SKY ARTS LANDSCAPE PAINTING CONTEST 2015 BEGINS
Landscape Artist painting competition
After the huge success of its painting show, Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, a
new series is back with a twist. A landscape painting competition by Sky Arts.
Here at Cass Art we are delighted to support the inaugural landscape art series, a
programme that explores the beauty of the British countryside as the artists tour
famous National Trust sites. Tune in for another unmissable season of painting in
action.
Charming presenters Joan Bakewell and Frank Skinner are returning to the show,
alongside the previous Sky Arts judges Tai Shan Schierenberg, Kathleen Soriano and
Kate Bryan.

2. Sky Arts Landscape Artist Judges
The programme aims to discover talented countryside artists of all capabilities,
whether they are amateurs, professionals or hobbyists, and sees them painting
some glorious settings across the UK's landscape - come rain or shine! The episodes
will take place in the grounds of glorious National Trust sites including Waddesdon
Manor, Trelissick and Lyme Park, and the winner is awarded a £10,000 commission,
which will be added to the National Trust's permanent art collection.
The first episode is aired on Tuesday 6th October, at 8pm on Sky Arts. The series
follows the entrants as they paint their way to be crowned the winner.
