Plein air painting is the act of painting on site. This method of working was popularised by the Impressionists at the turn of last century and has recently seen a massive resurgence in the USA and Europe.

"Plein air painting is food for the soul. These studies painted in the field, often act as the initial foundations for larger more complex studio paintings. They become the physical memories of place and allow me to return to that place during the countless hours of studio time required for major works"
