E170 | Portrait Artist Of The Year Contestant - Lloyd Lewis

Have you ever been rejected? It can be tough hearing no after no after no. Imagine being rejected 9 years in a row! This is what happened to the amazing artist Lloyd Lewis. He was rejected year after year when applying to be on Portrait Artist of The Year! Then, in the 10th application, he was accepted. We are going live on Monday to talk with Lloyd about this incredible journey of repeatedly applying and what it was like being on the show. We will dive into why he was so persistent, what he’s learnt from the rejections and experience, plus what’s next! You can watch Lloyd on Portrait Artist Of The Year series 11, episode 1 on Sky Arts or Now TV.
