Pochade (from French Poche, pocket or Pocher meaning to sketch) is a small, quick painted sketch, usually rendered in oils. The Pochade Box, is a small portable "studio", holding canvases, brushes, paints and any other items that can fit in.

Ricardo made and designed his own pochade box. It holds 6 canvases of 20cm (8") x 15cm (6"), that can safely be stored, wet within the box as well as brushes, paints, turps and a small light for night time painting, to illuminate the painting and palette. The box can attach to a camera tripod, or be held close to the chest with the strap.

The paintings contained within the pochade galleries are all rendered in oils, and can be purchased framed or unframed in mountboard.
