UK Painting Breaks

Enjoy a Norfolk Skies Painting Break, a Demonstration or a 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.

Breaks are limited to just ten people, to ensure that each benefits from individual tuition. Breaks last four days over a weekend and are held at Frank’s luxury B&B in Felthorpe, a picturesque Norfolk village five miles from Norwich. Whilst Frank will be your teacher and part-time entertainer, the hospitality you will enjoy is of course 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
The twin rooms each have private facilities in an extension built a few years ago. TV and tea/coffee-making facilities are provided and there is a spacious resident’s lounge with a large-screen TV, where you can socialise in the evenings.

There are plenty of places with varying culinary styles around Felthorpe for dinner in the evenings.
 
If the weather is bad, Frank has a large studio where you can continue to learn, but you’ll spend most of your time painting on location at some of the most beautiful places in Norfolk. 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.
