3 Amazing Landscape Paintings by Pacific Northwest Artist, Mitch Baird
September 2, 2010

This week’s featured artist is Mitch Baird, a fantastic Pacific Northwest painter who specializes in beautiful scenic landscapes.
I chose to highlight Mitch’s landscape paintings today specifically because of the way he manages to create a realistic representation of visual space while still retaining a painterly, loose style.
In Humble Homestead, below, our focus is initially drawn to that sunlit house. . . but the very next thing you’ll probably notice is all the space around it!
So what are the keys to creating depth in a painting? Just take a look at Mitch’s work and you’ll see them all. In the foreground, colors become more vibrant while brushstrokes become larger and more textural.
Objects far away are correctly rendered much smaller (something that many artists struggle with) and there’s also that lovely “atmospheric haze” that appears—albeit subtly—in the distance.
Beyond all that, let’s not ignore the amazing colors in these paintings. Check out the wide range of hues in this next piece, entitled Moran at Sun Up.
Instead of a vague “dirt” color, the ground is red, yellow, brown, and green. Mitch’s evergreen trees are a rich, deep, green-black, and those far-off mountains are a gorgeous mixture of pink, orange, cream, purple and blue.
That’s a lot of color for an artist to throw into one painting, but he pulls it off due to an excellent composition.
Note the faint zig-zag pattern that crosses the canvas—it starts as a series of dots in the lower right corner (moving diagonally up and to the left) then “zags” back to the right via a line of trees in the mid-distance. The foothills of the mountains form a third line leading once more to the left.
Using that simple pattern to guide our eyes, Mitch successfully directs us through the lower 2/3rds of the painting, where otherwise we might have gotten lost.
And here’s the last painting I wanted to show you, mostly because I just liked it quite a bit—but many of the same techniques have been employed to make it a successful painting as well.

Celebrated as one of the most important American landscape artists of his generation, Richard Mayhew's works have revolutionized the depiction of the American landscape by capturing the experience rather than the literal appearance of his subject. His lush palette allows the viewer explore the location through Mayhew's senses, and his interest in land issues is fueled in part by his Native American and African American decent and the reverence for nature that the two cultures have in common.
Born in Amityville, New York, Richard Mayhew formally studied art at the Brooklyn Museum Art School, Art Student's League, Columbia University, The Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts in New York, and The Academia in Florence. He has held positions in the College Art Association, National Academy of Design in New York, and Pennsylvania State University. Richard Mayhew's collections are throughout the United States including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, New York University, The Brooklyn Museum, Westinghouse Electric in Pittsburg, PA., and The Museum of African Art in Washington, DC.

When You Are Ready to Start Your Landscaping Dream Project
Before you are ready to start your landscaping project, you need to ask yourself a few questions, such as do you want to transform your property into a relaxing getaway or an enchanted garden, a more recreational oriented space or a combination of all three? If you are landscaping for your business property – what kind of image are you creating for your clients?
When contemplating your landscape design needs,it is helpful to have an idea of what your goals are, what kind of budget you are willing to allocate to this garden/landscape design and installation, and have your dream designed to a degree, at least mentally. Then it is time to contact your landscape architect.
Usually at the top of the list is to maximize the enjoyment of your property and space and an added bonus that is sometimes a pleasant surprise – it will increase your property value.
Considerations:
What is your style?
- Do you like a more formal atmosphere for entertaining?
- Does your taste run more to an English garden setting?
- For your home do you want that custom pool and surrounding atmospheric landscaping?
- What special features do you desire? An outdoor kitchen, waterfalls, play areas, fountains?
- What kind of trees and flowers do you prefer?
- What materials do you enjoy – such as floral elegance, extensive water features, granite materials (just to name a few).
Choosing the Right Professional Landscape Architect:
Your best choice for a landscape architect will be a licensed, experienced designer who will create the best design for your property and terrain, and not only design your dream landscape, but is able to translate this design into reality with the proper installation.
Professional Landscaping is a Creative Undertaking:
You aren’t really buying a landscape. You are utilizing the services of a talented landscape designer and builder, and depending upon your ultimate project, your relationship with your landscape architect can last for as long as it takes to complete the installation, or it can last for years, as your tastes change or you would like to make ongoing additions to your landscaped getaway, or in the event that you are landscaping your business property, the ultimate inviting atmosphere for your clients.

I hope you have enjoyed our landscape photography tips and photos, please feel free to ask questions or leave your comments we love to hear from our readers. Happy snapping.
Vary your viewpoint
Don't take all images standing up or on a normal height tripod, changing the viewpoint of an image can dramatically change an entire shot. Shoot from different angles, move the camera off centre 'experiment'

Reflections
Shooting with reflection can be simply stunning, for the best results be aware of your surroundings, a little wind even a slight breeze can ruin the effect. Scout around and see if you can find a wind break, often the smallest rise in the landscape can provide shelter to the wind so if possible walk around your subject and find the calmest point in which to shoot.

Use filtersFilters are key to getting the right exposure and proper saturation when shooting. They allow you to carefully control your shot and make it as great as possible. Below I have listed three filters no landscape photographer should be without.
- UV: Actually this is one no photographer should be without. This filter never leaves my lens. It is perfect for protecting your expensive glass and also does a great job of helping colors pop.
- Polarizer: Polarizers are great for cutting through glare and bringing out more detail in water.
- Graduated Neutral Density: Neutral Density filters simply darken your lens to allow for slower shutter speeds without burn. A graduated neutral density filter is darker at the top and clear at the bottom. This allows you to darken a bright sky while leaving the ground untouched. Thus you will be able to shoot the ground and sky without over or under exposing part of your photo.
Composition
Think about what is in your shot, often landscapes without a specific focal point can end up well a little boring, take your time and visualise what you are trying to convey through the photo. The better you can visualise the more that idea will be portrayed through your photography.

Experiment
Don't be afraid to try something new, a good artist forgets all the rules and makes their own. Once you know all the rules you can break them and see what your own creative input will produce.

Choose your times
Many landscape photographers never shoot during the day, they choose the Golden Hours, these are the sunrise and sunset hours and can often produce the best light. Light is your biggest friend or foe in photography so set your self up with the chance of taking the best pictures around the best times.

Use what is around you
Think outside the box, if you are out and about and the day is not perfect it can be an opportunity to use everyday objects to bring a photo to life, the sheer contrast of the red against the grey overcast day produces a memorable photo.

Work with nature
The sky can be as dramatic as your main focal point, allowing light to bleed into the shot also helps create mood within the shot. Great images don't mean sunny summer sky's all the time, winter sky produces some amazing drama to many landscapes.

Foreground
Use the foreground to your advantage it can produce depth of field to the shot and provide more interest to the picture. Foregrounds can be like an introduction to your photo, similar to the lines they provide a way for the view to get inside your photo.

ScoutThe best way to get a boring picture is to walk up to your location 10 minutes before the shoot, set up your camera and start shooting. You want your photos to be unique, explore your location beforehand. Find the best place to frame your shot and know where it is so you can be set up and ready to go when it comes time to shoot.
Composition lines
Where are you leading your viewers eyes, providing lines that take people on a journey within the photo produce some of the best landscape photos.

Depth of focus or depth of field
Under normal circumstances you want to be shooting with high apertures to give the greatest depth of focus possible (the whole shot pin sharp) Using small apertures does mean less light getting through so expect the need for a longer shutter speed, try not to compensate by increasing the ISO it is better to use a tripod and achieve crisp deep photos.

Shoot with a Tripod
This is the single most important rule of landscape photography. You want your image to be "tack" sharp. No matter how still you think you can hold that camera there is no way you can hold it as still as a tripod.
Choosing the right tripod is crucial. Like anything in Photography, a good tripod tends to have a price associated with it. As a rule I would NEVER purchase a tripod for less than $100 USD. And usually I aim for one several times that number. Your tripod needs to be sturdy, even in heavy wind. It also needs to be light enough that you can carry it around. Here is a list of other key features to look for in a tripod.
- When fully extended you should be able to comfortably stand while using it.
- The tripod itself should have a level built into the base so that you can level the tripod independent of the camera.
- It should have a dynamic head. Most prefer ball heads as they tend to allow for the most freedom.
- You should be able to spread the legs out to multiple angles to lower the center of gravity in extreme wind.
- It should be easy to remove and attach the camera without having the "screw" it in.
