About Watercolour Challenge
Watercolour Challenge ended on 1999-06-02. The show aired its final episode on that date on Channel 4.
Watercolour Challenge was a painting competition series that debuted in 1998. It featured a trio of amateur artists who competed to complete a watercolor painting within four hours. Each day, the winner of the challenge advanced to a final round on Friday, with the overall winner moving on to an eventual grand final. The series aimed to test the artists' skills and creativity under time constraints.
The series was hosted by Hannah Gordon. It was a 30-minute show that ran for two seasons, with a total of 49 episodes in the first season. The second season consisted of only a single episode, which aired on June 2, 1999.
