"The work of life"
Working with life is a practice deeply rooted in the artistic tradition, even before the discovery of photography, projectors and other technologies.
It is usually used to work with the object in front of you, be it a landscape, interior, still life or person.
No photos, no samples, no projection screens. The artist must measure the object and judge the meaning of color with his eyes: the experience and skills he has acquired throughout his life.
Conclusion - This mainly applies to:
- Develop your skills by saving many lives
- Then, believe your eye, "Draw and draw what is in front of you."
Practice is very helpful in developing skills. Some artists usually think of keeping sketchbooks and drawing something from everyday life.

Exterior painting
"En plein air" is a French word. It is often used to describe street paintings away from the studio. Dedicated artists continue to paint in any weather.

Sometimes it is used as an insult to represent nature, the natural world.
Originally developed during the 19th century. The practice of "on the spot" landscape drawing became possible with the development of technology, which allowed artists to use tube paint instead of bladder paint.
