Colors in the box

Here's my box of pastels out in the wild (en plein air, at a painting site). I often find that it's hard to keep these bright, energetic, pure pigment sticks contained...... they're raring to jump out of the box, and on to paper! So I listen to the ones that seem especially insistent that they have something to add to the scene, and pick them up, and lay down the color, and over time, they all get a turn!
