What Is "Plein Air" Painting? The term "En Plein Air", is a French term that simply means "Outdoors". In the early 19th Century, it became possible for artists to move out of the studio and start painting outside.

It took so long to set up, and then the wind would blow my canvas over, or my palette would flip over, getting dirt in my paint. But the desire to keep painting outside kept beckoning me. I kept trying. It took years before I found a system that truly worked for me, and I couldn't be happier. Plein air painting has become a joy I would not

Plein air painting is a type of painting that is done outdoors. The word "Plein" comes from the French word for "open," and "air" refers to the outdoors. So, Plein air painting literally means "open-air painting." Plein air painting became popular in the mid-19th century when artists began to leave their studios and paint in natural light.

Interesting article! Lots of great plein air easels! Most of these set ups appear to be for "roadside" painting. I hike 2-3 miles, up and down hills, deep into the forest, to paint en plein air. There is a special vibrational frequency deep in the forest that I capture in the paintings.

I bought a piece of 1/4" thick plywood at my local hardware store for 15$, and cut it into a 10" x 14" block-- I basically mimicked the size of the Arches watercolor block I've been using for plein air work, so it packs easily. On the back, I cut an additional piece, about 4" x 14", and glued it to the big piece for reinforcement.

Quite simply, it translates to outdoors - so Plein Air means sketching outside. There are no right or wrong ways to do this: Typically you see people out with full easels and paint sets, set up for the day.
