A GUIDE TO PLEIN AIR PAINTING
FREE 40-page E-Book
Every painter who works from observation knows how important outdoor painting is. Painting on location exposes you to the perfect natural harmony of colors and values that digital cameras aren’t capable of capturing. The true beauty of nature can only be seen through our eyes.

In this FREE guide, I will share my approach to plein air painting and talk about what works and doesn’t work for me in the field. I’ll tell you a couple of stories from my painting trips and give you some useful tips that may help you in your plein air adventures.

      Hi, I am Lena Rivo! I am a professional painter who teaches enthusiastic artists how to capture the beauty of the subjects that inspire them.

      I help my students convey the illusion of light and atmosphere in their paintings and get the most from the colors on their palette. The fundamental principles that I teach are universal and can be applied to any painting medium be it oil, acrylics, soft pastels, watercolor or gouache.

      Having used gouache for several years now, it has gradually become my favorite painting medium. Its vibrant, deep and solid colors give me full freedom to capture the beauty of nature.
