I'm not sure if anyone noticed on another video but Art Curator Soriano speaks the most beautiful Spanish I have heard anyone speak! that is a great talent.
@@kevinroche3334 Here in the States, many people have surnames that are Spanish or Polish or Chinese but you cannot assume that the person speaks the language. Kathleen Soriano, however, grew up in a bilingual household.
A wide variety of imagery styles this time. While Nick's technique is very interesting and quite clever as a portrait it didn't gel for me. The model has a much more sculptural face, not a moon.
The quality of these portraits far outshines that of most of the landscape work we see in this series. But, I’m bothered by the idea of selecting the best three or the best one. Especially by these judges whose critical analysis doesn’t feel to be very high…at least from the comments I hear them make on this video.
Her remark comes off as more subjective/naive than snobbish. In my academic and professional career, I’ve never had a professor, curator, or patron say something so uninformed.
Sign all your paintings on the front. Seven hundred years of signatures and counting versus one ill-informed "judge" and a painter who imitates picture-signer Lucian Freud. Lol!
32:47 are you f'ing kidding me? why are they acting like that guy didn't hastily throw that together because he ran out of time? I'm astounded they're taking that one seriously and they actually picked him for the final 3 ... this is some emperor has no clothes level bs
I am an artist and I absolutely loatheeee listening to people talk about art like the currators dissecting the artist's work. It is one of the most obnoxious things to me. These people just labored for hours and their brains and their hands worked together to create something that only they could do, and the judges just scoff at most of their work, like at one point just going down the line saying "nope, nope, nope, nope" it bothers me to me core.
I feel exactly the same. Especially loathsome is when they talk about what the market wants right now or that they look for freshness of style. Two of the judges probably don't even know how to draw a face....pompuous poopies and arrogant
I feel the same. I find all three of them annoying and arrogant as hell. But especially the sour faced Kathleen with her matching sour personality who always finds something catty, condescending and disparaging to say like “ clumsy brushstrokes” or “ naive” But the cake in my opinion took the old woman who announces the times remaining with such self importance - when she said about Christian’s fabulous Portrait that since it came so easy to him it should count against him! And to encourage the artists not to sign their work is beyond ridiculous!
Well said ! As an artist, it very infuriating to listen to. Like 39:07 when her problem was that she has seen so many times. Perhaps she has seen it so many times because it's great ! It's not like any random person can do it !
@@martinitime3537 HAHA ! All of those are great points. Shows like these should be run by people who have been drawing and painting for several decades, and not some know-it-all people who haven't walked in an artist's shoes.
I wonder if they are more interested in the work that artist could produce for the final piece rather than this specific one? They also sounded like they decided they loved this artists work before seeing this painting. Also for signatures, if people don’t sign the front do they at least sign the back so after they are gone we don’t lose who the artist was?
Something I think one should keep in mind when watching, is that the judges, Evan if they won’t say it, don’t give a damn if the art itself is good or bad, they care about whether it would sell. I think they should have had artists to do the judging, not gallery owners
Or... and not arguing with Your statements, at all, y'all.. i think they get entertained moreso, with the individual process of each individual painter. Judging creators is kinda dumb. Creators are observers. Judges are opinionators. Stupid is as stupid does. Hehe jejeje😊
Her remark was ill-informed. She sounded more like an interior designer than a curator. Some of my most accomplished colleagues began their careers as graffiti artists and still sign their works with their tags.
It's the first season. Later on they settled for one location for every heat and after the third or fourth season they changed to a location with artificial light only to solve the issue of the moving sun they head earlier (there was a venue used with glass ceiling for a while and most artists had issues with light shining through their canvas and with moving shadows on the models). Also they reduced the number of painters to nine per heat, (with six semifinalists and three finalists), and the backdrops and props were minimized too to a painted wall and the same chair for all sitters. I think it was needed to make it easier to finish the pictures in the given time with less busy setups.
I've really gotta into watching this show but this episode has me cringing. Why did the editors and judges seem to ignore Scott Pohlschmidt's full-body painting of the rugby player? we never even see a close-up of the finished product and it wasn't even talked about it all even when they're discussing the rugby player paintings! even though the few glimpses we do see of it it looks like it's one of the best? Maybe it's because the guy owns his own studio or is a professional. It can't be based solely on the painting it just doesn't make sense that they wouldn't even show it in the edit.
The judges absolutely ruin this show. Each season, I pray the producers will replace them. Each season, I'm utterly disappointed. These judges wouldn't have chosen Rembrandt, Michaelangelo, or Velasquez the winner.
It normally takes weeks to finish their paintings, yet they sign up for a 4 hour rush job, hoping for fame and fortune. Ya'd think they'd practice a year in advance doing FAST paintings to at least figure out how to do that.
@@Watkinsstudio there are ways to signs that do not involve signing the front, and no SOME artists do who haven't really thought through what they're doing
This program has come so far. It has evolved into something amazing. To suggest that artists do not sign their work though is just off in left field.
For the love of all that is holy, please PLEASE put Season:Episode numbers in title!
I agree. This drives me bonkers. First you can't find it. And then you don't know if you watched it at all..
Yes! I just got spoiler at the end because this is 4th episode, and I haven't watched third one because it isn't titled properly 😭
It might have something to do with copyright
For damn sure.. Very very very frustrating
30:23 John Affleck did the best painting.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed on another video but Art Curator Soriano speaks the most beautiful Spanish I have heard anyone speak! that is a great talent.
Because her father is Spanish
@@martast.john-anders6448 I guess the clue is in the name?

I sure do miss you giving us an entire painting demo. Love your work!!
I would never have picked these 3. But to each his own, I guess.

Personally I sign all my work because I don’t want someone else to steal it
Michelangelo did that with his sculpture
I sign mine also...I want people looking at it to know who did it and know where they can get one of their own.
You sign your work
Just like all the masters. Don’t listen to the stupid art snobs , they all went to art school ! 👎😂
Kate's remark was so snobbish. Many artist sign their work!

nah, sign the side or back

The judges must have caught flak because they never again spoke against artists signing their paintings. Lol!
Ty😊
Do the artists get to finish the paintings that the sitter chooses? make a few changes and touchups.
It's incredibly hard to find the order of these!!
I'm just flabbergasted, the judges picked possibly THE worst painting as the winner here, my mind is blown 🤯
A handsome man turned into elephant man…wtf
I have to agree
he made his head look swollen 5x its regular size

@@katelynnbray4314 Picasso signed his work. Who cares what a bunch of elitist gatekeepers have to say
Thank you for tip about the signature
08:21 Imagine a male judge telling a model to take off her shirt to pose because she embodies the ideal of female beauty.

Judging creators is kinda dumb.
Creators are observers. Judges are opinionators.
Stupid is as stupid does. Hehe jejeje😊
@@terrygause29653 ty is an artist wanna be, in the form of an egoistic judge.😊
So Rembrandt, Monet, Dega , they all signed their paintings , Is that distracting ? Just saying…..
Of course your work must be signed!!
I have some reservations about any judge who feels otherwise.
That was such a snobbish thing for Kate to say.
Her remark was ill-informed. She sounded more like an interior designer than a curator. Some of my most accomplished colleagues began their careers as graffiti artists and still sign their works with their tags.
@@apocalypse_frau - I don't want to run through the whole video again.
Can you tell me where Kate made that comment?
yes it is
What year was this video from?
All I ask after watching every series is that can someone please change all the three judges.
Kate Bryan seemed so uptight back then. The judges are more relax and easygoing in recent seasons, this must be either the first or second season.
It's the first season. Later on they settled for one location for every heat and after the third or fourth season they changed to a location with artificial light only to solve the issue of the moving sun they head earlier (there was a venue used with glass ceiling for a while and most artists had issues with light shining through their canvas and with moving shadows on the models).

Hmm this old crew (frank) old show...?
8:48 wtf?
Series 1. Ep 4
I've really gotta into watching this show but this episode has me cringing. Why did the editors and judges seem to ignore Scott Pohlschmidt's full-body painting of the rugby player? we never even see a close-up of the finished product and it wasn't even talked about it all even when they're discussing the rugby player paintings! even though the few glimpses we do see of it it looks like it's one of the best?

this show's annoying because they basically give away who's going to be picked with who they highlight, they need to highlight more of the painters
Do the loosers get to keep their paintings?
Yach! No way.
Haven't watched this yet....did you really spoil it with your thumbnail sketch??
The judges opinions are often at loggerheads with my personal one ,no more so than in this episode.
I think it more likely that you are at loggerheads with the opinion of the judges.
The judges absolutely ruin this show. Each season, I pray the producers will replace them. Each season, I'm utterly disappointed. These judges wouldn't have chosen Rembrandt, Michaelangelo, or Velasquez the winner.
You're going to make that poor guy stand for four hours? Somebody should make YOU pose once.
They obviously take a break
It normally takes weeks to finish their paintings, yet they sign up for a 4 hour rush job, hoping for fame and fortune. Ya'd think they'd practice a year in advance doing FAST paintings to at least figure out how to do that.
The one going on about the signatures sounds ridiculous.
What a horrible pose for the lady in green. Very unflattering.
The final 3 didn't impressed me at all.
Horrible choices!
agree with the judges, signatures are horrid
Artists sign their works. The judges' opinions are irrelevant.
