Poetic Landscape
with Barbara Jaenicke, OPA, AIS, PSA-MP, IAPS-EP
Wednesday, July 15th through Friday, July 17th
9 am to 4 pm
Workshop Information
This is Barbara’s basic workshop that she often teaches when she’s new to a particular teaching venue. This workshop is a broad overview of her approach to painting and covers value, color temperature, chroma, composition, editing, and mark making. This is typically the only workshop in which Barbara covers mark marking with specific exercises for students to complete…many artists who have heard of these workshops know them as “count the stroke” exercises…very fun/very challenging!

About Barbara
Barbara Courtney Jaenicke (pronounced JAN-i-kee) loved drawing and painting as a child, but she can’t really say that there was any teacher or family member who identified her as a particularly gifted artist at a young age. It was simply stubborn determination beginning in her early teen years that launched her artistic journey. Her grandmother was an accomplished oil painter, and although she didn’t directly encourage Barbara to follow in her footsteps, Barbara’s childhood was surrounded by her beautiful paintings.
Working in oil and pastel, Barbara strives to capture light-filled landscapes in a painterly, impressionist style. Although most of her work is completed in the studio, a steady practice of plein air (outdoor) painting enhances her ability to create a genuine impression of light in her landscape paintings. She holds signature memberships in Oil Painters of America (OPA) and American Impressionist Society (AIS), and has earned the distinctions of Master Pastelist in the Pastel Society of America (PSA) and Eminent Pastelist in the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS).
Her award highlights include Plein Air Magazine’s Plein Air Salon Annual (year-end) Finalist each year from 2023 through 2026 and Honorable Mention in 2025, and numerous wins over the years in this monthly competition; Pastel Magazine’s Pastel 100 Grand Prize in 2025 and 2nd Place overall in 2022, with numerous other wins throughout the years in this annual competition; Silver Medal in the 2019 OPA Western Regional Juried Exhibition; 2nd Place in the 2018 AIS National Juried Show as well as the People’s Choice award in 2014.
She has been featured in numerous art publications including Plein Air Magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur, Artists Magazine, Pastel Journal, and Southwest Art, and has served as a contributing writer for some of these publications.
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.
