What IS Plein Air Painting?
En plein air is a French expression meaning “in the open air”, and refers to the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color and movement into their works.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Join internationally renowned watercolor artist and founder of Blue Pine Arts, Trupti Karjinni, for a relaxed and inspiring plein air painting demonstration.
In this live outdoor session, Trupti will show how she captures the beauty of Alberta’s landscapes using her artisanal watercolor supplies — including handmade paper pads, paints, and sketchbooks crafted under her brand, Blue Pine Arts.
You’ll get a front-row view into how she paints on location using a compact, travel-friendly setup. Watch as she brings a scene to life with expressive washes, rich pigments, and elegant brushwork — all while sharing tips, stories, and insights into painting outdoors.
Whether you’re a seasoned plein air painter or just plein-curious, this is a rare chance to see professional watercolor materials in action and soak in the joy of painting outside.
Demo Focus:
Landscape painting with minimal tools
Embracing spontaneity and flow in watercolor
How to use handmade supplies for vibrant plein air results
No need to bring anything — just come, watch, and get inspired!
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Trupti Karjinni is a watercolor artist, educator, and founder of Blue Pine Arts — a line of handcrafted, professional-grade art supplies designed to take the frustration out of watercolor and help artists fall into flow. She’s taught over 45,000 students through her online classes and immersive watercolor retreats, guiding artists to paint with confidence, freedom, and a deep connection to the landscape.
Inspired by the Canadian Rockies she now calls home, Trupti’s expressive plein air paintings blend spontaneity with soul. In addition to teaching, she mentors artists and creatives who want to build thriving, burnout-free teaching businesses of their own.
