\nCharlie Evans was born a long time ago in Yorkshire where he grew up as a country lad.

During an early career in catering, he discovered a love of painting and was commissioned by the National Coal Board to paint pictures for their boardrooms.\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>

As soon as he could, Charlie went to Lincoln Art College but it was hard to make a living, in those days, as an artist. A career in the RAF meant that he could develop his catering expertise while representing his regiment in 3-day eventing and motorcycle racing. Leaving the RAF and relocating to Northumberland gave Charlie the impetus to develop a career in art, painting and teaching. Appearing regularly for Tyne Tees TV regional programmes, painting out on location, gave him plenty of practice in working under all conditions.<\/p>\n

Today, Charlie still lives in Northumberland and travels the country, and abroad, taking his no-nonsense approach to painting to hundreds of amateur artists.<\/p>\n

Charlie represents Daler-Rowney wherever he goes and believes they provide the best art materials available. Charlie also writes how-to-paint books for Search Press.<\/p>\n

You can follow Charlie on Twitter and see what he is doing. You can also follow the antics of his beloved dogs, Frank and Bert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
