Join Shelagh Ashley 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.
Shelagh has over 20 years experience
in tutoring painting holidays and enjoys
all types of subject matter; particularly
architecture, for which she has a
preference for working in pen and
wash. She is a great believer in
sketchbook work, and encourages her
students to carry a sketchbook with
them whenever they can.
Her approachable style of teaching will
enable you to get the most from your
paintings as she will assist you with
plenty of one-to-one tuition. Also,
through a combination of
demonstrations and tips & techniques
she will show you how to get the results
you want whether a complete beginner
or a more accomplished artist.
