What is an outdoor drawing?

I love the outdoors and I love drawing. I thought I’d share with you my go-to travel kit, for creating in nature. This is called ‘en plein air,’ which means quite literally ‘open-air’ or ‘outdoor’. It’s about drawing from life, outside in the world. En plein air is a French expression meaning “in the open air”, and refers to the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color and movement into their works.
