UK Painting Breaks

Enjoy a Norfolk Skies Painting Break, a Holiday, Demonstration or Workshop (dates in the right-hand panel)

You’ll really enjoy one of Frank’s Painting Breaks. Frank paints for sheer enjoyment – with a loose, bold, big brush style. He loves to be free and unstructured, but even though he bends the rules, he is a subtle teacher and an innovative Master. His classes are practical, they’re fun, and with his expert eye they guide students of all abilities to achieve memorable results.

Painting Breaks are four days long over a weekend and are limited to just six people, to ensure that everyone benefits from individual tuition. They are held at Frank's home studio in Cromer, a picturesque Norfolk seaside town twenty miles from Norwich.

Whilst Frank will be your teacher and part-time entertainer, the hospitality you will enjoy is provided with an unerring sense of style by his lovely wife Carol (probably the only one who can control his exuberance!).


Painting on Location

End of day critique

You'll spend most of your time painting on location at some of the most beautiful places in the Norfolk countryside, using the studio only when the weather is bad.

And after a full day, there are many excellent local restaurants around Cromer offering a variety of culinary styles for an enjoyable dinner.

We also provide a list of superior

 

B&Bs for your overnight accomodation so you're sure to be comfortable!

Non-painting partners are more than welcome as there are endless things to do in Norwich, the Broads and the North Norfolk coast.

Spoil yourself and join Frank for a wonderful painting break in the area made famous by Cotman, Seago and Middleton. All courses start on a Friday and this year's dates are shown in the panel above.
