1. Plein Air Painting Set: Encourage his passion for plein air painting by gifting him a complete set of high-quality art supplies. Look for a portable easel, a set of brushes, paints, and a sturdy carrying case. This will enable him to capture the beauty of nature anywhere he goes.

2. Art Workshop or Class: Help him develop his artistic skills and deepen his love for landscape painting by enrolling him in an art workshop or class. Look for workshops that focus specifically on plein air painting techniques or those that explore different styles of landscape art.

3. Artist Retreat or Trip: Surprise him with a getaway to an inspiring location known for its natural beauty. Choose a destination that offers picturesque landscapes, such as coastal areas, mountains, or serene countryside.
