PleinAir Magazine

Painting from nature out-of-doors “en plein air” and painting from life is the foundation of all painting throughout the history of art. Today tens-of-thousands of artists and collectors have joined a new plein air movement, which you can follow in the new Plein Air Magazine. Rooted in deep history each quarterly issue, edited by Stephen Doherty, chronicles today’s master artists, their techniques, events and the collectors who follow them as well as the historic artists who came before them.
