Brush With Nature   TM 

Anatomically Correct's Brush with Nature is a Plein Art Painting program that brings artists, art students and visitors together with nature in an outdoor setting.  Events are held in forest preserves, nature centers, parks, zoos, beaches and private gardens.    

"En plein air" is a French expression which means "in the open air", and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors, which is also called peinture sur le motif ("painting on the ground") in French.
