This is my paint-out calendar for myself and anyone who would like to join me. I call this group "Portland Urban Painters", just to give the calendar a name. This is a google calendar that includes locations, maps, and times I plan to paint..

Welcome to the plein air painting site of Brooks Hickerson

En plein air (French pronunciation: ​[ɑ̃ plɛn ɛʁ]) is a French expression which means "in the open air" and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. This site contains the  painting images and plein air painting process of Brooks Hickerson. Portland Oregon is the primary subject of my paintings.
