Children can paint their favourite celebrity at the Billericay Arts Association, Laindon Road, on July 29 and 30.

The two-day art workshop, for seven-to-12-year-olds, promises to be messy, so organisers advise an apron or old shirt is worn to protect clothes.

A suitable picture of the chosen celebrity should be taken along. Paint, paper and brushes will be provided, but it is advised to bring a box of pastels and a piece of absorbent cloth to wipe brushes on.
