Sky Arts LANDSCAPE Artist of the year Series 2, 8.00 pm Tue 11 Oct
Just a heads up.
They've finished the heats for both Landscape and Portrait Artist of the Year 2016 and looks like there will be 2 programmes this autumn. The second series of the Landscape competition starts on 11th October at 8.00 pm on Sky Arts channel, where each week artists will be painting on location at various National Trust properties. Once again, Joan and Frank presenting, with Tai Shan Schierenberg, Kathleen Soriano and Kate Bryan judging. NEWS for fans of the Portrait series - Series 3 of Portrait Artist of the year 2016 to follow later this autumn. Dates still to be advised. Will keep a look out. http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-program...st-of-the-year http://www.skyartsartistoftheyear.tv/landscape |

Loved 'Portrait' but for some reason just can't get into 'Landscape'. I will try again this series though. Maybe it's because I felt like more professional full time artists took part in 'Landscape'.
I've also been thoroughly enjoying 'Britain's Lost Masterpieces' on BBC4. |

Just in case anyone missed it, as there's few painters and creative people on DS that especially enjoyed the portrait painting competition. The landscape version is back tonight at 8, Sky Arts. Portrait artist of the year, billed to also return later this autumn. Frank Skinner and Joan Bakewell hosting again.

Which is the one with Una Stubbs presenting it? Always sounded like she was about to burst into tears.

For those with Sky Q and a 4K/UHD TV this is Sky's first programme in the new format.
It's available in catch-up and it looks stunning. |

There were MrsJ and I watching, thinking "well he's not going to win", then the judges have some sort of taste-inversion. Will enjoy watching regardless, and just wish I could do something half as good.

I always seem to agree with the judges on Portrait but never on Landscape.

Thanks very much for the info. I have a Now TV box which I received for my birthday in June and these programmes were some of the first I watched. Cannot wait!

Last night was SO much better! What happened?
Tempting fate haha, but they actually loved the ones you could recognise! haha. My favourite was the Gherkin cityscape entry, but with the perils of painting live, her landscape didn't quite work on the day. The judges aren't usually fans of photo-realism paintings, but so glad they could see how good the chap was who went through. Weren't the triplets fascinating. Identical sisters, side by side, painting a tryptic together in unison. A canvas each, (although they couldn't resist adding the odd dab of paint to one another's) but entered as a whole. Their painting style was identical too! |

I've agreed with the judges so far, but they messed up last night - that girl who was sticking bits of material on and was painting them? That reminded me of art lessons at school in the 60s, lol (that material collage idea is so 60s!)... I preferred the work by the guys - much better. (It would be good if Sky Arts put photos of the pictures of the last three each week on their website, but they haven't? Pity - I'd like to see each one again, without having to rewatch the programme.)

Tai Shan Schierenberg is just the coolest name.

The artist with no arms was so good and it's amazing how much detail he can draw and paint with his feet, although wish I wasn't eating cheese when they showed his feet lol.
I've really liked the paintings more this series than last. |

I've really liked the paintings more this series than last. This has been head and shoulders better than previous landscape series. I've even agree with a few decisions, not this week though. They admitted some snobbery to anything a bit arts and crafts but thought the lady who "painted" with wool was exceptional, not only gorgeous detail, but quirky. My goodness though there have been a couple of dodgy ones, with vast differences in skill between the submission and the one on the day!

Wasn't he fascinating to watch, Woodbine. Seeing how he mastered alll the precision on his silk painting, ah it was soaked with that torrential rain, such a shame. Glad someone's watching.

Well when I say dodgy, it's probably my suspicious mind working overtime, but a couple of week's ago, there was one of the main entrants, whose submission painting was impressive and almost like a photograph because of it's realism. Now obviously they have far longer to work on them, than the 4 hours of the competition, but his painting on the day imo seemed very basic in comparison. Then I noticed he was missed out completely by the judges in the critique of the final paintings, so then thought surely no-one would be mad enough to blag their way on, maybe with little ability, just to get on the telly!

I couldn't believe the winner this week over the woman who worked in wool, hers was miles stronger in my eyes, I thought she was amazing. The winners looked like something I could of knocked up to be honest, it was definitely the weakest bunch this week.
I'd love an extra show for fans who want more where another presenter walks around and chats more to the wildcards, you never really see them for long and quite often lots are better than the main artists. |

I too thought that the wool lady should have won last week. Her piece was miles more original and interesting than the winner's picture, which I wouldn't even have put in the top 3, nevermind chosen as the winning painting. For the first time this series I thought the judges got it totally wrong.
The handicapped artist was an inspiration. Such a shame that the rain ruined his work. |

Anyone catch the Semi Final last night? Obviously the National Trust houses and grounds are gorgeous, but was glad to smell some sea air for a change!
Repeated 6.00 pm tonight and again at 7 pm on Friday. ![]()

Yes, I agree. Been watching and enjoying immensely, as usual.
I've liked the various techniques that have been shown this series: silk-painting, printmaking, collage, felting, stencilling and so on, whilst still seeing some excellent painting and drawing too. (And some not so, perhaps ) But I have been surprised at the judges apparent lack of knowledge of some of the methods used. They sounded as though they had never come across pen and wash before ( for example, in the overall wild-card winner's work)!As usual I haven't always agreed with the judges, but it must be really difficult to choose from such a variety of styles/techniques/interpretations. As an aside, I found on a sky arts facebook page, that Portrait Artist is currently in production, and will be aired ''sometime'' in 2017. I shall really really look forward to that! |
