Lauren Sansaricq and I are doing a workshop in Jackson, NH this weekend, and there are still openings to join us. This is primarily a painting workshop, but we are opening it up to anyone who would like to grab a sketchbook and pencil, and learn to increase their appreciation of natural Beauty by attempting to draw it.
Here's the official description from
the Wentworth Hotel website (where you'll be staying).
Traditional Oil Painting
July 5th - July 8th 2012 - An introduction to Traditional Outdoor Oil Painting in the footsteps of the White Mountain Painters
Have you always had an interest in landscape painting but never had the
opportunity or time - this weekend will give you the opportunity to
receive instruction in the fundamentals of landscape painting with
personal instruction from two of the art worlds most promising painters.
This workshop is open to all levels and with two instructors and
limited to twelve students the workshop will offer extra personal
attention to each student's individual interests and needs. You will be
painting in locations actually portrayed by the White Mountain School
and by doing this will discover a deeper understanding of how these
artists approached the challenge of rendering the landscape before them.
Your weekend will begin on Thursday evening with a wine and cheese
reception where you will meet your fellow students and the art
instructors Erik Koeppel and Lauren Sansaricq. There will be a display
of some of their most recent paintings of the White Mountains and they
will give a talk on their methods and what to expect from your workshop.
Friday and Saturday mornings will start with a full breakfast and then
you head off for a day of painting in the beautiful White Mountains.
Instructors will demonstrate and discuss techniques in the morning and
will guide students through their own paintings in the afternoons. The
first day will cover drawing and under painting and the second day will
cover glazing and refining your first day's work in the same location.
Lunch will be provided as a boxed lunch. Dinner both evenings will be as
a group at The Wentworth Dining Room with a four course dinner being
served. You will be painting in the same spot both days and by Sunday
morning your painting will be glazed, framed and ready for you to take
home.
On Sunday morning your day will again begin with a full breakfast
followed by a visit to the Jackson Historical Society to view 19th
Century White Mountain paintings and discuss their technique.
