The Plein Air Collection

Plein Air is a French word meaning "open air" or "outdoors." It is a method of painting based on setting up a portable easel outside and painting the surrounding scenery.

Thomas Kinkade's wondrous ability to illuminate a canvas is as evident here in his Impressionistic Plein Air works as it is in all of his studio paintings. Rarely does one artist have the talent to master more than one painting technique, as Thomas Kinkade has done.

As a longtime traveler, Thomas Kinkade has had the opportunity to capture the splendor of many breathtaking vistas with this impressionistic technique. This collection of Limited Edition works is a beautiful ensemble of Kinkade's Plein Air paintings from all around the world.

Impressionism Collection

In the romantic era of the nineteenth century, a group of young, dynamic French painters broke from the confines of classical traditions and defined a new style of emotional and colorful art. This movement became known as Impressionism and forever changed the world of fine art. In Thomas Kinkade's Impressionism Collection, we showcase two of Thom's beautiful impressionistic styles: French Impressionist Collection and Studio Impressions.

• French Impressionist Collection
  
  In Thomas Kinkade's French Impressionist Collection, we unveil a collection that exhibits Thom's mastery of impressionism, capturing the emotion and serene beauty of which Thomas Kinkade is known. It is in these paintings that the influence of the great French Impressionists is evident.
  
  
• Studio Impressions
  
  In Thomas Kinkade's Studio Impressions you will see the use of broad, energetic brush strokes and variations of color. This technique allows the eye to fuse the shapes, complete the painting, and discover what the artist experienced. Studio Impressions are similar to the Plein Air Collection in that they are painted on location but are unique because they are then brought back to the studio for final touch-ups.
