Filmed in the proposed Scotchman Peaks Wilderness, the documentary, 'en Plein Air', captures the experiences of artists during a 5 day trek through the mountains.

Plein Air art is known as landscape paintings that are physically created 'in the open air' rather than painted indoors based on a sketch or photo. This film delves into the personal interpretations of the Plein Air concept by water-color painters, an author and us as the creators of this documentary.

Complete film to be released Fall 2010.
