BOLTON artist Brian Barlow is happy to put local people in the picture about painting.

As well as staging a collection of his work in the Portico Gallery at the town's Museum and Art Gallery in Le Mans Crescent, Brian is also demonstrating his work in the Central Library downstairs.

He is setting up his easel in the library for a couple of sessions, including one today, to pass on artistic tips to the public.

Brian will be at work among the books next on Friday, August 16, and Wednesday, August 28, from 11am to 2pm.
