Review: Episode 2 of Landscape Artist of the Year 2018
Episode 2 of Landscape Artist of the Year 2018 was filmed at Viking Bay at Broadstairs in Kent in June 2018.
Below you can find:
This episode had me really wondering why Storyvault Films doesn't do a better job of checking whether people have ever painted plein air before.
The joy of this series comes from watching people who can paint plein air and produce a decent painting at the end of it. The more who can do it the more pleasurable the episode is.
It didn't take too long to suss out this episode was going to be very different from the one last week.
There are six heats - and two were painted at each location. So it's clear that whatever order they are filmed in is not the order they are presented in - otherwise we'd be having Heat 2 of Fountains Abbey this week.
In this instance Episode 2 was actually Heat 4!
[NOTE: At the end there's an update from the Heat Winner about some of the points raised in this post]

| Pods on Viking beach at Broadstairs EITHER they were up incredibly early OR the public don't frequent the beach when it's grey! |
