Led by experienced tutor Linda Hollingshead, pictured, the day will be packed with practical demonstrations, step-by-step guidance and brush hints.

A painting demonstrator with Winsor & Newton and an associate tutor for the Field Studies Council, Linda regularly hosts art appreciation tours for Saga Holidays and has given art shows at the Birmingham NEC.
