Plein air painting is the practice of creating a painting outdoors, directly from the subject, in natural light. The term, derived from the French phrase “en plein air,” emphasizes capturing the essence of a scene or subject while immersed in the actual environment. This approach allows artists to work with real-time light, color, and atmosphere, which can be challenging to replicate in a studio setting.
