4th Annual Thurmont Plein Air coming in September 2020
|
This event is one of several art events in Thurmont that is growing! The 4th Annual Thurmont Main Street Plein Air will be back in September 2020! the 3rd Annual Plein Air took us to four local wineries-what will be our subject this year?
So, what is exactly is plein air some may ask? If you love to paint or love to watch artists at work, then this event is for you! The practice of Plein Air goes back centuries, but was put into an art form by the French Impressionists during the mid-19th century. Their desire to paint by natural light, and not doing it indoors began the style to be performed outdoors- representing a direct response to the scene or subject by natural light. You may see plein air referred to as “en plein air” which is the French expression for “in the open air.” Artists such as Monet, Renoir, and Degas created notable works en plein air. Thurmont is the perfect location for plein air because of all the beauty of the natural resources, scenic landscapes, and fresh air! A fun event for artists of all abilities and a great art outing for spectators to watch and enjoy the judging.
