ABOUT PLEIN AIR
En plein air or plein air painting, is the act of painting outdoors. Before the 19th century, artists had mixed their own paints from raw pigments that they often ground themselves from a variety of media.
This had made for inconvenient portability and kept most painting activities confined to the studio.
This changed in the 1800s when tubes of oil paint became available, and thus en plein air was born.
A small group of plein air painters called “The Group" meet on Mondays in various locations around northwest Ohio to paint.
They focus on natural elements and the changing landscapes in all seasons.
