Portrait Artist of the Year | S03 E01 | All Documentary

[@sandeshp8403]

Indira's all 3 portraits were BEAUTIFUL!

[@craigsmith4105]

I felt the painting that Indira Varma chose for her own, was the best of the show. Interesting how many American artists and models are now being part of the show. The US should have their own version. It's a brilliant show. The two countries are indeed connected closely in so many infinite ways.

[@rebelrog]

I love this series also. I just wish the judges had as much talent for picking the best artist as the artist have in creating the art.

[@shayytaann]

36:09 indiras portrait deserved better it’s gorgeous

[@ioouranou4216]

Was the best actually. The final 3 was not so fair, except Kimberly.

[@stevegrooms1142]

This series amazes me. I hate competition. I particularly dislike competition among artists. But this show has me in its thrall. Love it!

[@kerrykennedy1979]

Agreed!!!

[@timclemons8719]

Competition brings out the best in some artists and results in some amazing work. There’s nothing wrong with it as long as the respect is there..🙏🏻👍🏻💕

[@twistknit1]

I don't care about the competition itself. I just love seeing the different artist showing their work.

[@Saba15-t9d]

@@twistknit1 Could not agree more.

[@thomasgansevoort929]

Great series. I wish for one change. In the closing credits they would list the painters names beneath the sitters.

[@chickenheart896]

Once again it's all about "potential" and "promise". You automatically know who the judges are going to short-list. And the best artists are usually out of the running.

[@martiq5031]

Those artists will surely not be chosen by anyone to paint their portraits

[@oliviacasino8888]

Oh joy, a new posting of this series for all to view and disagree with those judges! Can life be any better during Covid! Thanks so much for this posting All Documentary; looking forward to season 03!

[@Frenchmisto]

Thanks so much… no other tv show has me addicted like this one. I live abroad so I don’t have any exposure to British tv for a while. Please keep them coming!

[@hannahgroff9611]

38:06 my favorite by far. The colors are extraordinary

[@JosBroder]

As much as I love the show, I tend to feel like I agree with Frank over the judges. Indira’s reveal was one the most exciting I’ve seen, yet none of them were short listed. I know opinions are subjective, but I almost always feel like some of the artists are jipped.

[@SKN1763]

I totally agree! I thought the best two were paintings of Indira. I especially liked the smaller portrait of her to the right. Excellent! I can’t believe it wasn’t shortlisted.

[@anawieder5003]

Charlotte's painting was clearly the best of all nine Her expressive color and brushwork is stunning. I'm shocked and upset she didn't even make the shortlist. I can't understand what these judges are thinking.

[@Bfdifan-j8x]

Well, there are a lot of brilliant artists in history who were rejected over and over. She should wear it as a badge of honor☺️

[@rogerrtewwr4723]

judges on this show are annoying, they routinely pick the weaker candidates

[@anawieder5003]

@@rogerrtewwr4723 agreed

[@ISEEKSPACE]

I have to be honest, I don't like that they asked Stanley Tucci to remove his glasses.

[@denisecounts5381]

That was I thought part of his likeness 🤨

[@pookiepoodle46]

He needed his glasses.

[@Amtcboy]

No one got his likeness.

[@IceCenders]

@@Amtcboy Agreed. And sure it would have been easier with the glasses, but it's still a failure on their part. The cartoonist clearly can't grab likeness beyond what a cartoon would do, the amateur painter did a very muddy, bulky, older character, and the very young watercolor artist did a very flat portrait with very generic eyes that wasn't close enough. To be honest they weren't the only ones, I wasn't impressed with any of the portraits of the younger male actor. Two portraits of the actress were wonderful, and then there was the surreal tricolor nonsense that could have looked like anybody. I keep wondering how such a limited selection of artists can be on average so bad at capturing likeness, and wondering if the judges have eliminated better but less original artists. EDIT: wow, just got the selection of 3, can't believe they didn't choose one of the two clearly superior portraits, those of the actress. It's like they don't care at all about likeness...

[@abcdefghi9]

36:29 of Indira Varma was THE best painting. That was the winner.

[@anthonyryot7381]

I wish America had something like this, it makes me want to move cross seas to where arts actually appreciated

[@stonew1927]

I thought it was an injustice not to include the artist who painted the actress who chose his painting. I thought that was one of the strongest portraits in any heat of any season so far of the show. I also didn't think Charlie's painting merrited being in the top 3. It's very accomplished. I like it, but it simply did not look like the actor. He made him look much older. The winner Kimberly's painting was fresh and innovative, but once again weak when it came to likeness. Out of the top 3 I would have given it to the older gent. Thought his rendition of the actor was truly original. I just didn't care for his overly spread out legs in the pose. But other than that it was wonderful....

[@VousEtre]

Thank you for posting. Love this program. Never agree with the judges. Lol.

[@maryhill7999]

Mary Hill This series Inspires me. With last art experience in 5th grade primary school, picking up watercolor by Chance in Covid December 2020 I have a new quiet room in my life to observe, breathe and express my appreciation of the world around me. The artist’s expressions are lessons in classes I will never attend. Thank you for the judges’ judges frank and discerning observations. Thank Sky Arts for their support.

[@virginiadavidson7862]

I loved Charlotte's colors of Indira, best of all!

[@theillermusic]

love seeing the joy in Kimberly's face after she won!!! very pure!!!!!

[@captainnwalps6689]

I usually agree with what these judges say but I highly disagree with not at least shortlisting any of the artists painting Indrina. They were clearly the best paintings of the day and usually the judges aren’t so focused on the self portraits of the artists at this stage

[@seanfarrellsullivanhasemotions]

25:40 I actually said, "Wow!" quite loud... I can't wait to see that when it is finished. Wait... they're from Connecticut? Sally's family? That's amazing. I live right near them. She's very talented.

[@667hodge]

I'd like to see different judges

[@oliviacasino8888]

Hahaha! The judges and their need for “promise!”

[@lupenunez4689]

Me too

[@jimjohngirard]

I freakin' love this series.....these people aren't talented....they're skilled. Talent implies ease, comes naturally....but skill says, hard word and mileage....great, great show.

[@kerrykennedy1979]

I absolutely love this show. Landscape Artist of the Year is also awesome. Thank you!!

[@rosefredericks3705]

I don't understand the sheer stupidity of having a portrait competition in a venue that has a skylight where the light is constantly changing. Why would you do this to someone? However, I do love this show and I appreciate your posting it. Thank you

[@donnawoodford6641]

In plein aire painting, the sun moves and the artist or photographer must capture the light before it's gone behind clouds or below the horizon. The stupidity, if any, may be coming from a different source.

[@susanhazard632]

I can see the judges are looking for potential, as well as the finished product. I'm surprised at the choice this episode, but then that's my personal opinion. What's more important is the inspiration it infuses in me to try portraiture...and add it to my florals and landscapes. A whole another adventure in color!

[@diegoospina4237]

I really think they had their favorites from the strat.

[@WalterToscano]

@@diegoospina4237 Pienso lo mismo. Se nota claramente que desde el inicio ya eligen a los posibles finalistas, incluso a quien podría ganar, a pesar que el resultado del trabajo del probable ganador sea mediocre como en esta serie.

[@phanieartsy515]

these shows can never go wrong.. Watching it kind is amazing, relaxing, therapeutic and satisfying all in all at the same time for an artist like me

[@TattoodSpirit]

Thank you for posting these great shows!

[@Kasino80]

I am glad they changed the format slightly. We get a a much better feel for the artists in this new format.

[@Desidrata0]

Loved all the sitters and artist this episode

[@Carelmartyn]

Please, you guys! Upload also the "landscape artist of the year". Much love! 🥰🥰🥰

[@egonkl3in212]

and then he said: We should call this the Game of tones‼️💥🤣🤣

[@enlisty]

Unusually, I agreed with the judges’ choices.

[@QuitJakinAround]

i freakin love art

[@blackvulture7999]

I new Kimberly would win from the first glance! She is fantastic!

[@_Krazy47]

I was super surprised when Highmore was introduced!! I found that the portraits of the lady was best..,

[@Ivorybird09]

The artist who won is incredibly lovely but I will not choose her to do my portrait. Not even for the feel of unfinished, etc. I am very impressed with others though. Fun show.

[@jeanettedemosthenous2685]

If they are calling this show portrait artist of the year then I'm sorry but I would not have known who the sitter was in any of the three they chose.

[@ChromazoneArt]

Yes!

[@azmgbbb]

Exactly! Terrible picks. And absolutely no likeness.

[@ioouranou4216]

Correct

[@ChromazoneArt]

I'm pretty sure, in this case, the goal is to make an interesting painting while simultaneously capturing a likeness :)

[@kennethprice4292]

I get tired of people trying to put into words why they do or do not like a painting.

[@Maxy_9090]

I love this show, everyone had different styles and techniques, textures etc..they only have 4 hours to finish the painting, it has to be distracting, all the other people like family & friends walking around talking to all the artists is challenging too..im curious and excited to see the end results ❤

[@mohamoudfarah5907]

Love this😀❤

[@lechatbotte.]

The artists judge on more than just their technical ability, they’re looking for potential, they’re looking for new and fresh. You can be trained to play a piano but what makes it outstanding is the person who plays from their heart who goes beyond what they see. They’re aren’t just looking for what pleases the eye.

[@HimanArtists]

Awesome art work

[@cecyliarys6080]

[@postmax81]

3 great artists on the shortlist. I felt anyone of them could have won it.

[@bjj21]

All 3 of the woman are incredible. Would be hard to pick between them

[@AlexAnder-ut9es]

I don't love this older format where they had 3 sittings and the talent looks at the works while in progress. Glad they changed both of those things since.

[@rogerrtewwr4723]

judges once again pick some of the weak ones in the final 3 and then pick the WEAKEST as winner ... baffling and very annoying

[@uncoordinatedkevin20]

Yeeeessssss!!!

[@teacherrengie8800]

I can do better portrait when I see the subject face to face and I wish that someday I could join to this prestigious portrait painting competition 😊🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@colorfulbleeding]

you only draw weebo stuff brother, what make you think you can paint better life portraits.

[@MBDronePhoto]

No problem with the final choice, but each of the Varma artists got robbed!

[@String.]

I do charcoal portraits. .My portraits actually look like who I'm drawing.

[@lukethomas658]

All three portraits of Freddie were really striking. Not sure anyone captured Stanley, though I liked the paintings themselves. I was fascinated by the "digital" portrait of Indira. Agreed with the judge's choices.

[@williamsparrow2248]

They got it wrong. A strong day but they selected the three weakest ones as the three finalists. The weakest painting won. I've noticed this pattern throughout the series. New judges please!

[@stefanstevanovic8067]

What is the music on the start?

[@jackharrison7613]

17:56 he looks like Matt Damon.

[@jfaycomedy]

None of the paintings of the 2 men look like the sitter

[@artladybluntzer4112]

I wonder how all these artist are doing now?

[@nmbr6kid]

The final 3 were not at all what I would have chosen. Endira’s portraits were all far better imho.

[@WalterToscano]

En esta serie los finalistas estuvieron débil en el parecido, pues ninguno de los 3 lograron la condición más importante en el retrato. Acerca de la técnica, creo que ambos caballeros tienen técnica más lograda que la dama. En cuanto al color, reafirmo mi preferencia por los trabajos de ambos caballeros. // Asunto aparte, dentro de un jurado, la mayoría debe ser especialista en retrato, dicho esto, sólo hay un pintor retratista jurado, esto desmerece en gran parte los resultados; sin embargo, no siempre han tenido malas decisiones. Christian Hook, por ejemplo fue un justísimo ganador. Reitero, si no hay parecido en el retrato es una obra fallida. Y, por favor, no me vengan con pretextos bobos como "la captura del alma, el espíritu que emana del retratado"...

[@wgr2017tw]

yes😎😍

[@hollygolightly9878]

I reeeeeeaaally want Indira's outfit? Does anyone know where I can buy it?

[@bcm3938]

I'm way late but after just finishing season 2 on a high note I get this. SMH Of course for 2017 they're right in line for meeting DEI requirements.

[@Yonniejoy]

You know what? They should not give false hope to realism artists as they always pick the most quirky one anyways. This is exhausting to watch. The judges are very weird with their judgements

[@MellowWind]

How can I view PAOTY 2021?

[@gogo-word]

I'm surprised Stanley Tucci 's choice was of a man 20 years older looking. Some of the other paintings had that 'older than' outcome too.

[@starveartist]

Weird how none of the Stanley Tucci portraits really captured his likeness

[@Dipsxi]

I actually agree with the judges, not often is that the case. I see a lot of opposition in the comments, which I understand but disagree with.

[@WanderlassS]

s02 is 2014 s03 is 2017 missing yrs in between

[@jeanninemattison7913]

The years in between were Landscape only. Also a great program.

[@mariawilson2595]

NO ! Kimberly;s really well , obviously the judges are looking for splodge art !!

[@joyevenson8702]

I’ve noticed that the ones that always win are the most bizarre as the current ways of our world….

[@pakiaoo7]

I have never recognize any of the supposed famous people they paint

[@jhb61249]

I do not see this as an art competition but as a crafts competition.

[@martiq5031]

These judges choices are really bad 😞

[@azmgbbb]

Pretty terrible paintings this time. They look nothing like the sitters. The best paintings didn’t get to the top 3. I’m thinking they knew who was going to win no matter what.

[@tickettochide3832]

the ones for the men were horrible

[@jfaycomedy]

They made Stanley look old

[@Oyeah12]

why is indira varma barefoot?

[@Watkinsstudio]

I think she is dressed as if for her yoga class.

[@Oyeah12]

​@@Watkinsstudio No. I then watched a mid-length movie starring Indira and she played a housewife in that movie, and I noticed she was barefoot almost the entire movie. Maybe it's just her thing.

[@akashmakkar7187]

​@@Oyeah12 it's an Indian thing. Barefoot inside the house is pretty normal and cultural too. You'll find yourself being asked to remove shoes outside in many shops too.

[@rogerrtewwr4723]

don't see the hype in kimberley's she achieved no likeness

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Es scheint daß alle die wirklich malen können sodass man es wiedererkennen kann werden hier ignoriert. Frustrierend!

[@jennyyy2813]

These judges have no brains

[@Watkinsstudio]

This show gives false hope to realist artists as they are rarely selected to go though or win. The reason is to rake in as much money as possible from the artist applicants ; 1500 to 2000 apply at a time.

[@icefirexd]

All paintings were beautiful but, The model doesn't really Chooses base on which are best i notice its, which person Who they wanna win. 😅😅💚🥰🐭☕💕 K xD
