Kathleen sometimes i think just say stuff just to have something to say. I've been watching this series for a bit, and it's not the first time someone used their phones. She wasn't even the only one in this episode who was using her phone, and yet she said the girl was "copying" the picture. That was a ridiculous thing to say.
I feel the craziest thing is that she wasn't even using a grid, so the only thing that can be criticized is that she's not drawing from life, but then that's what the majority of contestants have done throughout all series.
It's as if she mostly had issue with the fact that that the contestant was using a very small screen that forced her to be hunched over, as opposed to other contestants using tablets hung to the side of their canvases, which should make it more conspicuous but at the same time perhaps makes it look like they are painting/drawing from life, except they mostly aren't.
What's also weird is that year after year they come back to that place where the light tends to shine differently half-way through. It's as if they're actively encouraging the artists to rely on pictures because they can't rely at all on the lighting of the scene in real life.
@@IceCenders They changed the venue after this season I believe to a place where they have only artificial light which stays consistent. But they still allow them to use whatever they want. Phones, tablets, printers, you name it. I remember there was someone in a more recent season who does larger than life hyperrealism, and she printed and traced the photo to get it absolutely accurate. They didn't have an issue with it as hyperrealism takes so much time and requires so much precision. They are never consistent with what they say, it really depends on how much they like the artist's work.
I've given up on trying to figure out Kathleen. It's not like using a photo is anything rare in this series. Quite a number of artists do it and some who have done so have won. Yet she complained about it this time. She's inconsistent. Whatever. The artist created an amazing portrait and the sitter was happy with it too. That's what's important.
Very true. I watch these shows for the great art - no matter how they get there. I don't really believe in "judging" art, far too subjective.
Yes a photo always remains in place, does not require a break, change of position. Photos have been used by artists, since photos became available. I use photos for landscapes as well. Light and shawdow remain constant in a photo.
@@barbaraolson6783 Many older and great painters used 'tools' The Camera Obscura for example. There is no other explanation for how art suddenly leapt from children's drawings to the immense works of art we revere today. So I have No problem with someone using a phone.
I think it's pure art snobbery like not using black
Quite agree, it’s the results that count, not a happy comment from a judge.
Kathleen struggles with someone working from a photo, but doesn’t struggle with the grid?
It made me so happy to see David run out and shake the artists' hands with such genuine eye contact
If painting from a photo is like tracing, everyone could be an accompanied artist.
Judge Katherine sounds jealous of this lovely young girl's talent, and that's not a good look.
Glad she won after that judge compared using her phone for reference as "tracing".
The critics obvioulsy don't paint. "Copying reality" is ALOT harder than finding your inner artist.
hmm....
I am an artist as well and i think the winner is the one that I am truly expecting! She did a great job of putting a swoosh texture on the face and the dripping red paint. The likeness was a masterclass as well. GREAT WORK!!! TRULY DESERVING❤❤
For once agreed she did a terrific painting of David.

Loved so many of today's pieces. Hetty's self portrait is a gem. Can't believe none of Michaela's portraits made it to the shortlist. They were stunning, as was she!
Really? I didn't think any of them captured her likeness that well except Kelly Frank's, but her painting wasn't as good. The painting that Michaela Coel chose was the best of the three imo (it was gorgeous), but I don't think it looked at all like her.
I actually hate this show. They try to make painting like Master Chef or something and a painter can't be judged by time. I watch it to see the art and the artists but it's a stupid concept..
Would like to see of thet completed in own time.
Love to see talent expressed in so many different ways...Congratulations to all!
The runners up were so gracious. I have been the winner of categories in competitions in my time and not everyone who doesn’t take home the prize is as gracious. This made me very emotional. Each artist was gloriously talented and I loved every moment of this, but Hetty was exceptional and this win was so well deserved.
Loved this
All great artiist. Special congrats to the young beautiful lady winning firstt....my choice as welll.
I kind of hate that it is a competition. Cos all of them look soooo great. It's such a pity rather than just look at all of them individually in their own worth. That you keep comparing them now. 🥴
Also the other Artist that left her pallet on the painting, I liked that a lot, like the Echer hand drawing, hand drawing it's own hand, this somewhat reminded me where the portrait comes from, so many times there is Nothing left but what the Artist sees, not where it comes from, the process
thank you for posting this! I've never been able to find any episodes past season 3 (plus sometimes the most recent ones). Please keep up with them!
The winning portrait was brilliant!
Firstly, it's great to see a show celebrating artistry of any kind. I wasn't aware of any "live" portrait competition; what a great idea. The winner worked off a cell phone snapshot, which was an interesting choice. She nailed the likeness, obviously, and imbued the image with painterly energy. I thought it was the outstanding rendition. In portraiture, there is a tension between accuracy, and giving a painting or drawing something extra and unique. Someone mentioned Picasso, and I'm reminded how photography offered a way to essentially supplant portrait painting with a rapid alternative, so portrait painters became less documentarians in the 20th century, and more visual explorers. Now AI is entering the domain with computer generated art, which can create a near perfect likeness with painterly flair. Fortunately for artists, having a one-of-a-kind, tangible object, like a hand painted portrait, has added value due to its uniqueness as a real object, a fact that digital art simply cannot not get around. And, people are impressed with a good, free-hand drawing or painting. There's a guy gaining an online presence with his clips of himself drawing NYC subway riders, and presenting them with the finished sketch. He's quite talented, and built up a pretty massive following. So, ya, the market for art is alive and well.
ai art is stolen and looks like the search results on Google images for "art"
I cried when David made his choice! Well done!!!
Bravo!! She was my pick from the beginning!!! ❤❤❤
Wish these were in order, they're so hard to find!!
Inspired to continue learning my painting. This was truly a wonderful experience to watch!
What a nerve wrecking experience! To have all those people looking at you while painting would make me so nervous!
Opinons on art are subjective. Why do art competitions exist? Why would someone ever want to be rated by some narrow minded critics? Their opinions don't matter anymore than anybody else. And frankly, why care about what anybody else thinks? There will be *somebody* who is drawn to anybody art.
Art competitions exist as a form of PROMOTION. They promote the sponsoring organization, art as a medium-- in order to expose new generations & keep it going. And they promote the artists themselves. Because this is a televised competition it's done a lot of good for the careers of the participating artist.
I agree with the previous commenter. For not yet well established artist or even amateur artists, art competitions can be a great way for being discovered and making connections.
As a fellow artist, all lovely paintings and mixed mediums. However, I have to disagree with the top 3 finalists here, Charlie, Hetty, Charlotte should've been in the top
I almost forgot there was a time people actually respected doctor who
Thanks so much for posting! Could you please post other episodes of this season? Thanks 😊
This is the series from 2018. I am sure you can find other episodes already posted.
wow the light is coming from one side, what a masterful unique skill which definitely not everyone does
The drips on Hettys painting are awesome in my opinion.
Just found this. What an amazing show
Isn’t it all just copying… whether your copying the actual person or a picture of the person…
Degas used photos and tracing.
I Liked the drips running down in the portrait , for such realism, I mean PERFECT, TO LEAVE IN the paint drips was like flesh and blood
I chose her from the begining..I am an artist.
3:09am in Seattle, WA and I can't stop watching until the end!
A copycat 😮…no
The thumbnail made me think he was on trial for murder.
They’ve turned everything into a competition … sad & pathetic. They were all good. But congrats to whomever won.
I kept hoping…the red one!
Hetty Lola deserves it....and she is so young!!!
Magnifique, Bravo💯👋👋👋.
It really annoys me the white haired woman had the nerve to say the reg haired girl was copying! What’s the difference in the phone and staring? She had the best of the day in my opinion. The full body photo of the African American woman looked pretty bad from the neck up in my opinion. The face just made her look 70 sadly
I wonder if the artists who manage to be chosen for more than one opportunity to participate are asked to come back by the judges who like them but couldn’t necessarily give them a win initially, or, do they have to re-submit for each leg of the competition. There have been many repeat artists over the span of the seasons. It’s cool to see actually. Don’t give up after a “no”!
I guess I think they should have to wait a couple years before entering a second time, in order to give someone else a chance. The lady that was discussing the ears needs to stand back. She is paiting the ears too big. The judges are better this round
Minute 22:40 I see a fantastic portrait emerging!
Maybe she mentioned it before and it just didn't make the cut. They can't put every little detail into the episodes ... 🤗 So happy for the girl, she's a great artist ❤🎉
- 33:53 WHAT? should be this 33:16
- 34:56 WHAAAAAAAAT? should be 34:15
35:56 ok fair.
Thanks so much for posting these!
All magnificent portraits!
I don't like any of them.
Two things:
I wish the "comedians" wouldn't try so hard to be comedic.
I wish that competitors wouldn't be allowed to come back.
Aside from those, I love this show.
I think that there should be a division of this portrait talent. It is FAR harder to pain from a person sitting in front of you as ooposed to painting from a picture that is 5 inches from your canvas. She should not have been allowed to work from her phone, imo.
totally agree! although it came out good, it is unfair, not a real artist process. never liked realism because it is so close to photography. I was stunned by a portrait of Charlotte and Judith. they are artists, trying to catch the light or color and energy... that's the idea!
@@snusmumrik1910 Yup, I agree completely.
I don't normally agree with the judges, but they got it right this time. But as for the copying comment, It's just as hard to copy an ipad image. You've either got it or you haven't, and the winner has definitely got it. Shame about Judith's. I think she cold have won if she had left the painting alone after the first hour and omitted the red/pink bruise on his head.
I can’t believe I can’t find anything from Alan Speed online! He’s so good!
Thank you, that was such a joy to watch ❤
Nope. For a competition like this she was too reliant on technology. Why bother having the subject there, if you're just using photos to copy.
Ketrell ? I would told you to shove your contest...
Nobody asked for your opinion José .
I am so addicted to watching this competition. It’s so inspiring and just plain beautiful and compelling, as well as inspiring as an artist. I find it curious that I always manage to choose the painting each sitter chooses to go home with them as their favourite. I’m not sure why exactly. That said, I don’t always know how the judges are going to choose their favourite for the top prize, that one occasionally stumps me. 💜💜💜
Painting portraits..womens exellent..talent good job 👍
Loved this.
This is from 2018. The new series does not start until October this year.
Ty😊
Eventually people will get so sick of UA-cam ads ruining their videos that they will just stop watching
They're trying to make you pay for Premium. It gives YT more money and cuts out the content creators' revenue from ads. Double greedy double nasty.
This is so sad that that type of painting is #1,a work from photograph..really?No wonder the art is in such a bad position nowadays
Exactly. It totally defeats the purpose of having a model, just sitting there for 4 hours... And more importantly, it is infinitely easier to paint from a photo. This is cheating, plain and simple. I blame the judges though, they should know better.
Both of you are being absolutely ridiculous. Cheating? are you kidding me? if using photographs as references really were an issue they wouldn't have allowed it, and guess what, you'd have to say painters from the 15th century were cheaters for using the camera obscura as a painting resource. It is also quite silly to claim that the portrait chosen by Tennant "won" or whatever, he just liked it a lot.
@@dr.wingdings4926 Yes, the Renaissance painters were cheaters for using the camera obscura.
Degas used photos and tracing.
Id do anything to draw a portrait of real david tennant
Excellent, love the concept and watching all the artists. Love all these creative people. Love light to all.
I think that's the first time I've got it right.
This is the best thing on UA-cam
Thank you!
VERY , VERY USEFUL
How exciting.
Amazing!
Wonderful! Let's stay in touch.
This is SO old. 2022's competition was season 9, so this year (2023) should be season 10. This video is of season 4. Wish we could see this year's competition. I've seen older seasons.
Why is this comment section filled with Americans criticizing? Were they expecting to see something like Kardashians?
luv this show, but I hate that they use photo taking, like common guys 🙂
Degas used photos and tracing.
James Morrison needs to stop moving and talking so much. As an artist, fidgety sitters are so annoying to me. Not that they shouldn't move occasionally and subtly to deal with crapping and stiffness, all those huge gestures, talking and head movements are frustrating (and inconsiderate) --- to me. Michaela talked when she was asked questions, she didn't change her pose or make big movements. Just sayin...The middle portrait of Michaela was terrible!!! I'm not sure why she liked that one. Oh well...
I have the impression , by the very other english shows like this, that it is so predictable the result. They were content to have a very young woman in the competition. That' s it.
What can I say?
Yuck!!! I love how the judges try to save face as they try to explain away those messes (or more frightening, they were serious)
I didn't realize David Tenant had been tried for a crime.
The paintings of the girl were awful ,they name her look like she’s scowling,The judges always see something in crappy paintings ,but the winner was the right choice,
Judith should have won this. Both her paintings were incredible. She captured feeling and artistic interpretation. The winner did a good photo copy basically.
some of them used photo, are you kidding me xD drawing from photo you basically copying 2d image on 2d canvas, and the main thing is - you will never get the REAL life colors and proportions that human eyes can see.
