I paused and came back and saw a model and thought that’s quite good before realizing it was the actual model being very still and not a portrait. Lovely artists too. 💖
The Girl with the Crayons is a Genius! 19 years old, her submission was her first ever Portrait! I wonder what her Paintings would look like in Aquarelle or Oil!
Another suggestion for those who don't like the odor of oils, water mixable oil paints! Clean up is with soap and water and you can thin the paint with water as well. Virtually no odor and they come in a wide array of colors. There is even a medium you can add to regular oil paints to make them water mixable. No reason to ever use regular oil paints again.
It’s not recommended to use water as a thinner ,just to clean with it. and adding regular oils to them will eventually nullify the water mixable qualities of the paint .
@@chubbyjaydrawsi believe they were referring to a medium from say Shimnke that I know of that you can mix with regular oils and it makes them water soluble as well. So you can paint with all kinds of oils, yes. I personally do use the water to only wash my brushes.
,,,great show! I absolutely can't bear to hear it, yet again, when someone says they don't oil paint because of the odour. Do yourself a favour, a life-changing favour, and just leave the flippin; turps outside where you can clean yer brush in 9 seconds. The paints do not stick up the house the pete's sakes! Ok, I feel better now...
It's very interesting how despite having the model in front of their eyes, the image captured by the photo has become the model itself, not as just another tool, but as an indispensable part of the painter's problem-solving process.
Frank's seething injustice is palpable when he talks to the judges at the end. Understandable, as even though the winner's was ok, others had way more talent and likeness, like Jamie's one of Rachel and Arek's one of Rachel were just astonishing.
@@chubbyjaydrawsnormal things in the world of art. Those who decree the fame and success of an artist are never other artists but rather gallery owners and art critics (who are NEVER artists themselves)
I'm glad the hosts questioned the judges' choices. I questioned them also. A portrait that doesn't look like the subject???? I'd love to know why they don't like Jamie Green- he's obviously the crowd favourite...or is that the reason? The crowd knows nothing??
I didn't think Lisa deserved to be a finalist, much less the winner. I thought other paintings by finalists and those who were not selected as finalists were much stronger than hers.
Rachael forgot to get dressed ,two of her portraits were lovely,I didn’t think the winners painting was a good likeness as with the other paintings of the young actress.
