• Royal Ascot – which has a dress code see Joan Bakewell and Stephen Mangan previously mentioned – dressed for motion! It really is also quite possibly a person of the most tough locations the artists have at any time been questioned to paint.

• Blackpool  (in June 2022): 
• just one warmth took place on the Blackpool Pleasure Beach front on what appears really like a bleak breezy day on the Lancashire Coast – see the video beneath by Visit Fylde Coastline (who fairly amusingly thinks it is “Watercolour Challenge” for most of the movie) of presenters sat acquiring a dialogue the painters in their pods and the wild cards
