The Studio's Art Challenge for this month is a Plein Air challenge. Plein air means that the art is done on site in the outdoors. The artist is painting from life, often quickly as light and weather changes occur rapidly. Because of this quick approach, plein air works often have a freshness and air of simplicity that is not seen in paintings worked on indoors from photos, sketches or still lifes. Our Challenge was put out to the public last month to make a piece of art or painting "en plein air". The only restriction was on size-no bigger than 16 x 20. The works will be on display tonight for First Friday at Upstairs Studio.
