Watercolour Challenge.

Thanks for sharing that shysal. I used to enjoy that programme and someone local got to the semi final and started up an art group which I joined.

Yes, it was Hannah Gordon.

Yes, I absolutely loved it too.
It was on TV in 1998 when DH and I first got together.
I used to watch it while I was waiting for him to come home ♥️

Hannah Gordon has such a beautiful calming voice and demeanour.
I’m sure that she was part of its charm.

Thanks, one I will definitely watch!

Ah I remember that with Hannah Gordon. I’ll enjoy that,
Thanks Shysal ?

Thank you for that; I used to watch it and enjoyed it very much.

Yippee. I used to love that. I've made a note of it and will watch it. Thanks.

Lovely programme, I remember it was nail biting waiting to see who would be in the finals ! Most were so talented

Wish it was still going to be Hannah Gordon. Not keen on Fern Britton.

I’ll be watching. Thanks for the info Shysal.

Thank you! I loved that programme and bought all the magazines. I now paint with acrylics, but will really enjoy watching.

I loved this with Hannah Gordon, thanks for pointing out that it's starting again.

Can somebody bump this up next Monday so I don’t forget to watch it! I love this sort of programme. Thanks for the tip off.

I loved this programme. It inspired me to take up watercolour painting and I even used the book, that accompanied the series, to learn . Hope they haven’t changed it too much.

Used to love it. Hope the new series is as good. The worry is that it will have been changed for the worse

Well at least it is not some second rate comedian who is MC'ing, as in so many reality-style programmes!

I am really looking forward to it. I loved Hannah Gordon, so quiet, intelligent and with dulcet voice, I hope Fern Britten is not too vocal!
I watch the landscape painting competition on Skye Arts channel but find the three judges choices often greatly differ from mine but they are the experts! I also watch the Portrait Artist of the year

I watch Portrait Artist on Sky Arts too Gin. My choices are often the same as those picked by the sitters but not often the same as the experts!
I do get impatient with the professionals, they so often go for gimmicky techniques rather than choosing the portrait that actually looks like the sitter.
I don’t watch the Landscape version so much but I will give this watercolour one a try.

Never heard of it! Must have been working....

I used to love this programme and my former art tutor Mike Chaplin used to be the head judge. He introduced me to watercolour painting about 30 years ago and it has led me down such an enriching path teaching in schools and on cruise ships all over the world. Now I’m retired I love it just as much and have been learning to paint in oils the last two years. You’re never bored if you have a passion for art!
I can’t wait to see it again. Love all the Sky arts challenges too.

Thanks just what I need ? Will get my paints out to paint along with them.

This used to be such a good programme and Hannah Gordon was lovely in it. Thankyou for alerting us Shysal My husband, who loves painting and drawing will certainly be watching.

Thanks a ton shysal -looking forward to the new Watercolour Challenge .

I loved the original.
Hannah Gordon had such a wonderful way with words .
Watercolours are very difficult- one mistake and it's ruined !

Sky has great art programmes .

I'd like to be able to do portraits , but ,landscape and still life in mixed media are my forte .

I can't get a likeness when doing portraits .

Didn’t agree with last nights Landscape Artist of the Year (yet again). Thought the runner up was much better.
