Hi, unfortunately can't draw, can't paint. There used to be a lady painter on here who did beautiful work, always loved looking at it. Would love to see some of your work but could you explain what is a "Plein Air Painting".

I can't draw either but would love to .. might try some dot painting ..
En plein air (French pronunciation: [ pln ]), or plein air painting, is a phrase borrowed from the French equivalent meaning "open (in full) air". It is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors, also calledFrench: peinture sur le motif ("painting of the object(s) or what the eye actually sees"), where a painter reproduces the actual visual conditions seen at the time of the painting. This method contrasts with studio painting or academic rules; those might create a predetermined look. En plein air can also be used to describe other activities where a person partakes in an outdoor environment

Hi! Yes to your question, though certainly not with your experience...but perhaps your age! I only started painting a few years ago and plein air in earnest this year. Tried a couple of years ago with water color and then acrylic but with not a lot of success. All too tight, and too paintily for me. Now use oil and whole new ball game. And you?
