Plein air is a social outing, as well as a method to improve landscape painting, photographing subjects, and learning quick draw of people's movements or gestures. Learning correct values from life can only help you to enhance your skills.

And the best part? Having "buddy" groups in the vicinity means safety. You have someone else around, people to sit and have lunch with, and new friends to bounce off ideas on composition or casual a critique.
