A word of caution - be carefull your glass palette does'nt pop out when you have it tilted like that. It used to happen a lot in animation studios where I worked. The glass disc would sometimes pop out from the desk and smash on the floor.
Ha. Funny you should say that. I HAVE broken my glass palette before so I often use the plexi one instead. Thanks for the tidbit ….hopefully, Another viewer will also take heed. Thanks For watching Paul.
This was a great review, thank you! I echo the tablet holder issue but it is a great idea. The paintbrush holder and especially the magnetic turp jars are among my favorite features. I had forgotten about using under the palette for storage! Thanks for the reminder. Now it will be easier to find some smaller things that get lost in the bottom of my backpack :) Looking forward to your next video!
thanks so much Ann....Yes, I really do love my Paintbook....I think they really make a great product and I love too, that it is made right here in the USA....and in my home state of Tennessee!!! Thanks for being a subscriber and i will try to keep cranking out some good content for you!!! Cheers!
Thanks for the insight. I really the idea of the light attachment. Could come in handy painting nocturnes. I wonder if there’s portable lights like the one you have here that can attach to other pochade set ups? Guess the attachment is custom built into the edge pro. Curious what do you use to carry the wet paintings? Thanks
Well hello and thanks for watching my video. Yes, I have used the light attachment mainly for painting demos in low light but I have not painted nocturnes….I bet it would be wonderful for that. As for how I carry may wet paintings out …well….I wish I had a good answer there. I mainly just handle them from underneath. Ha ha It’s not pretty. I know there are a lot smarter artists out there who can advise you better on this. I know a lot of folks who use pizza boxes or slotted carriers to do such. Again, thanks for watching and I hope you consider subscribing to my channel. Happy painting to YOU!!!
@@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist the light attachment has been changed. digital control, rechargeable nicad battery packs, and digital color temperature control....great for nocturnes, as a matter of fact they have a nocturne setup, the Casey Baugh signature package, which is what i got, is for nocturnes, black pallete included. you''ll love the new light
I love my paintbook. It travels so well. It’s been with me all over the world doing workshops and demos in zoos....sometimes..I just use it in my studio because it’s so handy and adjustable. It’s an investment but totally worth it.
I am looking to purchase a easel and tonight I came across the website for this and thought it seemed really nice,,, I’m checking out reviews now.... but I am painting with acrylics though and use a wet palette,,, I wonder how I can do that with this? Have you heard of anyone doing that like changing it up somehow for a wet palette? 🙃
Wendy Love23 wow. That’s a great question. I am sure it is done Wendy, but I don’t know anyone that does. I bet if you go on their site www.edgeprogear.com/paintbookstore you might be able to find something out. Also, call them. They have a great customer service group that might be able to direct you. I know the glass pallet pops out easily and I imagine you can pop a wet pallet in ....it’s just making sure you get the right size. Hmmmmmm. Now you got me thinking. If you find out something good Wendy....would you please let me know??! I would love to pass on any info to others that might have the same question. Another good plein air pallet is the En Plein Air Pro ....it’s pallet might be more conducive for acrylics. enpleinairpro.com/. You might want to check them out. My student just got this set and it’s great.
That backpack was given to me by EdgePro because they forgot to send my medium jar in the Ultimate Package. They have amazing customer service. You should check them Out.
This one is the large paint book. My student/friend also has this as well as the small sketchbook size. She loves it for en plein air as it’s way more portable sand easier to pack to be on a plane, etc. i might consider getting the sketchbook for smaller pieces
Katarina Meyers Gallery EdgePro Gear is a wonderful group that makes a great product. I take my Paintbook with me everywhere and the company is right here in Tennessee!!!!
Yes and yes. If you saw one of my more recent videos on painting the white egret, I was using my edge pro paintbook then….it was a snow day at my house!! I love it.
It is pricey for sure but I love mine and it has gone with me all over the world. It travels great and sets up so easily. A less expensive one that I like that several of my students have gotten is the en plein air pro ….it’s a great alternative
Got to agree, the price of boxes today has got to the point of being ridiculous. You could literally buy materials a router and table saw, make your own and still have change from what it costs to buy one of these pimped up boxes.

@@theoldtimefiddler I wonder if it can be retro fitted to my kit? I would be Interested.
Great review! I do not have anything like this but I surely need to😀 thanks for the video!

What size is the Edge pro paint book you are utilizing in this YTV?
I have the larger paint Book….it’s the size of a lap top. They also have the sketch book….the smaller version that easier to travel
Great idea 👍
Thank you! 😊 Its a great set up for painters

@@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist Thank you! 👍😍
Is that the large or medium pad? Thanks

Great organisation
Katarina Meyers Gallery EdgePro Gear is a wonderful group that makes a great product. I take my Paintbook with me everywhere and the company is right here in Tennessee!!!!
Do you still use this? Do you still recommend it?
Yes and yes. If you saw one of my more recent videos on painting the white egret, I was using my edge pro paintbook then….it was a snow day at my house!! I love it.
Way over priced
