All those greens!! You deserve a pat on the back for having a go Jen, you’ve managed a very good variation of tone and colour. I haven’t seen the program but it looks as if it was a difficult challenge.

I haven't watched this weeks programme yet but I gather from the forum that it wasn't up to much. Well done you for having a go, it looks great Jennifer. I don't like lots of greens either, very difficult to paint.

Aww Thank you Fiona. It was pretty much just a sea of green whilst they were doing it. They nearly all went into panic mode, and can you blame them?. It was a horrid subject to give them. They could have at least waited until Autumn for some colour. Poor people.

Thank uou Margaret. No it was awful this week. So difficult for them. Greens have to be one of the hardest thing to do. They can all go so samey.

I haven't seen the programme at all (don't have sky) but this is a nice drawing and I love your watery reflection.

Thank you Margaret. I think on the thread on the forum there's information on how to watch it if you don't have sky.

A good attempt Jen. As I have said on the forum, a really difficult challenge this week.

It really was Alan. Felt for them this week. It was worse than last week and that was bad with all the fog.

Watercolour and pen on mixed media paper. I decided I'm going to have a go at the sky arts challenge's, and see If I can paint something of where they have done their challenge that week. Obviously it's not plein air and I'm doing it without a tv crew or without the pressure of being in a competition lol, but I just wanted to interact more with the programme, see if I can get a feel of where they are coming from on their day. Wow this was horrid, all that green, all that flatness, to find something that peaked your interest. No wonder they all struggled. Landscape artist of the year material I am not but it was fun having a go, even if green is not my colour. Im going to try the other 3 now, if anything it's good practice and keeps me doing a bit.
