WPBS will premiere the pilot of its latest local series, “Painting With Wilson Bickford,” at 3 p.m. Saturday.

The show will be repeated at 4:30 p.m. March 10.

It is hosted by north country native, artist and author Wilson Bickford, who provides instruction and entertainment through the art of painting.
