TRANSON Art Portfolio Case Artist Backpack Canvas Bag Large 26” x 19.5”

This is the best artist's backpack I found on line or in any store. It is high capacity with enough storage compartments in the right sizes for everything you could need. The stitching seems strong and the shoulder straps are padded to make it comfortable to wear when full. This holds a lot: canvases, brushes, bottles, an easel, sketching supplies, cleaning supplies, much more than I expected. This will work better than expected, and allows me to be hands-free while carrying everything!

I use this for when walking rough Terran to do plein air painting. This backpack holds a phenomenal amount of supplies. I used it for my pastels (which are heavy), tripod that’s completely metal, small chair, pastel boards and a plethora of my other art supplies. When it was loaded I’d almost guess it was at about maybe 40 pounds. Yep, that’s a lot to hike with but the strong canvas and good stitching held together real well. Normally I don’t pack quite this heavy but during an art competition your only given a short time frame to get your work totally completed, so I need everything from blank canvas to framed to be hung within hours. The pack has the normal straps you find on a backpack but also one that buckles in front of your chest. This strap helps to stabilize and balance the weight, also keeps the straps from sliding off shoulders becoming lopsided. When fully packed it made me think of a military bag. When I paint in more of a flatter terrain I use a wheeled cart instead of the backpack. I picked the pink color, which to me is sort of a dark fuchsia. I picked the color because it stands out. Helps to be prepared in emergency when doing plein air. The color can be seen from a distance. And pack has room for some emergency supplies, which I also keep handy. Sun screen, bear spray, small first aid box, water and protein bars.

The design is really nice, I live the colors and it feels like it will hold up well. I can't speak much on durability yet, but the size is perfect. It is rather large for those looking for something smaller, but it is perfect for what I intend on using it for. It holds my art pads and my two larger portfolios (14x17 & 12x18) with room to spare.

This is a great idea of a bag and I will still use it. You can tell there is mass production involved here. The zipper is a little crooked and there are tons of extra threads everywhere when you first open it. with some clean up it looks nice. The largest pouch barely fits my 18x24 100 page newsprint sketchpad. It zips up, but there's a little bit of resistance, that pouch needs to be just a tad taller, if it was I would be able to fit both of my sketchpads in there as it is definitely wide enough all around, just not tall enough . I'm not sure where they got the measurement of 26” x 19.5”. Update: I've used it a few times, it has been a life saver for carrying all of my art supplies around the campus. I'd rather lug around this one bag. For the zipper issue, I've just left it open for when I need to have both of my sketchpads with me, otherwise I force the zipper closed when I just have one. Since I've had this bag, two other peers have gotten it as well and they have noticed the same issues, but still use it and don't mind it too much. I think I will be buying extra buckles to create a space for my art board to attach and sew them on. For the price, I like this backpack version more than the other bags I have seen online, in store, and on campus. I noticed an issue about color fading or transfer on other reviews, this khaki one (which is more of a dull army green in person) hasn't had that issue as of yet. I will update if there are any other changes.

I'm an art student and I was using a bag with only handheld straps to carry around my supplies but even then, not all of them would fit and I'd have to use a book bag as well. This portfolio case changed all of that. I can fit everything I need in here and more. I have my big drawing pad, 11x17 bristol board, 6+ bottles of acrylic paint (Mostly 4oz bottles), 2 boxes of soft pastels, a pencil box, my laptop, and an iPad in here (Just to name a few things). It doesn't hurt my back and I still have plenty of space. The zippers are sturdy, they don't feel loose or like they're about to fall off. The pockets are deep. There is no fraying in the fabric. The straps are wide and have some really nice cushions, so they're pretty comfortable. Every strap on the bag is adjustable, so you can tailor the bag to fit your needs. The only thing of note is that when I first got the bag none of the prong sides of the buckles were looped all the way through so when I unboxed it, they fell off and I had to find and reattach them. However, that was really easy to do and wasn't too big of an issue. In summary, I truly love this bag. It has checked all of my boxes and I highly recommend it.

Great artist backpack at a great price, roomy and very durable. I’ve already had 3 people (artists) ask where I bought this and plan on ordering.

Perfect for a teen art student! They love the color, fabric, functionality, and size. Perfect for someone who has to travel to class.

I ordered this bag for an art class and it worked well for what I needed. I had some issues with the zippers and straps but what I was carrying around was not breakable and was pretty big so I didn't have much of a concern about losing or breaking anything that was in the bag. I did really like the pockets on the outside and the handle on the side. I mostly used the handle on the side but I also wore it as a backpack when I did not need to also wear my regular backpack and that was okay too. I'm not sure how much I will use this bag now that I don't need it for school but it is easy to store so I will have it if I need it again.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kauf! Ich habe den Rucksack für meine Kunstreise benutzt. Papier und einen DIN A3 Staffelei passen in die hinteren Abteilung, die Stifte habe ich in flache Container gepackt und in den vorderen Taschen transportiert. Ich fand den Rücksack sehr bequem. Ich bin von kleinen Wuchs, aber der Rucksack sitzt auch gut.

Poor quality material and finish. Just not worth the cost.

Great product

I really love the organization, quality and layout of this artist backpack. It carries everything from my art easel to my large bottles of paint, it can also carry big canvases and many of them. Even carries all my sketching pencils in the upper compartment. The handle looks like it would be very comfortable to carry for long periods of time, the padding in the backpack straps looks like it would be very comfortable and nothing digs in. I think all in all its great for anyone that does portraits if the wilderness and nature scenes. It could easily hold clothes and a small amount of camping supplies if that's what you like to do.

Great backpack for artists. Good quality and lightweight. Such a great size - allowing plenty of room for sketch pads, canvases, paints, pens, brushes, etc. My husband is delighted with this. Definitely recommend.
