Straight from Your Head to the Canvas (The Outstanding Artist - S2 E5)

[@donitafichter8298]

Man I love this show. And I love that it is as long as it is! I WANT to see all the actual process with the artists!!! Thank you!!!!

[@donitafichter8298]

The fact that you remained there after the passing of your mom is astounding on its own Roxani. Amazing job everyone.

[@miriamjoseph6532]

I would like to see the final paintings as you tell the scores.

[@mariadelaart5897]

Me too

[@michelecarroll8168]

Great episode! Loved Ester’s piece!!❤❤❤

[@rionholdtonceandfutureboat8947]

I love this show, too. I can’t get enough!! Love the reality, but especially all the different hearts-let alone their inspiring work!

[@dorotafischer3817]

It must be difficult for artists to accept such honest criticism. Ego needs to hide for a while, haha. But this is my favorite part. You can definitely learn a lot and better understand the process of creating good art. I bow to each of them for their courage.

[@Habück]

from my experience there are 2 kinds of people: the ones who want praise and the ones who want criticism.

[@marniegogol8871]

I love the show! I also love the family

[@AlanaJ_888]

Abstract art is subjective to the viewer. Asia, your piece was one of my favorites! Sad they placed you last. I hate this scoring thing. I think your piece looked like an abstract of a still life with red roses. ❤🌹

[@bodyofhope]

Yes I didn't understand that at all. Asia's turned out so special- especially for a mini challenge with so many impossible rules. I'm surprised anyone could create something attractive.

[@ingping2002]

Agree

[@kristineobrien8878]

I love the last painting❤❤❤❤❤…!!! all are beautiful:)

[@suellenterry6618]

I loved Alannah’s Bret Whitley type style in this one but made it her own fantastic.

[@kellybrennan7926]

I wish you would show the painting of each artist as you're announcing the scores

[@JaneofArc]

Personally, Asia's is one of my favourites in the first mini challenge. I love how it makes me feel and it inspires me. I LOVE where it's going and it wouldn't take much to make this POP. I love this challenge because for the last several years, I have been challenging myself to be more raw and expressive and this is how I start my first layers as a way to loosen up and have fun like I approached it as a child. I've been trying to restore a part of me I feel I lost in a fancy art institution. I like to play and see where it's going to go without source images and it's fun to see what emerges. I wanted to really loosen up and let the painting speak to me back and forth like a dance until it feels complete. Truthfully it rarely does feel finished to me. My paintings escape my studio before I have had a chance to paint the sides or varnish them. Anyways, Asia, if you see this, I like where you were going with this. I would encourage you to play and experiment more again like this. There's something there I think. It kind of reminds me of Robert Burridge's work before he gets in and out with a wide brush to tighten the composition and colour story at the end. I know you couldn't use a brush in this challenge, but just saying, maybe explore this a little more. ❤ from a fellow artist.

[@MadelineSeda-to4oy]

Wow, great job. Amazing artists. Love the video.

[@susanbrown-sj3vq]

Your very honest and I don't have a clue about this that and the other app. I CAN paint, but when your in your 70's, technology is a new and expensive language. Wishing you every success. Sue x

[@donitafichter8298]

Oh my gosh I’m so excited!

[@tigerlilly1975]

Wow season 2 is so much better than season 3. So uplifting. The artists in all seasons are amazing. Don't know why they changed the formula for season 3. Loving this season! So amazing ❤

[@Tawadeb]

All these artists are amazing

[@tinka6468]

I actually think it would be great if all artists could stay till the end or their works and achievements before the elimination challenge influence the decision. Because for me there were artists who had to go because one painting wasn’t that good when most of their other works were at the top. I noticed that in this as well as in the other season. It would be a much better appreciation of their skill I think. Other than that, I like that you’re pushing them and letting room for them to learn and grow during the show. Which kind of also underlines my point of determining the winner based on all the points 😅❤

[@kristiemaloy4099]

What kind of spray paint are they using?. If regular spray paint can acrylics go over top.?

[@janjohnson6602]

Love the show - wish you’d show the art work more

[@Tawadeb]

Loved watching this

[@danihernandez3691]

Looove this videosss❤❤❤❤

[@bearbait7405]

Please Milan Art. I would never consider your academy with this loud, beat-driven music. My art studio is definitely not a discotheque.

[@rosilatressler]

I would never consider Milan Art due to their taste level

[@CorineaNeil]

Awesome. New episode

[@thehappypotter9612]

Love these episodes. Would have liked to experience the silence with them in main challenge, though...

[@clc3897]

It would be so nice if the artworks were displayed properly when they are being critiqued. Some kind of frame or a clean display board, or a mat around them would really help everyone understand what the piece would look like on a wall.

[@Habück]

4:18 they can drizzle the shizzle right on the nizzle!

[@Kokoh15]

I so much want to compete!!! I love you guys!!!

[@christinaelliott8186]

I'm still wondering who won the Diamond Club contract from a couple of episodes ago?

[@tinka6468]

I’m wondering which paper they use. It takes so many layers of paint and water, I’m always struggling with buckling or my paper kind of dissolves :/ Great artists and great show, I love the critique parts in this season especially

[@mariadelaart5897]

Looks like canvas to me

[@tinka6468]

@@mariadelaart5897 thanks for your response ☺️ they are talking about paper though and how some of them would like it better if they painted on canvas

[@mariadelaart5897]

@@tinka6468 Ah ok. I’m partially deaf so didn’t hear them 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe they used gesso on the paper? I’ve got card/paper/canvas which is canvas in a large sketch pad form I assumed they used that as it’s cheaper As like you said. Paper isn’t durable for a lot of materials

[@tinka6468]

@@mariadelaart5897 Oh that canvas paper pad sounds interesting, definitely looking into that, thanks! :)

[@mariadelaart5897]

@@tinka6468 they make the pad so you can pull out the canvas easily and use. I have Phoenix canvas pad. 100 %cotton and triple gesso primed 16x20

[@reynabillington474]

I never know what to call it. I go into a different space, and it just comes out. I never know how long I was painting for then I blink and it all becomes clear. I take a step back and see a picture I made second by second but didn't think about what I was doing. Im not sure how I did it. I was in my right brain sweet...❤

[@jeanettewilhelm8464]

I liked Alannah"s and Esther's the most in this challenge .

[@Крис-в1т]

Why does Christina cry all the time? 🤣 🤣

[@Habück]

because X-tina is sad she is out

[@e-artz95]

How do you become one of these artists? This would be awesome in my life!

[@Habück]

by finishing the Milan Mastery Class course and being one of the best graduates of your year and/or one of the best selling artists afterwards and/or one of the artists with the most followers afterwards

[@DottyDelightful]

The instructions on this are so unclear and confusing, he keeps changing the parameters. And the constant music is really distracting which is a shame because this could be a really good show.

[@sammirureka]

Funny that Esther found a love for abstracts here, she only does abstracts now.

[@donitafichter8298]

Where’s the other eliminated fellow? Michael I think? Doesn’t he get to participate in the mini challenges?

[@TheLisbethK]

He missed his flight or had some issues getting there in time. There was a snapshot of him explaining why he could not do the mini challenge

[@juliehardy2046]

Excellent episode

[@tiffanyshiels]

All amazing

Plastic cups??? Have just found this show, looks exciting.

[@suzannelinch9234]

Brilliant i shall be doing this

[@cynthiawilliams6435]

The quality of artwork is subjective. However, I completely disagree with the judging in this competition. Roxani should NOT have been eliminated. Brie should have been eliminated, because her artwork was the lease successful in this challenge. If the Milan family were the ones making the final decision in the judging process, in my opinion the outcome really calls into question their professional decision making process. Their subjective reasoning is highly suspect in my opinion.

[@azmgbbb]

Bring the far things near they say. Completely out of your head they say. Don’t listen to the critic they say. Tap into your right brain creating they say. Go to lah lah land they say. Let the canvas talk to you they say. Oh, you’re half way through? How about we come critique you and tell you what your painting is lacking and what we think should be on the canvas. Forget about what your canvas was supposed to be telling you. We will override your creativity. Blah blah blah. This challenge is out of OUR HEAD.

[@mercuriesstars5763]

I think it’s a mistake to critique in this episode- to let the painting tell you what it wants and then to interrupt that, short circuits the surprise unfolding.

[@plutochannel643]

Alannah alike Marie fredrickson Roxette band

[@rosilatressler]

Apparently, Esther can't follow instructions.

[@creativespark7371]

Roxani did a way better job than Brie and Alanna. And how Alanna won top spot is beyond my understanding. I love this show, but I feel as if the judges' opinions and style are way too similar, and they create a family echo chamber when critiquing and judging artwork (Milan family--Ellie, Dimitra, and Jake who is Dimitra's husband). I also think just one or two judges is not enough, especially when they are family with similar style, taste, and opinions. I think if they had two or three more judges OUTSIDE of the family with different style, taste, snd opinions that the judging results would have been much more fair. But, this IS the Milan family's competition show.

[@ingping2002]

Asia is the best artist in my opinion but she doesn't get enough credit... these competitions can break people when judging is so subjective..the judges base their criticisms based on what they like and not what constitutes a good piece of work.

[@smallbones13]

You are simply wrong. She is top 3 for sure, but the critique is ultimately about composition, color, sellability, etc. Asia sometimes has self doubt and confidence issues which reflects in her work. All I see is the judges constantly encouraging her to be herself, and on the odd chance that her composition or other art element is a little off, they will let her know. That only serves to improve her work, her judgment, her skills, etc. If LEARNING can "break people" then we really have a problem. Or maybe it's just you projecting your mental fragility. Asia is doing great, I wish her well in this competition and beyond! 💜

[@ingping2002]

hey just my opinion, there is no wrong or right, just opinion especially when it comes to art... some of my favourite art comes from children becausee its pure and unjudged.. Scoring art is inherently flawed , its not like Maths where there's a definitive answer. I am an art teacher but i think its my job to allow them to express themselves and not criticise. Perhaps you might like to look at your own judgements of others also. Who is projecting here ! Have a great day smallbones. @@smallbones13

[@rosilatressler]

Again, I am disappointed in who the judges have chosen. Guess I have bad taste, or there is a plot to raise and low certain peoples scores. I did like Esther's painting, but the eliminated contest painting was better than some of the other paintings.

[@rozettecraill7816]

Contestants are very rude, keep talking or on cellphones while presenter is talking, not looking at him ect ect, very disrespectfull !! And camara men must please work on his skills please ❤
