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 14" size with an additional 14" Porter™, and you can paint and carry two 14x14 Canvas Panels. Or combine this 14 size with 6"" size and you can paint and port an 6x14, which happens to be a 7:3 Extended Domino size.The 7:3 aspect ratio brings a bold and dramatic horizontal stretch, perfect for wide compositions that need to feel expansive and open. This format pulls the eye across the canvas, making it ideal for landscapes, cityscapes, or any scene where horizontal flow is essential. The narrow vertical space adds a layer of complexity, requiring careful use of vertical elements to maintain balance without overwhelming the composition.
There’s a natural tension in this ratio. The wide format invites exploration of the edges, creating a sense of openness, while the limited height keeps the scene intimate and controlled. It’s a format that encourages you to emphasize sweeping gestures, long vistas, or minimalist abstractions. It's great for conveying motion, distance, or the vastness of a scene, all within a strikingly sleek frame.
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.
The disc is the visual representation of unity.
♦ Robert Delaunay
Robert Delaunay, with his unique approach to art, often found profound meaning in shapes and forms. His fascination with the disc wasn't just about its circular shape; it was about the wholeness and completeness it represented. In the world of art, where concepts and meanings can be fluid, Delaunay saw in the disc a symbol of unity and consistency. It's not just a circle; it's a harmonious gathering of all its points, equidistant from a central core, speaking to the idea of cohesion.
This notion can be a powerful reminder. While we create, it's easy to become lost in the details or to be consumed by the vastness of our visions. However, just as the disc represents unity, our creations, too, should aim for a harmony where every brushstroke, every color, and every texture comes together to form a cohesive whole. It beckons us to find balance in our work, to strive for a unity that both captivates and communicates. Delaunay's life, characterized by his relentless pursuit of this balance, encourages us to view our work not just as individual pieces but as part of a grander tapestry of artistic expression.
Creativity is the heart of what we both do. So we've curated this empowering quote and some background. And, in our own act of creation, we provide this unique portrayal we made of Robert Delaunay.
