Paint with Paul Weaver in Watercolour

in the Vale of Llangollen, where you will

paint cascading rivers with rocks,

canals, aqueducts and beautiful

buildings.


Many of the painting locations are close

by, especially the interesting buildings of

Plas Newydd and the majestic views of

the River Dee at Victoria Promenade

where we will paint. We will also visit

places such as Valle Crucis Abbey &

Eliseg's Pillar, the magnificient Chirk

Castle with its beautiful gardens and the

stunning Pontcysyllte Aqueduct with the

Llangollen canal. Subjects will include

castles, ruins, bridges, buildings, water,

reflections, rocks and the canal.



An award winning artist, enthusiastic

and encouraging tutor, Paul will

combine informative lessons with plenty

of on-site sketching and painting.


He will guide you through his techniques

for capturing the mood and atmosphere

of this superb location.


With instructive demonstrations and

personal guidance, he will offer advice

on choosing subjects, composition and

tonal sketches, as well as techniques for

capturing the atmospheric effects of

light and shade, trees, skies, water and

reflections, simplifying architecture and

adding figures to a scene.
