I believe "in doing"...you can talk about things and ideas until you are blue in the face- but there is nothing like hands on experience ...I can tell you about a great recipe, or about anything at all, but like a recipe, until you actually taste it for real-it's only 1/2 the experience.
That's Plein Air to me- it's like a few hours in time that you are actually living inside of your own painting...you can hear the sounds, and smell the air, you feel the breeze, or the humidity, or rain drops. You look with your eyes, study every detail of what you see...you hold your brush and touch the soft paint and for a while you are one with your art...It makes me feel alive... that's Plein Air to me.
