Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year

Looking forward to it! We base our weekly viewing around it along with Monday quiz night on the BBC. I wonder what the new judge will be like?

Yes we always watch it, have for years.
Hope the new judge has her own ideas. Makes for interesting conversation afterwards.

Thanks for the reminder.
I started watching it years ago and finally persuaded a reluctant DH to watch Portrait artist. He loved it and was very happy to watch the Landscape programme too!

Oh, and I hope that the new presenter is not too idiotic; I don’t understand why a “comedian “ is always chosen. I rarely find them funny.

I'm a bit confused! According to the previews the presenter is still Stephen Mangan.

I know there's a new judge - Kate Bryan is fronting a few Arts programmes now so maybe she's forging ahead with a TV based career.

I’m looking forward to it as well, although I usually disagree with the judges. Some of their comments on the paintings make me laugh.

I watched Potrait artist all through and then missed who won! I suppose I'll have to wait for the repeats...
It's pleasant easy viewing but sometimes the winning choices are odd.

Me too.

After reminding we art loving Grans to watch the new series -guess who completely forgot to watch it ?
It will be on again !

Always enjoy it but I’m often bemused by some of the paintings that look as if they’ve been done by my 8 year old DGD but get high praise from the judges. Others, that I think are simply wonderful are skated over. I must be missing something.

I forgot to watch it. Not sure if I can catch up.

I forgot to watch it. Not sure if I can catch up.

The same episode is usually on several times in the next 7 days.

7 pm tonight. I need to watch it again as I didn’t watch it properly last night.

It is repeated tonight on Sky Arts on freeview.

Some excellent work - and I agreed with the shortlist.

I almost never agree with the judges. There is some great talent which nearly always gets ignored.

I thought several lacked the majesty of the scenery. One was decidedly "twee" , but what do I know? 🤷

The new judge was pleasant enough but will reserve judgement. We liked Kate Bryon and was sorry to see her go. My dh grumbled that it should have been the Curator “who has too much to say “ and bosses the others around!!!

I liked the painting that won this week. I liked her submission piece too. I wasn't keen on the one with all the coloured lines, I would have picked the one with the two figures instead. I thought the Wild Card winner was amazing. Fancy being able to do that with impaired vision.

Half way through my favourite programme and I dozed off !
I was thoroughly enjoying it .
I'd liked Kim's painting .
I recall the visually impaired wild card .
Who won ?
