Curtis Holder draws Dame Judi Dench in 10th anniversary episode of Portrait Artist of the Year on Sky Arts

Written By Curtis Holder

The tenth series of Portrait Artist of the Year returns this autumn with a special Portrait Artist of the Decade episode, which will see the winners of past series of Portrait Artist of the Year return once more to Battersea Arts Centre to paint iconic actress, Dame Judi Dench.

The 90-minute special will celebrate one of the world’s most acclaimed actors and delve into the stories of the previous winners and their careers since they won. 

It was a joy to be back behind the easel alongside fellow past winners and an honour to meet and draw Dame Judi Dench - a unique and special experience.

Watch Portrait Artist of the Decade on Sky Arts at 8pm on Wednesday 04 October to find out how we all got on.
