Very cool idea! I know i'm seeing this 2 years later, but I'd be tempted to squish that cup into the hole. It's wider on the top so should catch on the edges of the hole nicely, and even though squished out of shape should still hold water.
Hot glue a strong magnet to bottom of your watercup them hot glue a large flat washer to your easel in the corner also you can hot glue or wood glue a flat magnet to your easel that would hold your paint palette that will hold your water container stronger. And you dont alwayshave to rember your clips as they are already glued to your board...plusset up time is shorter......mikelle art mom👩🎨✍🎨
What a good idea! Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best 😊 I’ll give it a go next time I’m out, I’m sure I’ve got some lying around somewhere...
Be on the look out for large elastic bands, thrown away by the postman. These are every where on the streets of London. I use them to hold down my pages of my sketchbook, and to hold my pencils and rubbers in place.
This is so great. I always wanted to do this but not good at diy. Instead of the dolly do you think a drawing board would work? Or will it need to be more sturdy.
Don’t worry I’m terrible at DIY too this was literally the first time I have used a drill to make something! And yeah a drawing board should work as long as it’s thicker than the t-nut. If you had a spare tripod you could also just glue the mounting plate to the board (as long as you didn’t need it for an actual camera!)
Yay! I did something similar, but made it a box. I basically followed this tutorial with a couple of others for some modifications. czcams.com/video/ntCyNkvgLi8/video.html
Oh. And this one. It takes a bit more work, but wasn't too hard. Definitely more measuring and cutting involved though. So that can be a deterrent. I made it as cheaply as possible, but might make a "fancy" one someday. :) czcams.com/video/Q4c6NbRP5Q4/video.html
There are so many great variations out there, I love it! It would be good to have a tray to go underneath so I could paint bigger... that might have to be my next project 🤔
Nice and easy! For the water cup, you could use magnets too (just drop one in the bottom of the cup, and use the same clips as did for the palette)
That’s genius!! It worked 😊

There is a certain joy in making something useful yourself

Amazing Idea... Girl you have done a good job, and your technic is fantastic.... "BRAVO" for you...
Thank you 🙏 I was pleased for my very first DIY attempt!

Genius idea!!!
Very smart diy! Thank you👏
Thanks! 🤓
Great idea. I have a lightweight extendable camera tripod which I could use to mount the painting board like you did here. Nice job!
I need to say that i love that you divides your videos it helps a lot!! :)
I’ll keep doing it! 😊
To secure your water cup with 2 large Bulldog clips, left and right of your water cup, with elastic bands stretched between the 2 clips.
What a good idea! Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best 😊 I’ll give it a go next time I’m out, I’m sure I’ve got some lying around somewhere...
Thank you for uploading this! I found it super helpful! I plan on creating something like this for Balboa Park in SD.

Put a magnet on the bottom of your water cup, if needed glue one onto the metal where the wheel screwed into. Voila.
Very clever setup! Quaint and effective. 😁
Love it! I find I paint better standing up anyway, so I am definitely going to be making a plein air easal for sure! 👌
That's a great point - it's so much easier to paint loosely when you're standing up!
Fantastic idea, thanks for sharing!
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your approach!
amazing work. really well done.
This was really helpful, thank you!
Great.....good work.. And simple thanks
wonderful idea. thank you
Good job.
Thanks Robert!
So cool, I need to make one of these!
thank you !
How clever.
Get a hole saw the size of the cup and drop it in the hole?
Stick on velcro for the water container
Which 360 camera is that? It’s so cool.
It’s the Insta360 one x2! I love it 😊
That’s a nice bag you have. What’s the make?
Thank you! What kind of backpack is that?
It’s the crumpler ‘extrovert’ 😊
