There were six incredible gardens featured on the tour with one or two plein air artists working at each one. My assigned garden stretched across three lots and contained winding rock paths, Japanese maples, sedum, and a variety of other seasonal flowers. I chose lightweight oil pastels as my medium due to their portability, which turned out to be a good choice as the garden was on a slope.

BMCA suggested naming our work so that it could be identified with each artist’s assigned garden. Since my garden location was Cottage Settings Lane, I named the art “Perfect Setting.” I don’t know if it was the art, the frame, or the title, but my plein air oil pastel sold!\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspired to Participate in a Plein Air Event?\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you are interested in taking part in a live plein air painting event, I strongly encourage you to take that step. Here are a few helpful hints:\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>\u003Cstrong>Choose your support and/or image size first \u003C/strong>\u003C/em>and order any \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/\">\u003Cspan class=\"s2\">framing supplies\u003C/span>\u003C/a> in advance. For ideas on how to frame your art once it's ready for the spotlight, see our \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/for-professionals/new-framing-options-for-plein-air-painters\">new options for plein air painters\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I had only four days to finish and frame my artwork before the gallery drop-off date. Frame Destination offers a rush service and express shipping if you find yourself in a real time crunch.\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>\u003Cstrong>Pack for your health, safety, and comfort.\u003C/strong>\u003C/em> Bring plenty of drinks, snacks, a chair or stool if you need one, and rain gear.

People are curious about art and artists and will be taking your picture, looking over your shoulder, etc. I’m an introvert, so this part was harder for me than the thunderstorm.
