Botanical Garden - 1
10x8, soft pastel
Last week I attended my very first plein air "paint out" with the Plein Air Painters of Idaho aka PAPI along with my friend Tina. I should say we attempted to paint out....but mostly, we got soaking wet and cold each day...freezing cold. Since we are both pastelist we didn't paint much but took quite a few reference photos and attended a short workshop. This is my one and only painting for that event. I was going to "finish it" when I got home but decided to leave it "as is" so I can consider it a 100% plein air painting...a benchmark for future plein air paintings.
Oh yes....I didn't mention that I also broke my camera because of all the rain (guess I need a waterproof one). And then THIS happened...(note to self...don't take your very best pastels outside to paint). It was a very expensive plein air event for me...but fun anyway!
