Portrait Artist of the Year

Joan Bakewell and Frank Skinner begin their search for Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year in London, where artists are asked to paint stars such as Alison Steadman.

Frank Skinner and Joan Bakewell take the competition to Dublin where 21 artists hope to wow the judges with portraits of Pauline McLynn, David Rawle and Lethal Bizzle.

The penultimate stage of the competition takes the four finalists to the French Capital, where they have six hours to paint author and model Sophie Dahl.

Join the winning artist as they plan, paint and unveil their £10,000 commission to capture Booker Prize-winning author Hilary Mantel for the British Library.
