Holidays Listing

Join Chris Forsey on this opportunity to

paint Castles and Canals of the Usk

Valley plus landscapes of

Monmouthshire

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.

Chris is a very experienced painter and

enthusiastic teacher, mostly specialising

in landscape subjects. He has a

distinctive style in his work, with

atmosphere, light and colour of great

importance. He uses demonstration and

one-to-one teaching approaches to

help the student understand how to

explore a free and expressive approach

in their own work using combinations of

water-based media.
