Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together. (RUSKIN) But you may have difficulties in transferring what's in your mind's eye on to the canvas, chipboard, or cartridge paper. Is water-colour the easiest medium to start with? Are there any rules of thumb for compositions? Is it possible to paint successful landscapes from picture postcards? And what's the best way to set about exhibiting your work?
Margaret Pettersson , artist and teacher of amateur painters, and Donald Hamilton Fraser , Associate Royal Academician and teacher at the Royal College of Art, join Teresa McGonagle to answer your questions. Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
