Portrait Artist of the Year | S02 E04 | Reel Truth Documentaries

[@mitsuomits9077]

Having a forest as a background for a sitting and the sitter in a sofa was kind of a weird choice. Still, I love this program so much and discovering so so sooo many artis and styles in every episode is so refreshing.

[@kissedbysun2517]

Listening to the judges critiquing, I got the feeling they were saying things because they think other art critics will critique their critiques. Lol. Oh, I think it's actually something very complicated masquerading as something simple. The paintings of the athlete were simply awful across the board.

[@artisthmarthalisa]

Completely agree with all you've said.

[@ColorMeRado]

Yes. I was disappointed with all her portraits

[@katewilliams9973]

Wow! Very happy surprise to see Hester Berry! She is one of my absolute favourite landscape painters. I took some of her painting classes online over the pandemic, really enjoyable

[@evelynbrogli830]

The entire show is just wonderful and inspiring.

[@gogo-word]

All 3 of the finalists had excellent work. Yes, it would be difficult to work in wax to produce such a fine painting. The layers required for a pointalist in just a few hours...whew! And Jack's painting is not cartoony in the slightest. He uses both technique and color in a sophisticated way. Bravo to all 3!

[@reasonablyserious]

I can't remember the names, but did he paint Greg Davies? If so, the first version of his face looked a lot better.

[@wetdroidedition2549]

27:34 Baby with FranK Zappa T-shirt is amazing

[@jeanniehargis4034]

Finally I agree with the judges. The winning portrait was awesome!

[@rachella8065]

I feel so bad for the female athlete, just looking at her I felt so inspired, ther could have painted her like a Greek goddess, very poweful set:(

[@connierosecoaching]

She was the hardest model to paint too though.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Young Mum got the likeness right away with just a few strokes... Amazing!

[@michaelsherck5099]

A lot of fun to watch, thank you for posting it!

[@patsymccown2766]

Glad I found this on KZbin to watch… Binge watch actually!

[@caitchri2426]

This is my favorite series right now. Thank you for uploading

[@rodrigocastillo204]

This is becoming the best part of my sundays ❤️ Thank so much for uploading these past episodes 👌

[@marymintz9147]

Greg Davies - "Are you saying I've got to support my own head? 'Cause I was led to believe I wouldn't have to."

[@Visiblementsaint]

ill be honest all of those who did the female athlete did a bad bad job

[@sandraford4235]

I agree

[@Dipsxi]

athletic females are tricky subjects, but i agree.

[@wetdroidedition2549]

So bad that sport lady choose the politically correct artist

[@Visiblementsaint]

​@@wetdroidedition2549 hahah i hope thats what she was aiming for cause it was probably the worst drawing i ever saw in a show hahahah

[@Watkinsstudio]

@@wetdroidedition2549 It's a sad state of mind to think a black person is a "politically correct" artist just because the sitter liked his portrait best.

[@jeffreypostma6832]

Nice to have an episode without the likeness discussion in the shortlisted artists. I thought all were great, but I can imagine having someone with an exotic technique swayed things in his favor. I loved the colors on the face in jacks version, and the palette knife techniques in Hesters work was lovely as well.

[@pauladouglas9891]

I think it is interesting that when the comments are really negative they don't show you which painting they are talking about.

[@JiveDadson]

I keep watching these. They make me angry. Then I keep watching these.

[@connierosecoaching]

24:36 I try to rush Frank Skinner hahahah and I expose how much it meant to me, which makes the end funnier... also not winning turned out to be one of the best things for me.

[@papabear2515]

These are wonderful! Thank you so much!

[@NickelCityPixels]

Someone should've painted the woman as a cel-shaded anime superhero!

[@cynthiamarston2208]

I thought the black guy made an amazing subject. I got used to the athletes form and look quickly. They really failed her. She would have resulted in an amazing and colorful painting

[@uginiopaka3376]

I completely agree. I think the artist didn't take the time to get to know the subject. They just slapped on some muscles and ignored her personality. :c

[@mitsuomits9077]

... I wanted to respond to your comment but Ugini Opaka said exacly what I wanted to say lol so I'll just say "Indeed" to both comments hahaha

[@IceCenders]

@@uginiopaka3376 Either that or it was legit a bad selection of drawers, as two of them didn't even try to paint her whole figure but still failed to capture her likeness.

[@tiagodagostini]

Drawing a muscular person requires a different set of skills than most portrait artists have. Body anatomy need a lot of knowledge to make it well. She woudl be indeed a FASTANTIC model, but for someone that was experienced in body and anatomy.

[@nonono275]

"you could grate cheese on that!!" this host is hilarious

[@reasonablyserious]

I've got to say, because I never noticed this before: Greg must be great to paint

[@leechild4655]

If only we could get Rick Wakeman to be a sitter. He would fit perfectly for this show.

[@stephanielight4161]

Love watching this show.👏👏👏

[@NV-xw5ok]

5:53 I thought they were being funny and wished for the man to say "No. I've always had to stand."

[@deniselini1366]

Thank you thank you!,!! Please more!!😄

[@leighguptill9244]

I like the show, for the most part... my biggest distraction is Frank Skinner. I wish he'd stop trying to be funny. Also, I wish he'd stop touching people.

[@IceCenders]

I agree. He's treading the line between funny, creepy and tacky.

[@sixstringnerveking]

Nick from last year looks like jessi from breaking bad.. nice show

[@ramkumarsunuwar8408]

first artist's portrait is extra one being his newly process of art i.e wax with Oil color .congrats.

[@lc9902]

Simply amazing!!!

[@KayInMaine]

All great artists this time around again! Love watching this show.

[@thepotterstop1263]

37:26 I'm so dead she was salty 🤣

[@connierosecoaching]

Yes that was me hahahahah get's me every time I see this sooo funny hahahh

[@connierosecoaching]

I've even had people make memes made of this hahahah

[@scole1400]

All were amazing artists

[@justagirlsd3000]

Love this show!

[@nishan3902]

guys, where can i get all the seasons of poaty to watch?i kinda fall in love with these....

[@cohenlabe1]

Only first 2 of 10 on Amazon prime 10 is on YT

[@nanettemorton4054]

Search "Portait Artist of the Year " in the KZbin search bar and a couple of seasons will come up-- they're on different channels

[@blackvulture7999]

Some of the Greg's portraits remind me of David Gilmour somehow. 🙃

[@TheBeezusjones]

I don't understand how you'd draw the under layer with charcoal without it totally muddying the paint colors..

[@artifexmom3824]

Awesome! ☺️❤️❤️❤️

[@artladybluntzer4112]

would Bill be the 1st American artist to make it in the finals?

[@cherylmk1]

No there was a couple of others. Wish I could remember season . They were both in same season finals

[@artladybluntzer4112]

@@cherylmk1 THANK YOU

[@enrikacardoen7146]

Ty😊

[@connierosecoaching]

Hahahahaha My expression and comment at the end is legendary! so funny every time I see this.

[@TheBeezusjones]

I don't get how that guy won when the shirt wasn't even done

[@Parrisart4u]

Bravo

[@kit-kat9466]

The creepy comments to the woman athlete were gross.

[@rayanesilva6496]

All artists were so talented

[@eymannassole6162]

What, the american has the biggest teeth, on a british show?😂

[@Rahn1908]

look how they massacred my girl...! The athlete ones were all awful... :D

[@MrOnetwoseven]

We need a Gordon Ramsey of critics added. You are all so knowledgeable but oh so nice. Pleasant but somewhat stuffy. Putting me to slumberland.

[@Watkinsstudio]

I disagree. The show is not about critics, it's about the artists.

[@enlisty]

Absolutely can’t stand Gordon Ramsey.

[@carrielamed9132]

The hosts were distructing them!

[@tickettochide3832]

the athletic woman's paintings...my 10 year old nephew could do better in 1 hour.

[@IceCenders]

Yeah she had the worst of luck, artist wise.

[@julieb7229]

Too Many Ad Breaks. It ruins the flow. Is this uploaded by Sky TV? Are they that in need of money that they need to chuck in an ad every 5 minutes?

[@srkg159]

not happy to see the outcome.....mostly the women ,,,,

[@wetdroidedition2549]

Only thing I don't like about this show is the use of token black artists guys who for most part of the show would be practically ignored.

[@Watkinsstudio]

You're wrong. Edward Ofosu is no token and Samira Addo and Curtis Holder were deservedly winners.

[@paulydee5106]

#2 of the female athlete was awful. Straight up awful. Amateurish at best.

[@wolfgangk1]

This was a bad batch of painters

[@milossiljko6819]

People from britain don't know to paint. Take that survey in Italy and Holand.

[@mitsukosuki]

all portraits were terrible to be honest

[@DS-ky9dl]

I don't like the photo and grid thing...seems like cheating.

[@Watkinsstudio]

Photos were used for almost all of the self portraits, though there were no time limits, no distractions, and they didn't have to stay at a distance to paint the sitter.

[@firdouschoudhury6401]

To be honest no painting was attractive.

[@richardwebb2348]

Is 'attractiveness' a pre-requisite?

[@Gumbus_]

ha, her face at 37:25
