THE Forestry Commission is offering budding Picassos as chance to brush up on their skills with a sketching and watercolour workshop.
Leading the event, on Saturday in the 4,000-acre Hamsterley Forest, County Durham, is artist Marney Swan, who lives on the edge of the woodland in Bedburn, and who has exhibited in London and Richmond.
The event, which is ideal for beginners, runs from 1pm to 4pm and starts with a short walk from the visitor centre. Places cost £8 for adults, £5 concessions, and must be booked. Telephone (01388) 488312.
