I have a picture box of this type, which has been used for nearly ten years. Mainly used when going out to sketch, and sometimes used when drawing small pictures in the studio. Its main advantages are that the bracket and easel are well designed and firm, the drawer is practical, and the palette and gadgets are handy.
But its box content is very limited, and it can't hold a few paints and pens. Therefore, when sketching, you must put tools such as paint, oil pot, pen and garbage bag on your back, either with an oil painting frame or a wooden drawing board stuck with cardboard. Therefore, the full weight of going out to sketch will not be reduced, but it can save a hand carrying a picture frame (of course, some people carry a heavy big picture frame when sketching, which can save the shoulder carrying a paint bag ... In short, painting is manual, especially outdoor sketching, and it is very important to coordinate the load).
If it is used in the studio, in fact, the exhibition scope is not large, and it has nothing to do with men and women. It's not that women use only a few kinds of pigments or only small pigments when painting, but that men can use many kinds of large pigments when painting, right? For example, if you are used to using the color 14- 16, and you paint for a long time, you will usually buy a lot of pigments, and even a large painting box can't hold this pile of pigments. The same is true of pens. I always hold it in my hand when I draw. When finished, they are either soaked in the pen container or wrapped and inserted in the pen container. Few people put them in picture boxes. So is colored oil. Bottles are usually vertical. If you lie down, maybe you can put them in a box, but it's easy to spill. If you don't spill them, they will stick to the bottle cap. No one will put them in the box. What are you going to put in your picture box? Waste paper for wiping pens? Moreover, its excellent easel function in the wild is redundant in the studio, and it is easy to be kicked or tripped by passers-by. The site area is also a bit unreasonable, and it can't save space. The key is that there is no stable easel in the studio. Buying it for use is not the best use.
In addition, I would like to remind you that the height of the legs of this box can be adjusted, but the adjustment range is limited. If you work outdoors, it is only suitable for standing or sitting on the floor. If you want to sit comfortably in a chair or Mazar-e, it's a pity that this box can't be adjusted to that height, and it will only make you miserable. So this is one of the reasons why this box is not suitable for indoor use. Few people stand when drawing small pictures indoors.
