Painting Nish Kumar - Portrait Artist of the Year - Art Documentary

[@triconcert]

Can't say I agree with all the three last choices. The water colour was great. But Will's portrait of Nish was the hands-down winner for me.

[@patriciahadley2374]

@triconcert. I loved Will's portrait too, the colours were wonderful, but I loved Sarah's painting a little bit more. P.S. Will is very young. I believe he's heading for a great future. 😍

[@sallystang5885]

Absolutely agree! Will's portrait was the best likeness but also unique. I know the judges are often looking for something a little out of the ordinary, and I think this was. He captured Nish's eyes perfectly, as well as the madness of his hair. I'm surprised he didn't make it into the final three, at least. Disappointing. Sarah's painting was also nice, but not the best of the day.

[@pascaledaniel4863]

I agree. Will's portrait is the best.

[@IndoPersian1969]

I'm shocked that he didn't at least make the top three. He would've been my winner as well.

[@OliverM-q3i]

agreed

[@martinitime3537]

Will Terry’s painting was by far the best one of the day! That young man will go far! Boo to those “judges”

[@toddaulner5393]

Agreed!

[@TenTenJ]

What a lush painting, absolutely masterful. I was stunned when they didn’t choose him.

[@marcelhoermann8213]

Totally agree

[@IndoPersian1969]

Agreed!

[@opart]

It was a little predictable, thus the outcome.

[@fairytale0908]

I clicked on this because of the brown painting of Nish love it ❤. He deserves first position 😫🤧 I love the colours and the character of the painting he has so much talent at a very young age I'm impressed 😮

[@lisacrandall409]

For me, there were two very clear standouts: Will and Sarah. I’m shocked that Will’s portrait didn’t make the top three, but I’m very happy that Sarah won 🎉

[@LeCrenn]

Agreed.

[@EvaMillerKapKaDesign]

I love Sarah's painting, but Will Terry’s painting was absolutely the winner for me.

[@jukes243]

Really like Sarah Harvey's watercolor paintings. All the artists are brilliant. Love watching them work.

[@conniekiers9554]

Will Terry's was the best piece there today... can't believe that his didn't even make the top 3....but of the ones that did make the top 3, they definitely picked the best one of those for the winner

[@anteeker]

I agree. His was a very good likeness and I love the way he put the paint on.

[@triconcert]

I have to agree wholeheartedly with you! Clearly the best painting of the day!

[@jpdj2715]

He made the best "portrait" but this competition is about "art" and not about "craft". I felt the one that won was the best artwork of all. The selections made out of the threes, before they announced the winner, not exactly my preference. The problem with art is that juries are constantly looking for something that has never been done before, or has not been done for such a ling time that they wouldn't think it is old school. The point with your favourite painting is that the use of "ton-sur-ton" (colour tone on colour tone in French) in the warm browns gives an 1800s feeling, or 1970s pub. And then, for these juries, it cannot be "high art" any longer, even when the sitter is a beautiful brown man. The painters of around 1900 would go to museums or art collectors to see how a painter in 1600 had worked, and attempt to copy at least the technique. That was called "learning" at the time. Today it is a criminal form of "plagiarism".

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Sarah Harvey was my choice as winner of this heat- a stunning,sympathetic and gentle portrait and I loved the finished painting.

[@TobileyP]

I thought for sure Alexa would choose it.

[@ursulacosta307]

It was definitely the one that I would have chosen to win as well. 👏👏

[@yusufalasmi8923]

I’m sorry that guy who painted nish kumar(guy in thumbnail) was literally the best one there hand Down no doubt. Literally the fact he didn’t get picked is disrespectful he was stellar. Dude if u see this wow man ur good

[@ddahstan6876]

I totally agree with you. The youngster will be brilliant! However, art is totally SUBJECTIVE, so what you like most doesn't reflect with what others like. Some totally fall for having an amazing technique, wonderful color scheme, personal connection, uniqueness, spontaneity, humor etc. Thus, it's sourly disrepectful on your part to say that it's disrespectful that the "best" did not get picked. Nonetheless, I hope all these artists will continue to pour out their passion after the show.

[@chrisdeoni1697]

The winner 🏆 is WILL TERRY. The dazzling use of colors brown and black is a tour de force. The madness of the hair and perfection of the beard plus capturing the funny, gentle soul of NISH is astonishing. I'm surprised, shocked, really, NISH, not selecting it as favorite. The judges deserve a well-earned spanking for not selecting the TERRY. for at least a top 3.

[@joanhenry8586]

I agree 1,000%!! It is a gorgeous painting by any measure. It was privilege to watch Will create it.

[@chrisdeoni1697]

@@joanhenry8586 It's mesmerizing.The TERRY can be placed in any world-class gallery and will draw immediate attention. It would sell quickly.

[@TenTenJ]

Aside from being technically masterful, his painting was quite poetic. He was my choice from the beginning, and I was shocked by the results of the judges.

[@chrisdeoni1697]

@@TenTenJ Totally agree. He was robbed.

[@pascaledaniel4863]

Un portrait extraordinaire, sans aucun doute.

[@brendadoyle643]

It is nice to see a watercolorist win!

[@toddaulner5393]

I struggle the most with watercolors.

[@janepage3608]

That was the first time in watching this series that I’ve been surprised by the sitters’ choice of portraits. You can usually depend on the sitters to choose what ‘we’ think is the best, no matter what strange choices the official judges make. But definitely not this time.

[@Skj9-u3k]

This is a show, not about who's better than who. People who would not step into a gallery in 10 years got to see some art. I love the idea of the show.

[@SKN1763]

For me, the top three were Sarah Harvey’s painting of Alexa Chung and the two paintings of Nish (not the print). That is not to say that I didn’t like the print, but it wasn’t in my top three. If I had to choose a winner it would be the brown painting of Nish. That really captured his personality.

[@monicavonr9029]

My favorites was Wills portrait of Nish, Sarah Harvey of Alexa, and Sofie of the other man...

[@2_pencil]

Thanks for posting Banijay!

[@SpiritualVibesGM]

As an artist, over the years i have been struggling with inspiration to draw and paint or complete art projects... finding this program is certainly inspirational.

[@ephraimudoka6042]

As a watercolourist, I’m so excited Sarah won this. Congratulations to Sarah.

[@SpiritualVibesGM]

to the producers of this Show, i thank you... its 4:36 am in my Trinidad and Tobago and waters has been filling my eyes... i pray that i can gather further inspiration going through the rest of your Channel on KZbin to produce some beautiful art pieces. looking forward to more inspiration!

[@Janestjohns]

LOVED the winner!!

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Thankyou uploader. Much appreciated. good choice for Winner. But a couple of the Nish ones should have bn finalists

[@nancyshell2855]

Thank you for posing these shows I have learned so much and it keeps me inspired to continue to paint.

[@HeatherJephcott]

Absolutely LOVED the winner this time.

[@obrien6320]

After comparing them to my painting abilities (NONE) they were al amazing. Art is so personal.

[@kathleenbifulco8129]

This is the first one in the series, where I feel it’s extremely difficult to choose, as all the artist are just doing such an incredible job with their own unique look!

[@josephdoan1355]

Ty for noticing the shadow. It brings his painting to a whole new level

[@WendyKerry-m4f]

I love seeing how different each artist's style is.

[@HawthorneHillNaturePreserve]

Honestly, every single one of these artists was amazing not just the shortlist! Truly outstanding ❤

[@debrah7548]

It was between Sarah and Will for me. Still can’t decide between the two.

[@dianawitty9628]

I loved the Watercolor…she may have thought it was too small and wanted something bigger for her home…go Big

[@Art930]

I am so envious of the talent displayed by these artists and would buy any of their submitted self portraits. It occurred to me that a television show consisting of people like myself who cannot make the connection between what I see and what comes out of my fingers might be hilarious. Thank goodness for real talent.

[@toddaulner5393]

4 hours is really not long enough but they really nailed it!

[@LadyBug1967]

Actually I thought that was an interesting idea of yours although you panned it at the end. BUT I've done paintings and other things and I have absolutely no talent. But much later after going through stuff trying to get rid of things and organize my place, I run across them and I see something very unique in them that I was attaining without knowing it and though you definitely would not call it a great work of art, it has a certain he ne sais quoi about it😉

[@PhotoWix]

What a delight of style and medium!

[@toddaulner5393]

Fingerpainting. I like the bold move!

[@nancyjellison1360]

A watercolor won! Wow!

[@joygriffiths5046]

Stunning work

[@KaylaAnnStudio]

As an artist myself, I'm so happy Sarah won... Oil paint is one thing but to capture someone's likeness using watercolour is amazing because there's not much room for mistakes.

[@hallymariah45]

I loved Sara's portrait! The eyes are just exquisite!

[@nymphacasander9784]

WILL TERRY ‼️

[@kristinawalla]

I love Mish Fernandez's portraits so much ! hers and Will's are my favourites, tho i love Sarah & Lucy's too. And Adelina's self- portrait

[@MelvinMartin-w1e]

Will Terry wins walking away. Just beautiful.

[@alera520]

In the last group I’m not agreed, the best was the guy who did the monochrome portrait that did the dark background, the other two artist didn’t have their proportions rights and the eyes where distorted and not in the right place.. very disappointed.. the 18 year old was the best in the entire competition.

[@toddaulner5393]

I agree, his painting spoke the loudest to me as far as technical ability.

[@dothedo3667]

I'm very surprised so many artists had such wonky eyes

[@c.paulsmith9602]

The celebrities are such interesting people and so charismatic! They have such power inside of them and presence I think they needed much longer to give them justice! WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!! KISH KUMAR has such a deeply intense face and they did not get him....HE IS HANDSOME and they missed this (but will terry closer).....Phillip Glenister has amazingly emotional sensitive eyes and some very deep pain all over his face and they did not get him....Nicola Benedetti practically set it up for them with her pose and what she had on and is just plain elegant and powerful adn they did not get her and seriously how did they miss those legs????.....my opinion

[@homemoviesandotherstuff3419]

Intriguing, fascination, and very enjoyable watching the process. Thanks

[@jenniferstrong7537]

Wills by far was the best! Can't believe the judges let him slip through their fingers

[@toddaulner5393]

I thought Will did the best.

[@blackvulture7999]

All artists are so strong in this episode, it was really interesting to watch their works evolving.

[@cynderella2867]

Beautiful choice!

[@josephdoan1355]

All of their paintings are wonderful

[@endlessstudent3512]

How the portraits of Nish were so much better as the ones from Alexa. Proves again that nothing is more difficult to paint well than a beautiful woman.

[@tiagodagostini]

Good looking young woman are only matches by babies in difficulty.

[@neverwriteitdown6780]

Will and Sarah were the clear standouts for me. Adalina's portrait was very graphic and really jumped off the canvas. Maybe I'm too literal to be a critic. Definitely fun to watch.

[@AFAskygoddess]

The world must be coming to an end! The judges *FINALLY* chose the best artist. Never thought I'd live to see the day!

[@nodramamama3438]

I'm really into painting swans rn, so I'd love to see the virl wi5b the goose!. Congratulations!

[@littleripper312]

I tried searching Will Terry's artwork but I can't find anything and another artist comes up. I was hoping to see these two paintings and possible more. If anyone knows his social media or has links to his artwork it would be massively appreciated. I really love his art.

[@tumpivanhnuaithang]

Will's painting is the best!

[@leocheck69]

I would buy Sarahs painting! looooooove it!

[@kathysarmiento4652]

I hadn’t heard of this show. Loved it!!!!

[@conniekiers9554]

Then you should search for all of the seasons and binge watch...you won't be disappointed....also check out Landscape Artist of the Year for another great watch

[@Richie8a8y]

Will Terry’s painting lives!

[@MrMorsbach]

Will, hands down, was the best painter.

[@RebelWithoutABoss]

The lino cut one is my personal favorite, but I'm also drawn to stark black and white work and pen and ink. Lucy's is my personal favorite, Sarah's my second favorite of them.

[@Ak75sa]

Omg the editing of this reminds of the great british bake off, I'll be taking 14 seasons as a spin off series pls 🙏

[@hotram1]

Sophie, Will and Sarah were definitely top 3. Any one of them would have been a worthy winner. So Sarah made the top 3 and won. At least the judges got the correct winner.

[@FMartini1960]

Will or Sarah would be my choice . Shocked the celebrities picked the ones they did

[@robertstevenson7122]

Harvey’s painting was sublime

[@benja1378]

Gotta love how the video is vastly different from what the thumbnail and caption implies...

[@ElectronicSin]

Art is so difficult to judge… I couldn’t do it because every piece shown here has it’s specific point of view, different approaches and techniques. Hard for me to say sich one was the best.

[@youshouldtrytis]

Will went crazy ! His is so great

[@sauloelartesano]

Muy buen aprendisaje, se aprende, felicidades.

[@404schmoozernotfound]

you can always count on the comments to veer sharply towards the most photorealistic painting.

[@stephanierodriguez3828]

Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dailyplanet354]

Will Terry should've won. He was the best by far.

[@Ida-fz3ir]

yes, it is the best!

[@Dizzyfingers2]

Am I seeing the same paintings as the "celebrities" and judges??? Will Terry is brilliant. What's with all the fascination over the woodcut???

[@anthonyneitzke5564]

defenetly will's the best by far

[@angieweisswange5873]

Finally i can agree with the judges! Brilliant winner

[@__dane__]

Genuinely shocked at the top three, I would've thought it would be Sarah, Meesh, and Sophie. The print was fine but it didn't really capture Nish's likeness

[@kwebst1]

Sara and Will were my favs. I love wood/linoleum prints but I thought it was a bit muddled, I thought Liams was kind of stoggey compared to Wills. But LIam’s self portrait was my favorite of all the images

[@oosmosmoo]

Yeah, Liam was not better than Will %100

[@isculpt4u]

GREAT STORY.

[@sharongallagher3443]

Impressive choice.

[@tabaldak5184]

So we have a professional and amateur class now in art!!! 🙈how rich!!

[@kubagornowicz]

I can't get over the nose of Nish Kumar on that print...

[@specters_art]

4 hours to do a painting is really no time at all. And you can really see that limitation on some of the artists. But the watercolor was absolutely the best most realized piece in the time frame.

[@lifetheslowway]

Sarah and Will were the best of the day

[@toshiyukisuzuki7610]

Still thankful for the upload inspite of the video quality

[@mizuko23662]

does anyone know will terry socials? i wanna see more of his art

[@GabrielsLogic]

36:09, unexpectedly deep

[@taejiminie5248]

Will's painting was the best in my opinion

[@lluchadden4040]

perfect choice

[@theartzscientist8012]

I loved them all. How can you pick one over the other?

I am not sure about Lucy's woodcut but her sketch would have made an awesome entry!

[@fatoomgierdien110]

VERY STRONG ARTISTS🎉❤👌✨️ CAPE TOWN

[@PsulOrtiz]

The last ot 3rd sitter looks so much like Mathew Perry!! Each man could very much be the brother of the other.

[@1phildefer323]

38:00 for me , he is the best portrait........

[@aphasiatech]

Sarah's watercolor was by far the best... deserves to win

[@celebratelife8436]

I get why the judges might have felt compelled to pick the watercolor portrait but don't understand why the judges picked two of the least stronger pieces which were very nice but there were stronger pieces

[@laxgi]

loved sarah's. hers was definitely my top 2 but Will was robbed. He should have for sure been in the top three at least!

[@enrikacardoen7146]

What are these picks???! Softie yes but the rest I’m like what??😂😂

[@kwebst1]

Im so surprised at the pictures chosen by the sitters.

[@janepage3608]

Absolutely! The portrait of the girl with long legs was very amateurish - although her self portrait was great. And next door to it was the fabulous water colour!

[@pixipatricia4304]

First time I have ever liked a linocut !
