How to Paint a Landscape in Three Different Mediums by Anita HartCarrollPainting the same scene three different times using a different medium on each painting can be very enlightening and a lot of fun! In our article at VeryCreate.com, I explore using pastel, acrylic and watercolor to paint a distinctive landscape of Vantage, Washington on the Columbia River. I share what I learned and what I would do differently the next time I paint the scene. The goal of the experiment was to see how different each medium handled the same subject and if the final results were unique enough for me to pick a favorite standout. The knowledge I gained by completing the three paintings really surprised me! In the acrylic painting, I blew up the scale and went for high drama on canvas. Using thin layers of paint and glazes, I was able to adjust the value planes and colors until I arrived at the point where I was happy with the final painting. In this version it was easier to really pop the colors in the shadows on the cliffs and on the roadway.  Acrylic Painting With pastel, I reduced the scale to a manageable 11 x 17 inches and went for juicy vibrant pastel sticks that I typically don’t use very often. This painting was the fastest and most intuitive.  Pastel Painting The watercolor painting was painted with the most direct approach and was painted in about 45 minutes. I think it will make a terrific large watercolor but by doing the smaller study, I definitely learned what I will do differently when that time comes. Not only is this a great time saver, but it is like being your own masterclass teacher! I basically worked out all the buggaboos before committing to a full size sheet of expensive watercolor paper.  Watercolor Painting Having tackled the same subject three different ways gave me insights and experience that could only have come from my experiment! I will use this knowledge each time I approach a landscape painting and file these tidbits away as golden nuggets. https://verycreate.com/one-landscape-painted-with-3-different-mediums-demonstration/ By Southern Oregon Artists Resource, 2007 contributed posts

 Coastal scene by Linda Meerten. Image provided by the artist Photographer Linda Meerten loves the beauty that surrounds us and tries to show that in her work. As an opportunistic photographer she is seldom without her camera for stopping along the roadside to capture what she sees. She lives in the mountains of Southern Oregon where wildlife and scenery is abundant. Also a sculptor and oil painter, Linda studied art and art history in Europe. Born in the Netherlands, Linda came to America as an infant and proudly became an American citizen in 2013 at a swearing-in ceremony held at Crater Lake National Park, part of a special event held across the country. She loves hiking the many trails in the area, fishing the Rogue River and spending time with family.

About the author: Hanley Farm-Painting by Debby Fisher showing at Art du Jour. Image proved by artist. Art du Jour Gallery, 213 E. Main Street in Medford, will be presenting Ruth Heath as featured artist, and Debby Fisher continues to have her stunning display as the guest artist exhibit in the Salon. We will also be announcing the winner of our People’s Choice “Furry and Feathery Friends” contest with the top vote getter on display through the month of November. Ruth Heath featured artist for NovemberRuth Heath began painting at 22 after purchasing some Walter Foster instruction books. After moving to Medford with her family from Southern California she found this to be an inspiring place to live, and began painting with watercolors, acrylics and pastels.  Ruth Heath’s art exhibit at Art du Jour is the inspiration of her travels through Europe. Image provided by the artist. Her suggestion to new painters is start with pencil sketching or painting with one color and gradually add more. She writes, “As you practice more you will see the things around you in a different light and you will improve. Learn the basics, so your masterpieces will stand the test of time, then be brave and try something different. There are many excellent art teachers in this area and U tube has countless instruction videos.” Ruth has had the good fortune to have traveled to England, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Greece, Israel and Egypt with family and friends. As a result her artwork often depicts unique architecture, castles, quaint villages and cottages. Though she has also traveled extensively through the United States, Canada and Mexico, this display on our featured wall is primarily European street scenes, windows and doorways. Ruth is an honorary member of the Southern Oregon Society of Artists and a charter member of Art du Jour Gallery. Debby Fisher guest artist through NovemberDebby Fisher received her art education from many venues majoring in art education at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, studying drawing at Virginia Commonwealth University, and a plethora of workshops along life’s journey. In the mid 90’s, after settling in Oregon with her family, Debby studied commercial art with Semyon Bilmes, who now leads Atelier Maui. After a time in the illustration business, she was drawn back to oil painting through the work of great artists such as Michael Dudash and Chris Hopkins, who she had the privilege of connecting with and learning from through the Masterpiece Christian Artists Conferences. Now doing commissioned pieces and gallery paintings that reflect the beauty God surrounds us with every day, her work is in many private collections across the country.  Thunderhead- Painting by Debby Fisher at Art du Jour Gallery. Image provided by artist. Debby says, “When I was about 10 years old, I attended my first oil painting class which took place in a little classroom behind a butcher shop in Pittsburgh, PA, and I’ve loved the smell of oils ever since! I like to paint many genres, as you’ll see in this Salon exhibit, from pumpkins to barns to musicians!” Third Friday NovemberJoin us for our Third Friday reception 11/16, 5:00-8:00 pm. We are now accepting applications for artists who would like to join our cooperative and display their work to the Medford community. Contact the gallery by email at [email protected] for more information. By Southern Oregon Artists Resource, 2007 contributed posts
