We join the winner of this year's Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year as they travel to County Mayo to research their £10,000 prize commission.
Stephen Mangan hosts the grand finale with just three artists who have made it through to the last round of the competition.
Stephen Mangan presents the semi-final of Landscape Artist of the Year at the historic Ouse Valley Viaduct in Sussex.
In the fifth heat, with no pods to protect them, the artists have climbed aboard a WWII warship, HMS Wellington, on the River Thames.
The winner of this heat advances to the semi-final and takes another step closer to the prize - a £10,000 commission for the National Gallery of Ireland.
The artists are set up along the lake in London's St James' Park, looking out towards Buckingham Palace. They're hoping to create an artwork that catches the eye of judges.
Description

Through several rounds, winners are selected to advance to the semifinal, and then to the final. Judging the competition are British art historian Kate Bryan, independent curator Kathleen Soriano, and award-winning artist Tai-Shan Schierenberg.
