I will be giving a plein air workshop in pastel and I thought this might be the opportunity to share some tips for painting with pastel en plein air.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">How to choose a pallet<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As pastel artist we need a certain collection of sticks to paint from. I usually advice not to buy the sets offered by different manufacturers but to choose from the open stock. In the end it&#8217;s cheaper.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Google for some photos of your painting location. Look at the colors at the different seasons. They can vary a lot so choose the colors of the season you&#8217;re travelling.<\/li>\n<li>I work on the softer end of pastel range, because I like to blend a lot in my first layers. So I have to make sure that I have a supply of Sennelier. On top of that I use Unison or Terry Ludwig .There are artist who prefer the harder range. Just make sure it fits to your paper and painting style.<\/li>\n<li>Be aware that you need really dark and light colors.<\/li>\n<li>Almost more important are the neutrals colors, with low intensity. Here lies the secret of a good landscape painting. A special blog post on this follows.<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t take any black\/ white colors with me. The sticks I use for the sky are light greens, or yellows or blues. This makes a sky luminance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then there is a point where you just have to close your pastel box and hope that you have the right color. And if not? Don&#8217;t whine but make the best out of it and find a solution that works.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the photograph you can see the Heilmann Back pack Box from<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/heilmandesigns.com\/?product=heilman-backpack-pastel-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Heilmann design<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A much cheaper alternative in Europe is offered by Jackson Art supplies:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/jacksons-empty-wooden-pastel-cases\"> Empty Wooden Pastel Cases<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t want to miss another blog post?
