It seemed to me at the fourth dimension that essentially this was going to be
It would appear I guessed most right!
Interestingly the search for people threw upwards a Definition of an amateur creative individual inwards the terms in addition to conditions
In general, this type of programme seems to move a tad confused every bit to whether it's a contest to detect the best amateur whatever or whether its aims is to brand "good television" because it has people amongst interesting dorsum stories amongst the programmes in addition to so going on to exhibit "the journey" for the individuals. Are they proficient amateurs or are nosotros going to come across them prepare their skills every bit the serial progresses? I'm all for it beingness a journeying so long every bit nobody genuinely goes around maxim the winner is the best amateur painter inwards the UK!
After all, non everybody wants to appear on television!
There are 6 episodes in addition to the showtime ii episodes direct maintain been announced. The showtime - at 6pm on BBC1 on Lord's Day nighttime - is most Landscape
Looking at the book, I'm thinking Seascapes, Cityscapes in addition to People inwards displace are a goodness bet. I'm also guessing at to the lowest degree 1 challenge 1 mightiness good involve taking people out of their comfort zone in addition to getting them to usage fine art materials they're non used to.
You tin come across some clips from the showtime ii episodes on the website here

This 1 is aimed at kids every bit the individual giving the lesson is the illustrator of Tracy Beaker. Click the link to detect out more.
As good every bit The Big Painting Challenge there's also The Little Painting Challenge - which has already started!
In summary:
I bought the majority - The Big Painting Challenge - today at half-price inwards WH Smith. (I banknote it's the same toll on Amazon so do ignore the fact it's priced at £20 in addition to aim for a £10 deal!).
The writer is Rosa Roberts
Its aim is to move a practical guide to paradigm in addition to drawing.
I found it genuinely interesting to await at a majority which inwards many ways seems to direct maintain had a non unlike brief to the 1 I had - notwithstanding mine was most drawing in addition to sketching solely in addition to this is most paradigm in addition to drawing. It's fascinating to come across how the writer has translated that into topics inside the book. They got 250+ pages to deliver the terminate production inwards every bit opposed to my 160 in addition to yesteryear in addition to large that translates into much bigger images in addition to much to a greater extent than emphasis on footstep yesteryear footstep projects. Which makes it non unlike at showtime await to a seat out of other books most paradigm in addition to drawing.
I do similar the emphasis that is given to exercises for newbies in addition to ones for people who are to a greater extent than experienced.
I've yesteryear no agency gone through it all every bit yet, all the same for those inwards the Britain who are familiar amongst the fine art magazine market, initial impressions advise it's leaning rather to a greater extent than towards 'Leisure Artist' (ie older individual who enjoys paradigm every bit a hobby) rather than 'The Artist' ( younger audience including some who aspire to move semi-professional or professional person painters). By which I hateful the artwork inwards the majority is the kind to a greater extent than probable to move seen at the annual exhibition of a local fine art society.
Having non seen the serial yet it's hard to come across how unopen the tie-in is betwixt episodes in addition to series. Having studied the descriptions of the showtime ii episodes in addition to the related content inwards the majority at that topographic point appears to move some that is related in addition to other content which is to a greater extent than full general relevance.
I'm guessing (given how long my majority took to gain in addition to write) that the majority was inwards all probability produced inwards advance of the filming - on the footing of an intended script - amongst images from the filming slotted inwards towards the terminate - thence the discrepancies.
Books are real much associated amongst these BBC programmes. I know I went out in addition to bought a slew of Mary Berry books afterward the Great British Bake-Off. On residue I shout out upwards I'd direct maintain rather seen a majority yesteryear Daphne Todd who brings a wealth of sense to her judging role. She's non yet produced a majority of instruction. If the serial takes off, perchance this volition move the trigger for 1 to move produced inwards future? I know I'd purchase it if she did.
What's The Big Painting Challenge?
Ostensibly it's most a nationwide search for the best amateur artist. I wrote most the initial search for participants a twelvemonth agone inwards Feb 2014 - The Great British Paint-Off: BBC1 searches for best amateur artistsIt seemed to me at the fourth dimension that essentially this was going to be
a competitive fine art serial on BBC1 which I estimate volition move the fine art equivalent of the The Great British Bake-Off in addition to The Great British Sewing Bee!In other words, 3 challenges per programme in addition to somebody voted off each calendar week yesteryear the ii judges who are experts inwards their field.
It would appear I guessed most right!
Interestingly the search for people threw upwards a Definition of an amateur creative individual inwards the terms in addition to conditions
The contest is non opened upwards to anyone who is currently a professional person artist, or artists who direct maintain already won professionally recognised prizes or awards for their work.4. To qualify every bit an amateur, individuals should non earn to a greater extent than than 50% of their annual income from their artworks, or move represented yesteryear an established gallery.

The Episodes
There are 6 episodes in addition to the showtime ii episodes direct maintain been announced. The showtime - at 6pm on BBC1 on Lord's Day nighttime - is most Landscape
The 2d episode is most PortraitureThe contest starts inwards Alnwick Castle inwards Northumberland - known to many every bit Hogwarts - where proficient judges Lachlan Goudie in addition to Daphne Todd OBE laid their showtime challenge to come across each artist's unique paradigm way for the showtime time......The 2d challenge each calendar week is a quick-draw challenge. In this episode the artists must sketch, at speed, a delphinium flower. Expert justice Lachlan Goudie shows us his tips on how to capture the beauty in addition to complexity of a flower. Their finally challenge is to pigment the formidable castle from across the banks of the River Aln. Getting a sense of depth into their paintings proves to a greater extent than hard than many think. While some thrive paradigm outdoors, others who've solely e'er painted inwards the comfort of their spare bedrooms direct maintain to suit speedily to the challenges of the changing light.
For their opening task, the judges hand the artists only 4 hours to pigment an paradigm they come across every twenty-four hours inwards the bath mirror - their ain self-portrait. But for many, success isn't staring them inwards the human face upwards every bit they contend amongst proportion in addition to scale.
In the quick-draw challenge the artists direct maintain only thirty minutes to capture the likeness of a consummate stranger. And inwards their finally adventure to print earlier someone is sent home, the judges desire to come across how the artists contend amongst ii real well-known facesI'm already speculating every bit to what the adjacent 4 episodes are most - in addition to apart from beingness fairly certainly 1 is most "Still Life" I've no thought what they are about.
Looking at the book, I'm thinking Seascapes, Cityscapes in addition to People inwards displace are a goodness bet. I'm also guessing at to the lowest degree 1 challenge 1 mightiness good involve taking people out of their comfort zone in addition to getting them to usage fine art materials they're non used to.
