The preparation for the Plein air painting festival!Plein air painting, a French term meaning "open air," emphasizes painting outdoors, directly from nature. This approach allows artists to immerse themselves in the landscape, experiencing the changing light, colors, and atmosphere firsthand. The festival celebrates this tradition, encouraging participants to create art that reflects the true essence of their surroundings. Family and friends will walk through the festival, watching artists work and having conversations about techniques and inspiration. In particular, children can participate in kid-friendly drawing activities. I am also thinking of taking my child. So we are very busy preparing for it now. Since you have to participate with your child, there are more factors to consider. Since you will be painting outdoors for a long time, a small parasol, sunscreen, and a hat to block direct sunlight are essential. I also plan to bring extra water and a simple sandwich. The Plein Air Painting Festival has deep meaning to our community. This is more than an art event. It is a celebration of our natural heritage and a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us every day. Through outdoor paintings, artists call attention to landscapes we might otherwise overlook and emphasize the need to preserve and cherish these spaces. The festival also highlights the importance of art in everyday life. This shows how artistic expression can bring people together and foster a shared appreciation of art and nature. Each painting created during the festival becomes a testament to the artist's relationship with the environment, capturing fleeting moments of beauty and translating them into lasting works of art. After the festival, the painted works will be displayed at Reboli Center, a local gallery. As an artist, this is my first time participating in this event. After much thought, I decided to paint with watercolor rather than acrylic or oil. This is because you don't have much time to focus because you have to participate in something like a picnic with your child. I am well aware of the appeal of watercolor as a medium that allows you to draw quickly in the limited time you have. So I'm going to go with my favorite watercolor paints. I will first install the 4-person camping table below on the lawn. My child and the student assisting my child will be drawing together here. Preparing for outdoor painting requires thoughtful planning, the right equipment, and an open-minded attitude. By choosing an inspiring location, gathering essential supplies, and organizing your session efficiently, you can fully enjoy the unique and rewarding experience of creating art outdoors. And I'm going to unfold a small camping table and draw on it. My art supplies will go on top of this and I plan on putting a stand easel next to it. The size of the picture is limited by specifications. The drawing must not exceed 18 times 24 inches. I plan to draw as small a picture as possible.
In addition, I plan to bring medicine to repel ticks and mosquitoes. After the event tomorrow I will post a review. Perhaps more supplies will be added after the event. I am happy to share this experience here. If possible, I hope to meet as many fellow local artists and have the opportunity to see and discuss their work.
