This is my 3rd time going thru all of the episodes. I learn something new everytime whether it is portrait artist of the year or landscape artist of the year.
Thank you, I also love 💕 this series. There is a such a pleasant way to see artists and sitters, judges and audience in an interesting setting. Just so much to like 👍 and enjoy in this program. Cheers from Oklahoma, USA.
Thanks for the upload, I love that show! The settings for the two woman sitters were garish in my opinion, especially the lip setting..... But the art was lovely
They picked a winner with Christian Hook but will never understand picking the other artist..her work was not even in the same realm that his was didn't come close to how masterful he paints don't understand why she got through. It didn't seem fair to a couple of the others who seemed to be on the same artistic level that he was ... Oh well :-(
Laura over catherine's - seriously !!! 😏 And surprising fact is, Judges selected Laura's art piece by making an exception to their usual selection criteria of "choosing only one". It should have been an amazing excpetional art to have made that exemption but what we get ?!!!
I hated this episode for exactly that reason. And during the semi-final her painting was a disaster. It is very clear that the only time she can paint is if there is a photo on the canvas over which she applies paint. Not an artist, just a replicator . They guy who won was awesome
I am surprised that Laura is even part of final 3 - i am confused about the judges choice or lack of taste or professional expertise to select... anyways, its beyond me, but this art piece of Laura shouldn't be part of final 3. That's for sure. 🤔🤐
Christian's was pure genius. One can only imagine where it could have landed if he had more time and less pressure. This series is too sophisticated for an American audience there'd have to be back-biting, drama, painting hanging upside down with a brush in your nose--the more ridiculous the better.
Wow. Thanks for lumping all Americans into one 'unsophisticated' group. Very close-minded, and rude. I love this series and I'm an American. I also think Christian Hook is amazing.
If Katherine had a better likeness, she may have been the winner. The face was way too round. I, however, was drawn more to Laura's work as it was more atmospheric. And to me Christian's was too much like commercial art, nothing special. All the glum poses are really boring. I hope future series/episodes have more joy and whimsy. Portraits don't have to be serious, as some of the original self portraits have shown throughout the series. And why can't they choose there own angles...where they set their easels, instead of a standard line of site to the subject?
Wow the judges seem to lack all imagination when it comes to choosing pieces. Always these dull colored pieces that are mirror images of the model with a few splashes of paint. Might as well be photoshop filters.
I love all three finalists, and commend the judges for insisting on advancing more than one. Well done! Love it.
The winners have the most inviting smiles I have seen in a while. So welcoming and friendly.
This is my 3rd time going thru all of the episodes. I learn something new everytime whether it is portrait artist of the year or landscape artist of the year.
I love this series.
Thank you for the upload perfect for a Sunday afternoon
Thanks for keeping uploading these series .
Love the collage. Amazing
What a great series! I can't wait for the next one! Thank you very much!
Love watching these - the time just flies by - so brave of the contestants to “perform” in front of an audience and art critics. 👏
I love these videos. Keep them coming!!! Congratulations to all the artists!!🎨🎨🎨
I love this series. 😍 Thank you.
Love this series. I had not seen the earlier seasons until now...I'm glad they changed some of the set up and the less from the judges, the better.
All so amazing. Truly lovely work, and that each is utterly unique. Wonderful.
Christian...of course! 🤩
I love Catherine painting
All are beautiful and not “ ordinary “.
I have really enjoyed the painting with studio. Beautiful portrait painting. Thanks..❤️❤️🎨🎨
Thank you @Reel Truth Documentaries!
Great series, wish there were more to watch, thanks.
I also wish there was another series to watch.
Lucky the contestant who chose Christian Hook’s painting to take home!
I loved his painting too! I can see why the sitter wanted it!
Thank you for posting this!!!
I'm also loving this series, I also can't wait for the next episode.
I would much rather watch this type of show than network tv
Kudos to all of these wonderful artists.
My favorite artistic competition/reality show. 💕👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎨
Christian Hook is a genius!
I love their comments, they are smart, funny, premeditated and spontaneous as much as possible! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😃😃😃👀👀😎😎😎😉😉😉
Thank you, I also love 💕 this series. There is a such a pleasant way to see artists and sitters, judges and audience in an interesting setting. Just so much to like 👍 and enjoy in this program. Cheers from Oklahoma, USA.
Keep these coming, please.
Fabulous...❤️
Amazing series!
As an artist myself I find I learn so much just listening to these guys discuss and critique the art among themselves. So informative.
Yes! And I also love following the process of each artist.
Nice series..this is so inspiring..i hope it won’t stop..💛
Oh, I liked Catherine's so much more than Laura's. Maybe because I'm a makeup artist who's job it is to make folks look better, not worse.
You're not alone.
I didn’t see a Little Girl Lost in Laura’s painting ,I just saw a grumpy old woman ,The actress was so pretty ,
I agree. I love her self-portrait but she made the actress look too old and too sad.
I agree with you 100%
YAY!!!! Thank you!!!😄💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
Thanks for the upload, I love that show! The settings for the two woman sitters were garish in my opinion, especially the lip setting..... But the art was lovely
Thank you!!
I love this program...
Jim is a master of his craft.
In this episode, all sitters really chose the best portrait. Not always the case.
So many great works in this one.
I have a new favorite. Ms Spears. ❤️
They picked a winner with Christian Hook but will never understand picking the other artist..her work was not even in the same realm that his was didn't come close to how masterful he paints don't understand why she got through. It didn't seem fair to a couple of the others who seemed to be on the same artistic level that he was ... Oh well :-(
30:55 For me, I really like how this gives me the impression of an airbrush style medium.
Major talent!
thanks for your update!
I love Frank Skinner, what a great host!
as someone that was with a ton of artists in art school I can 100 percent say that very few were quiet and gentle lol
Wow!☺️❤️❤️❤️
Please enable the closed captioning feature. Thanks.
Christian is amazing !!!!
I don't believe it! O.o
They actually, finally picked the one I liked most too for once!
Laura's painting was one of the worst out of 12. Why was the jury rigged?
i thought i saw hogarth the astrologer's portrait in the intro! can't miss those wings...
It would be nice to see some new contests. Labeled, please.
Laura over catherine's - seriously !!! 😏 And surprising fact is, Judges selected Laura's art piece by making an exception to their usual selection criteria of "choosing only one". It should have been an amazing excpetional art to have made that exemption but what we get ?!!!

Agreed, so weird. I like hers the most out of the three by far.
Does the show pay for the portraits the subjects pick to keep or are the artists expected to hand them over for free?
I feel there were better works to be short listed
Another great series, not a fan of the sets in this one though. 🤔 Christian has my favorite process🙌🏾
I am surprised that Laura is even part of final 3 - i am confused about the judges choice or lack of taste or professional expertise to select... anyways, its beyond me, but this art piece of Laura shouldn't be part of final 3. That's for sure. 🤔🤐
39:36 Laura is just a frail soul she projects her onto everything she creates I guess. I mean just look at her.
I think she's gorgeous
Christian hook is backk!
This is like having desert.
I wish the "experts" were less critical. How can you question an artists process? It's sort of a cruel and useless aspect for me. Just let them paint!
What a surprise but I think it is the right decision
Laura. Seriously. Am I missing something. I feel like poking out my eyes.
Well, it was a nice smock…. ;)
agreed. horrible.
Christian Hook is a great artist ...
Catherine’s was wayyyyy better than Laura’s
I prefer flattering paintings
Christian deserved to win. Laura is young and talented but this portrait didn't deserve it. No highlights, no contrast. Painting looked dead.
동의하지 않음.하이라이트가 꼭 있을 필요도 없고.무슨 아카데미즘인가?
yay
They barely spoke to Hogarth.
The spear and crown portrait is extremely amateur
Really? Christian Hook?
Great artist, but, he's a ringer....not so fair to the others. He's won it before...
I wish he were back. I could watch him non stop. Unfortunately, this is from 2014.
I like Christian work, but after a few paintings you notice that they all look alike.
Christian's was pure genius. One can only imagine where it could have landed if he had more time and less pressure. This series is too sophisticated for an American audience there'd have to be back-biting, drama, painting hanging upside down with a brush in your nose--the more ridiculous the better.
Whether the audience is sophisticated or unsophisticated, these were very poorly executed paintings. Especially Laura's.
Wow. Thanks for lumping all Americans into one 'unsophisticated' group. Very close-minded, and rude. I love this series and I'm an American. I also think Christian Hook is amazing.
Strange...I'm a dim-witted American and I like it just fine the way it is.
I'm an American who is very turned off by the US version of this concept, that's why I watch this series instead.
Wolf dope.
I find those paintings AWFULL! Do the critics have any art training?!?
Jim Strachan should have been on the final 3 over Laura Quinn..her painting didn't have emotions, look quite grade school..it blew my mind
the judges always choose like a kid would
anyone from INDIA
Awe come on, Catherine's was someone much better than Laura. Sometimes this show is just so off the mark.
The judge Kathleen is usually and now predictably a dork.
If Katherine had a better likeness, she may have been the winner. The face was way too round.
I, however, was drawn more to Laura's work as it was more atmospheric.
And to me Christian's was too much like commercial art, nothing special.
All the glum poses are really boring. I hope future series/episodes have more joy and whimsy. Portraits don't have to be serious, as some of the original self portraits have shown throughout the series. And why can't they choose there own angles...where they set their easels, instead of a standard line of site to the subject?
Laura's painting arrests you, that is the point.
M an artist too.. need some support
Wow the judges seem to lack all imagination when it comes to choosing pieces. Always these dull colored pieces that are mirror images of the model with a few splashes of paint. Might as well be photoshop filters.
39:52 never a fan of Kathleen Soriano, but her arrogance and ignorance is astounding here
I didn’t like any of them but I think it’s because of the subjects and their backgrounds.
Yeah the “professionals” are not the best at styling, selecting subjects, or choosing a winner unfortunately
I don't like any of the paintings
