New 4 Day Workshop

Lauren Sansaricq, will be running an additional 4-day workshop through the Grand Central Academy July 21-24 in Jackson, NH. Although I won't be officially teaching, I'll probably paint with the group a couple of the days. This could be a great way to add some extra days onto our 10 day workshop alongside the Hudson River Fellowship, or a great introduction to our method of painting. Note the generous cost.


The following is from Lauren's blog:
"
    A schedule change at the Grand Central Academy of Art allowed me to run an additional 4-day workshop,July 21st -24th. Additionally for four days of instruction it will only be $500!!!

The workshop will be run in Jackson N.H.

Here is the course title and description:

Traditional landscape painting using a layered approach.
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 plein-air painting, how they composed the complexity of nature before them, and how they used a layered approach to greater capture qualities of space, and form in the landscape.

Dates: July 21st  to 24th
Tuition: 500

Show Opening This Weekend!


 
Erik Koeppel "Pastures of the Sunday River Road" 10 x 16 inches Oil on panel


Exhibit Opening
"Pictures Serene and Sublime: Traditional White Mountain Art Recaptured"

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.)
Mason House exhibit hall, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on July 6; thereafter Tuesday through Saturday, 1:00 to 4:00 PM.  Free (donations appreciated)

at The Bethel Historical Society, 10 Broad St., Bethel, ME

Lauren and I will be at the exhibition from 10 to 4p on Saturday, where we'd be happy to meet you, and talk about art!  

Here are some preview photos from 'hanging day':

 The historic paintings hang on the barn boards around the exterior of the exhibit, and our contemporary paintings are hung on the islands in the middle. This is a great opportunity to compare and consider the relevance of this kind of painting today. 

 An additional theme of the show is an emphasis on the fact that the White Mountains extend into the state of Maine, and that there are beautiful natural wonders in this section of the National Forest that were celebrated in the 19th Century, and today! This exhibition could be a wonderful introduction to the exploration of a lovely part of the White Mountains you may not have seen.
