What is Plein Air?

En plein air is a French expression meaning “in the open air” and refers to the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color, and movement into their works.

While plein air painting is rooted in direct observation, it also involves artistic interpretation and personal expression.

For this show, at least 80% of the painting should be completed outdoors and from direct observation.
