Plein Air Painting

Writer/Producer: Kristy Vaughn


A warm and sunny day provides the incentive for many regional artists to take their easel and canvas outdoors and paint in a style known as Plein Air, which is French for painting in the open air. Learn how anyone can get started in capturing Southwest Floridas landscapes by taking a few classes, as well as observing professional artists while they work alfresco.
