Synopsis
Amateur artists turn their hand to life drawing. They take turns to disrobe and model while the rest of the group paints them. Best artist - as judged by the model - wins a cash prize. The same group remains with us all week.
The artists are amateur, hobbyists, doing it for fun. We don't get art as good as Portrait Artist of the Year, though there are little hints and tips for the aspiring life artist. There wasn't that much nudity in the first series, which undermined half the gimmick of the show, but such are the perils of a teatime commission, where you can't show those bits, or those bits, and you certainly can't air that.
The second series gained a superfluous subtitle, The Big Naked Painting Challenge. Diana Ali was absent, for no adequately explained reason, but remained in the credits as an Art Consultant. The show gained a Dave Lamb, in the form of Martin O'Byrne. Professional life models were used, presumably because the producers had emptied the well of artists willing to strip off, and drawers rated their competitors' art out of ten - with the model breaking the tie if necessary.
