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 it's
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 sketch and take
photographs on site, where we can
concentrate on composition finding and
absorb subjects, before returning to
the studio to work on a finished
painting. Although the studio time is
more controlled and comfortable, Paul
still likes to use a loose, rapid approach
to painting, usually completing a piece
in around two hours.
Paul will lead by demonstration,
gathering participants around a table
to watch close hand, take notes and
discuss his techniques and approaches.
He helps painters with their own work,
giving individual tuition,
demonstrations, offering helpful and
technical advice.
