En Plein Air - A French expression that means “in the open air” is used to describe the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view. With portable paints and easels, the Impressionists found they could capture the momentary and transient effects of natural light and the elements by painting en plein air.
It is a reminder to us how the same scenes we see each day are altered by the changing conditions of sky and sun. How much do we notice? The artist catches every detail and nuance with their skilled eye and talented hand. A moment in time is captured on their sketchpad or canvas.
