Paint and Carry Any Size You Like!
Panel Porter™ is a simple, versatile, and economical wet panel carrier that provides the most secure transport of your precious artwork available on the market. Insert your wet painted panels face-to-face in a wooden frame designed with metal pins that lock each corner. Air holes allow your painting to breathe while you transport your artwork.
One of the celebrated features of this product is they liberate artists to paint any size panels they want. Since Panel Porter™ are sold in sizes "every inch," you can paint any size panel you want and still can safely transport your artwork. You are not limited to only a handful of standard sizes that are commonly available.
For example, combine this 4" size with an additional 4" Porter™, and you can paint and carry two 4x4 Canvas Panels. Or combine this 4 size with 5"" size and you can paint and port an 4x5, which happens to be a 5:4 Photography size.The 5:4 aspect ratio is common to both art and portrait photography, as it creates a visually pleasing format for the human figure and face. The balanced compositional format can help to create a sense of symmetry and harmony in your artwork. The 5:4 ratio has a familiar "feel", as it was commonly used in early computer monitors. Additionally, you might consider trying some relatively unknown sizes in this same proportion that we call Lost SizesAs an artist, you get the best of both worlds, because you still get to use the same aesthetically appealing 5:4 format and use rare or novel sizes that help make your art stand-out.
With a small collection of Porter™ sizes, you can mix-and-match to create a variety of canvas panel carriers making it easy for you to paint and carry sizes that you have never before tried. Masterpiece® has 75 standard canvas panel sizes, including proportions like the Golden Mean, Squares, HDTV, Root Rectangles, Fibonacci sizes, and many more!
Securely Transport Two Wet Canvas Panels of Any Size!
Your artwork should dictate the size of your carrier, not the other way around!

Panel Porter™ Profile View
Making your artwork as secure as possible is one of the key features and benefits of our unique wet panel carrier. Panel Porter™ transports two 1/8" thick wet panels, face to face. If you only paint one panel, then insert a dry panel in the other slot. The panels are spaced 1/2" apart, thereby providing adequate distance between the two paintings.
The inside groove of Panel Porter™ is tapered, which consequently barely touches the panel only at the extreme outside edge of the panel and thereby does not harm your artwork.
To assemble your Panel Porter™ wet carrier, fit three Porter Bars together to form a U-shape. Secure two of the corners with locking pins, tightened firmly using a US dime or screwdriver. The remaining two corners at the open end of the U can be closed with brass clasps for quick assembly and access, or with additional locking pins for a more secure connection. The goal is to keep the U-shape rigid, with the legs parallel and the corners holding their right angles.
Also included are 3/4" hook-and-loop dots. Attach them to the Porter Bars in the configuration shown in the diagram. The dots hold the U-shape steady while you slide a wet panel into the groove. A predictable, stationary frame makes loading easier and protects a wet painting from contact with a flexing bar.
Hold the panel from below with the artwork facing up, and slide it into the lower groove of the U-shaped frame. The locking pins and hook-and-loop dots keep the Porter Bars parallel, so the panel slides in cleanly without striking a flexing bar.
Art is the measure of the vitality of the societies that produce it.
♦ Robert Delaunay
Robert Delaunay, a pivotal figure in the development of abstract art, delved into the idea that art serves as a mirror, reflecting the heartbeat and energy of its originating society. Rooted in this perspective is the understanding that every brushstroke, sculpture, or melody carries with it the nuances, tensions, and aspirations of its time.
This connection implies a responsibility and an opportunity. We become chroniclers of our age, capturing the ethos and spirit of our society. Our creations become the legacy, the historical footprints that future generations will look upon to understand our collective psyche. Through art, we don't just express individual emotions; we give voice to the collective pulse, the shared dreams and challenges of our era. Recognizing this relationship empowers us to approach our work with a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that each piece contributes to the grand mosaic of human history.
We hope you will be inspired by the wisdom, and our interpretation thereof, of Robert Delaunay, plus we made this unique little portrait to begin the creative process. Time to start your creative process!
