Master the Creative Challenge! - Portrait Artist of the Year

[@chrisdeoni1697]

My 🏆 winner pick: La Tzarina ANASTASIA/ Benjamin portrait. She captured the effervescence of his presence, and the color pallet was stunning. The portrait is very lively with terrific likeness.

[@oliviacasino8888]

Totally agree!

[@chrisdeoni1697]

@oliviacasino8888 At first, I thought Patrick MORALES would be the best candidate when I saw the astonishing eye he created of the Olympian. Why did he think it was a good idea to bathe his final fabulous work in that schizophrenic black tea? She looked like that devil possessed girl in "The Exorcist." Go figure 🤔! It's my favorite show!!!

[@oliviacasino8888]

Thank you Banijay Home and Garden for these postings…so appreciated from California!

[@ChananyahYash]

Patrick had a winner @28:00 but he murdered it with the charcoal wash! Leanne was ROBBED!!!

[@dianefields6056]

I did like Anastasia Rosser's painting. A good characterful moment was captured.

[@martinitime3537]

This is the first time I agreed with the 3 chosen paintings - and the number one choice as well 👍

[@rolf6421]

What a steal Leanne deserve the win, the likeness was incredible 😮 (her portrait was stunning too) All finalist were strong Its still my favorite show ever 🎉

[@brendadoyle643]

Yea! Love the winner!

[@VIncentSunflowers]

The artists' submissions, imo, outshone their results. Marcia Patterson's self-portrait really impressed me, as well Ruby Scott Gatiss' submission. A fun twist to the competition would be, after the first portrait, allowing the artists to switch to the subject of their choice!

[@enrikacardoen7146]

Again a new one for me 😃

[@franceslazu1784]

So hsppy with the winner!! Great job 👏

[@enrikacardoen7146]

😢so not happy with the winner, Lian deserved that win but hey I'm not the judge

[@feverdreamer6870]

I agree! Liane needs to be brought back for the semi-final. Her portrait of Jim was so wonderful!

[@janepage3608]

Having said Owen’s portrait wasn’t a good likeness, then the judges give him the prize! Crazy.

[@hansvandenberg6464]

I agree with the judges choice, some other episode I did not. I think that is ART as it is. What you like I don't and vice versa. This week candidates took on a bit to much for my liking which ended in some less great results.

[@AFAskygoddess]

At least the judges didn't pick an artist that traced the likeness on the canvas, like they did a few weeks ago. Ever week I pray the producers will replaces the judges. Every episode, I am disappointed.

[@jillp3761]

That tracing a picture won a competition with a time limit blew my mind in the worst way, I still feel that it was cheating, and TOTALLY unfair to the other artists who had to CREATE a likeness. Creating a likeness from scratch takes much more time and talent than tracing, which took about five minutes, therefore giving her an immense time advantage. Frankly it left me disgusted with the judges......

[@Weesperbuurt]

Sad that Zephania has since passed away in December 2023.

[@RamonDatur]

I totally disagree with the verdict. His portrait was the worst.

[@Sylviasdaughter-po8we]

The judges are age biased. Always looking for a “young” talent.

[@hansvandenberg6464]

then I don't know how many years and episodes you have watched, they never do. they always look for talents that promises something new and can maybe even surprise us more in the final than they already did before. But I think the winner will be glad you call him "young" talent :D

[@ddahstan6876]

Gotta say if speedy Rubby had concentrated on one piece, i think she could have smoked her painting away.

[@queen_sized]

The last artist who drew Ellie….. horrible
