Terry Miura

Terry Miura is an oil painter whose work came to my attention a year or so ago.

He paints cityscapes, landscapes, and figures. The above is called "Chicago Drizzle."

website: www.terrymiura.com

His blog is really excellent and should appeal to anyone interested in the painting process, regardless of media. http://terrymiura.blogspot.com/ Scroll down to the March post which details how he decided to paint over a finished (and exhibited) painting. Scroll down to the February posts, first for composition decisions on a landscape painting, then for one on painting snow.

Aron Wiesenfeld

I was perusing a Lines and Colors blog about an exhibition in Santa Monica, which led me to check out Wiesenfeld's website. He works in charcoal and in oils. His figures are really evocative and quite wonderful.

Whites for oil painting

I found this lengthy studio note on Gamblin's white oil paints quite helpful:

http://www.gamblincolors.com/newsletters/getting-the-white-right.html

Since I've been doing mostly watercolors of late, white paint is not something I think about much (except for maybe a little white gouache), but I do consider whether I want to paint a particular subject on paper that is a natural white OR a white white.

There are other studio notes of interest to oil painters on the Gamblin website as well.

Our Goals

1. To offer opportunities to learn new techniques through workshops, demonstrations, plein air paint outs, field trips, and media presentations.

2. To foster opportunities for artists to exhibit their work through shows both juried and non-juried, as well as other community local venues.

3.To publicize WVWS and other art events and opportunities through meetings, social media and traditional media.

4. To create accessible opportunities for young people to explore art.

5. To sustain a vibrant organization through active member participation in monthly meetings and collaborative leadership using individual talents.

Our History

The Wabash Valley Artist's Society began as the Wabash Valley Watercolor Society in 1989. After much consideration, the board and members voted to expand the organization to include multi- media, acrylics, oils and pastels in addition to watercolor, effective January 2015. The former WVWS, now the WVAS, has a rich history in the Lafayette, Indiana region. Local artists, in search of information, an opportunity to share their interest in painting, and the chance to exhibit their work, formed the Wabash Valley Watercolor Society in 1989. Many of the founding members were students of Barbara Gresham from the Greater Lafayette Museum of Art (now the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette). The inspiration and challenges of her teaching were the catalyst that sparked the society’s formation.
