Plein Air is a booming movement.  We are going outside to paint on small panels in oils or acrylic, your choice. Using a limited palette at first then expanding to more colors. We will analyze which direction the light is coming from and how far are objects in the distance in your painting. We will look at plein air magazines to decipher current trends in plein air painting.
