Plein Air or Making Art<br />
“In the Open Air”<br />
Art. It’s not magic, it’s a process. It’s a skill<br />
that can be taught and observed in action.<br />
Wisconsin’s natural beauty sets the stage for<br />
our plein air artists who seek to capture all the<br />
great outdoors has to offer in real time, on location,<br />
where bug spray may be just as important<br />
as green paint and brushes.<br />
Want to know “how do they do that?” This is<br />
the time and place to learn from the experts.<br />
Generally lasting 3-5 days, plein air festivals<br />
welcome those who want to know more, and<br />
welcome your questions while letting you observe<br />
first-hand the mechanics and skill that<br />
are the building blocks of creative expression.<br />
Each year, the number of plein air events<br />
grows. Some are competitions where prize<br />
money is awarded, others are community fund<br />
raisers where arts enthusiasts can bid on fresh<br />
off the brush artwork. But always, it is the<br />
artist taking on nature rain or shine.<br />
We will set you on a path with some dates to<br />
mark on your calendar then hope you’ll tap into<br />
the Wisconsin Plein Air Painters Association’s<br />
website – http://wipapa.blogspot.com/ – where<br />
the latest events are listed. Who knows, you<br />
may even be inspired to join in the fun.<br />
