Plein Air

Plein air painting is the art of creating outdoors, where nature is your canvas and your classroom. It’s a thrilling challenge that pushes you to think on your feet—whether it’s chasing the changing light, adapting to unexpected weather, or simply coming to grips with the shifting landscape before you. But every moment offers a valuable lesson in observation, patience, and flexibility.

As you paint in the open air, you’ll learn to capture fleeting moments, refine your skills in real-time, and discover the subtleties of light, color, and texture that can’t be replicated in a studio. You’ll also learn to embrace the unpredictable, whether it’s a sudden cloudburst or a shift in the breeze, and use those changes to enhance your work.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, plein air offers endless learning opportunities. Each session is a chance to improve your craft and grow as an artist. So grab your easel, step outside, and embrace the adventure of learning through nature!
