My comment:
(a) fine art (n): "art (as painting, sculpture, or music) concerned primarily with the creation of beautiful objects —usually used in plural"
(b) plein air (adj; French, open air): "of or relating to painting in outdoor daylight"

Note: Despite similar meaning originally, "alfresco" is used in a  different manner.

alfresco (adj, adv; Italian): "taking place or located in the open air: outdoor, outdoors <an alfresco lunch> <an alfresco café> <dining alfresco>"
(c) paint box

His sketch of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich (Rod is short for Rodney) can be found in picture #7.
(d) The article says "cameras generally aren't permitted in federal courts. Courts of each state have their own rules. In Massachusetts, judge of a trial court has discretion to allow it; even so it is usually a pooled camera (a camera man will take pictures to be used by all news media).
(e) The "mess" in the sentence "I drew her messing her with her hair with both hands": "to handle or play with something especially carelessly"
(f) Anna Chapman, by Christine Cornell of Reuters.
