12 Inch Panel Porter Pair with Hardware P2-12

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 12" size with an additional 12" Porter™, and you can paint and carry two 12x12 Canvas Panels. Or combine this 12 size with 16"" size and you can paint and port an 12x16, which happens to be a 4:3 Cinema size.

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!

Creativity Has No Limits! Paint and Carry any size panel you like!

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 Panel Porter™, simply fit three Porter Bars together to form a U-Shape. There are two types of hardware. The brass clasps are for quick and easy assembly, and locking pins are the most secure method to secure the Porter frame. We recommend using the locking pins to construct the U-Shaped frame. Doing so makes it easier to prevent the Porter Bars from spreading open, in fact, using a screwdriver or a US Dime, tighten the corners firmly, so as the Porter Bars are as close to square as possible.

Holding the panel with one hand and with the art work facing up, slide the panel into the lower track of the U-Shape Porter. This is easier when the Porter bars do not spread apart, which is why we recommend using the locking pins to tightly hold the frame together.

Once you have the panel in the lower track, simply slide it in and try to keep the Porter Bars from spreading apart as you do this. You will notice that the Porter Bars have an angled track so as not to touch or harm your artwork.

Flip over the Panel Porter™ making sure that the Bars do not spread apart. Try to hold the Porter wood Bars and not touch your wet painting. This is easier when the Porter Bars do not spread apart.

In order to carry your wet panel inside Panel Porter™, you need a second panel to protect your artwork. If you only painted one panel, then you will need a second panel that is dry, or even one that is still in the celophane package. Either way, simply slide-in the second panel into the lower track.

When both panels are inserted into the U-Shape Porter, simply attach the remaining fourth Bar and squeeze it all together. You can insert the metal locking pins which becomes the most secure carrier on the market. Or you can insert the brass clasps, which is quicker to install, but not as secure. For short distances, they work fine in most cases.

Once you've locked-up Panel Porter™, you can put it in your backpack and go! The wood frame provides excellent protection for the edges of your panels. There are holes in the corners that allow your painting to degas while the artwork is inside the frame.

For me, sorrow is the most fertile soil. . Out of it springs the strongest and the most inwardly concentrated art. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's life was a tapestry of emotional intensities, filled with moments of both elation and profound sorrow. He left his family in France, seeking an environment in Tahiti that could inspire him artistically. This sacrifice was undoubtedly painful, a sentiment reflected in many of his works. Despite the beauty of the landscapes and people he painted, a haunting melancholy pervades his pieces, revealing the depth of his emotional experience.
Sorrow, as Gauguin suggests, can be a powerful motivator and muse. When we confront our pain and channel it into our work, the art we create often achieves a depth and authenticity that might elude us in more carefree moments. It is in the depths of sorrow that our emotions become sharp, clear, and vivid. Through art, we find a way to communicate these feelings, sharing our experiences and connecting deeply with our audience. Like Gauguin, we recognize that the most compelling art often emerges from our most challenging experiences, becoming a testament to both our vulnerabilities and our strengths.
We offer you these words of wisdom and our take on the message in hope to inspire your art. We also pay tribute by creating this unique portrait of Paul Gauguin. Go paint!
