"An ability to turn negatives into positives ignites a deep connection with this pairing, as Ross shares his own experience of battling drug addiction and finding light in discovering his passion to paint. Entirely self-taught, Ross uses unconventional methods, taking inspiration from the world of art and music and applying his unique, contemporary twist."
This is the first episode in the series that will feature a Scottish angle. The programme, made by Chatterbox Media for BBC One, has been popular with viewers, and continues to air on Mondays on BBC One.
