Talking About En Plein Air!

Lavender Art Studios is celebrating the spirit of plein air painting this weekend, with Greg teaching high on the sweeping plains of the Snowy Mountains — a truly breathtaking and inspiring place to be. The landscapes we are capturing are majestic in every sense, and the artists stepping forward show a remarkable commitment to their craft. The natural environment, generously made available by Devenny-Mackay, offers an atmospheric experience that words can scarcely capture. Some of this beauty is reflected in the photos below.

Plein air painting holds a deep and storied connection to the Snowy region of New South Wales. Since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, artists like Elioth Gruner and Hilda Rix Nicholas sought to capture the unique light, the rugged plains, and the commanding vistas of Australia’s high country. Influenced by the broader Impressionist movement and the Australian Heidelberg School, painters in this region developed a profound tradition of working directly from life, embracing the rawness and grandeur of the natural landscape.

Today, Lavender Art Studios continues this proud tradition, offering artists a rare opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the untamed beauty of the alpine environment. For those seeking an authentic, deeply rooted plein air experience, Lavender Art Studios is truly the place to find it.
