Pastels are a perfect medium for painting outdoors. In this video I show my different plein air setups - from just a backpack with a board to best plein air systems for pastels which include pastel box, tripod and easel attachment. We can always start with less, make sure we love painting outdoors and upgrade our plein air gear for pastels later.

I was so taken with the Heilman boxes, but just could not afford them! SO I made my own soft pastel box, it is to heavy for mounting on a tripod, but I truly have zero plans for working outside! I did enjoy this video and I look forward to a finishing video? I hope so. Have a lovely day!

Thanks Pete! Yes, Heilman boxes are not cheap. I was saving on shoes and clothes to afford the first one 😂 My husband made the first studio box for me, but for plein air I wanted the Heilman for all its great qualities. If you don’t ever take pastels outdoors then there’s no reason to buy one. I’m sure the box you made serves you well. I do plein air and I had to travel to teach the workshops as well, so it makes it really easier.

This was so very helpful. I have wanted to see your process for a long time and am new to pastels. I visited family in Centerport, NY, in 2021 and thought that I recognized the setting you were in while painting. The area reminded me of my childhood home, (Norwalk, Ct.). I'd love to see the entire demo. I miss the east coast and I thank you so much for sharing this with us.

I’m so glad it was helpful and reminded you of the childhood area! The place I was in is near Stony Brook, but it might look quite similar to the one you visited. Maybe next time I try recording my plein air, I’ll find a more quiet place, so there’s no loud conversation going in the background 😂

Great video and so helpful! Does the Heilman box come with the fitting that you said you sometimes forget - to attach to the tripod, or is this an accessory that must be purchased separately?

@LanaBallot 4 дня назад

Thanks! I'm not sure which one you are referring to. If it's a little handle to fix the tripod from tilting, it's coming with the tripod. If you mean the attachment that goes on top of the easel and holds the board with the paper, then it's separate part that Heilman sells. They come in different sizes - smaller and larger. Mine is a larger one, I believe. When you look at the Heilman site you'll see them. The box comes with pre-drilled holes to fit that "easel" in. I hope that helps.

OH LANA HOW WNDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO GO OUTDOORS WITH ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT AND ENJOY A BREATH OF FRESH AIR & PAINT A LOVELY SCENERY OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER> IT LOOKS SOO PEACEFUL OUT THERE AND I ENVY YOU OUT THERE TODAY! LMAO 😄😄

@LanaBallot 9 месяцев назад

Thank you Lynda! Yes, it was a beautiful summer day. Even though the noisy company settled in behind me, it was still nice to be out.

@chappbj 4 месяца назад

Thank you, Lana! What is your set up for filming this?

@LanaBallot 4 месяца назад

Well, that was a different story :) I had another cheap tripod with a flexible phone holder, I used the iPhone for filming. No high tech gear at all, I'm sure it shows 🙂

@danaenders7816 9 месяцев назад

I have the large box that you have but it seems to be too heavy for the tripod and it has tipped several times. I bought an easel that was suppose to take the weight but the ball portion is what slips over time. Wondering what easel you have.

@LanaBallot 9 месяцев назад

Hi Dana, I don't think the model of the tripod is sold at that site any longer, but they probably have a similar one. Check out this one www.artworkessentials.com/products/Tripods/TP6777/TP6777.html Mine is "Easyl" but I know a lot of pastel artists use Manfrotto tripods and happy with them, but I have not used it personally.

I actually mean tripod
