Barbara Jaenicke, OPA, AIS, PSA, IAPS-EP
3-Day Studio Workshop for Oil & Pastel with Barbara Jaenicke
May 25-27, 2027   $425.00
9:30-4:30 (with lunch break)

Description:
Once you learn landscape painting basics, it’s time to learn how to add the poetry. Barbara’s goal is to
equip you with skills that will move you beyond merely replicating landscape subjects, to conveying a
distinct, poetic visual message that strikes an emotional chord with the viewer.

Skills covered include composition, editing, value structure, color temperature, chroma, and edge
control. Barbara will also address how to make every stroke count, considering the mark-making
particulars of how you apply pigment to surface.

Each day begins with a demonstration followed by students working on a painting exercise for the
remainder of the day, while receiving plenty of individual help at the easel. Her demos will include both
oil and pastel equally. Students may work in oil or pastel, or alternate between both, and may work
from their own photos or instructor provided photos.
This workshop is open to all levels, although artists with at least some basic landscape painting
experience will benefit most.

Barbara Jaenicke’s artistic journey was launched in her early teens. Not realizing that a career in fine art
could be a possibility, she steered her college studies toward Advertising, Graphic Design, and
Marketing. She was an advertising art director in her first career, then a corporate marketing
communications manager years later. In 2002, she was able to turn her focus to a fine art career,
pursuing it full steam ahead.

BIO
Working in oil and pastel, Barbara strives to capture light-filled landscapes in an impressionist, painterly
style. Although her finished work is painted primarily in the studio, a steady practice of painting
outdoors enables her to create a genuine sense of light in her studio work.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Barbara also lived in Atlanta, Georgia for many years until she yearned
for snow and mountains for her landscape subject matter, which prompted her family’s move to Bend,
Oregon in 2015. 

Her award highlights include numerous wins in national juried exhibitions such as Oil Painters of
America, American Impressionist Society, Pastel Society of America, International Associations of Pastel
Societies, Plein Air Magazine’s Plein Air Salon, Modern Impressionist Magazine’s Salon, and Pastel
Journal’s Pastel 100.

She has been featured in numerous art publications including Plein Air Magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur,
Artists Magazine, Southwest Art, and Pastel Journal, and has served as a contributing writer for some of
these publications.

Barbara is also a popular workshop instructor throughout the US, teaching workshops coast to coast
each year, and offers an array of instructional materials, including a book and videos. Learn more about
