Painting en plein air allows artists to directly observe and capture the colors, lighting, and atmosphere of the outdoor environment, creating a more immediate and authentic representation of the scene. Art Institutions and Studios: Some painters work in art institutions, universities, or art schools, either as instructors or artists-in-residence. They may have access to specialized facilities, such as painting studios, printmaking studios, or workshops, where they can create, teach, and collaborate with other artists and students.
