This episode travels to Middleton Hall in Staffordshire to paint an Edwardian socialite in the style of celebrated portrait painter, John Singer Sargent. To paint a portrait in Sargent's masterful style is a real challenge for even the most skilled artist and the three students are both excited and daunted about giving it a go. Myatt explains how they need to find the flamboyance and gusto for which Sargent was famous, teaching them to lunge at the canvas with their paintbrushes, but they all seem a little unsure...Meanwhile, he reminisces about the time he was released from Brixton Prison. Sure he would never paint again, he was surprised by a call from the man who had arrested him.
