Picture Preview of Landscape Artist of the Year 2019 (Series 5) - starts 15th October

Sky Arts have announced that Landscape Artist of the Year 2019 starts on October 15th . 

The sad bit is as I'm in New York on the 15th but hopefully will be back in time to do a write-up of the first episode before the second episode on 22nd October - because I watch via the very nifty TV App! (see my post about how to watch if you don't have Sky).

The Sky Arts Team never ever broadcast the heats in the same order as they film them. I'm guessing they want to go for a good one for the first episode to get people hooked - and also to finish with a good one!

The timetabling of the Heats is going to be interesting given that Kate was having her baby in one of the ones in Gateshead! I think I've worked out the sequence based on what people have said so far.

This is my best guess at the timeline for all you #LAOTY2019 fans - so you can get your diaries sorted! Plus I've been able to identify a few of the artists involved - or at least those active on social media!

• 15 October Heat 1: Smeaton Tower - on Plymouth Hoe in Plymouth - filmed on 19 June (very sunny)

Lots of fun going to watch @SkyArts filming Landscape Artist of the Year on @PlymHoe this afternoon. You’ll have to watch the show to see the amazing artwork! #LAOTY pic.twitter.com/yRGTDP5IkZ

I am quite the multi tasker. Despite being in hospital under close observation for premature Rupture of Membranes during filming Heat 5 of Landscape Artist of the Year I still made it to the Judgementals album cover photo shoot. 😂 And without wanting to brag at my excellence, on the next day I made it for the Heat 6 photo despite being mid c section. #spotthedifference #thejudgementals #igetbywithalittlehelpfrommyfriends #laoty #skyarts #sotouched #theydoindulgeme #whoboughtthewig?#kathleensoriano #taishanschierenberg #stephenmangan #joanbakewell #katebryan #understudy #gateshead #landscapeartist2019

Bring your baby to work day! The Judgementals just got a new prop and she is very cute. Our first ever night shoot for the final of Landscape Artist of the Year. (Being up at 3am is nothing new for me!) That was one of our best finals yet, so good to be back to the series after going MIA with Juno for a bit. Thanks to the marvelous @ruthh_makeup for giving me a much needed polish and for the photos as always! #judgementals #2.0 #juno #landscapeartistoftheyear #skyarts @skyarts @skyartsartistoftheyear #laoty #batterseapowerstation #nightshoot #ontvsoon #thankgodforbreastpads
