It became something of a cult program, as a lot of proffessional artists stopped work to watch it on daytime TV (myself included!) <br /><br />So the format for the current show is already tried and tested. <br /><br />Long may it continue.<br /><br />Coral GuestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-24628226101057030282015-02-26T09:29:00.828+00:002015-02-26T09:29:00.828+00:00Most interesting post, Katherine .

Perhaps it will help the general public to realise how versatile CP is. <br />I assume Una was chosen as a presenter because she had two paintings in last years RA Summer Exhibition.<br />See the current Radio Times !!!

I get the feeling the general public have some empathy for us contestants and not a lot of patience for the judges but I guess with all TV programmes there is a format they are required to follow. This is the first in what I hope will be an annual series and I hope the beeb will take some of the feedback that has been provided and tweak it some...<br />I have to say we were the pioneers in this show and as we had no precedents we weren't sure what to expect. Those who follow behind us will always have a better advantage; they will know the format and that makes a lot of difference.<br />I don't think any of us were bad or mediocre artists but all of us (having spoken with the others) struggled to adjust to a new way of creating our art. It's a pity they aren't showing so much of our 'back stories' considering they filmed with us at home for about 14 hours on average but without a doubt the passion was there.<br />personally i'd like to make some notes to pass on to the beeb based on my experience I hope will help future shows.<br />The one thing I can say, I thoroughly enjoyed the process and would do it all again... With the benefit of hindsight of course ;-)<br />Anne<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05901951350918360040noreply@blogger.com
