Pictures Serene and Sublime: Traditional White Mountain Art Recaptured

July 6 through August 31, 2013 — Mason House

During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, numerous artists (including many from the so-called Hudson River School) captured the awe-inspiring summits and verdant glens in the White Mountain region of northern New Hampshire and western Maine. Including many of these early landscapes, this exhibit also highlights the work of Erik Koeppel and Lauren Sansaricq, nationally-recognized plein air artists who create masterful works in the Hudson River style based on their love for the expressive potentials of traditional representation. The eight-week exhibition will feature a variety of White Mountain landscapes, including several from the collection of the Jackson (NH) Historical Society. The contemporary works by artists Koeppel and Sansaricq will be available for purchase. (All sales will benefit the Bethel Historical Society.)

Opening on Saturday July 6 at the Bethel Main Historical Society’s Museum.

All Are Welcome!

An Introduction to Traditional Landscape Painting – How to Paint the Claudian Tree with Erik Koeppel & Lauren Sansaricq
Regardless of your level of experience, the goal of this workshop will be to provide you with a thorough introduction to traditional landscape painting. In this workshop, we will attempt to place ourselves in the mindset of the great Landscape Painters of the past. Students will discover a deeper understanding of how these old masters approached the challenge of conceiving a landscape painting in the studio. We believe that the concepts we will be discussing and demonstrating will greatly help the student’s ability to understand nature more thoroughly and thus, greatly improve their outdoor work. Our layered approach to painting, is something unique to today’s art world and is fundamental to achieving a painting in a traditional mode. We will demonstrate glazing , scumbling, and how to use the surface of the canvas to achieve a painting rich in form yet light in color and value.

Regardless of your level of experience our goal as instructors will be to provide you with a thorough introduction to traditional landscape painting. In this workshop we will attempt to place ourselves in the mindset of the great American Landscape Painters of the 19^th Century. By painting in locations actually portrayed by the Hudson River School, we will discover a deeper understanding of how these artists approached the challenge of rendering the landscape before them.

Although we encourage painting, students wishing to learn landscape drawing for the entire ten days are welcome. We will address the following: compositional sketching, light and atmosphere in grisaille, outdoor painting in color. (See attached PDF for full course description and Supply List)

With two instructors we will offer extra personal attention to each student’s individual interests and needs.

Days 4,5,6
Final Critique with tons of great Student work
