The Big Painting Challenge
Anyone watching this?Now, I'm no artist, but I thought there was some heavy criticism on the second still life (a room). I thought some were pretty good, but the judges were too harsh or negative, imo.
One contender was accused of wanting to be the centre of attention...a painting I liked.
Still, as I said...what do I know?
And the one person I thought would go out has been praised! Whaaaaaat???

About a month ago, I was talking to someone who has just taking up painting. He loves it and made me feel I would love to try as well, and this is why I watched this programme tonight.I was a bit disappointed.
Like Jazzi, I was disappointed in the judges reactions and comments, because I thought the painters tried really hard and were mostly quite good.
I did also find the programme a bit dull though, I guess I had hoped for a bit more in the way of advice and tuition.
I shall probably give it a miss next week.

I caught most of it but was so disgusted I won't be watching it again. I saw a daub that was supposed to be a bedroom scene praised, and the woman who owned up to it apparently won. I saw no bed, no chair and nothing other than a mess of paint. If that's what passed for art, this is one viewer who obviously doesn't see the point of real talent.13-02-2017, 09:47 AM

Re: The Big Painting Challenge
Well we liked it. Its nice to see all the different styles and get to see a bit about each of the artists as you go through the weeks.As with last year week one and two are often a bit chaotic because they start with so many people but the artists and their stories grow on you as the weeks go on.
Is anyone watching the pottery throw down?
