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 13 size with 21"" size and you can paint and port an 13x21, which happens to be a Fibonacci Series 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!

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.

 
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.
 

In art, nothing should resemble an anecdote. ♦ Robert Delaunay

Delaunay's exploration of abstraction and color led him to view art as more than just a narrative tool. While stories have their place, he believed that art should transcend the mere recounting of events. Instead, it should encapsulate emotions, ideas, and sensations in a way words often fail to convey.

For us, this perspective serves as a challenge. It pushes us to break free from the literal and to embrace the abstract, the symbolic, and the emotive. It's not about dismissing the value of storytelling in art but rather about recognizing the vast array of expressions available to us. Our canvases become arenas where emotions clash, merge, and dance, leaving the viewer with an experience rather than just a tale.

We found this intriguing quote, wrote insightful context, as well as created this unique image of Robert Delaunay to enrich your experience and inspire. Inspire us with your next painting!
