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 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.

With Paul you will start by sketching, where you can concentrate on

composition, before starting work on your painting. He will assist with

either a demonstration or quick sketches to illustrate what can be

achieved quickly. Paul likes to use a loose, rapid approach to painting,

usually completing a piece in around two hours.

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

helpful and technical advice.
