 Pastels are sticks of pure pigment-the same pigment that is in other paint such as oil or watercolor.  The pigment is mixed with a small amount of binder to hold it together in stick form.  It is essentially dry paint.    

Pastel paintings are made on an archival surface, such as paper or board with enough tooth to allow the pigment to grip or stick to the paper. Nathalie paints on artist's archival sanded paper, usually mounted to archival foamcore or masonite.  Pastel paintings are best displayed framed behind glass to keep them from smudging.    

 A plein air painting is simply a painting that has been created outdoors, in the open air.  

Plein air competitions are  where artists work outdoors, and usually have some type of time limits and/or boundaries which in which they must complete their paintings.  The paintings must be conceived and completed outdoors, in whatever conditions Mother Nature decides to make available.    

Painting plein air is usually exhilarating, sometimes frustrating, and always memorable.
