So you\u2019ve got up your courage and you\u2019re determined to go paint en plein air! Brava! But then\u2026you don\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then you feel like rubbish about <em>not<\/em> going out to paint. Am I right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five obstacles that may come up to prevent you from getting out and painting on location and ways to find your way over\/around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-15-at-3.42.23-PM.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-15-at-3.42.23-PM.png\" alt=\"Painting on location - overwhelming landscape\" class=\"wp-image-27895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-15-at-3.42.23-PM.png 700w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-15-at-3.42.23-PM-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Feeling Overwhelmed&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Painting outdoors can be a sensory overload with an over-abundance of possible subjects to paint. It&#8217;s natural to feel overwhelmed initially and so you may just give up before you\u2019ve even got started! To combat this, start small &#8211; both in size of paper and in what you paint. Rather than going for the entire panorama, choose a simple subject. This can be a single tree or one building in a field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to what stopped you and focus on capturing that, and that only. Maybe it was the pattern of the cast shadow on a building or the contrast of a single red poppy in a field of green. Just because you\u2019re in a gorgeous landscape doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t paint a few wildflowers up against a stone wall. Remember, much of the joy of painting on location lies in immersing yourself in the process of painting and being in a flow state.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/davide-ragusa-gcDwzUGuUoI-unsplash-copy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/davide-ragusa-gcDwzUGuUoI-unsplash-copy-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Painting on location - fear of an audience\" class=\"wp-image-27901\" width=\"512\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/davide-ragusa-gcDwzUGuUoI-unsplash-copy-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/davide-ragusa-gcDwzUGuUoI-unsplash-copy-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/davide-ragusa-gcDwzUGuUoI-unsplash-copy-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/davide-ragusa-gcDwzUGuUoI-unsplash-copy.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Fear of an Audience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s totally understandable to be self-consciousness about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/2020\/12\/putting-yourself-out-there-demoing-in-public\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">painting in public<\/a>. The thought of passersby observing your work can be daunting. Overcoming this fear requires a shift in mindset. Remind yourself that <em>you<\/em> are the one out there painting the scene. Most people will admire and appreciate what you\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if they don\u2019t, remind yourself that you aren\u2019t there to do a perfect painting. You\u2019re out there to learn by doing, to learn to see more, to learn more about yourself and the way you work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ease into painting in public, start by finding quieter locations with fewer onlookers. If you have a garden or backyard, this is a great place to start. As your confidence grows, gradually venture into busier areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Students-in-my-Yorkshire-Dales-workshop.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Students-in-my-Yorkshire-Dales-workshop.png\" alt=\"Painting on location - Students in my Yorkshire Dales workshop\" class=\"wp-image-27909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Students-in-my-Yorkshire-Dales-workshop.png 500w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Students-in-my-Yorkshire-Dales-workshop-300x209.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Students in my Yorkshire Dales workshop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Lack of a Painting Buddy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a companion on your plein air painting adventures can make the experience more enjoyable and provide a sense of security. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/2023\/04\/a-painting-buddy-why-every-artist-needs-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">painting buddy<\/a> gives motivation to go painting on location whereas you, on your own, will easily find excuses not to go out painting! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a friend interested in joining you, consider joining a local art group that goes painting on location regularly eg once a week. Another option is to take a workshop focused on plein air painting. Both of these options provide the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded artists and share the experiences of painting together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, embrace solitude and relish the tranquility that painting alone can bring. Put a date in the calendar and keep it! Remember, plein air painting is ultimately about your personal connection with your subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/caroline-selfors-r2jpr8MDw0I-unsplash-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/caroline-selfors-r2jpr8MDw0I-unsplash-copy-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Painting on location - packing too much equipment\" class=\"wp-image-27898\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/caroline-selfors-r2jpr8MDw0I-unsplash-copy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/caroline-selfors-r2jpr8MDw0I-unsplash-copy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/caroline-selfors-r2jpr8MDw0I-unsplash-copy.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Too Much Equipment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The prospect of lugging around a multitude of painting supplies can be discouraging. You quit before you\u2019ve started. Painting en plein air doesn&#8217;t require an extensive array of tools. Simplify your setup. What do you really need? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/2018\/06\/backyard-plein-air-painting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paint in your backyard<\/a> and take only the bare minimum &#8211; an easel, board, paper, a small selection or set of pastels, and a sketchbook (for thumbnails of course!). You\u2019ll soon discover what\u2019s missing or if you can actually pull something together with this minimum number of supplies.\u00a0This lighter kit means you can move about easily and will enjoy getting our to paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being weighed down by unnecessary equipment is a complete drag! Remember, simplicity of materials can foster creativity and freedom in your artistic expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-11-at-4.11.17-AM-copy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-11-at-4.11.17-AM-copy.png\" alt=\"Painting on location - overcast weather in Newcastle\" class=\"wp-image-27899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-11-at-4.11.17-AM-copy.png 700w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-11-at-4.11.17-AM-copy-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Bad Weather<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re planning to go out painting when the morning of the day, the weather turns colder than you expected and you might be tempted to say, Um, not today. Weather conditions can be unpredictable, and inclement conditions can easily deter you from going to paint on location. However, stick to your commitment to go paint! If it&#8217;s colder, take a sweater! If rain is expected, consider finding a place that\u2019s under a shelter. Remember, you can always sketch rather than doing a full set up with pastels or paint. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/2018\/05\/painting-an-overcast-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Overcast<\/a> weather can present unique opportunities for capturing atmosphere and mood.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that plein air painting isn\u2019t about creating an amazing painting. It\u2019s about being outside, seeing deeply, and painting your experience. So go create some moody skies!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>By understanding and addressing these five common obstacles to painting on location, you\u2019ll be more inclined to bite the bullet and get out painting. Remember, plein air painting is an art form that celebrates the beauty of nature and capturing fleeting moments in time. Embrace the adventure, enjoy the process, and let the world see you out there creating. So, gather your courage, pack your essential supplies, and go forth to paint en plein air!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gail<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five obstacles that can come up to prevent us from getting out and painting on location and how to get past them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":27914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[205],"tags":[15,69],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
