I have just rearranged my plein air pastel box for my painting trip to Monhegan Island in Maine. Below you can see how it used to be, arranged by hue in gradation from dark to light, with neutrals collected separately. Now I’ve arranged it as above: from left to right: light/dark, warm/cool. It will be interesting to see how this influences the work I’ll do.
I am so looking forward to painting. Quite unusually, it’s been over a month, and I’m itching to get to it. Let’s hope there is some new work to share next week!

How interesting! I’ve wondered how to “organize” my pastels — for me it ends up being an intuitive process, just putting in whatever feels right in the moment. (Terry Ludwig’s eggplant is a must, though!) The way you’ve organized yours is illuminating to see.
