T Stands for Tuesday

 Hi Everyone!

 

Today I'm joining T-Day with 

Elizabeth and Bleubeard. 

 

Today I ask, do you watch art shows? Not youtube but art challenge, art history or just painting shows? Of course I do. In fact these shows have helped me go from this

 

 

to this

 

 

To what I'm creating now.

For me there is an improvement.

 

 

So what art the shows I have been watching. Of course number 1 is 

Portrait artist of the year in the UK.

 

I enjoy the entire show. The format is excellent. I also have connected to all of the judges and the host.

 

There are 12 seasons and I watch it on Prime.

 Along with this there is Portrait Artist of the year Australia. 

 

I will say I have NOT connected to the judges of this show, but I watch for the art. 

 

I also watch this on Prime. 

 Now there is Portrait Artist of the year in Norway and Denmark not available in the US.

 

Other art shows I watch are

 Tai-Shan Schierenberg, who is one of the judges on PAOTY UK has a show called Artist of the year masterclass.

On Prime 

 

Kate Bryan another judge on PAOTY UK has several youtubes but TV type shows of the history of art. They are magnificent.

Here is just one.

 

There are other shows too like, Landscape Artist of the year. 

On Prime 

 

Extraordinary Portraits 

is an inspiring BBC TV series that pairs unsung heroes and everyday people who have overcome adversity or achieved remarkable things with some the UK's top artist to have their portraits painted, drawn or sculpted. 

It is a fascinating art show.  On Prime.

 

 However, while I was sick in bed I found this gem. And yes it is on Prime.

There are only 2 seasons. The first season I found so much fun and enjoyed very much. For the second season, they changed the format and it is not as fun for me. But let me explain the show. Season one, amateur artists have one hour to create a full body (from life) portrait. Each one of the artist take a turn at being a model. Some of the artists have never created from life before. The model chooses the winner. 

 

Diana Ali is the art mentor on hand that gives advice to the contestants. 

I'm featuring her next week on SITAR.

 

When Mr. M. saw a glimpse of the show, he says, "you could do that." ha ha ha, he has so much confidence in me. Then I thought. If I take a photo of the model off the TV, then I could create along with the show. That would be fun.

The second season is totally different. Diana Ali did not return as the on screen mentor. The show was  revamped to remove the expert advisory role completely. More on that on SITAR.

Season 2 is actually named  Drawers Off (subtitled The Big Naked Painting Challenge. The contestants no longer model and the people that do model are as stated, Naked. 

This was the first model season 2 episode 1. Yes, he is butt naked. 

Each contestant votes on the art and the highest number wins. The grand price is £1,000.

These are just a few of the shows I watch. Let me know what you watch for your art adventures.

 

My drink this week is,

I put a Coors light in the freezer and drank it iced. 

This is not my photo.

Hope you enjoyed the post.

BTW some of these shows are on Tubi.
