Play
 
The Ohio Statehouse welcomed dozens of talented Ohio artists to create paintings of Capitol Square using the plein air technique. Members of the Central Ohio Plein Air Society showcased their work and described what makes this style of painting unique.

En plein aire is a French expression which means "in the open air", and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors.
