A course by Yo Rühmer
Yo Rühmer is an illustrator and artist who works with advertising agencies and publishing houses, collaborating primarily on children's books and textbooks. After working in front of a computer for several years, she started searching for a way to express her creativity that didn't involve deadlines. That's how she discovered her passion for plein air oil painting, an activity she likes to share with others whenever she can. She has taught multiple workshops on the subject and encourages her followers to paint outdoors through her Instagram account and her book Mal einfach draußen!
While many people have a misguided conception about oil painting and consider it to be a complex discipline that's difficult to learn, she views it as a free-form technique that allows her to enjoy the creative process without the need for perfection. What she loves most is that it puts her in the here and now and gives her the opportunity to experience her surroundings with all five senses. Through plein air painting, Yo has learned a great deal about light and color, which she always incorporates into her illustrations.
