The New Wave U.go Pochade Box
This unique tool can help any painter mix colors for an entire composition in just minutes. The developers are always adding new features, and the accuracy has been very reliable. Frank uses it to help get an understanding of what the easiest base mixture would be for various subject matter, and then uses compliments and accents to manipulate that base mixture while painting.

Frank uses Lascaux Fixative on all his charcoal work. This fixative can be applied in coats, does not darken the drawing, and is both re-workable and archival.
