I am, funkychick, I watched the first series as well. I was always a fan of Watercolour Challenge on Channel 4 with Hannah Gordon presenting it. I like watching a blank canvas slowly turn into a work of art, if I see a street artist I have to be dragged away or I stand there all day.
If it were not for Thomas Edison, we would all be watching television in the dark.

I think I can learn a lot from it too

This should keep you busy for a while then Dave. I posted it on the General Random about a year ago and have linked it here:
It was taken in 1983 in Salzburg.

I enjoy watching it but Sky Arts Portrait Painter of the Year is also excellent, has anyone seen it?
A few years back I loved the pictures by 3d pavement artists like this one.

Another form of street art is the use of spray can paint, not graffiti but on canvas. Sheila and myself were lucky enough to see it created whilst on holiday and went back the next night to watch it all over again. Who would have thought something you use to touch up scrapes on car paintwork could produce results like this video shows.

Very good, Dave. I just wish the person taking the video had kept his camera still - I hope it wasn't you. :D
