A Chronicle of Abduction & Adventure Painting

Painting outside is called Plein Air Painting.

En plein air (pronounced [ɑ̃ plɛ.n‿ɛʁ]; French for 'outdoors'), or plein-air [1] painting, is the act of painting outdoors.

The opposite of this is being tucked securely and comfortably into one’s studio with a cup of hot steamy cream-infused tea and painting from a photo.

I’m not particularly eager to use the term Plein Air as it feels stuffy and intimidating, and many people stumble over the pronunciation, myself included.
