Felix Hi when a search of BR paintings is done and the key word is SPRNIG and lets say 50 paintings are displayed, what is the sequence of the painting you are providing. Thanks

      BStonebridge It will probably in chronological order unless anyone has an alternative suggestion?

          Could you maybe add a link on each painting in the /painting/ sub directory (so all of the episode paintings) that would allow us to tag directly from there?

          Maybe a link below the picture but above the video link? or to the right of the "view all deals" hyperlink below the lsit of needed colors

            @Felix, when all of them tagged will it stop giving us paintings to tag so we not overdo somebody else's work?

              Sunnylady Every painting can be tagged by multiple people. In the future I will (automatically) go over all the suggestions and combine the different submission.
              So no worry if you missed something when tagging a painting 🙂

                Paintings are now taggable directly from their details page:

                I've also added a "leaderboard" to the newsfeed-sidebar that shows the five users with the most tagged paintings:

                Huge thank you to everyone that has been tagging paintings! Especially @Colin Hudson , you've tagged so many paintings that I though I had an error in my code because I didn't believe the number at first 🙂

                If I cannot draw for toffee then I have to be useful in other ways to pay for the pleasure of looking at everybody's work

                How can you see what the tags are on a painting already? I know you can suggest them from the paintings, that's great but it doesn't show me what the existing tags are, or maybe I am looking in the wrong place?
                Not sure if it came up already, but can we have a tag for the paint type, so if it is a gesso background or gesso and oil, liquid clear etc, (like the rays of golden sunshine one, has gesso required background and gesso for the trees).

                  Hi @Mrs C#1701 - I think that everybody may have a different view on what meets the various criteria. Only having one persons view may hide some paintings from a search, so it may be better to have more than one view of the paintings. For that reason it may be better not to know what other people think? What do you think? I don't mind either way. Reviewing all the wonderful images is great fun. I recommend everybody to have a go. It will may give them a slightly different view when looking at objects.

                    @Mrs C#1701 The tags are not yet visible. They will appear once everything is tagged and finalized.

                    It may be a problem if other people do not review the paintings I have tagged BUT I cannot see the original BR lesson on the likes of Youtube because of limitations of copyright law and my UK location. I can only give my perspective from what I see as the final image. Sorry but I hope it gives a 'better than nothing' search criteria. I cannot see a lot of the Special tags details. Something people should know when they search on the criteria. Hopefully the special criteria will be identified whan others review the same pieces of work.

                      Adding various tags is a beautiful idea.
                      Unfortunately, I cannot watch the linked youtube-videos because they're not viewable in my country,
                      so I don't think I can help out except maybe with basic tags like seaside/desert, or seasons and stuff?

                        Hi Tirthurin - I too live in a country that cannot see individual BR show. Like you, I can only give a view of what I see in the painting BUT that is a huge start for people trying to identify pictures from the tabs. They might not be able to use the full range of tabs, such as guest painting etc, but being able to identify them using about 70% of the tabs will be a great help.
                        It is very important the more than one person gives their views on the tabs as different people see different things, such as is a painting showing Spring, Summer or Autumn?
                        Have a go and give it a try, you are not committing yourself to reviewing every single painting or within a fixed time. Your efforts will be, hopefully 8-), appreciated by members.

                          I think the videos are available directly on YouTube, even in the UK. They only disabled the option to view them on external sites. At least it was like that a while ago.

                            Felix - Hi Felix, I did try a couple of weeks ago but had no luck. I just tried again now and spent over 40 minutes trying to find Series 23 episode 12 (I think) but could not find it anywhere. I don't mind carrying on without the tutorials if you don't think other people could be led astray searching for specific tabs.

                                @Colin Hudson#1766 Hie thee hence and get thee a VPN. How else do you think I get the BBC? 😁

                                (One of these days I'm going to get a bill for 20 years of back licences.)

                                Plex haș a live streaming channel of just DR shows, one right after another. I have them running during the workday for background noise and the occasional "distraction" in a boring meeting 😃 I'll agree that Bill Alexander is harder to find shows on but I have bought two of his books via used book stores a few videos from their site. The only artist harder to find is Wyland. He had a show on PBS and sold DVDs but now the early DVDs are not available and there are zero shows on Youtube that I have been able to find. Good thing I bought DVDs a few years ago. I find a few older DVDs that are NOS on some mom and pop at supply shops or Ebay. I talked to the Wyland store in 2019 and they were trying to convince him to allow downloads and streaming but they said he was pretty anti-tech. I guess they never convinced him :/
