Plein Air - On Location

En plein air (French for "outdoors"), or plein air painting, is the act of painting outdoors.

Painting from a live view outdoors poses a different challenge than painting from a picture or your imagination. The light and weather might change, cars or crowds might move, and people might even come up and ask what you are doing.

But we all know - these challenges make us grow!

So grab your painting supplies and find something outdoors you would like to paint. You may use whatever medium you like, the only rule that matter is this:

You may only paint or draw outdoors - no prework or finishing touches at home!
