Join Paul Oakley on this unique opportunity to paint Castles and Canals of
the Usk Valley plus landscapes of Monmouthshire and Abergavenny.
We will paint along the Brecon and Monmouth Canal at places such as
Goytre Wharf, Castles such as Caldicott and/or Raglan, bridges such as
the Monnow Bridge in Monmouth plus Welsh Heritage Sites such as
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.
Paul is an experienced artist and teacher and regularly runs painting
courses and workshops as well as demonstrating for art groups and
societies. Paul will join you painting in some beautiful locations where he
will paint a demonstration each day to show how to best capture a
landscape painted 'en plein air', as well as leaving you lots of time for your
own painting.
As well as demonstrating, Paul will be on hand whilst you're painting to
provide advice on composition and technique in order to ensure you get
the most from your time painting with him. His approach to painting
outdoors is that it should be enjoyable and this comes over in his approach
to painting and the way he helps others who are sharing the experience
with him.
