We are still digging out of 19" of snow here in NJ..  But our plans for spring are already developing.
  I am happy to announce that we already have some locations confirmed for Season 2 of Eric En Plein Air.  We are busy working on details while always incorporating educational art lessons into each episode.
  This will be a very busy spring and summer because I'll also be traveling around the US to plein air events while leaving the US in May to teach a week-long plein air workshop in the south of France (More info here).  I'm excited and can't wait to make some new friends!
  Thank you again to everyone who has supported our program and please remember we are always seeking location suggestions.  If you have a location suggestion, comment or feedback, please send us a message through our CONTACT PAGE.
  Stay warm and we can't wait to share more soon!

  We are currently planning our 2026 workshop schedule and are excited to share a WORKSHOPS page here on our website.  This page has a specific info request form that will allow you to share feedback/suggestions and be the first to know about upcoming workshops.
  Workshops are a great opportunity to come learn directly with Eric while sharing the experience as a group.  If you've always wanted to try painting 'en plein air' then this is a great opportunity to give it a try!

  I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year as 2026 is underway.  I am very excited to announce that we have begun planning Season 2 of Eric En Plein Air.  Season 1 will be airing before the summer, but TV requires that we stay ahead of the schedule by planning in advance.  Filming, production and editing takes a good amount of time so we're staying ahead of the curve.
  Since our program is weather dependent, winter is a good time to plan out our spring and summer filming schedule.  I have been reading some books, including The Garden Tourist's Mid-Atlantic, which has great location ideas.  Since Season 1 was filmed in the fall, we are also planning to revisit some locations in spring/summer to see how the areas seasonally change.
  With the budget in mind, we are still keeping it local, but we'll see if donations will allow us to travel farther and to do some overnight trips.  If you have location suggestions, please write to us via our CONTACT PAGE.  We are very thankful for your support!

  We're having some fun designing Eric En Plein Air ​T-shirts, mugs and other products.  What type of merchandise would you like to see?  Let us know!
