Painting can feel intimidating. Not here.
Plein Air Adventures is currently in development. We’re preparing a limited pilot in 2026.
Plein Air Adventures is being developed to make painting outdoors feel easier, more open, and more enjoyable. A response to the practical and emotional barriers that often surround plein air painting—from equipment and logistics to confidence and experience.
We’ve encountered those barriers ourselves and are working to remove them. We’re making painting accessible for anyone who’s curious, whether or not you consider yourself an artist.
There are no group lessons and no expectations. You book your own adventure and head out on your own terms, with the option of suggested locations or the freedom to explore wherever you like. It’s simply a chance to be outside, play with paint, and enjoy the process.
No pressure. No performance. Just time, space, and a fresh way to explore, play, and create.

Our adventures are meant to be enjoyed outdoors, so weather is part of the experience. Light rain or overcast skies can add atmosphere—but for safety, outings may be postponed in extreme conditions like thunderstorms or strong winds.
If the weather isn’t ideal, you can reschedule within 1 month at no extra cost. Refunds are only available if we cancel due to unsafe conditions. Otherwise, it’s all about stepping outside, playing with paint, and enjoying the fresh air.
