Portrait Artist of the Year | London | S01 E01 | Reel Truth Documentaries

[@andreaandrea6716]

The winner; wonderfully modest and appreciative! Really deserving.

[@dopeymark]

That paper cutting shadow portrait artist is amazing. He is a savant. I would like to see an entire show just on that man.

[@elsevillaart]

Not gonna lie...i will love to see him playing as the Doctor, he has charm.

[@gabbywilliamson76]

That silhouette guy is awesome

[@wyldekey]

I'm glad they went from 21 artists to 9 in later episodes. This is a very inspiring show!

[@SomeDaysYoureBarbra]

I love this series. For me, being give the opportunity to watch a person practice a craft that they are an expert in is a tremendous privilege. In the same way that a great piece of live music can make a person emotional, watching an artist create their art is an emotional experience for me. The paintings are all so unique and beautiful; I wish nothing but success for all the artists that are highlighted here.

[@andreaandrea6716]

I love your comment. I feel the same way!

[@sehgalvikas]

Her expressions at 41:40...its like they won 😀..so lovely that they made such a connection with the painter

[@NYIKAZENO]

I hate competition shows, but this is a lovely examination of varying artistic processes. I really enjoyed this format and could get lost in it...

[@andreaandrea6716]

Yes! I hate competition too!!! It's why I love Art (one of the reasons). But this is brilliantly, beautifully, sensitively done and I get lost in it too. What a gift in these stressful times.

[@viktoriyarts]

18:05 luv that, accurate and creative!

[@paul-zx5du]

I love how she cupped his head and gave him a truly appreciative kiss. ❤

[@amykurtz5908]

This show inspires me and amazes me at all the different styles of painting. Thank you for posting.

[@irisblue2332]

A pandemic activity with my mom has been syncing up what episodes of Portrait Artist of the Year Episodes that we can find on KZbin and watching while on the phone together in different states. A very excited email was just sent and plans have been made. Thank you!

[@Jigger2361]

...great idea!

[@NataliaPedemonte]

That's my favorite activity with my aunt, great way to connect with our loved ones

[@andreaandrea6716]

Wonderful!!!

[@carlostheartist368]

That silhouette paper artist is for me the artist of the year!

[@joannweber4393]

I was so happy to find you again. I have loved your artists - every year and every one of them!

[@mariettajoe6544]

One of my favorite shows! Thank you for posting!

[@KayInMaine]

I am thrilled with the talent of the artists this year. All are amazing in their own right!!!!

[@snipnnip3269]

41:04 shoutout to that girl in the crowd with the gorgeous flower makeup. love her

[@capitanothegreat3994]

Amazing!

[@hollygolightly9878]

Right!

[@rasman1876]

I really, REALLY love this show! So inspiring!!!

[@samanthaa3564]

Thank you! I love this show but can’t see it any other way from the US ❤️

[@ShredPile]

I came to this episode after about a dozen others from a mix of seasons and I have to say congratulations to the writers for so quickly finding the right combination of format and subject choice after this episode. Excellent series.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

I’m sorry I didn’t know about this show. It’s terrific. I hope it keeps going.

[@747JetJock]

Just discovered this show. Wonderful! The Great British Bakeoff (Baking Show, here across the pond) got me baking. Perhaps I will start painting . . . more.

[@conniehusband1365]

Thankyou for taking me on this WONDERFUL JOURNEY! A great discovery that drew my emotions to the surface!

[@AshutoshRatnakar]

Was looking for the first season. Thank you!

[@Ppzinha]

Well chosen te winner. I love it, It looks that they really were in a garden in a sunny day.

[@kissedbysun2517]

Love this show and have been searching for a way of watching early episodes, thanks for this. Hope to see much more

[@benbcfl]

Love this show! Thanks for uploading

[@redredrubyred9]

Wonderful artwork by ALL the artists. Really enjoyed it. Thank you

[@jag1963]

This, to me is Genius. I am utterly in awe of them all.

[@jessebaeza3063]

I love how at 28:57 he Lowkey advise and coach's a lil bit.. wish I could be there...

[@TarantinosCat]

I knew the guy’s gonna win just by looking at his process, and I can’t even draw a circle but I’m a writer who has a similar process when it comes to building a story and it’s great to look at a familiar approach in a different discipline. Thanks for this show. Much ❤️

[@Carelmartyn]

Finally season 1!!! 🥲❤️ Thank you!!

[@LauraBCReyna]

Watched a few episodes of this awhile ago that someone else put up. Really enjoyed them but they got taken down. So happy I can see other episodes. THANK YOU!

[@paul_domici]

Thanks for posting this!!! We can't get it in America!!!

[@glendastromberg7905]

We only get this on KZbin here in Canad😊🍁

[@kristinawalla]

i love this series ! i just discovered it and can't get enough of it---- so many wonderful artists ! 💜💥🎇 Louie the artist who won kept reminding of actor Julian Sands.

[@kipasangincosmos]

Why there's no subtitles/closed caption?? Is hard to watch it when we're in train

[@woolywonders5546]

😭 please enable closed captioning for hard of hearing viewers……. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

[@gabbywilliamson76]

I wish we would have gotten to see every artist’s finished piece. I don’t think we did.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Yes!

[@josephyoudontneedtoknowmyl1836]

I love everything about this show.

[@madelynsmith8281]

Love this show!!!

[@mrc00ffee]

After watching 2020 PAotY I can clearly see how much this show have evolved through the years! It began as a concept and ended up as an elegant work of art. It is trully magnificent.

[@reasonablyserious]

I agree. Silhouettes can be very interesting.

[@teriscallon]

I love this series...but these are to judge heavy. Show me the artists!

[@lulunaleo]

Totally agree! The editing & camera work really short changes the artist. Really needs to show all the final paintings fully before they’re narrowed down. After all each artist worked so hard!

[@tashawaters89]

34:55 Wonderful work. The silhouette cutter is impressive. I got tears when the celeb said she wanted to look 35. I'm 35 with an unclear future. :/ Thank you. (Edit) Alison Steadman

[@dirtschneider7574]

16:17 I really love art like that

[@evelynbrogli830]

Wow! The judges actually picked the best one.

[@robertstevenson7122]

Love the show but was surprised about the bad judging this time. I also want to know why other contenders never get shown.

[@Norfolk250]

30:33 (gasp! ... it's Mr Three-Steaks-Pam!!)

[@enrikacardoen7780]

I love to look at those series , I cant see the landscape serie in Belgium…..can you please help me. Tx

[@joejackson9058]

Love this show! Thanks for posting it. Is there more to come in this season?

[@lindastevenson6642]

thank you

[@abhaysood6314]

how disrespectful to have 21 amazing artists paint and not even acknowledge them with some screentime, skipped through all the judge interviews anyway, wish it was the paintings that were shown.

[@nayak.kuldeepsingha]

Roseline work is beautiful

[@ronnidmiller]

I have been coming almost daily to see if the semi-finals and finals for Portrait Artist Season 1 have been posted. Are you planning on posting them?

[@walkerdo2003]

Please

[@rosezif]

I just find this and I am loving it!!! So much amazing artist and backgrounds, I couldn't reach that stage to make something like that, life 😨😨😨 it would be amazing that they make a live on KZbin of the models to try this at home along with the artist 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@cynthiamarston2208]

Julia Stevenson is a great model! I would have captured her fresh beauty and pleasant expression. Most her artists didnt do her justice

[@enrikacardoen7146]

Ty😊

[@patlatour2465]

All artist did wonderful work must be hard to judge.

[@jeronimobalbi]

Minuto 17:00 el verdadero "viernes de siluetas"

[@cindyharmer6345]

IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO FIGURE OUT WHERE I KNEW JULIETE STEVENSON FROM, IT ALMOST DROVE ME MAD AND THEN I REMEMBERED IT! MONA LISA SMILES!

[@stevegrooms1142]

She's done several fine films. One that won acclaim was written specifically for her: Truly, Madly, Deeply.

[@sshssuperhero]

I really liked the comic book guy

[@nickyhomann9071]

A sitter should know to keep still- disrespectful to move around

[@gabbywilliamson76]

The youngest artist should have been in the final for sure. She is so talented

[@cecilia9434]

what is the year of this season? 2021?

[@WanderlassS]

what year is this i wonder

[@tumblingrosesstudio]

Great!!

[@irmaduarte1123]

Cómo se llaman los jueces de este programa?

[@endlessstudent3512]

Love the show but would not have chosen any of the winners. Thought some of the others were worlds better.

[@Raegen_.]

what year was this filmed?

[@andreagillette1652]

I think it was 2012-2013ish. Quite a while ago.

[@elladaa5026]

What year was this?

[@crake345]

Why did you put so many ads?

[@zainejohnson5064]

Thanks

[@akimbogeo11]

The things these British get up to! They’re a consciousness- raising country- at least from the standpoint of ideas like this.

[@robingagan6288]

I can’t believe anyone would think bull fighting is ok

[@kydeafie]

No Closed Captioned. THUMB DOWN!

[@gabbywilliamson76]

I like Rosalie’s best out of the 3.

[@hayleyb467]

41:05 beautiful face 🎨

[@reasonablyserious]

Gallagher's pretty convinced of his pop art rendition lol

[@paulwalters5943]

The fact that Rosalie Watkins did not win is just…. Sometimes I hate others opinions 😂. She had the best painting, best likeness, best composition, most refined, most delicate, most elegant and most well-crafted artwork of the day by FAR.

[@sandraford4235]

I don’t know why they even bother with the sets as nobody hardly paints them,The judges pick some of the weirdest ones,They don’t show all the artists work who are in the show ,I would like to see them all .

[@NataliaPedemonte]

In the newest seasons there are less competitors per round, and they show more about them.

[@alanatolstad4824]

I'd never make it as a judge...I like realism too much. Some of those artists met my standard...!

[@sebastianc.2098]

Algo que sucede

[@robingagan6288]

Its unfair that some have to paint 2 people in the same time period

[@visualdog]

This first episode of the series is very different from the other seasons I've watched. The others have only 9 artists - 3 per celebrity portrait -and show the work in process. Much better. Obviously the series has evolved. I still don't agree with many of their decisions!

[@renzo6490]

I don't think that Gabriel agrees with Juliet's decision

[@gygye]

I wonder how the artist can concentrate with so much interruptions ..too much talking. Please, let them paint !

[@gailarnold2660]

I don't like how they filmed this at all this time. We are here for the art and the Artists and to not see all of the work is a big disappointment to me.

[@mickolszewski2520]

WELL.! I Say Old Boy, Chaps, & Chapettes . . . "MiGHTY GOUD SHOW".!

[@String.]

Kathleen is such an art snob.

[@sharit7970]

3:04...looks like she's wearing a necklace of coronaviruses..!

[@szewing0923]

Wth 😂😂😂

[@artofmanneherrin5273]

Way too many details feom the start

[@charlied415]

They talked like developing a style is a bad thing.

[@shirleysarradet2052]

I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!!!! NOT EVEN A PORTRAIT!!!

[@jaekim4955]

댕스

[@marekvollach7831]

I ALSO deeply love this series. but when in the opening segment in the eye of the beholder opinions (and remember all the judges also use toilet paper) opinions range from "mug shot", and this from a supposed FINE ART DIRECTOR i can see her purchasing toilet paper at her market: all these are just just opinions from imperfect humans. Whether you win or not means nothing in the scheme of GIFTINGS and ETERNITY.

[@lucaorsino7353]

What is This?!?! 😂

[@eleni1968]

The problem with this art competition is there is only one painter and the rest are either NOT painters or they are art gallery owners. A REAL art competition is evaluated by artists ONLY. Second, it was predictable the judges showed deference for a male winner. The galleries and museums are FULL of male artists. THe judges do very little to change or at least show some consideration to the gender landscape; It was also would have been MORE legitimate if they had at least 2 runners up. I will say it was surprising to see that many women accepted i to the competition to begin with.
