Summary

Join Paul Oakley on this unique opportunity to paint Castles and Canals of

the Usk Valley plus landscapes of Monmouthshire and Abergavenny.


Details

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.
