The thirteenth series of Sky Arts’ Portrait Artist of the Year features actors Lennie James, Sheridan Smith, and Vanessa Williams as the inaugural subjects. The show explores the delicate balance between the stress and satisfaction inherent in the portrait-painting process.
Art historian Katy Hessel joins the judging panel for this season, while Stephen Mangan returns to host the competition. Viewers can tune in to Sky Arts starting at 8pm to see if any of the celebrities share emotional moments with the artists attempting to capture their likenesses.
Sheridan Smith sitting for a portrait sounds hilarious. I wonder how patient she is while they capture her likeness!
Lennie James in a portrait? I love the mix of serious acting talent and creative competition on Sky Arts this season.
