The Big Painting Challenge Final in Dartmouth - March 2015
The Big Painting Challenge was a programme featured on BBC One in March 2015 which led a nationwide search for Britain's best amateur artist.
The final programme focussed on seascapes and was filmed in Dartmouth, both at Britannia Royal Naval College and Bayards Cove.
The last challenge for the painters was to capture the light and atmosphere of an idyllic but visually complex scene - Dartmouth harbour.
