June 18-20: Sandpoint - Plein Air Paint Out The Art Dictionary defines en Plein Aire as French for plain air, or more literally, in open air, which is what you enjoy when painting outdoors like the Impressionists. Applied to landscape artists working directly from nature, it seems so natural these days, yet there was a time when the landscape was viewed as a hostile and dangerous place to be avoided. Leonardo urging artists to study nature with direct observation was revolutionary at the time, and all artists working outdoors owe him a debt of gratitude. 208 263-7748 email: info@timberstand.com
