Portrait of Hilary Mantel - Portrait Artist of the Year - S01 EP7 - Art Documentary

[@krisbrown5155]

I like that they agreed on the word “swagger”. Thank you for these programs. I love the growth of the artists.

[@carolynavery8747]

Oh, how delightful to see this. Thank you so much for posting these and any of these programs that you can. It's the only way I have of viewing them.

The craftsmanship and style is original with a gift for projections in details. It's practically 3 dimensional. I'm going to buy her books 📚. Such a grand diva. An amazing gift to the art world is this young man. BRAVO 👏!!!

[@LuckerStomp]

I love Hilary Mantel. Rest In Peace

[@Nottherebutthere]

That light blue background will be great on that red brick and in the shadowy alcove.

[@danielwmwolf]

Amazing Nick Lord. Well done. An artist indeed.

[@ThereandBackaKen]

Gorgeous work.... an exciting future ahead for Nick Lord who is just starting to figure out his style. Thanks for posting this!

[@Studio8Worx]

Bravo! Creating style with a different medium is amazing!

[@asmrwithannie]

Wow. Just wow! What an incredible portrait of her. He was so sensitive to the subject matter and managed to achieve her essence in a very cool way. And I just loved how flattering it is of Hilary whilst retaining her likeness. Nick is just such a talent.

[@jjstuartonwriting8150]

Absolutely stunning painting, and what a great subject. Hilary is so incredibly likable, I'm going to read her books. Thank you for such an engaging series, I've really enjoyed it.

[@shirleyprescott1528]

Thank you for posting! I so much enjoy this show😊

[@cojamescojames4762]

Nick is a great artist and Hilary as WELL

[@KayInMaine]

Fantastic painting, Nick!

[@enrikacardoen7146]

Ty😊

[@Nobody.thatyouknow]

Bravo!

[@StanleyKubick1]

she seems lovely

[@reinadegrillos]

Nick was unjustly chosen from the beginning.

[@christianattridge4344]

A close up of her beautiful eyes should have sufficed and been enough for our dear eyes as well

[@maladjustedmalcontent1532]

Great portrait. I wasn't that impressed with the first portrait bcs for me it wasn't a great likeness but as Nick went on I started liking his work more and more. Congrats

[@nickyhomann9071]

Does anyone know what type of paint he's using?

[@lindas.martin2806]

Unbelievable they would choose a red brick wall for the painting...looking forward to his solution.

[@rodandjudibowen5665]

Very compelling portrait. My only criticism is that the sitter's left hand looks somewhat odd. It is a little too coarsely positioned and appears claw like. Otherwise, very nice depiction!

[@jeffreypostma6832]

He put the signature in, Kate is not going to like that! Humor aside, I think he did a good job, I liked that he made a good connection to Hilary Mantel. I am not happy with that bare BG though, I think it could have more oompf had he added it.

[@georgiesmith106]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TRamone01]

They work together on the portrait. He asks, and right off, she suggests holding a pen.

[@stephenb4164]

I deem the work suitable.

[@richardwebb2348]

How vey gracious.

[@lalathebenificent1335]

I didn't really care for the final outcome. I didn't see "swagger", and the drips were a distraction and gimmicky.

[@nickyhomann9071]

gimmicky & VERY overdone

[@lobstermash]

I would have liked to see a portrait by an artist who had read more of her work - say, 'A Place of Greater Safety', which is so strong and savage. There is a contradiction in her blonde, soft-voiced, friendly private personality. He has painted a woman who could have written romantic comedies ... I don't see the steel.

[@noras.9774]

She is a little bit demandig person, considering his face and his age! Let the painter to see what he see on you!

[@shimburich1760]

Seems to me there was a mutual collaboration from the start. Nick was very engaged in her thoughts of how she did & did not wish to be presented. Just like his use of disparate painting elements/styles, it results in a harmonious & strong portrait. When I paint from life there is always a sense of the interaction with the subject & energy.

[@noras.9774]

@@shimburich1760 you are wright! I wanted to say that she told to him the better position with the pen for suggesting that she is thinking to her ideas for the book. Sorry for my english!

[@MrGlendower1]

Underwhelmed.

[@MrCdnAudiophile]

What an ugly subject. Bordering on troll like.

[@lindas.martin2806]

A rather cruel comment,there are all kinds of beauty, some more external, some more internal, often a dance between the two.

[@christianattridge4344]

Quite internal in this case

[@diddums86]

She is - was - extra-ordinary. You want conventional prettiness, watch Barbie.

[@richardwebb2348]

Offensive comment!

[@lobstermash]

You think she should be pretty ... She is one of the great novelists of the century.
