En Plein Air Painting in the Cummer Garden





En plein air (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ plɛn‿ɛʁ]) is a French expression which means "in the open air", and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors, which is also called peinture sur le motif ("painting on the ground") in French.


Students ages 6 - 12 years old took part in an exciting garden tour then painted plein air, or in open air in the Cummer Museum Garden honoring the annual celebration of Garden Week! What a glorious day it was!

  1. Could you change the font you used on this post? It looks like a Webdings font and I can't read it :(
