I have been watching Turner Vinson's plein air YouTube videos. He is the most enjoyable plein air painter to watch because his approach is so direct and spontaneous. He smears, drips, and brushes color onto the canvas in a way that appears out of control and wild, but he is always studying his subject carefully. His marks are intentionally spontaneous, which is what makes him interesting to watch. Plus, he sometimes paints very large paintings outdoors, and the complexity and difficulty of carrying and managing canvases and supplies shows tremendous intention. He often uses very thick paint. I noticed that he uses the cheapest brands he can find, which is smart since he's using so much paint. See video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbZ5P-KyqRs
