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.

Bumping as requested, Maybee70. Enjoy!

Yeah! I am certainly looking forward to the programme. I remember watching it when Hannah Gordon was the presenter and I loved every minute of it. Also I think there used to be a book about the programme as well.

Me too!

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

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 .

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks, one I will definitely watch!
