PLEIN AIR
Plein Air painting dates back to the French impressionists who left their studios to paint “in the open air.”
“Plein Air painting is exhilarating and challenging for artists who attempt to quickly capture the light and colors of the scene before them.
The French term "plein air" means out of doors and refers to the practice of painting entire finished pictures out of doors rather than in a studio.
Please email me if you would like to be put on our artists mailing list.
