Painting En Plein Air
With Sebastian Thommen
"For years, I found it difficult painting outside. I didn't want people to see me or my art. I was embarrassed and self-conscious.
It wasn't until I started researching the masters that I realized that I was missing out.
Big Time.
Do you think Turner copied from photographs?
Why do you think he was so good? He painted outside.
They all did. Even today's masters.
So that gave me a kick up the ass, I honed in on getting the right kit, the right attitude, and then... my art improved dramatically.
Of course, I was still insecure. That doesn't really go away to be honest, but I started to find places to paint where I wouldn't be disturbed.
And it gets addictive. Magic happens. And it eventually feels weird to paint inside!
But I didn't just get better at painting. My mind got better too, and I became more positive in general and good things started to happen.
Painting outside makes you better at painting, but it also gives you peace, for sure.
And if the weather is shit (I live in Ireland), then I paint in my car or in a café!
It's all good. Really good.
And you can go ANYWHERE with it.
Plein Air Painting is the ultimate healing companion and can improve your life too.
Let me show you how."

In this one-time payment, a 8-lesson video course I teach my method:
"Capturing Magic in a Sketchbook, and Releasing onto the Page"
En Plein Air (painting outside) super-drove my watercolor technique and made me the painter that I am today. I wish I had known the benefits and the "how to" when I started.
But I'm happy to show you, now. So if you're serious about improving, then this course is for you.
"Sebastian’s class was an excellent experience for me. I am experienced with watercolor but found new techniques to add to my arsenal. His explanations were clear, his demonstrations easy to follow. I especially enjoyed him going from a Plein Air sketch to a studio painting, teaching all the techniques along the way. I would not hesitate to take another class from Sebastian."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
These are the most common questions asked about the Plein Air course.
Is it different from the intro course?
Yes, this is the second follow-on course. Not only am I showing you the right materials and gear for strictly painting outside, but I'm also showing you my sketchbook method that helps simplify complicated and overwhelming scenes.
How long is it?
Not very long. It's actually a course that you can finish! There are 8 videos amounting to around 2 hours watch time. Of course, the actual practical time will add to that, depending on you. Then the Watercolor Live video is around an hour and 15 minutes long. Hundreds of students have painted along easily to it.
Do I need Wi-Fi to watch the course?
Yes, as I don't want people to illegally download and share, it is Wi-Fi only.
Will Sebastian be free to critique?
As he leads a busy life with his family, he is always looking for time to be outside and painting, saving his critiques for his mentorships and live workshops and retreats. But having said that, he often pops into the Freedom With Watercolor Facebook page to check out people's work from the course!
