WELCOME

ART IN THE OPEN, the Irish plein air painters' website, a forum and resource for artists who are interested in painting outdoors.

We arrange regular ‘Paint Outs’ in the South East and elsewhere. Artists who paint and draw out in the landscape or would like to try are welcome to join us at a Paint Out. For information about our Paint Out schedule for 2009 check the Paint Out Page.

Ireland’s plein air painting festival, Art in the Open 2009 was held in Wexford again this year during the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Join the Forum where you can post notices about other paint outs or suggest good locations, discuss plein air topics, find other artists who like to work outdoors in your area etc.

Painting 'en plein air' is simply landscape painting outdoors, not in the studio but directly from life. More on plein air painting, practical tips, what to bring etc., here.
