Popular presenting duo Joan Bakewell and Stephen Mangan are back as hosts of the new show following a successful run of Portrait Artist of the Year.
The eight episode series sees artists battling it out in five heats, a semi-final, and a final for a prize commission. It spans the width and breadth of the country and will challenge the artists with some of the most breath-taking and complex views the nation has to offer - including in Blackpool.
Landscape Artist of the Year is now being shown on Sky Arts, Freeview Channel 11, and streaming service NOW. The first episode aired on Wednesday, January 11.
