Drawing and painting call for such different mindsets that I find it difficult to go back and forth between the two. I think it is understandable that you might feel a little rusty if you have been focusing mainly on drawing lately.
I pretty much always have that impulse to throw out what I have done at some point on almost every painting I do, so you are definitely not alone. Sometimes, it helps to set it aside and go back with a fresh eye and sometimes I end up wiping it out, starting over or abandoning that subject and doing something else.
I have found doing a small, daily still life painting that takes an hour or two is a good way to quickly get more comfortable with my brush, so that might be an idea to get back into the swing of painting. I am sure the workshop with Marvin will be a great boost too, something to look forward to!
All the best!
