Our class continues to mix and mingle different colors together to see which are the best combinations. I showed how to make fun color chickens where you start at the head of the chicken with one color and then switch to a different color at the body. The goal is to have blended and mingled colors in the body part of the chicken using two different colors.<br />
The younger students got very creative and started painting other animals like color horses and bunnies!<br />

Hi, My name is Jacqueline Newbold and I am one of the members of the High Desert Art League. I just started teaching my <i>All About Color</i> class in my Tumalo Art Studio. We are learning how to use the colors on our watercolor palettes and the color wheel to create harmonious paintings. Since I am a color artist this is always one of my favorite classes to teach!<br />
I would like to share with you some ideas over the next few weeks on how you can learn to get to know the colors on your palette and use the more effectively. <br />
Here is my first suggestion - Make a painted color swatch of each of the colors on your palette. Label them with the manufacturer's name, the pigment number and the light fastness. Color charts are fun and relaxing to do!<br />
1. For the manufacture's name, I use abbreviations such as DS for Daniel Smith and WN for Winsor Newton.<br />
2. The pigment number can be found on the tube and also can be found on art supply web sites. For <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/items/00319-7892/#colorpigments" target="_blank">Winsor Green, Blue Shade</a>, the pigment color is PG37. I love to collect this information because as it turns out, Winsor Green, Blue Shade is the same pigment as <a href="http://www.danielsmith.com/Item--i-284-600-078-LIST" target="_blank">Daniel Smith's Phthalo Green, Blue Shade.</a> I don't need them both on my palette. <br />
3. Light Fastness. This will tell you how permanent the pigment color is and it's resistance to fade or change over time. <br />
Here are some photos of our class working on their color charts. <br />

We had two wonderful guides, Jose and Cristina. This Portuguese couple made our experience in Portugal so special. They love their country and it shows! Here are the intrepid bikers:<br />

We rode during the day, and stayed in wonderful inns, restored convents, or B&Bs at night. <a href="http://www.newboldart.com/" target="_blank">Jacqueline Newbold</a> and I worked on our journals nearly every day, even on the bike trip. I love travelling with Jacqueline. She doesn't ever feel self-conscious about sitting down in public and painting, and she is never too tired before turning in to work on her journal.</div>

We flew to Lisbon, Portugal and at once noticed the differences in color. Many of the buildings downtown are covered with beautiful Portuguese tile. If not tile, they are covered in white, which we learned later is marble powder; a by-product from the marble quarries which they paint on like a whitewash. Still painting, <a href="http://highdesertartleague.com/" target="_blank">High Desert Art League</a> members, Jacqueline Newbold and I (Helen Brown) sat in cafés or up by the castle and sketch with watercolor.<br />

Sarlat-le-Caneda, a wonderful town in the Dordogne region of France. We stayed
in a hotel within the walled “old town” of Sarlat. The weather wasn’t great,
but we couldn’t have been happier painting, eating foie gras, shopping and
driving to the local sights (Lascaux caves, Castelnaud, Beynac, Roc le Gageac).</span></div>

It is my turn <i>(Helen Brown)</i> to blog for the <a href="http://www.highdesertartleague.com/" target="_blank">High Desert Art League</a>, so I thought I'd piggy back on some of Jacqueline's enthusiasm for travel and painting! I do love traveling with my husband, but he doesn't paint. And as patient and supportive as he is, I hate to keep him waiting on trips while I sit and paint. So traveling with another painter as I did on this trip was a very fun change of pace and one I highly recommend!!<br />
I worked mostly in my little accordian fold sketchbook (see photo), while Jacqueline was enjoying creating wonderful postcards to send home to friends and family.<br />

After three days in Ciboure, the little town near St. Jean de Luz (which is near Biarritz), we were sorry to say goodbye to Agnes. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the region made this portion of the trip a real highlight for Jacqueline and me. She was a generous and incredibly hospitable host! A great ambassador for the French people. And my very good friend!</div>

Next on our journey, Helen, our friend, Agnes and I went to Spain for happy hour. Agnes drove us to the tiny French border town, Hendaye, deep in Basque country. Here we caught a ferry for 5 euros that took us on a very short ride into Spain. We arrived in time to walk around the charming town of Fonterrabia, complete with cobble stone streets and a beautiful church at the top of a hill. As the sun set, we drank sangria in the old town square, painting in our journals. I loved all the different colored doors in the old town square. I also loved that we could buy a drink of sangria and the bar didn't mind that we took it out into the square where we were sitting, drinking and painting and enjoying the church bells ringing as the setting sunlight glowed in the town square.<br />

Helen and I traveled to France, Spain and Portugal to paint and do a bike tour. We took our watercolor art journals along with us and found fun places to relax and paint. One of our first stops was Saint Jean-du-Luz, a cute fishing village in the southwestern part of France. This area is known for it's Basque influence, sea food and beautiful sandy beaches. We painted postcards to send home to family and friends.<br />

But in addition to the social happenings, there is some really good art to see! Here is what I would do.....<br />
<br />
4pm- TUMALO ART CO.<br />
Start in Bend's Old Mill District. The Tumalo Art Company starts Art Walk at 4pm. Parking is easy! In July, Annie Ferder's incredible watercolors are in a display called "East Meets West." See <a href="http://tumaloartco.com/">tumaloartco.com</a>. Also featured at this gallery are High Desert Art League members, Helen Brown and David Kinker and many other unique and talented artists. See <a href="http://highdesertartleague.com/">highdesertartleague.com</a>.<br />
<br />
LUBBESMEYER STUDIO<br />
Then I would go upstairs to Lisa and Lori's fabric art studio to see and talk to these two amazing identical twins and see what they are up to. It's always something interesting!<br />
<br />
ATELIER 6000<br />
Before heading downtown, I have to make a stop at A6. There you can see original prints by OSU faculty member Yuji Hiratsuka, and a juried exhibit of bike-inspired prints by local artists.<br />
<br />
6pm- FRANKLIN CROSSING<br />
This is where the Watercolor Society of Oregon's travelling show is on display. Billye Turner presents the show downtown at the Franklin Crossing building on Franklin and Bond streets. The WSO has two shows per year with 80 of the best watercolor paintings in the state. Twenty of those are chosen to travel to different Oregon galleries for six months. We are lucky to have this in Bend this month. Don't miss it. Featured in this show is local artist Chris Keylock-Williams with an award of distinction.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VkMCJIk9xGw/VZbHP3iASnI/AAAAAAAAAJA/0zvcYxTM3MY/s1600/WSO%2Btravelling%2Bshow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VkMCJIk9xGw/VZbHP3iASnI/AAAAAAAAAJA/0zvcYxTM3MY/s320/WSO%2Btravelling%2Bshow.jpg" width="267" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
RED CHAIR GALLERY </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then walk over to this co-op gallery on Oregon and Bond to see the encaustic paintings of HDAL member Janice Rhodes! She'll have new works this month as the featured artist. Also showing their work there are HDAL members Jacqueline Newbold, Joren Traveller, Shelly Wierzba, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I'd be hungry for dinner, so I'd have to decide which wonderful restaurant to go to in Bend. This is not a restaurant guide, so I'll skip to after dinner.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
SOTHEBY'S is a real estate office on Wall Street in downtown Bend. There, Vivian Olsen and Barbara Slater are showing their new work, mostly animals, both domestic and wild.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So much to do and see! There are more galleries and exhibits in Bend than I have mentioned. And the exhibits are generally up all month, so if you miss this Friday, you can catch the art later. I hope to see you all at one or another of these wonderful exhibits!</div>
<br />

The artists arrived at Smith Rock State Park at eight in the morning and had only five hours to create an original work of art. Beginning with blank canvases the artists spread out over the park finding just the right vantage point and began creating. Working in oils, pastels, watercolor and acrylics the artists worked as park visitors looked on and asked questions. By the one-o’clock deadline the artists had completed their work including framing and submitted for the jury process. A jury of five High Desert Art League members selected twenty-five pieces of work from all submissions to be exhibited in the exhibition. From those twenty-five works of art, five were singled out for awards. <a href="http://tracyleagjeldfineart.com/" target="_blank">Tracy Leagjeld</a> of Portland, Oregon was awarded Best of Show for her oil painting titled <em>Hot Rocks</em>. <a href="http://jacobsenstudio.com/" target="_blank">Eric Jacobsen</a> of Prineville, Oregon took home second-place for his work in oil titled <em>Morning Light at Smith Rock</em>. Kim Smith’s watercolor titled <em>Rocks</em> earned third-place in the competition. Awards of achievement were presented to Central Oregon’s <a href="http://kathleenkeliher.com/" target="_blank">Kathleen Keliher</a> for <em>Hot Rocks</em>, <a href="http://www.joannekollman.com/" target="_blank">Joanne Kollman</a> for <em>Majestic Morning</em> and <a href="http://www.sageframing-gallery.com/artist/" target="_blank">Denise Rich</a> for <em>Among the Rocks</em>.<br />

<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">The High Desert Art
League and Smith Rock State Park created this event to bring the experience of
the park to new audiences. Smith Rock is a world famous rock-climbing
site and is host to miles of hiking and mountain bike trails. The
stunning cliffs separate the meandering Crooked River from the distant
Cascade Mountains skyline of snow capped peaks; a perfect setting for
artists, photographers and nature lovers of all kinds. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Art League President Vivian Olsen. “And quite a treat to be able to purchase
the artwork you saw being created following the event” she added. A juried
exhibition of work created during the event will be held at Redmond,

Featured last season on OPB’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.opb.org/television/programs/artbeat/" target="_blank">Oregon Art Beat</a> </i>(<a href="http://watch.opb.org/video/2365165557/" target="_blank">Kaseberg Story</a>), Kaseberg is known for pushing, playing with and refining
the art of solvent transfer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An
exploration of the process brought to prominence in the 1950s by Robert
Rauschenberg, the process involves borrowing inks from various printed media as
well as his own photos and graphics, chemically dissolving them and
transferring the image onto a new surface. Much as a photographer can
manipulate the camera image in many ways, the solvent transfer can be changed,
arranged, composed and continually altered to express the artist's aims. In
northwest regional exhibits and at national art fairs, his works have been
received with enthusiasm for their inventiveness and as expressions of human
sensibilities. </div>

The reception was crowded and lively until we locked the door at 9 p.m. Everyone was definitely enjoying the warm weather and excited about getting out for the evening.</div>

It was hard to pick between marbles, paperclips, pickles, postcards, eggs and more.... but I settled on the marble idea (thanks, MaryAnn Bake) and did a pile of glass ocean floats. They might not be that interesting, but I liked the challenge of making them translucent so you can make out some of the floats underneath.<br />
