, , , , , , , , Edit
This is a review of Heat 4 of Portrait Artist of the Year - which this calendar week saw half dozen amateur artists in addition to 3 professional person artists

You tin run into links at the halt to my reviews of the foremost 3 episodes.

Heat 4 of Portrait Artist of the Year


The Professionals


Three professional person artists were:
  • Jamie Green (Instagram) - historic stream 27, based inward Manchester in addition to a shortlisted contestant inward 2017 - who who was dorsum yesteryear virtue of viewers of Sky voting for him to last the creative somebody they'd most similar run into again. He has a really potent trend which I approximate is "a fleck similar marmite".
  • Etha Gurak?? - an Eyptian yesteryear birth, who studied fine art in addition to a professional person creative somebody inward Cairo before getting married in addition to coming to alive inward London 10 years ago. Her self-portrait took her 28 hours in addition to she listened to an "inspiration playlist" piece she painted which included 'Eye of the Tiger"
  • The Bankside Staff Show Private View 2018. I thought the pilus looked vaguely familiar!
I took early on retirement moved to Suffolk to costless upwards the coin I needed to become to college. I studied at Heatherley’s School of Fine Art inward Chelsea, because it was the entirely School which had a Portrait Diploma at the time, in addition to I liked the thought of beingness taught yesteryear professional person working artists.
  • Roy Goodman - Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 career inward scientific discipline - he at nowadays lives in addition to plant inward Cornwall. After he took retirement he became a a painter in addition to photographer. In 2007 he obtained an MA inward the History of 20th Century Art from Falmouth University, followed yesteryear an MA inward Photography from Plymouth University inward 2012. He has a ikon which has exactly reached Second Stage of the John Moores Painting Prize.  I'm non quite certain why he has himself downwards every bit an amateur portrait painter since he exhibits inward galleries - nonetheless he generally paints landscapes.
  • Sam Smith - Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 self-taught information technology Manager from Hertfordshire who had entirely painted vii portraits before - including his self-portrait. He learned how to pigment from watching videos on YouTube! Just a petty challenger from a bloke of the same hollo to uncovering his website! 
The sitters were:

Discussions in addition to Observations


Using a grid to acquire the outline embedded


The commentary noted that 8 of the ix artists were choosing to depict inward the outline using pencil, piece ane eyeballed the sitter in addition to dew using her paintbrush. Guess which ane impressed the judges?

Gridded upwards 2 ways on the iPad
The exercise of an app on their ipads to acquire the drawing started in addition to good placed on the back upwards was also really ubiquitous. I tin empathize why people mightiness do this if they are non confident drawing from life - but it does speak to a lack of sense inward drawing from life.

It's been a fleck of fourth dimension since I went to a life shape (or the ane I used to become to at the Royal Drawing School - which was near Putting on an Art Exhibition - Behind the Scenes at the Royal Ulster Academy)

The Amateurs


Six amateur artists brought their kit to the Wallace Collection. They were:
  • Olivia Crossman - uses pastel on canvass in addition to has a somewhat unique technique to her work. She uses a palette knife to scratch at the pastel layers. Produced a really impressive self-portrait.  She had completed a Foundation Art Year at Camberwell College of Art - but was at nowadays pursuing a scientific discipline grade (Biology at Imperial College) in addition to hoped to combine the two.
  • Anna Kenneally - She lately completed a BA inward Fine Art at Bath Spa University - which I think she way she was inward her concluding yr when she painted inward Heat 4. Her paintings on her website accept a potent narrative border notwithstanding or hence are contemporary updates on paintings yesteryear past masters.  She did an Interview amongst Cass Arts dorsum inward 2016.  Her goal is becoming a professional person artist.
  • Aret Shukovsky?? - Comes from Poland in addition to at nowadays lives inward Southampton. He placed an emphasis on wanting to acquire the drawing right
  • The Bankside Staff Show Private View 2018. I thought the pilus looked vaguely familiar!
I took early on retirement moved to Suffolk to costless upwards the coin I needed to become to college. I studied at Heatherley’s School of Fine Art inward Chelsea, because it was the entirely School which had a Portrait Diploma at the time, in addition to I liked the thought of beingness taught yesteryear professional person working artists.
  • Roy Goodman - Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 career inward scientific discipline - he at nowadays lives in addition to plant inward Cornwall. After he took retirement he became a a painter in addition to photographer. In 2007 he obtained an MA inward the History of 20th Century Art from Falmouth University, followed yesteryear an MA inward Photography from Plymouth University inward 2012. He has a ikon which has exactly reached Second Stage of the John Moores Painting Prize.  I'm non quite certain why he has himself downwards every bit an amateur portrait painter since he exhibits inward galleries - nonetheless he generally paints landscapes.
  • Sam Smith - Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 self-taught information technology Manager from Hertfordshire who had entirely painted vii portraits before - including his self-portrait. He learned how to pigment from watching videos on YouTube! Just a petty challenger from a bloke of the same hollo to uncovering his website! 
The sitters were:

Discussions in addition to Observations


Using a grid to acquire the outline embedded


The commentary noted that 8 of the ix artists were choosing to depict inward the outline using pencil, piece ane eyeballed the sitter in addition to dew using her paintbrush. Guess which ane impressed the judges?

Gridded upwards 2 ways on the iPad
The exercise of an app on their ipads to acquire the drawing started in addition to good placed on the back upwards was also really ubiquitous. I tin empathize why people mightiness do this if they are non confident drawing from life - but it does speak to a lack of sense inward drawing from life.

It's been a fleck of fourth dimension since I went to a life shape (or the ane I used to become to at the Royal Drawing School - which was near drawing a head) - but I don't remember iPads inward exercise for that purpose. Maybe they are now?

That said at to the lowest degree 2 of the portraits ruled themselves out because they had MAJOR errors of facial construction in addition to proportion.  Can y'all tell which 2 I mean? At to the lowest degree ane of the artists knows it....

Backgrounds


Jamie Green was using a really odd background for his ikon - in addition to I do believe I spied him bringing it into the Wallace.

Which presumably way that contestants tin railroad train their canvases at dwelling trouble solid in addition to acquire downwards a neutral surface to move and/or a grid. I say that because that was definitely a VERY prepared surface I saw!

It does propose that time to come contestants would do good to acquire this clarified every bit it's a considerable assist if you're gear upwards to become in addition to don't require to railroad train a surface or grid upwards inward the course of report of the 4 hours. It way 4 hours is exactly for the painting.

Light in addition to colour


I'm noticing that they are especially impressed yesteryear all those who know how to
  • modulate in addition to exercise their color palette properly and 
  • paint light
If y'all can't run into color inward pare tones y'all tin surrender in addition to become home!

Practice, practice, practice


It was interesting that Sam Smith had decided to exercise ahead of his rut yesteryear ikon inward his conservatory inward 3.5 hours. As he said he wanted to
  • get used to the overhead calorie-free in addition to how it changed what he saw, and
  • working inside a fourth dimension trammel - adjusted for people coming to verbalize to him. 
It all sounded really sensible!  He also brought a cap amongst him hence that his perception of color was non distorted yesteryear the brightness of the atrium inward which they were all painting. Obviously that ikon inward the conservatory paid off!

I'm noticing to a greater extent than in addition to to a greater extent than that those who took a long fourth dimension over their self-portraits but cannot accommodate to working inside a shorter fourth dimension stream in addition to producing expert work. Unless they alter the way they move every bit Jackie Edwards did.

To me the telephone commutation to success is near beingness able to
  • produce a portrait inside something betwixt 3.5 - 4 hours which doesn't hold off similar ane which dozens of other painters could also make and 
  • achieve a decent likeness of the sitter.

Decision Time


Sitters select portraits


Conlath Hill chooses Louise Crossman's portrait of him
- he liked her technique in addition to thought she'd captured his eyes
I rather similar this section. It says such a lot near a sitter's awareness of fine art in addition to whether or non a portrait is good.
  • Conlath chose Lisa's portrait
  • Stefanie chose the portrait yesteryear the Egyptian lady whose hollo I'm certain I've spelt wrong!
  • Rachel chose the "statement piece" yesteryear Jamie Green.

So that's ane shortlisted slice going dwelling trouble solid amongst a sitter....

The shortlist


The contestants line upwards to uncovering out who has been shortlisted....

 The shortlisted artists were Louise Crossman (Conlath), Jackie Edwards (Conlath) and Lisa Puhlhofer (Stefanie).

The women are genuinely dominating this series. Even before the alternative of Heat Winner nosotros knew it was a adult woman - amongst a jeopardy that Irish Gaelic women mightiness exactly acquire inward 4 out of 4 through to the semi-finals!

Heat 4 - Shortlisted artists - Louise, Jackie in addition to Lisa

I wasn't inward the to the lowest degree fleck surprised yesteryear the Judges' choices. They were the 3 artists who impressed me from the showtime - both inward damage of their self-portrait in addition to the way they started their work.

It reminds me that when y'all create a positive impression right away away, in addition to then y'all accept to do something genuinely awful to lose that standing inward the Judge's eyes.


Self Portrait in addition to Heat Portrait of Conleth Hill yesteryear Louise Crossman

Louise's technique is fascinating. I've seen pastel artists move on watercolour newspaper before but non vertically on canvass - in addition to non rubbing pastel on in addition to and then scraping it off amongst a palette knife. Absolutely fascinating to watch, especially given my ain preference for pastel.

The self-portrait is great. The Heat Portrait rather less hence every bit it's exactly a fleck likewise "mug shot" for me - but that's the penalization of beingness inward the middle.

I think if I was a player in addition to got landed amongst the middle I'd enquire for the model to last alter seat hence I didn't accept a total on perspective.

Self Portrait in addition to Heat Portrait of Conleth Hill yesteryear Jackie Edwards

In my opinion, of the three, Jackie is far in addition to away the most accomplished portrait creative somebody inward damage of work done to appointment in addition to evident on her website. However she land needs to a greater extent than fourth dimension to move to her best - in addition to that's a consideration anybody entering this challenger needs to have.

Also I think she made him likewise dark, when genuinely his pare tone was really pale...

Self Portrait in addition to Heat Portrait of Stefanie Martini by Lisa Puhlhofer

I similar Lisa's color palette in addition to I similar the sensitive way she uses it to both liven a ikon upwards but non "swamp" it amongst effect.

I liked Lisa's self portrait - especially the way inward which she has created a lost in addition to institute upshot amongst the frame of her spectacles hence y'all know she's wearing them but they don't dominate the portrait.

Last calendar week I commented on shoulders - in addition to how hence many people kept getting them wrong. I think she's got the shoulders pretty spot on inward both portraits.

Heat Winner


Heat 4: The self-portrait in addition to the Heat Portrait of the shortlisted artists

The Heat Winner was Lisa Puhlhofer.

Her self portrait achieved a really expert likeness despite a lively color palette.  It took 8 hours to pigment in addition to was intended to reverberate her human face upwards when ikon - thoughtful!

The portrait painted inward the Heat was much to a greater extent than a report than a full-on finished portrait. However she took her fourth dimension over the aspects which mattered, the drawing from observation (with her brush - which impressed at the beginning), the accuracy of the likeness in addition to her ability  to exercise a neat color palette to tackle in addition to brand interesting what was a major challenge i.e. the flawless perfect pare of a fille - without aging her!

As ane of the judges lay it (in effect) she reflected the context she was ikon inward wonderfully good in addition to used the colours of the context to knit together unity inside the painting.

Heat 5

The sitters adjacent calendar week are Elizabeth McGovern of Downton Abbey fame, Harry Potter cinema star Fiona Shaw in addition to Paralympic gilt medalist Kadeena Cox.

I'll last dorsum adjacent Wed amongst or hence other review.....

PS If you're wondering why Sky Arts doesn't acquire a get upwards up the rate of the page, it's because I've come upwards to the conclusion that Facebook makes this post invisible to people if I do!  Facebook genuinely does require to larn near reviews!!!
