Okay what is Plein Aire? Wikipedia describes it thusly " is a French expression which means "in the open air," and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. I'm pushing the definition a little, a number of these paintings are studio creations of outdoor scenes, but many are done right on location "alla Prima.." meaning done in complete, on site. This Ala Prima lends itself to much more spontanity and expression. Although maybe a little looser, it captures an essence of painting right on site. On the bottom of this page are vacation sketches done on location for you to enjoy. For the sake of minimal carry on during travel, I do my studies in water color and pen, creating a whole different style of work. For sapring summer and Fall, I will be teaching a foundation in Plein Aire Painting classes (as well as still life and portraits) with the South Shore Art Center. These classes will be held on location at various sites around the Spuith Shore. It's an excellent learning experience to capture the nuances of outdoor painting. For further information or to register, link onto: http://www.ssac.org/adultcourses.asp I hope you can join me on this rewarding painting experience.
