Description:
En plein air painting became popular for artists in the Nineteenth Century by the development of metal tubes to store oil paints and the synthesis of new colors by chemists. The use of commercially available paints in tubes freed artist from the choir of grinding their own pigments and mixing them with drying oils. New colors enlarged the painter’s pallet. Later, the production of acrylic paints gave new materials for the artist.
