As Sky Arts’ Landscape Artist of the Year returns to our screens, Warwickshire’s Compton Verney presents a chance to revisit its portrait counterpart. Curated by show judge Kathleen Soriano, Portrait Artist of the Year (19 February to 5 June) features 120 paintings by former contestants, including this fun self-portrait by last season’s winner, Calum Stevenson. www.comptonverney.org.uk
