Holidays Listing

Join Paul Talbot-Greaves on this

unique opportunity to paint Castles and

Canals of the Usk Valley plus

landscapes of Monmouthshire and

Abergavenny.

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.
