Summary

Join Paul Talbot-Greaves 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 it's 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.



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.
