The Artists
The 10 artists who participated in the The Big Painting Challenge were the "last painters standing" from the 6,000 who applied to be part of this televised art competition
These are the websites of the artists involved in the series. The first link is to their page on the Bigger Picture website and then their website and social media links after that.
I look at hundreds if thousands of artists website each year and found it very interesting to look at the artwork on their websites and Facebook Pages. I suggest you take a look.

I've also really enjoyed it, the programme did a great job in conveying the concentration & skills required, and the stress of painting under pressure. I've been surprised at the amount of criticism of the criticism, I thought most of it was fair and accurate. A well deserved winner, he was in front from the start I felt.
