Such a beautiful, young, gifted artist, it really comes as a shock to read in the closing credits, that this show was dedicated in memory of Michele Opoku-Taylor. RIP

She passed away!😢😢😢

Very satisfying when all the artists you prefer are chosen at the end. Even better when your favorite wins. SO sad about Michele. Makes her lovely self-portrait even more poignant. RIP.

The painting of Noel glancing to the side is magnificent!!! I love her. I love him.

[@karenkaren9526]

I cry through every episode,I have never seen such beauty in such a dark world.

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

Condolences to Michelle's Family and loved ones...

[@rodandjudibowen5665]

Michele Opoku-Taylor should have won this contest, hands down. Too bad the judges blew it. She would have treasured the honor and, in my opinion, produced a portrait remarkable for revealing the boyish, awkwardness of her subject while achieving an equally remarkable likeness. RIP, Michele. 🥰💓💓💓🥰

[@aprilkepler1702]

I fell in love seeing this painting!! ❤️

I'm not one for sour grapes, but I have to agree with you. The 'winning' portrait looked way too angry to me, whereas Michele's was beyond stunning and refreshing in my opinion. Let the judges decision stand.

[@moonstar7775]

I agree! The judges have blown it more than once as I have been watching these episodes. I can't figure out their way of thinking or their way of judging.

[@lui1115]

yea , u know art tho, at some point when 2 artists are just as good as eachother or several artists for that matter, the judges are literally just left with picking on personal taste over skill level. I also thought she shoulda won, given her daring landscape option and actually capturing the aura , as she said she would.

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

I really am enjoying these episodes! As a Watercolor Hobbyist, I love seeing all the different mediums the Artists use...

[@pauladouglas9891]

Daphne, such incredible bone structure!! She has only become more beautiful with age. In her younger years, she was conventionally pretty, but now she is truly magnificent

[@WorldWideWebObserver]

All these works of art were gorgeous! I could not have chosen between them.

[@PaddyPawsRescue]

Ashley's looked juvenile. Like best artist in your 8th grade art class level. I thought Michelle was best.

Completely agree! 🤗

Brilliant work from all on this occasion, in my opinion. Yes, Michele would have been a very worthy winner too. May the Lord rest your soul in His Peace, dear one.

How very sad 🕊️

[@MaLiArtworks186]

😢😢😢 So talented ... such a beautiful person... so sad about her passing!

[@katella]

I can't believe that none of the artists painted Noel's wonderful malachite colored eyes! Did the eyes as really see grey or blue?

[@sandraford4235]

Yes I thought so too

[@endlessstudent3512]

Malachite? His eyes are blue/grey imho. Just google some close-up pictures.....

[@sandraford4235]

Such a shame about Michelle ,her painting was the best one

[@Jealod24]

If you look at LeeAnn’s portrait, you’d think a 55yr old plus painted it. They said she wanted to show an honest depiction of herself but I think it just shows how some people are way too hard on themselves… the painting looks like a future version, maybe her mom. Someone give her a hug and tell her she looks great and not 30yrs older than she is.

[@pauladouglas9891]

Good for Daphne poking the angry portrait instead of the one with no wrinkles.

[@bewareofpigeons]

Such a shock to learn of the death of Michelle Opoku-Taylor. RIP.

[@janeingram7331]

Why don't they print the name of the person who is being painted. They say the nam so fast but I don't know who these people are except for Noel.

[@PaddyPawsRescue]

Reggie Yates and Daphne Selfe

[@pauladouglas9891]

Yes, as an American I am unfamiliar with so many of these celebrities who are only known in Britain, especially television performers.

10:00 Noel Fielding's eyes, they're amazing! It took me by surprise. They look photoshopped!

There was a very talented group of artists this week. Well done.

Daphne Selfe

[@asmrwithannie]

I just loved all the ones of Noel. They were my top 3. Tricky to pick a winner out of them, but out of their top 3, Michele was robbed.

[@59jaguar]

Might be time to have some NEW judges.

[@moonstar7775]

Absolutely! I also suggest NEW JUDGES!

[@Nedoponimanie]

Ashley's portrait (at least in this top 3) should have won. Very light and minimalistic style. Those who think it's easy to draw like her just don't know much about art. PS: Daniel's portrait had to go in the top 3. I'm surprised he wasn't chosen.

[@rayvirgoe7231]

And your time starts...NOW!‼⚠✏✏✏✏

[@janeingram7331]

I have tried to find info on what Michele died of. I assume it was cancer related to her mastectomy. Many articles about onlin e but nothing about the cause of death. Very sad.

[@ricknico2577]

My goodness what a perfectly shaped mouth Reggie has!

[@iamalwaysgodschild4840]

if i was a sitter, and just saw a bunch of artists with their faces in their phones, i'd probably just get up and leave. Why use a sitter then? why not just have the sitter email you a picture of himself. And also perhaps some grid paper, so you can be sure to get it just right. LOLOL Phones and grid paper. Feels wrong to me, but apparently they are just fine with it, despite sitters' complaints that no one is looking at them LOLOL

[@andreaandrea6716]

A shame that they are all out of order... I'm very confused.

[@archibaldsusan1]

Wow, wondering why they use blind judges. They really blew this contest!

[@lolodoce]

La final era entre Michelle y Daniel, muchas veces en este programa el jurado parece estúpido he infantil.

[@pauladouglas9891]

Ha,ha to the judges, that one women send in a self portrait based on a photo from 45 yrs ago. Maybe she thought she would have a better chance if she looked young and beautiful.

[@Jealod24]

And then the artist, named LeeAnn, aged herself by 30yrs in her portrait.

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

The only one I would have picked was Michelle's .I was not in the least surprised when Noel picked the collage, and I So wanted to like the other one, but I kept thinking police identikit. As for the other's the traditional one of Reggie was Almost there, the winning one looked like Secondary School art class, and the 3rd - well, words fail me! The ones of the old model. I have no ideal why they kept calling her beautiful. She looked like a Disney version of an old raptor to me! Such a Hard face! Elderly people can be Very beautiful, she is not one of them. But models are seldom 'beautiful' As for the paintings, one flattered her, the drawing was a poor likeness and the one they picked made her look like some harridan from Greek Myth! Come to think of it she Does look like some harridan from Greek myth, so maybe it was better than I thought! Haha

[@TwoTewToo]

I think she is beautiful. You’ve judged her pretty harshly.

These judges are useless.

[@dize.nozaki]

My favorite painting to be the winner was Michele Taylor's painting. However, God knew she was not going to have time to finish the portrait for the museum. All paintings are great, but God's creation is above them all. 😪❤️

As usual, the judges need to get their glasses adjusted!l. Ugly choice!

[@pauladouglas9891]

I do think the self portrait with the breast on a plate like a muffin was a bit much.

[@moonstar7775]

Perhaps if we lost a breast to cancer, we would think differently.
