I am still searching for a suitable painting course/holiday for this year but have had no luck. I sent for a brochure online for a course in Essex which turned out to be weekends only but I was inundated with brochures from all over the country. The best courses for me are at Higham Hall in Cumbria but it is too far for me to drive from Kent. Sadly, I doubt if I will get away this year but I will keep on looking. I have been slow to get back into painting after Christmas but I am at last doing a few hours a week and enjoying it very much. Watercolours at my Art Group and acrylics at home. Can't wait for the light to improve as we have had so many dark days here in Kent. Here in Margate we have a new exhibition about to open at the Turner Contemporary gallery with over eighty Turner paintings and drawings on show. I can't wait to see the exhibition as I'm a big fan of Turners work and I will blog my thoughts on it when I've been. Bye for now. from Artwoman2
