Painting Workshops

Upcoming Workshops for 2025….

Learn to paint these projects in my workshops. You will be taught watercolour skills and techniques that you can use in your own creative work. All materials and refreshments included. My top brands are Winsor and Newton, Qor, Saunders and Waterford and Arches. I can pass on many years of experience and help guide you through the vast world of watercolour.

Dates will be listed shortly.

More about Workshops and Tuition

I have been offering painting tuition in the form of workshops. I have been teaching almost 30 years and I have been painting even longer than that. Combining these skills, sharing techniques, knowledge and a joy of painting and creativity is what makes me happy. Painting allows you to focus on something different, so it is perfect for those who need some time just for themselves, or to escape the stresses of everyday life.

My workshops are 2 and a half hours long; £40 per person, for 2 and a half hours for up to 4 people; with all materials and refreshments provided. I will be releasing new dates for Spring shortly. At present these workshops take place in my house, which is centrally located in the heart of the historic town of Hexham. I am a few minutes walk from Hexham railway station, the public car parks and the town centre.

I am looking to expand my workshop offer, by using other premises and by offering sessions for community groups. Please contact me at admin@charlottethompsonart.co.uk if you would like to book a session.

I also offer 1-1 tuition in watercolour. Currently I offer £90 for 3 hours. I can tailor tuition to a subject of your choice including landscape, floral, still life and illustration.
