Hello, I originally joined painters online about 8 years ago and loved it but haven't picked up a paint brush Since then. Complete loss of confidence and going through a very difficult few years, living in a very rural area feeling cut-off from people hasn't helped. Then I had a 'light bulb' moment...why not get back into painting! Currently looking for a group or class and going to take the plunge! Just wondered if any one can recommend a short break or workshop, 2 or 3 days in UK to give me a kick-start!!

Hi Louise, look at Charles Evans website. He does three day painting workshops up in Northumberland and he also visits various places around the country or abroad to teach groups of people. I went on one of his three day courses in Northumberland approximately ten years ago and I learnt a lot from it. The courses were very well run and Charles is an excellent teacher.
