Series 2: 2. Nature
Mariella Frostrup and Reverend Richard Coles travel to the Cotswolds for the second episode of the amateur painting competition. Nine painters continue in the artistic bootcamp, which this week sees them working with their professional mentors, Diana Ali and Pascal Anson, to conquer paint-handling techniques to depict nature in all its glory.\n\nThe first task sees the artists try to capture the form and character of dogs Herbert and Nutmeg. Once the task is complete, the mentors continue their tutelage with masterclasses that have the artists painting with bark, moss, leaves and even underpants before moving on to the final challenge. They need to capture the majesty of the Acer Glade. For some this means painting outside for the very first time. Will they be able to cope with the changing light conditions?\n\nOnce completed, the canvases are viewed by members of the public, who give their favourite painter a pass straight through to the following week. The others must await the verdict the judges, Daphne Todd and award-winning landscape artist Fraser Scarfe, to see who is sent home.
