If using a pochade type paint box, take a soup can and make a clip from steel plumber’s tape! Fasten this to the can with a small nut and bolt. Make a notch in the rim of the paint box on the right side (if right-handed) to hold the plumber’s tape so it holds the can firmly and does not slip. You can make a pouring lip on the can on the opposite side if you wish using needle point pliers. If using thinners for oil paint just pour this into a small bottle at the end of your painting session so it can settle and is ready to re-use next time!
