Summary

Join Paul Talbot-Greaves on this exciting opportunity to paint in Jersey

where we will paint some beautiful coastal scenes and harbours.

Details

The holiday is based at St Brelade's Bay Hotel, a beautiful 4-star hotel

with it's own private beach front garden and private access to the beach

making it a great place to stay. We can paint in the gardens or on the

beach and there are plenty of boats, a nearby beautiful old church on the

sea front near to the small harbour. There are also great panoramic views

of the bay that can be seen from the restaurant, the dedicated function

room and many of the bedrooms.

We will paint a wide range of subjects including a selection of St. Brelade's

Bay, St Aubin's Harbour, Gorey Castle & Harbour, La Corbiere Lighthouse,

La Rocq & Le Hocq as well as Rozel Bay and Bouley Bay on the north coast

and more.

With Paul you will sketch and take photographs on site, where we can

concentrate on composition finding and absorb subjects, before returning

to the studio to work on a finished painting. Although the studio time is

more controlled and comfortable, Paul still likes to use a loose, rapid

approach to painting, usually completing a piece in around two hours.

Paul will lead by demonstration, gathering participants around a table to

watch close hand, take notes and discuss his techniques and approaches.

He helps painters with their own work, giving individual tuition,

demonstrations, offering helpful and technical advice.
