Start Your Plein Air Journey in 2025!

Are you ready to take your art beyond the studio and into the great outdoors? Plein air painting—a term derived from the French phrase “en plein air,” meaning “in the open air”—is a practice that invites artists to capture the natural world in real-time. It’s a unique opportunity to experience the changing light, vivid colors, and dynamic landscapes that only nature can provide.

The 2025 Plein Air Events are just around the corner, and we’re thrilled to invite you to join us for a series of inspiring sessions hosted by established Newfoundland artists. Whether you're a seasoned painter or just starting out, these events promise to be enriching, educational, and full of creative camaraderie.

Here’s why you should get excited:

• Mentorship from the Masters: Learn techniques, tips, and insights from accomplished Newfoundland artists who will guide you every step of the way.

• Breathtaking Locations: Immerse yourself in some of Newfoundland’s most scenic spots, from rugged coastlines to serene forests.

• No Cost, All Fun: Thanks to grant funding, these events are free for members of our art association and non-members are also welcome to attend.

• Community and Connection: Share your passion with fellow artists, make new friends, and become part of a vibrant, supportive art community.

What to Expect

Each plein air session will combine hands-on guidance, time to paint, and opportunities to learn new approaches to capturing outdoor scenes. Whether you're painting with watercolors, oils, or acrylics, or just sketching with pencils, all mediums are welcome.
