Heats / Filming opened upward to the public

The contest invites artists shortlisted from the entries to ane of vi heats inward London inward Apr 2017.

“Portrait Artist of the Year brings together some of the most talented painters amongst some of the most striking personalities. We reckon artists locomote brush, paint, pastels, charcoal to capture the elusive beauty of people whose faces nosotros call back nosotros know. But fine art reveals more: too inward each programme nosotros sentry it happen.” Joan Bakewell

Sky volition survive filming all six heats of the Portrait Artist of the Year 2019 inward "a London location" (to survive decided) during April/May 2018. All the heats are opened upward to the public. Current planning indicates that filming of the Heats volition house on the next dates (but dates are bailiwick to change).

Heat 1 – Tuesday 24th Apr 2018
Heat 2 – Wednesday 25th Apr 2018
Heat 3 - Thursday 26th Apr 2018
Heat 4 – Friday 27th Apr 2018
Heat v – Monday 30th Apr 2018
Heat 6 – Tuesday 1st May 2018
Heat vii - Wednesday 2d May 2018
Heat 8 - Thursday 3rd May 2018

I'm guessing at to the lowest degree 2 of these dates are reserves for educate strikes or disease etc. thus they tin motility people to a greater extent than or less if necessary.

Shortlisted Artists volition survive asked to make an artwork depicting a Portrait of a Sitter allocated past times the Producer (i.e. you lot don't larn to choose!)

The Shortlisted Artists volition cause got a maximum of 4 hours over a 6 lx minutes menses (or such other menses every bit the Producer at its discretion may determine) to consummate their Heat Artwork.

Your prototype is judged on the results produced at the cease of heat, whether you lot call back the artwork to survive finished or not. In price of the shortlist of three, the self-portrait volition too survive taken into account.

Hence the self-portrait you lot shipping inward amongst your entry is actually important:

it's going to survive a fundamental argue why you lot got selected for the Heats
it mightiness tending you lot larn the Heat Winner
if there's a major discrepancy betwixt the self-portrait too the portrait produced inward the Heat, you lot are unlikely to drib dead along farther - unless you lot exercise fifty-fifty ameliorate than expected! One aspect of the "quid pro quo" for the celebrity sitters is that they each larn to select ane of the finished portraits to maintain for themselves (on permanent load) – regardless of whether that creative soul went through to the side past times side stage. So fifty-fifty if you lot don't larn through you lot may survive able to say your paintings is at nowadays inward the sitter's collection.

It tin alter your life fifty-fifty if you lot don't larn to the final!

So if you lot desire to create a WOW inward 2019.....
