[@ricknico2577]

Kellys had such beautiful colours and quite Gauguin-ish.

Thank you for bringing this out to the world to enjoy . Love the British way of interacting . Very inspiring to watch , sitting here in my isolated little studio in Ab. Canada on a cold March day . . .. paintbrush twiddling in the air , hoping to maybe paint ...or not .

[@zenaidamateos9376]

Wonderful all of the them. What a complicated choice

[@pplsmyl]

Just love these programs. Artists are always amazing, and the judges are truly tested.😊😊😊

[@pjlewisful]

I love this show.

[@conniekiers9554]

great choices for the final 3 and the winner as well

[@jillsmiley7701]

This is a good one

[@larrypicard8802]

Well the winner said he definitely wanted to win.

[@whl1762]

The tall guy (John) is soooooo pretty ❤

[@carolynzolas3314]

I was happy with the choice of the judges but would not have their job! It seems that they like a fresh style with a slightly rough look, not every hair in place, but showing a lot of personality. Excellent!

[@Dennis-Hare]

Most of the judges' thought process is often pointless, but in the end today, I agreed with todays selection.

[@tanglingheadphones]

Aww, Balin!

[@zahras1492]

It's a huge pity they hardly spoke about the picture meaning. And of course, the models prefer the most flattering, idealizing, neat, feel-good portraits. Something they can look at in twenty years and feel proud... Of who they've been. The conveyed messages of these paintings are so clear and readable. Do they sell these paintings on a specific platform? I loved almost each painting, which doesn't happen to me that often - I suppose I lack sensitivity to most paintings I saw in this TV show series.

[@grashca]

great, it would be nice of you wrote the winner’s name and the sitter was Mike Leigh not Lee plus there was no Frank Skinner there

[@shaju0469]

Winner name?

Nope, nope, and yep! Realism always wins for me. Missed the satisfaction of the winner.

[@gordonbrunner9429]

..just once i would like to see an artist stop their process , like at the 15:30 mark, and present that.....i find this painting, at this point, interesting

[@lilys4960]

[@aphasiatech]

Of the final 3, they chose the weakest. Paul should have won, IMO.

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

The judges think they are so innovative, but in actual fact they are terribly Dull and conservative. You know which ones they are going to pick a few minutes in. And they are always the same formulaic 'Lets be different' nonsense. Let's go for the one with the Blue face, which looks Nothing like the person, or the artist made it with a squeezy bottle and a hairbrush so it Must be Art! There is something a bit sad and desperate about it all. It is interesting that the sitter hardly ever pick the ones that they do. They nearly always go for the conventional ones that actually Look like them. I would boot the windbags and let Them judge.

[@robinaanstey3734]

PAOTY 2020??? Does anyone have any episodes from 2022 and 2023??

[@tiwantiwaabibiman2603]

Yes, KZbin does and further back too. Just do a search for them...

I should stop watching before the selection at the end. Those self important “judges” infuriate me every time 😑

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

What makes Them so special? I have never heard of any of them and haven't got a clue what they do. I know the pretentious preening male is supposed to be an artist, but I have never seen any of His work? As for the women, the older one looks and acts like the bossy woman in the local charity shop and the younger one should be at home knitting tofu into baby grows. Get rid of them and let the sitters or audience decide.

[@barbaraweber3084]

I much preferred the other mans painting but I'm not artsy fartsy.

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

You don’t have to be artsy farts to have an opinion ! Many of us don’t agree with the judges’ final decision.

[@archibaldsusan1]

As usual, the judges chose the worst submission!

[@eyeshowyou]

Amateur??? No difference between professionals and "amateur" for me: freehand painting is art...is professional. Grid users...can start over again

[@martinitime3537]

I too find it annoying that they call these accomplished painters “ amateurs” 😣

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

​@@martinitime3537 I think they are using it to indicate that some are Full Time artists while others have Proper jobs! lol. Its 'a patronising misnomer.
