Artists capture a moment in time, telling a story with a brush, paint, ink and pencil to interpret what they see around them.

En Plein Air Perth (EPAP) was founded in late 2016 by three local Perth artists. En Plein Air painting is the act of painting outdoors and is characterised by artworks completed while outside in the environment.

A Creative Collaboration – in the Open Air

11 En Plein Air Perth artists, 6 full sheets of watercolour paper, palettes of paints and a mix of brushes, stepped up on a chilly early morning at the Victoria Park foreshore of the Derbal Yerrigan, on the land of the Whadjuk Noongar people and applied their watercolours to create a panorama.  Rotating every few minutes, each artist, followed on from the previous, to bring their vision to the art work.  An experiment in cooperation and collaboration.
