The Woodland Streams of the Hudson River Painters - #208 Landscapes Through Time with David Dunlop

From Emmy Award winning PBS series Landscapes Through Time with David Dunlop (Program 208, Season Two)(English Subtitles)
Join David as he travels to a secluded woodland stream in New England off the Saugatuck River in Connecticut, following in the footsteps of Hudson River painters such as Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and Asher Durand (1796-1886). David discusses the Hudson River Painters who were painting and exploring the Hudson River valley in the 1800's before expanding to the American West and South America. They were a loose group of painters who were considered to be the first group of American painters who helped to forge an identity for the newly formed United States. David paints an oil study of the intimate stream in a setting of dense and dappled foliage, demonstrating techniques of painting water and woods used by the Hudson River painters to convey emotion as well as inspiration.

Thank you from, the bottom of my heart for doing the Hudson School boys.

The philosophical thoughts of the artists about nature and painting it, so beautifully presented here, is still our Bible for plein air painting is it not. Very broadly, is it the opportunity to paint uninhabited nature, as well as the emphasis on spirituality that distinguishes American vs European landscape painting? A wonderful episode.
