I can't believe it. The judges actually picked the best artist TWO WEEKS in a row!!!! I never thought that I'd live to see this day.

Do you even know how subjective Art is?

@AFAskygoddess 2 ай бұрын

@jeremiah1059 , yes, I do. I am an award winning portrait artist in Florida. I submitted a watercolor painting in a competition twice this year. I didn't even receive an honorable mention in the first competition. Two months later, I submitted the same painting in another competition and won first place. So much for you questioning my ability to understand the subjectivity of judging art (note the art isn't capitalized).

15:20 he’s super smart and thinking on his feet, that’s why. Because by penciling it, and he can always erase it, rather than if he had painted it, and then that’s more mess to fix. And he’s using acrylic instead of his regular oil because he doesn’t want to run out of oil paint for his final, so that he has plenty of choices. These are great time saving and resource saving ideas, given that he’s on limited time and limited resources.

Why does every episode contain some totally stupid comment(s) about using digital references, as if the use of devices makes the artist "less competent"? I mean, here are a bunch of artists doing their best to produce a compelling portrait in 4 hours of sitters who often fidget and move around while the artists are trying to paint them. On top of that, the artists are constantly being interrupted by the hosts and camera crews. I often wonder if the idiots who have issues with the use of devices have ever tried to make realistic art themselves, or if they have any knowledge of art history where it has been common to use devices such as the camera obscura and photography as tools to capture a realistic likeness of their subjects. It's not like PAOTY is judging AI generated images...These artists are actually using real media to create their works. Oh yes, let's go back to the stone age when there were "real" artists who didn't rely on technology. Perhaps we should fault the artists on this program for using commercially produced paints instead of grinding their own pigments like they did in the "good old days".

@@jekalambert9412 I don't think its about artists being "less competent" but the point of LIVE models is that they're, well, live. They could all say 'Shows a wrap! Everyone go home and bring your portraits back in tomorrow!' because they've captured all they need to on a phone. Being forced to paint from pure observation ONLY is more difficult. You spend far more time staring at the model than your own canvas and its a ton more fun. We all have access to the internet, to photos, and can practice painting from photo references at home. Not everyone has the privilege of getting to paint from live models. You simply stretch different muscles when translating a 3D form to 2D and 2D to 3D. In comparison to translating 2D to 2D. The cool thing about Impressionism was that it was all about capturing a moment in time. You could revisit the same time and place all you wanted but it might never be the exact same. Doing a live painting in one sitting is similar. Personally, as long as the artists are spending majority of the time looking at the model and not the device/digital photo I think its fine. My understanding of PAOTY is that it was never about making the most "realistic" or "technical" art but showcasing your OWN point of view.

I really don’t think any of them were really great. Lucy’s was the best. The rest were just mediocre or worse in my opinion. How Robs got picked I don’t know. His self portrait was my favorite by far but his work in the competition looked odd. The eyes (to me) looked off, and the entire face looked flat or something.

Sorry, I don't know who Alistair or Alastair Campbell is, however, I found him extremely annoying & disrespectful. He was asked to keep still and he didn't. Plus there's the talking & attempts at being funny and clever. smh...I mean, I could be totally wrong about him but that's what I saw. Oh! almost forgot, the judges chose the right artist. Everyone was good though.

@wonderrob3225 4 ай бұрын

These artists often paint from a photograph they've taken with their phone, even when the live model is present. This approach may seem mechanical and uninspired, yet the show's judges, who often come across as pretentious, might not grasp such nuances.

@katalinelo8011 4 ай бұрын

The sitters have breaks in which the painters are still allowed to continue (also they allowed to continue during the lunchtime). Without technology it would be very difficult. Also the sitters are fidgeting, it is better to have a reference image of the original pose. I do hope though that most artists are also looking at the actual model not just their screens.

@@katalinelo8011 In this episode, one individual was shown completely tracing the photograph on her laptop. A photograph represents a further step away from the reality experienced in person. We possess a wide variety of photographic devices already. There is no reason to recreate that. I would urge contemporary artists to react to the prevalence of cameras and AI-generated imagery just as the Impressionists responded to the emergence of photography.

I'm an artist with myopia. I just can't paint wearing my glasses. I can't see clearly three feet away without my glasses. The sitters are placed farther away than if they'd been alone in their studio. There's nothing wrong with using a photo. If you'd have seen all four hours of them working, I'm certain they approached the sitters close up multiple times. Also, drawing and painting are completely different skills.

these artists are corny, and they trace from phones and tablets. We don't need artists to explain or depict photography. This has been true since the impressionists

@tiwantiwaabibiman2603 4 ай бұрын

You haven't a clue about what WE artists do to create our artwork especially in a short period of time. European artists were using the "camera-lucida as early as the 15th century. They weren't "tracing" from their phones. They were referring to the photos in their phones for very real practical and technical reasons. Again especially given the shirt time they have and two of the sitters are constantly moving and changing their positions. You're not an artist, so ST#U.
