Actually, I make frequent plein air trips on my Harley. When I travel and paint on the Harley, I can&#8217;t decide which is more fun&#8230;the trip there, or the painting while there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people ask how I do it, so thought I would add some information on what painting equipment I take.  For Harley enthusiasts,<a href=\"#flhriroadking\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#flhriroadking\"> scroll down for more info and accessories I have on the FLHRI Road King<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, I have miniaturized and reduced all my equipment down to fit in the two hard saddlebags on the back of the Harley. Although my primary plein air easel is a Soltek, it won&#8217;t fit in the side bags and is a little cumbersome to strap on the back of the motorcycle. I don&#8217;t want anything strapped on the back, hanging off the side, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I purchased an&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.openboxm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Open Box M Palm box<\/a>, which fits perfectly in a side bag with room to spare for other items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a list of equipment I pack in the saddlebags:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.openboxm.com\/pages\/other_prod.html\" target=\"_blank\">Open Box M Palm box<\/a>&nbsp;(paints are stored in the box)<\/li><li>Camera Tripod (to hold the Palm Box. Most any tripod will do)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Several 6&#215;8 and 8&#215;10 canvas boards (usually&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.raymarart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">RayMar<\/a>&nbsp;brand)<\/li><li>3-4 Brushes (usually a size 6, 8, &amp; 10 Bright)<\/li><li>Shop Towels (I just take enough for the day&#8230;not the entire roll)<\/li><li>Small water spray bottle (if painting in Acrylic)<\/li><li>Paper Palette (if painting in Acrylic. For oils, I just use the Palm Box palette)<\/li><li>Small brush washer (if painting in Oil)<\/li><li>Small container of Goop (For cleanup)<\/li><li>Viewfinder (Check out&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.artworkessentials.com\/products\/accessories\/Viewfinder\/VF68G.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Artworkessentials.com for a really great viewfinder<\/a>)<\/li><li>A few miscellaneous items such as sun tan lotion packed in small plastic containers.&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.raymarart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RayMar<\/a>&nbsp;8&#215;10 Panel Carrier which can hold six wet panels. The&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/openboxm.com\/pages\/other_prod.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Open Box M Palm box<\/a>&nbsp;can hold two wet panels, so I carry this only on days or trips when I might do more than two paintings.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives me room to spare to take other items like baseball cap, lunch, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Palm box holds two wet canvases, so when I paint in oils, I may also take a&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.raymarart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RayMar<\/a>&nbsp;8&#215;10 Panel Carrier which can hold six wet panels. This cramps the sidebags, but I still have plenty room.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lately, I have wanted to do larger format paintings, so instead of the Pochade Box, I have been carrying my&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.soltekarts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Soltek easel<\/a>&nbsp;and a wet box in a T-Bag on the back of the bike:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.soltekarts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Soltek Easel<\/a><\/li><li>12&#215;16 Panel Carrier from&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer

noopener\">T-Bag<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows me to do up to a 12&#215;16 size painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are some pictures of me, the Harley and painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
