I came across a British program a few years ago when I was learning portrait painting, and it has since become one of my favourite TV shows on YouTube.
What is this program about
"Portrait Artist of the Year" is a British television series that focuses on portraiture, in which artists compete to paint the best portrait of a celebrity sitter. It is a highly engaging show that offers viewers a unique insight into the world of portraiture. The program is also known for its high-quality production, and it is definitely worth watching, especially for portrait artists.
As someone who has been interested in portraits since a young age, this is the perfect TV program for me. Watching the painting process and styles of both professional and amateur artists has been a great pleasure and has inspired me profoundly. I enjoy watching the hosts' conversations as they represent different perspectives when viewing the artwork, and some of them clearly embrace British humour.
Why it is inspiring
One of the reasons I love the show is the featured talented artists in the UK. They come from a variety of backgrounds and use different painting techniques and styles, which makes the competition very interesting and compelling to watch.
The diverse range of celebrity sitters is also interesting, from actors and musicians to politicians and activists. Sometimes they struggle to stay still all the time, and some show very unique dressing style. They are always intriguing to look at and make great subjects for portraits.
Through competition and entertaining production, I think the show has successfully promote the value of art and the importance of supporting artists. It highlights the skill and creativity of portrait artists, and encourages people to appreciate and support the arts.
Every participant is a winner
As it is a competition, there will be some winners and losers that make up the show. Personally, I feel for the artists whose work is not selected. But thinking on the bright side, all the participating artists are winners in their own right, even if their paintings are not ultimately selected as the winning portrait.
The fact that they were chosen means that they have already been recognized as talented portrait artists. Moreover, the show provides a platform for artists to showcase their skills and have their work seen by a wider audience. This exposure can lead to new opportunities and commissions. Additionally, participating in a high-pressure competition can be a valuable learning experience for artists.
Overall, I enjoy the show tremendously. If you love watching art shows, perhaps this should be on your watchlist on YouTube.
