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 8" size with an additional 8" Porter™, and you can paint and carry two 8x8 Canvas Panels. Or combine this 8 size with 4"" size and you can paint and port an 4x8, which happens to be a 2:1 Domino size.The 2:1 aspect ratio, that we call the domino proportion, also offers a unique canvas for artists to play with the perception of space and depth within their compositions. The elongated format allows for the inclusion of foreground, middle ground, and background elements, creating a sense of distance and scale that draws the viewer's eye into the artwork. This aspect ratio has been used by artists throughout history, from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings to Renaissance frescoes to contemporary photography. Its versatility and timelessness make it a classic choice for artists seeking to create dynamic and engaging compositions.
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.
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
♦ Robert Delaunay
Such a profound realization from Robert Delaunay, who witnessed firsthand the contrasts and dichotomies of the world around him. Living through the turbulent times of World Wars, Delaunay was no stranger to the coexistence of light and dark, both in the global landscape and within the human soul. His life, characterized by revolutionary artistic expressions, was a testament to finding brilliance amidst challenges and contrasts.
In our paths as artists, we often find that our most luminous creations emerge from moments of struggle or introspection. The play of shadows and highlights in our works mirrors the challenges and triumphs in our lives. It's through the understanding of darkness, its depth and nuances, that we can truly appreciate the radiance of light. This balance, this dance between two opposites, gives depth to our art and meaning to our stories, urging us to embrace every shade of our experiences.
We love fanning the flames of your artistic passion. Immerse yourself in the wisdom of this intriguing quote and context, and enjoy our own unique creation of this portrait of Robert Delaunay. Paint your heart out!
