Hi Banijay Please can you put the series and episode numbers. It’s so frustrating not having continuity in the viewing experience. This is such a great show, thanks for putting these up.

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Its in the discription if you click. I think its because it will get pulled down maybe if its in title

[@kokoslores9666]

Good choice! Kat deserved to win because her portrait is just perfect. Like the judges said: When you look at it there is not only a portrait but a whole story. Love it!

[@Qwijebo]

Tattoo your eyeballs? Yikes!

[@nataliemcandrews9092]

You have to up that prize. It’s been $10000 for years 😊

[@binxiao6175]

Don’t-understand the shitstorm here about Gabrielle’s hair. It is very 1980s. Loved the 80s ! Fun episode with brave humorous and diverse artists.

[@conniekiers9554]

My question is how she can stand having all of that hair covering her eye...any hair blocking the full view of something would drive me crazy

[@SandraJSchultz]

1980s???? What are you talking about? Absolutely NOT 80s.

[@marilyn1244]

She has the drooping of her right eye, called ptosis. She therefore likes to cover it up.

[@jillp3761]

She has her own style, why are so many so critical?? Why is it so 'wrong' to be different??????

[@mnap1595]

You're off by at least 6 decades.

[@marymarshall5134]

Clearly everyone who commented about Gabrielle doesn't know her history or style. She is beautiful, unique and doesn't deserve your narrow views.

[@conniekiers9554]

I have no idea who she is, but if I was one of the artists I would have been very disappointed to have her as my subject

[@jillp3761]

​@@conniekiers9554each sitter is unique, it wouldn't be easy to do justice to that hairstyle, it would take expertise to get the hilights just right. Each subject has its own challenge.

[@louloukroon-zitko5760]

you come to have your portrait painted and more than half of your face is covered with hair…crazy!!

[@catehansen2058]

Covering or half covering her one eye seems to have been a visual trademark of Gabrielle's since way back when -- so I think it's necessary for any real portrait of her. And the artists did a lot with the half face they could see. A good challenge.

[@viktoriyarts]

easy portrait, just some hair wave and we’re good 😅

[@Ion467]

She has a condition called ptosis. She is not crazy.

[@CSchaeken]

@@Ion467Thanks for this info!

[@jonasalexander]

They’re tasked with creating a portrait of the chosen sitter. If the chosen sitter typically wears a hairstyle that covers part of their face then it would be contrived and dishonest to portray them otherwise.

[@chrisdeoni1697]

KAT was purrrfect in style design and bravura intelligence. She's a winner 🏆!!!

[@JP-bb9hu]

she painted the best likeness of him, but i loved the metallic painting, how was that not even among the top three.

[@EGChurchofChrist]

All of the artist are so talented. Such unusual styles ... hard to choose a favorite. 😊

[@marshallsdocumentariesandr6439]

Yes Kat! The one I like won. That never happens. What's going on?

[@patlatour2465]

I really like Lisa,s painting and enjoyed them all ❤Gabrielle is a beautiful girl can’t figure out why people critiqued her hair, I thought it was about portrait painting 😊

[@jillp3761]

Right on. Surely a portrait is about the sitter and her/his unique personality

[@robinaanstey3734]

Personally, I didn't pick either of those 3...Shane belonged in there. IMO.

[@rolf6421]

To have that kind of likeness in a fisheye view is truly a masterclass , amazing 🎉

[@DGray-go7nc]

Your title makes it sound like it's an American show. 'Battle' and "Clash' would not exactly be the words that work for this.

[@appnzllr]

It's Stephen Mangan as host - not Frank Skinner. Frank left Portrait and Landscape Artist a while ago. You need to update the text of your videos.

[@KayInMaine]

All the paintings were really good, but Kat's really stood out! Such a great painting!!!

[@suzannecall7822]

Gabrielle has an eye condition she chooses to conceal.

[@zucchini2114]

omg did no one else notices that the guy said "f you" to the deaf guy and not thank you 😭😭😭

[@emregurses9038]

Please invite artist Gül Nihal as soon as possible, pleaseee😢😢

[@helenlewis2860]

Thank you for adding this, love it

[@twangel46]

Hate tattoos sick of seeing them everywhere

[@triconcert]

Love that choice! Great work!

[@jekalambert9412]

Please include the Season and Episode in the titles for PAOTY and LAOTY. Thank you.

[@martinitime3537]

What a motley crew of sitters! I wonder why they never add the year of the event!

[@dianefields6056]

Watch to the very end. It's 2021.

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Alicia FrAnce self portrait is amazing. Just wow. And Kay Hughes selfie too, so brilliant. Love Shane's Gabrielle

[@poofy8856]

Thanks for uploading ! I have been wanting to watch season 8 because there's an episode my favourite artist Emily from the KZbin channel Art With Em ✨️

[@dalanium98]

grace neutral

[@ferenchackfelner8784]

Of course, the Jury selected other pictures, than me.....🤩 Thank you all, I can learn from this series a lot.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Well...

[@mauriciosalazar1156]

Excellent chapter, I hope the others don't take long to get through, since this was two years ago.

[@mlk1965]

"Get my best side, " says Gabrielle, with half of her face covered.

[@jillp3761]

She is showing her best side

[@somulaxmi]

How I can Participate in your event ???

[@fionabryant7923]

Ach, shay was brilliant

[@enrikacardoen7146]

Ty😊

[@pjansson1]

Thank you!

[@louisaleroux5610]

💙💙💙

[@xynl6243]

Whoever got Gabrielle as a sitter got very lucky, very hard to get her likeness wrong

[@zogzog1063]

Pity the poor buggers who had to paint Gabrielle. The silliest hairstyle.

[@seanfaherty]

A good painting starts with a good image

[@yeshuaart5940]

And again the judges have been wrong

[@conniekiers9554]

I don't know how Gabrielle can have her hair over 1/2 of her face....that would drive me crazy

[@katella]

I wonder why Gabrielle decided to wear her hair that way, what she was thinking...

[@shara-la8629]

If you wonder - you are young and possibly think music started with Taylor Swift or similar....If you wonder - Google who is she, it will clear to you in seconds.

[@katella]

@@shara-la8629I'm on the other end of the age spectrum and not a Brit so I've never heard of her. I thought the hair over the face was just a quirk from an artist's mind. But I did google her and read about her problems with her eye. As a 71 year old psychologist the way she copes with her eyelid problem could be handled in a less conspicuous manner. This hair over half her face only draws attention and speculation. But each of us is free to deal with our insecurities in whatever way we can.

[@shara-la8629]

@@katella also on other end of the age spectrum, also not a Brit....

[@katella]

@@shara-la8629 so, you knew about a celebrity that I didn't know about? 🤷🏽 so what? I've lived an off grid life for the last 30 years so there's lots of that kind of stuff that has no meaning to me. My idea of the hair over the face as an artistic quirk was intriguing to me the hiding of a lazy eye, less so.

[@shara-la8629]

@@katella off grid - brilliant!👏...well, I am old, I am grumpy - I earned the right to make mistakes in judgment, 😊 I take my words back.

[@jukes243]

God gave you two eyes. Why would you cover one up.

[@shara-la8629]

He gave you two eyes so you can Google the women, and find out in second why.

[@jillp3761]

You don't wear makeup ' colour your hair or do ANYTHING to alter your appearance ????? 😮

[@miguelmelendez3354]

For once the judges got it right

[@TenTenJ]

I can’t stand it. That forehead belongs at the auto repair.
