PleinScout, in brief.

Short description

PleinScout is a mobile app that helps plein air painters and urban sketchers find good outdoor spots, time the light, and find paint-outs nearby. Painters share spots with the details that matter (parking, the walk in, shade, restrooms) and post the work they made there.
