I enjoy building things out of simple materials like foam core board, so I thought I'd give it a shot to make some wet painting carriers out of a sheet of lightweight corrugated plastic similar to the ones made by one of the artist supply companies. I prefer to paint on 8x10 panels, and made mine to fit that size. I used 1/4" square balsa wood dowels to create slots to hold the panels. I made the first one big enough to hold 10 wet paintings. I still had a piece leftover to make another that will hold 4 wet paintings. I tried to make one more out of the scrap leftovers, but because of the way the channels of the corrugated plastic ran, it didn't work out.

Looks like you and I think alike, I guess it's that artist brain. I love to build things. You did a great Job.
Your art is very nice, i enjoyed looking through your blog. Thanks for your comment, It's always a great way to meet new artist.
Happy Painitng!
Thanks Amanda!
Really neat ... and the savings of not having to purchase a ready made panel carrier has to be a great incentive to build your own too.
