Plein air painting is the art of capturing outdoor scenes from life. Named from the French for “open air,” this form of painting from life moves artists out of the studio to study real landscapes, focusing on how light and shadow interact with things in particular places. The result is a snapshot of a moment in time, one that might be remembered, but never repeated.
Explore the exhibition Moments of Memory: Minnesota Landscapes Painted from Life with Kami Mendik, a plein air painter and member of the Minnesota Plein Air Collective. Mendik is a founder of the St Croix River school of painting, and has recently published a book called Color Relativity. Her tour will focus on the principles of painting she teaches.
Explore the exhibition Moments of Memory: Minnesota Landscapes Painted from Life with Frederick Somers, an internationally acclaimed pastel and oil painter and exhibiting member of Minnesota Plein Air Collective. Somers will discuss his inspiration and technique.
