The heavier build aluminium tripod legs are more rigid and sturdy than the lighter build aluminium legs. It’s a trade off between portability and stability.

Are you looking to carry canvas sheets or hardboard canvas? If you are carrying canvas sheets it’s important to choose a bag that will support the canvas and prevent it from getting folded or bent during your travels. If you are using a hardboard canvas then it is a good idea to have a bag with a compartment to keep your canvas separate from your other art materials. Our bags are water-resistant and have some waterproof components. Water-resistant is not the same as waterproof. Water-proofing is achieved by ultrasonically welding plastic panels together to create a watertight membrane - an extremely expensive undertaking that would likely triple or quadruple the price of our products if used. Water-resistance means that the item has a higher likelihood of keeping your possessions dry. The Polyester shell covering the outer surface of our products is waterproof and the Toughtek covering high-wear areas is waterproof. The zips and stitching are water-resistant. All these features work to greatly minimise moisture entering the internal compartments and damaging your belongings and art. However, the Art Satchel and Field Case cannot be classified as waterproof strictly speaking. Nevertheless, one of our customers took his Slate Mini out during a Tropical storm (same materials) and the results were amazing. The bag kept everything dry. The bag itself is 19 by 15 by 2-3/4 inches, so it safely holds drawing pads up to 14 by 17 inches. It expands up to 4 inches to fit bulkier supplies, too. The removable, adjustable shoulder strap is comfortable enough for everyday use, but it’s not padded, so it’s not going to feel great when it’s loaded down.

The Art Satchel is designed to carry a smaller tablet in the removable Storage Caddy or a larger tablet / laptop in the laptop sleeve or in the main compartment. The maximum outer tablet / laptop dimensions that the Art Satchel can hold (in the main compartment) are 14.9 x 11.8 x 1.5 in (38 x 30 x 3.5cm). This is a great art supplies carrier and storage option for oil painting supplies. The ArtBin 3 tray supply box is designed to store all of your arts and crafts supplies such as paintbrushes, markers, paints, stamps, glues, and more all in one place.

Choose a bag with sufficient compartments for your needs. You can use your art supply bag as an all-in-one bag and keep your mobile phone, tablet, and wallet in there together with your art supplies! Zip or flap
