Join us for an artful picnic in nature around Los Angeles.

“…Plein Air drawing or painting refers to the French phrase “en plein air” which mean “out in the open air.” It simply means doing observation drawings or paintings outside. The Impressionist painters of the late 1800’s loved to paint outdoors because the light would change and create different scenes.”
