12 Artists Paint Until the Sun Rises (The Outstanding Artist - S3 E2) 

All the paintings are the same, different images but the same style and approach, its very odd......the 'judges' all very self important. Nonsense really.

Is it an art competition or a competition of adversity. If you can’t function staying up all night, does that make you a worse painter? It’s a testament of your body type.

I've been an artist over 20 years. I find this show to be very brutal!!! I would never place myself in a position like that as an artist. And I definitely wouldn't recommend a new artist to walk in that path. It was very difficult to watch these eliminations. I had thought about joining the online "Milan Art Institute" program, there's no way I would join this program!!! Especially if this is the way they operate! We have to stop getting involved with other "Reality" chains. It's not the artist way. We are here to be creative and to and joy to the world, not to devastate a promising artist's career. Even if things turns out for some, the end does not justify the means. I find this show to be very disheartening!!!

You should show the painting of each contestants when they Get up for the elimination

If the goal is to break an artist’s spirit I think they’re succeeding. The concept goes far beyond a challenge!! What are the living conditions the artists are being given? I hope they were given sufficient recuperation time after this challenge! The only good news is that most of the artists love their work and see it as an expression of their own unique stories. But the judge’s critiques fail to appreciate that. I hate to see some of the artists feeling broken!

I love every artist ‘s work but the competition takes the joy out of art. The “judges” are the worst examples of critics, who can actually destroy an artist’s creativity. I wish they’d find a way to encourage rather than discourage them! And shame on them for taking their overalls!!!

They should stand each artist next to her painting during the elimination and talk about what works and what doesn’t. Why are they “safe”? Why are they eliminated?

Just realised that this is just a big promotional show for the Milan Institute. 🙄😄

It’s very cliched to have a midnight painting challenge because “what artist hasn’t painted beyond midnight”. We each have our own body clock. This is more of a “who can paint through hoops” thing. I’m disappointed

I'm really sad to see them give back their overalls! It would be such a nice keepsake... but I did not organise the event.

A sadistic art competition, not cool. I considered joining their program. The first two episodes have given me the insight to pass. If your art looks like their art then you’re a good artist? Please, please, please if you’re reading this, find your style and run with it. You’ll find your authentic audience that resonates with you. Ya know, how art should be.

I love the outstanding artist but I have to give some constructive criticism. Can you show the artwork of each artist? Im honestly not really sure what a lot of them painted and when you were in the studio, we couldn’t see what you were talking about. Im sure it was just the awkwardness of the tight space, but I hope as the show goes on, we get to see more of the art 😊

Please show more of the painting process!

Too much talking and interviews, please show more of the painting process!

Judges are hard to believe. Their critiques are trashy and off the wall. I'm turning sound off so I can watch the artists.

That was a very hard challenge I give the group a lot of credit congratulations to all.

Why in the world would you produce such a huge departure from what you claim to represent? It's weird.

Let's see the art!!

Naomi is the best artist in this competition !!!! it’s ridiculous she’s been eliminated … the judges obviously have no idea

All the art seems to be fantasy!

They’ve all been so influenced by internet art…Japanese anime, cartoon style. That’s why it all looks alike. Too bad, because I think they’re squandering they’re God-given creativity.

I woulda lost my mind painting in that cramped room and then someone plays annoying music on their phone. I like seeing what they make for each challenge but the “reality” of this show isn’t my fav at all. Sunburns first challenge now hot cramped room no chairs?

as much as yes, it is very clever to put something like this together, with a great prize at the end; so kudos on that. AND in viewing this I will totally unsubscribe from ALL of these channels as I find this whole thing completely heart breaking "this is good, this is good .... this is bad........" WHOA!! according to what freakin standards?? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder my dear ones. This competition/process is quite sick. I hope all the artists participating go through some sort of deprograming after the competition ends so they can heal from so much unnecessary artificial and contrived stress, and rediscover their OWN unique and beautiful creative instincts and approach once again. I don't want to see anything like this in the creative world of painting. I am pretty floored. but maybe that is the reaction the Milans want for ratings. Adios and good luck and good night.

So pointless to make them work these hours, can you imagine Bake Off doing something so inane?

Seriously?? Selling the products and the program is the only objective here. I feel badly that the artists are being used as pawns. Wonder if these people have ever been personally faced with any of theses ridiculous challenges?!

I love this show and the milans and all they do! But i think this show would be a lot more meaningful if they didn't eliminate the artists. Instead of elimination they could keep a tally and at the end see who is on top. Every single artist makes bad paintings. And i feel like this show is telling artists that they can not. Just a thought though

So hard to watch these amazing women struggle within themselves, but knowing that the challenge will make them each grow as a person. This has inspired me to want to create my own self-portrait as hero! Will it be a win? Will I grow? Look forward to seeing the next episode! Well done everyone.

Yes, this episode absolutely inspired me to continue working on my art. I work in my tiny college student room with all my degree notes. clothes, the bed. The space is VERY cramped even for one person. I know what it is also to be in a room with 50 other artists bumping elbows to each other, trying to focus on the same subject in under 2h and a half. It is possible to do art. It's challenging but possible.

Naomi was one of my favorites, her expression of her story was powerful 👏 ❤️

Oh my goodness. I just hope by the time I’m finished with the course that I can create like these amazing artists!

Enjoying this show. It would be nice if each artist had one minute to explain the inspiration behind their painting before it is judged. Perhaps share the title of it and meaning behind it. Personally, I enjoy knowing the back story.

It is so absolutely disgusting that Outstanding Artist does not allow the artists to keep their overalls! What on earth is the show going to do with overalls customized for the artists, painted by the artists themselves and which have the artists' names on them? So stupid and a waste!

That is ridiculous! Cramming all the artists into such a small room. Artists need room to breathe! Plus No chairs! Terrible! A group can still bond with a bit more space than that…..what are they thinking….this looks bad. 😔👎

feel it was cruel to work on your knees and that small space... I mean neighbor invading your bubble, no air... never mind the time of day. Just Awful

Why were they not given chairs, or have an easel that raised up so they could stand? You should not expect sharp edges from painting on your knees, or painting in your lap. Having very little space is one thing, but painting while sitting on the floor is not right.

There is very little focus on the art itself. I wish they showed each art piece in detail.

I loved the hands painting. Just goes to show how subjective art is

Why don’t they SHOW THE ARTWORK????!

I don't even know who did which painting. It has no value for me because there was no real critic one can learn just reality show.

omg and the girl who survived all the cancers and painted her hands making it through It... got exited!

Super frustrating that they spent SO MUCH TIME advertising for the institute and didn’t even show the paintings. Going forward I hope they realize people are watching an art contest show to see art. Except for the winner and loser I have no idea who painted what.

these are professional artists???

I’m really loving this!!! I love seeing art competition!

judges are POOR at critique...."good", "this one not good"; why do all these paintings look as if they were painted by the same person??? All contestants seem to come from the school of graffiti.

Please show everyone with his painting when judging ..and your comments..

❤ love this!!

not only pushed to the limits , but beyond , another episode I enjoyed , looking forward to the next.

Such a shame Naomi was eliminated. I love her work & it was so sad to hear her question herself as an artist after the first challenge, when I thought her painting was one of the strongest. I can see that this particular painting required an explanation, as until I heard her explain it, I wasn’t sure what she was portraying, but I still thought it was evocative of emotion. I think the contestants hearing the specific criteria they’re to be judged on as the competition is announced would be useful - not sure if that is just edited out. Then hearing the judge’s critique based on those criteria with close ups of the art so we can see what they’re talking about. So it’s not just “I don’t like this, disappointed by that” etc. Also, really making it clear which artist is linked to which piece, especially when there are so many contestants. And I do feel that giving contestants an entire week & then eliminating one or a few based on points across the week would be a better format. I know you’re going for the drama aspect, but this is also about the art.

😂 Relating to the reaction for the box 😁, I'm more excited to get new paints than any clothes, shoes or whatever. Cant wait to see who wind this one.

The male judge was prejudicial having already deciding in his mind how they would be painting. Also the reason the paintings are all the same, did they all take the milan program??

Please hand in your overalls...shaking my head. There is so much opportunity to truly discuss what works and what doesn't (criteria, actual pedagogy), celebrate the process and recognize that the process itself is challenge enough. There is much that is good about this show, but much that can be improved. That is said from an art educator. All the best ...

Ive watched a lot of this kinda show and this one… odd. I mean they aren’t trying to help them get in the right headspace. They’re really trying to make them hot, and uncomfortable and make it harder on them . Then they expect their art to be above and beyond. They HAVE TO have better options for locations than this. They could have fans or something. Open windows? Air conditioner?

Huge props to Bouboulina museum and the island of Spetses. I believe the subject, Laskarina, should have a huge Hollywood movie about her life. Why hasn’t she??

8 hours in a small room! Well done to everyone loved seeing the final piece's, the excitement and adrenaline though ❤ Lokking forward to the next episode 🎉 Can that Art box be shipped to South Australia? 😊

This is like Rupaul's drag race for artists!! and I'm here for it! finally a show for artists 😍

You take their overalls? That's their art!

It be cool if it was like you can only paint with leaves you can’t use brushes or you can only use spray paint or only paint with your hands lol or you will be painting blindfolded or you can paint but using dollar store items that would be so cool!

As an artist, I really hate these competitions. I realize each challenge is designed to push the artist to explore art from different experimental angles that each would not usually or ever implement in their work. However, I honestly think these challenges hinder an artist by stifling an artists creativity and destroy an artist's inner spirit. I just breaks my heart to see all these young women doubting everything they've each learned along their personal journey up to this point in art. Art should challenge you but not break you at the same time. It should be freeing and flowing and spiritual. Just my opinion. 😞

If this was a contest for crying and not painting...they would all win 1st place..wow...

I really loved Bri’s painting I must admit. Definitely a tough challenge. It’s so difficult for anyone to spend that much time in a hot room together, especially artists who’ve already just been hammered. It’s always hard when being assessed to figure out what the judges want. Then when challenges are made extra brutal like this, it’s extra tough. Do the contestants get more extensive feedback from the judges rather than just “you’re safe. You were too literal”?

This is a boring program. I hope for the next challenge, they prohibit any depiction of faces, animals, or sparkly, flowy "waves". This stuff is all garbage!

Love the philosophy aspect of these episodes because Ellie KNOWS the mental stamina of a winning artist.

1.I think we all have two choices… think positive ,be happy about it and think negative , be bitchy about it. If someone does not know a “Reality” show is designed to be entertaining rather than informative. So this is a kind of reality show . And you should be asking yourself are you looking for drama , entertainment or full on education/information. 2. Who does not want Money, who does not want to grow, who doesn’t want to have a good/decent life , we all do. They are doing the same thing there is nothing wrong if you advertising your own stuff. 3.If you see their channel they have multiple choices of videos from where you can learn and trust me they did a very good job. 4.If you follow the show in a positive way you will understand…it’s all about giving you tough times and how you overcome that … if someone unable to do it, that does not mean the artist is a bad artist it just … it actually means from the artist view (if you are a positive thinker)… oh ok till now I was thinking I am good but I really need to work on this to be better , I learned my weaknesses I need to work on it. 5.about the art style …they all are from Milan institute…obviously they like their art style that is why they joined their institute. There is lot of art institute/ college etc out there. But if someone chooses to join Milan it’s an individual artist’s own choice. 6. And I think their painting was judged on the basic components,elements, principles of arts , how they used all these in a tough situation. I really like it how the channel help people ❤

I see many comments of people who think this competition/challenge in art is "disheartening" "brutal" "wrong" "not what artist community is about". However, in the real world, the world of art is truly brutal. There are tons of art competitions that take place all around the world every year and in every competition there can only be one winner. In addition, the professional world of art is just as hard. Different galleries have all sorts of requirements and different tastes, and every artist who applies definitely does not get in! Social media is also a very important aspect for many artists, and it is truly disheartening when a video or post of work that an artist worked so hard on does not perform as well as their peers who have thousands-even hundreds of thousands- of followers, likes, and comments. If a person is very sensitive emotionally, then this type of competition isn't for them. An artist who participates needs to realize that there are different audiences for every artist and not everyone will love their work, and that this competition with extremely time and materials restricted challenges with a few judges does not reflect them as an artist or their work created under normal conditions. Others compare this series to reality based tv shows, and I disagree. There isn't any drama, people backstabbing and plotting against one another, romance, distasteful behavior, bad role models for younger people, etc. that is typical in reality shows. It shows the challenges, short interviews about the challenges, and critiques by the judges. I don't think this show is something that should make someone think badly of the program, but positively because it is offering a great opportunity to artists to learn their weaknesses and strengths, to grow stronger emotionally as an artist, to learn different skills and strategies as an artist, to spend time with other artists, to win $25K, and it is a great opportunity to get their name out there. There are a few things that concern me about the program, one being that in season two and the few episodes of season 3 I have seen that the artists all seem to paint very similarly to the instructors instead of in their own style, and they are encouraged and incentivized to paint like the judges/instructors as those who progress seem to paint the most similar to the instructors in the challenges. In season 2, those who were eliminated earlier and who had the lowest scores in the mini challenges were those who had very different styles. But, that is just my opinion. Anyway, I enjoy the show and I plan on trying some of the mini challenges from season 2 on my own at home to push myself and for fun.

I agree that I would never put myself in that position, there are positives and negatives about this show,

This guy judge saying “I wish this and that wasn’t there… “ well you made them work on a tiny canvas for 8 hours! Expect ALOTTTTTT

So three artists are safe but we have nonidea of what they painted

I hope they’re coming in far before one minute before they need to be done. And maybe him not talking the entire last minute 😂 some parts of this show irritate me. Thank God they’re all great artists

Wouldn’t dream of painting all night, i need my shut eye or am duff

This whole concept is a huge departure from what you claimed to be, as spiritually awakened art teachers who wish to inspire humanity. Only months ago you posted videos discussing the frigid harshness of traditional art schools, and now you are practicing that very model. Very disappointing.

I can’t believe it how girls are so TALENTED ❤️Naomi is my best 😆 analytical, but others girls just so touchable inside . I was picked the same paint- INCREDIBLE ballet flats in the tippy toes , girl with astronaut 👩‍🚀 very proportional with logic, girl with animals are hunting girls for a strong man 😆( dear , leopard, wolf with injured 🤕 eyes) girl with imagination is interesting ( without eyes, just leaps touching the sky ) hands is so hard to paint, one of the girl braved for tried .

Idk who painted what or if we saw all the paintings, or which ones they are talking about in judging.

Why only young women?

The other thing is they are I believe painting with acrylic which I find difficult being an oil painter. Its hard to make it grow as it dries too fast

Would have been so much more interesting as one watcher wrote if we could see each picture by each artist. Other wise very c9nfusong, would have appreciated commentary regarding the paintings,

S2 was completely different. Much more emphasis on the art. They had mini challenges at the beginning of each episode and a main challenge and all of it went towards their score. Also a lot more diversity in how the artist ps expressed themselves. The episodes were longer too. I don’t like how this season feels already. John wasn’t one of the judges in S2 either and the woman were more thoughtful in their critiques.

Just show the viewers the art please! We want to see all the paintings. We are here to see artwork more than anything but are left disappointed. Is this about art or about watching people get their dreams crushed?

Wish they worked on explaing the challenge parameters better since the last season but it seems its the same old confusing "rules."

What type of paint did the contestants use ?

Enjoyable competition!

C,est le kolanta de la peinture ,lol.

More art, less talk...

A lot of criticism in the comments, not all of them fair. Even so, I think the first two seasons had much more substance. This one is rather contrived.

You guys need a writer on staff. "Turn in your overalls"? How bout "The work has been judged, time to paint over the canvas. Now get the xxxx out." ? Or.... "Red and blue makes purple. Yellow and blue makes green. You did your very best. But the results should not be seen. Now get the xxxx out." ? Or... "The life of an artist is hard. Some days are a hassle. You worked to create a masterpiece. Sadly, you're no Picasso. Now get the xxxx out."

I paint but I wont be able to be put in a limited box. I think Paint under that kind of pressure will block my percepción, And creativity. ………

Bree is such a sweetie

Making them hand in their overalls is the stupid twist thing I could imagine.

Tell me a song from this video i need to boost my energy

Maybe put episode 2 first.. in front of Title like I had to check everyone smh

I am getting annoyed by the challenges. Why not just allow each woman to paint and have the focus on the painting and not the stupid challenges

Who the hell is this old guy?

Why are you taking their overalls ….😮

They all seem to have a problem with arms and arm muscles.

Judges are too critical without giving reasons. I don't like it shoulder be heard.

Again how terrible to put Al that girls all night in that tiny room. What á stupid way of challenging! And that women from the judges is so negative and awful. I Never agree with her and the way she gives her opinion is so arrogant. I think judging like this is so stupid! Really like the painting from the Dutch girl! Bold and á Very Good job! Don’t listen to that women! You where great! And I loved the painting of Naomi also her first one!

After getting to the 2nd episode. It's the ads every 3 minutes turned me off. I mean it is no Face-Off or Work of Art (Great shows I wish would comeback) But, I like just seeing creation. But, I feel I watch more ads than anything. Advertising has gotten way the hell out of hand beyond ridiculous.

She didn't even get to keep her overalls.

He says some stupid comments…., someone should have given him a script

That music was dumb wth

This is not about art. It is a very long commercial to sell their program. Very fake.
