Description:

Plein air painting is an extraordinary thing. We go outdoors, set up an easel, palette, and other tools and then attempt to capture the scene before us on a canvas. Plein air painters appreciate the subtleties of light, values, edges, color and movement that can only be experienced directly by “being there”. They hope to breathe the reality of this direct experience into each painting. The paintings in this book are a combination of plein air and studio paintings created by the members of PAPW. 100 color images
