About Yo<\/p>\n

My name is Yo R\u00fchmer and I was born in Darmstadt in 1970, where I studied communication design. After graduating in 1995, I worked as a freelancer for various advertising agencies. I have been a freelance illustrator since 1999. After initially only drawing for advertising agencies, I now illustrate more for book and magazine publishers. During this gradual change, my target group gradually became younger and younger, but I don’t see myself as a pure children’s and schoolbook illustratorAs a balance to my purely digital work as an illustrator, I have been painting ‘en plein air’<\/g> since 2012, i.e. outdoors<\/g>, mostly in nature, always with oil paints. I try to incorporate everything I learn about color moods and light into my digital painting style. <\/p>\n

In May 2020, my book<\/a><\/strong> about plein air painting, in which I have packed everything I have learned and with which I want to share my enthusiasm with as many people as possible to motivate them to paint outside too. Its in German, but you can purchase the Ebook and use a translator app for PDF reader.<\/p>\n

Since then I have also been giving plein air lessons<\/a>:<\/strong> I offer individual workshops, (also in English!) group day workshops through Boesner and week-long painting trips through Artistravel, last two only in Geman language.<\/p>\n

2021 Domestika published my Online Course Pleinair Oi Painting for Beginners.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I also maintain the website Pleinairmalerei.de. <\/a><\/strong>It’s a platform that I set up so that everyone who paints out here can present themselves, find each other, exchange ideas and network.<\/p>\n

In 2025, I had the great honour of having one of my plein air paintings, which I painted in Brittany, selected by the Royal Society of Marine Artists<\/a><\/strong> (RSMA) and hung in their exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London in September. Read more in my Blog post<\/a>.
Online Exhibition RSMA 2025 <\/a>(Bild Nr. 280)<\/p>\n

If you want to know more about me and my plein air painting:<\/p>\n

I was visited in my “studio” from the Kunstblog Mannheim while painting, you can read more (in German) here:
Kunstblog-Mannheim<\/a><\/p>\n

I was interviewed by Artistravel in German:
Instagram Interview<\/a><\/p>\n

And in English
from the podcast Painting Insights
YouTubeVideoPodcast<\/a><\/p>\n

and from BoldBrush:
YouTube interview<\/a><\/p>\n

I welcome feedback, commissions for illustrations, workshop inquiries and, of course, interest in buying my oil paintings!<\/p>\n
