Those plein air paintings are pretty cool despite the technical difficulties you mentioned. I had a Surface Pro2 for a short stint and tried the same thing but the screen glare was too much for me as well as being awful at digital and losing motivation. Had to return the Surface since it wasnt what I expected and was far too expensive to justify. I did have the idea afterwards though that instead of doing day plein air, digital could be used to do night time plein air. Granted that its a clear night with a nice bright moon to light up the environment or you could get some night vision goggles :D Im curious as well if you've done much traditional painting? It might be easier for doing plein air during the day. Sure, mixing paint is a drag if you're new to it but I'll bet you could get the hang of it quick if you stick with it for a bit.
