Portrait Artist of the Year is a competition art show aiming to find the best portrait painter of the year.
Each episode features a regional competition and contestants are challenged to produce a portrait of one of three famous sitters.
As the competition goes on, three artists will remain, and these finalists will have their work displayed in the world-famous National Portrait Gallery in London. The winner eventually receives a $10,000 commission to become a permanent part of the British Library!

I'm truly enjoying these contestants painting portraits of these celebrities. So much diverse talent. The judges are filled with such exuberance as they share their knowledge & expertise for Art....Priceless!
expertise is a big word for judges, juging is easy.
All great artists during this segment. Fun to watch!
I love Frank and miss him in the new shows as he has been replaced!
Noooooo!
Really enjoy these weekly shows.
Such strong works by the 3 finalists!
Big thanks to All Documentary for consistently posting this wonderful series! It is not only engaging but illuminating to us ‘non-painters’ who continually are amazed by those skills. All three portraits were real contenders and worthy of a win! Looking forward to next week!
Ok I agree with the judges this time
Love this show! Thank you for posting
This was one of the best of this series. Very excellent work in distinct styles. Bravo!
Strong episode! Wonderful!
Truly remarkable
Such a hard decision to choose a "winner" to go through. Everyone has such talent of their own. I love this show. Thanks for posting.
Thank you as always!!!❤️❤️ Akers my Sundays!!
Lovely.
Wow it’s so beautiful! Thank you!
to me the whole shortlist is a winner! Awesome work!
I feel likeness is character if you choose the right bits to recreate. Likeness is most important to me obviously
What are the “right bits to recreate” so that likeness is character?
@@SinewMinew its usually just a line here and there that if left out leaves a bland or generic impression. My daughter and i have a faint line over the out side of the top lip creates a quirky effect. There will be lines around the eyes. Sadness or happiness anger or tired etc. there can be flat planes that should not be rounded for certain people. Of course the so called thinking or worry lines between the brow. A slight change in the brow. Highlights or no hilights in eyes for intellegence or mystery or far away. The nose has its bits too. If you dont see them you get a bland generic portrait. Its hard to do beautiful women with make up without looking a little bland unless you can find some of such lines. Nose might not be straight so leave it bent etc….
@@cynthiamarston2208 Thank you for explaining how you interpret likeness akin to character. I guess my confusion is in the difference the judges are drawing between likeness and character and why character is more important or so they say. I think it would be very difficult to convey someone’s character when they just met the person and have only 4 hours to portray them accurately regarding likeness. In that sense, I think likeness is more important an aim.
@@SinewMinew that’s my take. And in my world color doesn’t necessarily mater so a lot can be done regarding that whole area! I know the combination of colors is important but what I mean is I’m so turned off by the flesh tones available. Sure I need to learn it but really it’s just so uninteresting trying to get THAT part of likeness. Comes to mind right off are distinctive nationalities. But ignore their color. Btw there is mainly one judge who seems keen
@@cynthiamarston2208 Do you have to use the standard flesh tones? I’m not sure why you can’t deviate…Paint what colors you see that a person is. Experimenting is a great thing, especially in art. You could stumble upon your own style or even if it’s just a period or series done in a different style of color(s).
I’ve decided to watch these with the sound off and put on music. After watching a few episodes I’m wore out from listening to these judge’s tiresome comments. I enjoy watching the artists process and progress, succeed or fail.
Awesome!
Great talent
Very nice 👌 👍
im feeling less savage by watching these series
4:38 that was a lovely sentiment. Idk it just sounds very self-actualized and sweet!
After I saw all shows with Portrait, I found that it’s all about light!😂
Awesome friend,great sharing beautiful😃❤️ ....
Ty😊
Be interesting to see the artists challenged to paint the subject without a iPad or phone.
Well, the difficulty would be very volatile depending on where you sit. Some perspectives are much more difficult to draw and the easier places are often the ones that get most attention/praise. Using a Photo kind of evens the chances. But yes, the art in painting portraits is indeed capturing the live person, not a photo. But nowadays, most painters worl with photos because it is impossible to get people to sit for so long usually. What i do not like about many of the praised paintings (less in this round, but I have seen many in this series) do not capture enough likeness. They prefer often artistic "flexing" over really getting the person right. But that is the idea of a portrait.
Makes!!😃
훌륭하네요~^^
“New and fresh” is not only determined by your knowledge of art history but also by understanding the temperature, texture and reverb of an energy and situation of the world in your present environment with time binding everything together which is the job of the artist and not the critic who goes through nothing and is not part of the artist’s experience and dedication conjoining with the artwork at hand. This has been a perilous mistake by one too many present art critics and historians who think they no better than those who actually build and provide the consciousness humanity needs.
1st time I’ve agreed with the 3 finalists.
18:08 the judge says "he says he's really fidgety" NO, that was the other guy, who is in fact really fidgety lool
If ever a biography on the life of Benny Hill gets made then Adrian Childs has to portray him!
35:07 Hugh Hefner in Drag
Wow the tradionalist thou, perfectly done 💚🥰🎩💕🦊🐭🏹🏹🏹 k xD
Is there any way I can read these artists names instead of try and catch the name in their introduction? I’d like to see more of their work like the artist from iran
Wikipedia maybe? Like the wiki for the show
I just adore Frank 😆
how is an illustrator for 20 years ever considered an amateur artist?
What happened to the first 20 minutes?
Un sueño estar pintandi alla.un sueño.UN SURÑO.
All three finalists are incredible! But don’t agree with the winner.
Disagree. Great winner
The winner as for charcoal was bold. I don’t remember ever once seeing such a sculptural rendering. It wasn’t finished in my opinion. 4 hours is such a short time for all these artists! Goes by so fast
The charcoal drawing was underwhelming, just a smudged, grey mess.
@@Watkinsstudio i remember this guy and felt they over rated him too as well as i noticed there was a push showing in his favor. I figured it was just because hes not the norm. Turns out hes pretty amazing! Go find out what transpires
idiot!! go check his other works and final comission of howard... he is probably the best artist till date that this show has got... he has his own style... if you'll see his work you'll know that doing traditional painting is a piece of cake for him... he has developed two different styles... and charcoal was the best among all.... he finally became the winner of the season..
👍👍😁
Who are the sitters?
Meu bisavô ha dizia RICO RI A TOA
Delicate where...
they always pick at least one mediocre work for top 3 in this show, it never fails, and then they actually picked it to WIN ... baffling

@monica fedel here I commented originally...
That one sitter would make me crazy. Its a big disadvantage cpmpared to the other, more sedate, sitters. The carcoal artist was fast enough to get the base drawing done quickly enough. but really, if you cannot sit still for some time, do not sit in portrait competitions.
Do you feel cheated because it wasn't a painting...
Nope. "portrait artist" does not equal oil paint.
Wrong choice. That girls painting was beautiful. Gorgeous
Hated the pebbles

I can't imagine going through life and not being able to sit still. The guy that is constantly moving truly needs to do some meditation. He's all in his head all the time. Can't imagine not being able to be calm for a while.
The judges seem to be choosing the sketched one more and more in both this series and the landscape one. Perhaps they should change the judges or have a series for painting and another for sketching.
@@amolsingh7511 what is idiotic by my comment? It’s an opinion. shameful that you think it’s OK to call someone an idiot. If you read my other comment from 1 yr Ago you’d also see I also called him a great talent.
@@monicafedel3307one min... I did not commented this on your comment... Maybe a device mistake ma'am.... Not sure how comment came in here... Deleting my comment... It's not for you... And yes judges needs to be changed...
@@monicafedel3307 please see in this comment section.. I replied that to a guy named Roger Reterr
I agree at the judges winner 💯 the girl lost because of grid I think 🤔
I think she made his portrait “too sweet”/idealized and didn’t give enough of a feel of the person
Frank❤️❤️❤️
The Japanese ones are a pair. They should be together.
to me, Kathleen Soriano is the epitome of the snooty, know it all critic, who can't paint. No heart. Wish she wasn't on the show. But everyone else is great!!
Soriano has credentials as an expert on art and curating museum shows. Being able to paint isn't a requirement for an art critic.
@@WatkinsstudioNo, but having a soul should be. Lots of people have credentials but it doesn't make them right, or pleasing to watch. Kate has a passion that I can feel and she connects with the artists. Soriano just judges. Just my expert opinion!
But how do you know what she’s like as a person?

I think they originally intended on a show where doctors competed for a "doctor of the year" award but the surgery episodes were just too ghastly to be watched. I think portrait artists competing is really a better idea.
Really miss Frank in the more recent shows. Not as much fun to watch them.
The judges are such pompous prats! Absolutely clueless. Some of the works they pick out look like they were done for a school art project.
Worst sitter ever!
Using grid doesn't require any artistic ability. It's a bit of cheating. I put it on the same level as tracing. Real artists should be able to eyeball it...
Many Renaissance artists and other Old Masters used grids made of string. Not "cheating".
Any way that you can come up with a product that satisfies you, then there is no such thing as cheating.
@@leighguptill9244 definitely an incorrect answer.
@@Watkinsstudio Maybe, but the better artist shouldn't have to resort to such tactics.
@@stonew1927 Why?
Ughhhh please stop with the photo taking, it’s cheating 😩
It's not
vitoriyarts, I think that since the subject is going to shift, talk ou laugh while the process, it's just normal to have a photo as aide-memoire.
Accuracy in proportion is important if you're going for a realistic image. Some artists are better at spatial transference, and others have to rely on a grid to get a close likeness of the subject. Artists are on same playing field with time constraint, and they have to make use of color, composition, etc. If you want fairness, all need to use same materials, size of canvas, all coming from same school, same age, gender, painting from same angle. Are judges comparing apples to pears to grapefruits to melons? What's proper? I'm not going to judge.
Subjects are too far away for a proper portrait attempt. I would ask to move closer or chose to take photo if not allowed to move closer.
Photography is a tool. You might as well complain 'they are using store-bought paint; that's cheating!'
