Dude, I _finally_ after many years of seeing the term, looked up what "plein air painting" is.
It's just painting outdoors! It thought it must have to do with some odd technique or material from a company named Plein, and couldn't figure out what "air" had to do with painting that wasn't an airbrush.
(I say "just"... I get there's a whole philosophy around how painting in the environment is different from painting from a photograph, etc.)
