Plein air painting, 2021, oil on canvas, 25x30cm

"Plein air" is a French term that translates to "in the open air." In art, the term refers to the practice of painting outdoors, directly in front of the subject, rather than in a studio. Plein air painting allows artists to capture nature or urban scenes in their immediate surroundings and to depict impressions of light, color, and atmosphere directly on location.

Plein air painting often requires a swift working pace as outdoor conditions can be variable. Artists must adapt and respond spontaneously to their environment. This form of painting frequently emphasizes the relationship between the artist, nature, and light.Pleinairpainting with oil on canvas. Warm summer day in Berlin-Charlottenburg
