Much, much needed. The judges are just bonkers. I feel like more weight should be given to the choice of the sitter. Who would know more about themselves than them? But well, many, many years have passed, I know, but just needed to voice my thoughts lol
Love this show and glad to come across an episode I have not seen yet. Do disappointed with the outcome. Without going into details, they were very school like.
I think the judges are a little too biased towards nouveau styles, rather than traditional or realistic portraits, and ignore some amazing works. Perhaps the bias is due to time constraints for the tv format. Perhaps they're just pretentious judges.
@@reasonablyserious I don't agree with your opinion. If you look at the discourse of painting through the decades and centuries, there has always been progressiveness that have defined new movements that speak to the times in which the works were made... The judge's statement about not rehashing the past and looking for something different needs to be considered in that context. We all have our subjective preferences in terms of style and aesthetic, and to judge work based on those subjective likes and dislikes, or even what the academy historically venerated, is what I'd consider immature... but the judges are obviously going beyond that to select people who bring something potentially new to the table, which is consistent with the historical discourse of painting, which makes the judging more objective. People seem to be upset that "traditional" and "realist" portraits weren't selected, as an indicator of some inherent bias the judges have... well, they did select Ewan and Louie from season 1 who made it to the finals, and their were was either traditional or realist... but if we look at "traditional" painting, say Manet, he broke the mold of his time, as did Vermeer, Goya or Courbet of their times etc. They were all pushing for something new, to not rehash the past. Even movements like 19th century "Realism" resisted painting as a tool for representing the rich and aristocratic, but instead started representing the average person, which in and of itself ran against the grain of what was considered "traditional" at the time. The point is, among the sea of painters that exist today, who should be venerated? The person who is doing what a lot of people can do, and hasn't brought anything new to the discourse of painting, or the person who has the potential to progress the discourse? Let's not forget that the Impressionists were rejected by the Salon, because their work was not considered to the standard of the academy... If the only painters that were venerated were painters that painted in some kind of 17th, 18th, or 19th academic style, painting would feel very redundant as it would not be a reflection of our current existence.
I love the show since the first time I come across on it in RUclips. But I most of the time wondered in their choices of winners. Definitely I enjoy watching it. Thankful for the show.
I love this show so much. But the editing is so frustrating! Skipping over some of the artist self portraits at beginning and only focusing on the potential winners by not fully showing all the final paintings at the end is such a let down. Everyone worked so hard and deserved to have their paintings seen in full before the judges made their cuts.
Hmmm.. They were all talented but I was surprised by the three chosen. I would think the face should be emphasized and capturing both the likeness and essence of the person is key. I preferred several of the portraits not chosen.
Is it weird that the three paintings that were chosen felt like incomplete work... And others were better and more rich filled with colour combinations.
Because it is 4 hours... so they're looking at what they know as art experts to predict what will happen in the later stages of painting when they have more time.
@@SGF1234 I dont think thats their thought process though. The point of the time limit is to make it more or less your final piece to be judged. Because as great of an artists these “experts” are. They dont have the ability to see nor judge the future. Who knows, maybe the ones that werent chosen couldve changed everything entirely in the next stages which would make it a lot “better”.
Difficult to find the words to express how much I enjoyed this Reel Truth! Tremendous spreading of my wings to experience this high calibre of skill! I cannot draw a stick man......who do I think I am?😊
Gertrude Stein looked at a portrait of her Picasso had just finished and said, 'It doesn't look like me.' Picasso replied, It will one day.' Portraiture is one of the most difficult paintings to do. I like some resemblance and also something of the person's attitude, personality, sensibility. I really enjoy this series!
What part of likeness hinders the ability to portray attitude, personality, sensibility? Would their paintings have suffered if they'd captured more likeness? None of them painted a cubist portrait, they weren't that abstract, so IMO the lack of likeness just wasn't justified by the (relative) originality of their style, it wasn't part of their style, it was just a failure to render likeness, even though they'd actively tried.
When going into something like this you deal with what you have. You saying new judges would be like one of the artists saying the subject wasn’t the right one. Each opportunity is what it is. Non winners can often feel the work they did that day was far superior to any they had ever done. And for that one artist it’s a big win.
If the viewers of this episode agree the new judges are needed… It says some thing about the judges not actually choosing what appear to be the superior artworks

Louis Smith did such a beautiful portrait, it’s sad they didn’t even mention it at the end. Technically I think it was the best likeness and most well painted.
@@rabimondal2806 Yeah i cant believe they chose the water color guy over him or the other girl. There was hardly any value difference in the face. It just looked so washed out and uninteresting. From a distance his head just looked like a blob of negative space. Not to mention there wasn’t a whole lot of likeness there either.
I think that young girl should have made the group of three it was a great likeness to her subject and a natural talent and after all the main goal is to pick someone who's portrait will hang in a gallery so it should be someone who paints likeness and not on just color or abstract view
Frank really should be a judge over the three actual judges. He kind of put them in their place honestly. He’s completely right, this is a competition about the best portrait, which is the painting that best captures and likeness, attitude, and the soul of the sitter. Abstract background qualities and “interesting” aspects of the paintings should not be taken into account unless they actively represent the sitter. This is about the portrait, not about making a radically different work of art just to be different.
if you want realism just take a photo. its faster, cheaper and easier. painting IS about interpretation, if everyone painted the same exact image exactly the way they saw it, that'd be incredibly boring and pointless.
Am I the only one who likes the winner's painting? T_T Really love his choice of color and style. The only issue was likeness. I bet he could achieve it if there was no time limit.
I completely disagree with the judges choice on the selections! The 1st was ok, but it didn’t look like the subject He was supposed to paint. Then his excuse was that he was paying attention to the objects that didn’t even exist in the painting and didn’t have time to concentrate on the subject he was supposed to be painting. What? The second one, the older gentleman, I thought the skin color was too light for the rest of the composition. None of the actual skin matched. I thought it looked like paper, stuffed in a suit. It just was so juxtaposed to the entire composition. Lastly, the third, even his self portrait didn’t look like him. The actual portrait he painted of the young actress looked nothing like her. This made absolutely no sense to me.
I remember when aid was in the art competition 3 y ago ( it wasn’t anything huge just a small and humble competition for fun) and when the lady came to ask me questions I was like Pls go away I have 5 min left 😃
Totally agree! After watching all these episodes this weekend I'm convinced it's blatant racism… The lack of diversity in the artists as well as the judges is despicable… And then when the greatest works of art or not chosen time and time again, The, common denominator becomes very clear
@@freeluigi4444 you have to remember this is in Great Britain only, NOT America. Great Britain is not nearly as racially diverse as most other countries are. And what are you talking about saying lack of diversity in the judges? One of the three judges is Asian…

"Likeness doesn't matter, we want to see something different." Maybe a crayon drawing would suit the judges. This is the problem with art today. Encourage and reward mediocrity, and punish/ignore fine artists.
@@swarnendumukherjee9290 You know I don’t like meanness or ignorance. Did I like these Judges …No I didn’t, but to be cruel about Any Artist is wrong. There is a way of giving your opinion without hurt and being disrespectful to the Artist. Remember your nephew could be sitting there someday and the pride you would feel, and then read a comment or hear one like yours, I think that would cause you great pain in your Heart.
Exactly, that Speech is ridiculous, nothing is new and different anymore, everything has already being seen. There are millions of painters that paint like what they call ‘different’
I was very disappointed with the top three. I thought other artists had more powerful portraits. Art is so subjective. The watercolor piece was too flat.
moral of the story: if you’re afraid of facing a challenge in life that could potentially change your life for the better, just go for it. you might be surprised that what you expect to happen never does and what you never expected, does happen.
Look at Susan Boyle on BGT. Her mother wanted her to stay and care for her until she passed away as Susan's father died when she was little and he left her mother money. Susan had such great talent, but didn't get to have her real chance until after her mother died. She won a local vocal contest and got a Voice Teacher and then he told her she needed to study in London & she found two different teachers, so she was well prepared when she went on BGT.
@@hyderocha-morgan274 that's the problem.Traditional art should be given a higher status for, atleast, nowadays. Rules shall be set by the communities. And salon should be reopened 🤔
@@kanav._ I disagree. If you want all-academic portrait competitions go to the BP portrait awards, where it is difficult to tell one artist's painting from another's. Portrait Artist of the Year is different.
The one they said was muddy was gorgeous to me! and then they picked the shrek painting to be top 3? The ladies were robbed on this one. Way better paintings got no recognition. Raoof's was beautiful though. At least they got that right.
It's very interesting and challenging to have best portrait artist competition . One of these days please invite Mr Vasudev Kamat from Mumbai , he is amazing .
the problem with my art is that i never feel like i'm 'finished'. so 4 hours would hardly suffice. a contest like this is so unlike anything an artist goes through. to have one artist competing against another, like a tennis match. to be judged (by whom?). to select a 'winner' is so personal~ cringe worthy
I agree with this. Yes there was more likeness in other paintings. However the technical painting done by the last three was unimaginable for most artists.
I understand wanting different and freshness. But the main theme/idea of the portrait is the high likeness of the sitter and then add the different and freshness. So in a lineup, a innocent person may end up being guilty since likness isn't that important here.
The young guy that did the water colour should have done the portrait in W&N gouache, this would have given that piece so much more depth and substance JMO.
I totally agree with you…they have a time limit, they are in their own world painting…then people come up and interrupt you and break their thought, or some say break their connection to the painting. They know that these painters are thinking ahead of what they are doing at that moment, just maybe small fine tuning something after they are done with a specific part…and then these Judges walk up and break that concentration. I find it very annoying.
@@BlueBirdsSong I'll second that as a painter. I thought their interruptions cringe worthy, and for what? For the camera? I don't think those conversations added anything, but a conversation after it was all over would have been interesting.
Wished they had have shown a bit more of the final results. The shots of them were scarce toward the end. We get one, brief shot of Emily Wolff's painting when it's done at 34:54 and that's it. Really? You had 44 minutes of video and we get 4 seconds to look at the end result? Pretty pathetic editing.

I understand wanting different and freshness. But the main theme/idea of the portrait is the high likeness of the sitter and then add the different and freshness. So in a lineup, a innocent person may end up being guilty since likness isn't that important here.
rauf deserves every bit that success
Nice Art work
I'm painting portraits and believe me the general public wants the likeness.
Excellent.
Correct judgment..... Thanks
34:37 is magnificent!
Definitely agree!
Love this show. Try to be an artist myself. Never agree with the judges.
Did Raul go onto another contest, and where can I see it?
The young guy that did the water colour should have done the portrait in W&N gouache, this would have given that piece so much more depth and substance JMO.
OH MYLANTA! Judges, leave them alone. They need their time!!!!
I totally agree with you…they have a time limit, they are in their own world painting…then people come up and interrupt you and break their thought, or some say break their connection to the painting. They know that these painters are thinking ahead of what they are doing at that moment, just maybe small fine tuning something after they are done with a specific part…and then these Judges walk up and break that concentration. I find it very annoying.
@@BlueBirdsSong I'll second that as a painter. I thought their interruptions cringe worthy, and for what? For the camera? I don't think those conversations added anything, but a conversation after it was all over would have been interesting.
Charlie?! He gave her the neck of Lou Ferrigno

MORE!
If it's a portrait, IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE PERSON.
Take a photograph.
Ty😊
Wished they had have shown a bit more of the final results. The shots of them were scarce toward the end. We get one, brief shot of Emily Wolff's painting when it's done at 34:54 and that's it. Really? You had 44 minutes of video and we get 4 seconds to look at the end result? Pretty pathetic editing.
I feel the judges picked the worst of the artists as their final three. I was very dissapointed. The audience should have picked them. 😕
