En plein air.

            En plein air.
Plein air painting dates back for centuries and it is the art form of leaving ones studio and going outdoors to undertake their craft by drawing or painting landscapes. 
It took the French impressionists to turn into a true art form due to their desire to capture light and its changing qualities.
En plein air art is so much simpler today as paint tubes and the box easel and other requirements are so much more transportable and thus it allows artists to venture outside the confines of their studios and capture a scene as it appears in front of them.
“En plein air” comes from the French which translates as “in the open air”
On the peak of the White Cliffs of Dover this en plein air artist is capturing on canvas the view he is witnessing which is the White Cliffs.
White Cliffs of Dover.
