The average time to create one small plein air piece is 45 minutes to 2 hours....usually 1 hour /10 minutes. I take my backpack size heilman box full of my favorite pastels. These consist of girault, unison, diana townsend, terry ludwig and other odd ones. I also carry a small watercolor palette and a one inch flat and a half inch flat (brush). Oh I forgot to mention, my heilman box (and easel bar)attach to a light weight tripod-making a quick easel.<BR/>Try outdoors and if it's for you, you'll never turn back. In addition to the wonder of outdoor painting plein air painting builds a "vocabulary" to use when you paint inside the studio. I find that I take more chances in the studio because I am beginning to understand light.<BR/>I absolutely LOVE being outside and feel incomplete unless I have been in the woods each day. Maybe I am a squirrel:-)loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-32885843626950420802009-01-04T01:42:00.000-05:002009-01-04T01:42:00.000-05:00Ooh, gorgeous!

I love the apricot-colored line from the left going towards the center.<BR/>Do you paint that size of a pastel painting in a single session outdoors? (I have never ever tried painting outdoors, in any medium!) If so, how long does it take you, and how many colors do you bring along?Jala Pfaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186623108399217523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-1233973608658949732009-01-03T19:27:00.000-05:002009-01-03T19:27:00.000-05:00You're too much Karen!
