Lauren Sansaricq (b. 1990) grew up in Colombia County, NY where from an early age she was not only exposed to the beauties of the Hudson Valley, but also under the teaching of Thomas Locker, was exposed to the traditional painting techniques of the Hudson River School. Taking Mr. Locker’s advice Lauren received a classical education in drawing and painting at the Grand Central Academy of Art in NYC. She has three times been awarded the Hudson River Fellowship where she has continued to study nature and produce paintings in the tradition of the Hudson River School. Lauren’s paintings have been exhibited and collected in venues throughout New York State including Manhattan. One of Lauren’s paintings was recently featured in the New York Times representing “The Great Hudson River Exhibition.”

Upcoming Lecture at The Currier Museum

I am so honored to be giving a lecture on my process as a landscape painter and how it relates to the Hudson River School, Nov. 3rd between 7 and 7:30pm at The Currier Museum , in Manchester N.H.

The lecture also aligns with a remarkable show the museum is doing on 19th century white mountain art called “Mount Washington: The Crown of New England”.

mount_washington_from_the_valley_of_conway — This 19th century John Kensett painting of Mount Washington will be at the show.

In my lecture I plan to discuss the Hudson River School artist’s approach of working from drawings and plein-air sketches to make their larger studio paintings. And more generally how these artists saw and studied nature.

Please join me Nov. 3rd! Should be a wonderful evening.

Recent Lecture and Demonstration at The Museum of the White Mountains

September 23, 2016 laurensansaricq2 Comments

I was so honored to lecture and demonstrate on the subject of 19th century landscape painting techniques at the Museum of the White Mountains recently. In the lecture I talked about the common process among artists of that time to do drawings and color studies outdoors, then bring this information back to the studio to make larger studio paintings. And how these larger pictures were done in a layered process , first with an under-painting , then several layers of glazing and scummbling.

Here is my smaller color study, and drawing for the larger painting to the right

And the larger painting “The Basin” 24 x 48in.

Here I am demonstrating the under painting phase

For those interested in seeing a video of my process of how to make a Winter Full Moon painting, follow this link:
