Summary

Join Chris Forsey on this opportunity to paint Castles and Canals of the Usk

Valley plus landscapes of Monmouthshire

Details

We will paint along the Brecon and Monmouth Canal at Goytre Wharf,

Castles such as Caldicott and/or Raglan, the Monnow Bridge in Monmouth

plus Welsh Heritage Site, Blaenavon Ironworks with its traditional

cottages and remnants of an industrial past. The grounds around the hotel

with the lake, reflections, streams and trees with their dappled sunlight

make for a great subject as well as painting landscapes, valleys and lakes

giving plenty of variety of painting subjects.

Chris is a very experienced painter and enthusiastic teacher, mostly

specialising in landscape subjects. He has a distinctive style in his work,

with atmosphere, light and colour of great importance. He uses

demonstration and one-to-one teaching approaches to help the student

understand how to explore a free and expressive approach in their own

work using combinations of water-based media.
