Review: Episode 2 of Landscape Artist of the Year 2022 - Compton Verney Grounds
This review of the second episode of the final episode of Landscape Artist 2022 on Sky Arts is a little different.
There are two reasons for this :
- The artists selected were all three amateur artists - and I can't remember anything that happened before (that doesn't mean it didn't happen)
- I notice every week (it turns out) the need to remember
- Don't just focus on thermal redesign . Who should go to the semi-finals, but also pay particular attention to registrations.
- And so... I decided to challenge myself to write once the reviews were reviewed by the judges - which I thought would be resolved by the end of the round.
This review also covers:
- Place and time
- Characteristics of artists
- Themes that appeared during the episode
- Who was elected and who won.
Episode 2: Brown's Ability to Design Compton Verney Land
 |
| The landscape was designed by Capability Brown |
The episode was on Compton Fernie .
However, the protagonist of the thematic exhibition was a plot designed by Lancelot Capability Brown , a British gardener and landscape architect . I didn't count how many times his name was checked on the program, but it was a lot.
"Absolutely wonderful - and fake as hell!"
The challenge is how to improve a point of view that is already an artistic creation.
[ Note: Compton Verney is also the gallery website celebrating Portrait Artist of the Year - see my Gallery blog post: Portrait Artist of the Year (2013 - 2021) ]

It started out cloudy, then looked a bit overcast, followed by a short spell of heavy rain, then sunny cloudy skies.
More of them later....

In this link you can see the profiles of the artists . For some reason it wasn't preset, so hit the "publish" button after the episode aired.
What surprised me - as I've made my copy of their profiles below - is how much LOOTY has left behind on what these artists have done in the past!
Five professional artists took part . It was:
- Brian Hindmarch [ Gallery | Profile | Facebook ] - printmaker for over 50 years - also works as a designer and teacher and was Professor of Graphic Design at Bradford College of Art, from 1992 to 2013. He currently works out of a studio in Ilkley and applies a wide range of graphic design techniques and processes, including photography, engraving, typography, lithography, screen printing and embossing. He is particularly interested in the interpretation of natural history, environment and landscape in his work, which includes original mixed media artwork and limited edition prints.
- Chloe Letisir [ Instagram | Twitter ] I moved from Guernsey to London in 2002 to study at the Slade School of Fine Arts (2002-2006), where I graduated in painting. In 2010, she was offered a place in a year of painting at the Royal School of Painting. In 2012 she was selected to take part in the Threadneedle Prize Exhibition and in 2016 she won the second prize selected for the Sunday Times Watercolor Exhibition . (I knew I knew the name!). She works (when not on maternity leave) as office manager and president of the Courtauld Gallery.
- Síle Walsh [ Instagram ] - A self-taught artist from Waterford, Ireland, she returned to her full-time professional art practice in 2017 after raising her children. He participated in the Portrait Artist 2018, broadcast in 2019. He likes graphic blocks, precision and straight lines. Here you can see examples of its landscape
- Angela Webb - [ Facebook | Instagram ] is a Scottish artist (and former architect) who lives and works in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. He regularly attends art festivals and studio openings (eg Warwickshire Open Studios) and teaches seminars for art schools and associations. He works mainly in oil, likes structures and perspectives, and often works in a square format. These are examples of his landscapes .
- Patrick Wilkins [ Instagram ] - He was born in Rochester and now lives in Broadstairs in Kent. He had a career as an engineering designer and has been designing engineered products for over 30 years. His career turned into a serious illness in 2012 and he is now a pencil maker, working with colored pencils (and technical pencils and acrylic gouache) and a member of the Graphic Arts Association (SGFA). He has also exhibited extensively at the Arbitrators/Open Gallery in the UK including UKCPS, RBA, RBSA and Margate Turner Contemporary Open Gallery. It 's his submission
Here I am tonight, Sky Arts at 8 p.m. My only request filmed a long time ago in Compton Ferney in Warwickshire was "Don't give me green fields and a lake to paint" so it turned out well. ( Announcement on Patrick's blog )There were also three amateur artists on the LOOTY Pods.
- Marco Bonello [ Facebook | Instagram ] - Originally from London, he now lives on the North Antrim coast in Northern Ireland. He is a self-taught artist who works as a truck driver and contrary to the words of his mentor at the time, "he actually looks out the window to earn a living" . In 2021, he launches his company with ROI. He paints the sweet air with his truck cab as a sketch. Having four hours to paint is her idea of luxury, but rural landscapes won't be her first choice for a theme. It was her presentation , which looked the best on TV.
- Afshin Nasir [ Instagram ] - I am from Karachi, Pakistan. She is self-taught and works as a civil servant. He paints landscapes in oil, but this is the first time he has painted "en plein air". She attended the Summer Show at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2019 and has previously appeared in ' Show with the Monet '. It is his submission.
- Justin Warner [ Instagram ] - is a textile and multimedia artist who is also known as the " lady who paints with a tie ". His trademark is " Pearl loves Paisley " and he creates unique works inspired by nature made with vintage ties, materials and found objects. From exhibiting at the Village Gallery, I've been to opening trade shows, art festivals, an art gallery in Helmsley and studios in North Yorkshire . She was also an artist based at Yorkshire Arboretum and you can watch a video of her on YouTube. Those interested in what it does and how it does it will be pleased to know that Zoom offers online courses . It's his submission

I wish I could look at the contributions as I consider them important , but for some reason the person in charge of the cameras and the person taking the photos have not yet received this message.
And then we rarely see an image that gives us a view of the landscape that's all lined up next to each other - like in the narrow list step - where we can't see the thermal panels next to each other . All we see is that they are hiding behind artists waiting to be shortlisted.
In competition you can make decisions by comparing one image to another, so I consider it an important part of the program to see all the images together.
We need to see that the controls are matrixed and the thermal graphs are online.
Instead, in the interpret phase, this is what we get
