This week we are in the majestic Matukituki Valley, New Zealand—one of my absolute favourite spots for plein air painting. Plein air is one of my favourite exercises as a landscape painter. Better plein air painting leads directly to better studio work. There is no better way to capture the feeling of a location than to be there amongst it, experiencing the landscape firsthand. If you are not painting plein air, I hope this video inspires you to get out amongst it and paint! I was joined by none other than New Zealand-based landscape painter Freeman White. His work is absolutely exceptional.
