37/40 Tom Croft returns to talk on Pushing Colour In Portraiture, which is about taking risks with use of colours. At least he talks like he's actually giving a lecture, and aware that it's a situation which calls for some humour.
38/40 Similarly, Stuart Jarvis talks on Creating Textures In Charcoal Landscapes, and makes it feel that he's not doing anything that couldn't be done by a viewer. By covering the whole canvas in charcoal, he can use a number of rubbers to add white to his picture, as well as using charcoal for the dark areas.

39/40 Jude Wainwright talks on Narrative in Portraiture, which becomes the nearest the series has got to surrealism, as she cobbles together a painting based on a dream, with 3 printed pix put together as a guideline.
40/40 The final edition brings back watercolourist Charles Williams to talk on Improvising With Watercolour, in which he makes 3 pictures, taking in turns to add to each one, and what seem like random daubs end up as pictures of a horse, a monkey, and a trumpeter. Both these editions were more freeform than others in the series.
Overall, whilst I enjoyed this 2nd series, it left me less interested to take up painting/drawing than the 1st did, and I hope there's a longer break before any 3rd series.
