Description:

Techniques of the Hudson River School with Erik Koeppel & Lauren Sansaricq in NH

Detail of painting by Lauren Sansaricq
July 25 - Aug 3, 2013 (10 instructed days)

a lecture, and 1 group meal)
Location: Jackson, NH in the White Mountain National Forest

Limited shared lodging (private or shared rooms) available
in rental house (kitchen).
Single room housing is available at local hotels.

Class open, accepting registrations.
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 19th 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 desctription and Supply List)

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

Final Critique with tons of great Student work

Paintings of White Mountain Waterfalls

Erik Koeppel "Ripley Falls" 14 x 11 inches Oil on panel

 I love to paint waterfalls, and this summer visited many of the falls of the White Mountains, sketching most and painting a number of them. Studying the beauty of flowing water in person is a fascinating experience that I hope these paintings capture.
