  • Painting Graham Norton. This special film joins the Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year 2017 as they collect a £10,000 commission to paint broadcaster Graham Norton.
    Portrait Artist of the Year is a competition art show aiming to find the best portrait painter of the year.
    Each episode features a regional competition and contestants are challenged to produce a portrait of one of three famous sitters.
    As the competition goes on, three artists will remain, and these finalists will have their work displayed in the world-famous National Portrait Gallery in London. The winner eventually receives a $10,000 commission to become a permanent part of the British Library!

    I'm floored that he went the whole way winning and winning using only graphite. Then switching to oil paint and killing it. Master artist.

    • @LadyAstarionAncunin
      @LadyAstarionAncunin 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I though they said he used charcoal at one point, but even so!

    • @goilo888
      @goilo888 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Exactly what I came here to say. He took a real risk working in graphite/charcoal. When I saw his other oil paintings in his home I was blown away.

    • @naurrrre
      @naurrrre ปีที่แล้ว +2

      also he won because they’re related 😂😂

    • @ryanbennettbennett4059
      @ryanbennettbennett4059 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @no if he threw up a stick person I would believe that. But his art is breathtaking. I think the right person won.

    • @tiagodagostini
      @tiagodagostini หลายเดือนก่อน

      To put in a museum like that he knew better. He wants his work to survive for decades and he oil does that MUCH better

  • @erikdaniels6006

    Wow! The final portrait is breathtaking. He certainly deserved to win.

      Yes I don’t think I can add to your comment , it captured Graham Norton not the man we know to be Graham Norton on TV . Outstanding.

  • @jukes243
    @jukes243 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Not only is this man talented but a humble, likeable, man as well. His portrait of Graham moves me.

  • @christosgh5140

    The portrait by Gareth literally took my breath away at the moment of its revelation. Congratulations for a portrait that jolts the inner being of the viewer!

    Tears sprang into my eyes when the cloth was dropped. I could not believe how beautiful it was. He had painted a masterpiece. I knew that he was a great painter and had a wonderful subject. I am grateful just to see this documentary.

    This is a particularly beautiful episode.

  • @cliles6764

    I love Graham Norton and his quick wit and animated personality. Gareth went beyond what we see on tv. Anyone who knows someone that is so animated and quick witted knows that after the "Bursts" of energy these wonderful people go down and have a tender, contemplative side,. This is what Gareth painted. Gifted Genius painting a Gifted Genius. Amazing!

  • @voxnocturne
    @voxnocturne 2 ปีที่แล้ว +143

    The final commission is simply gorgeous - introspective and moving. Gareth's personal collection shown earlier in the episode was also wonderfully sensitive and understated. What is curious to me is that his drawings throughout the competition were very different tonally and stylistically. This portrait of Graham was utterly unexpected based on what we saw of his charcoal drawings. During the season, I had the impression the judges chose to advance Gareth in part due to his choice of medium (in addition to his skill, of course). I wish they had been at the unveiling to share their thoughts.

    • @drivethrupoet
      @drivethrupoet 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It seemed very odd they were absent. I wonder if their egos were floating on the idea that they were introducing (the first?) graphite artist to that gallery.

    • @tereasia
      @tereasia ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, so odd for them not to be there!

  • @edwardjohn5
    @edwardjohn5 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I can't stop looking at the painting... You can see the contemplative Graham. But you can still really see his cheerful personality quite blatantly even in those beautiful muted colors... Genius Gareth!

  • @jeanhargis7333
    @jeanhargis7333 2 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    I think this is the best portrait so far! He looks real in the painting! Excellent work! And I really like the artist and Graham at the end!

  • @nostalgic324
    @nostalgic324 2 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    This is crazy. It's like it was meant to be, synchronicity.

    • @alanatolstad4824
      @alanatolstad4824 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've been struck, from the beginning, about how uncanny their resemblances are!

  • @kasperorganics-organiccott6881

    I absolutely love the final portrait. It truly deserves its place in the gallery.

  • @melmcd100
    @melmcd100 2 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    Tremendous job of capturing Graham’s likeness and soul … and to discover that these two very talented men are actually related, as well! This has been a heartwarming documentary.

  • @grcdcknsn
    @grcdcknsn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I love how much footage they added of the sittings they had together and listening to them talk because they had such a nice connection and it was beautiful watching him work

  • @lrdstrahd1
    @lrdstrahd1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This portrait blew me away. I am so glad he decided to do it in paint. His drawings are no less impressive. But, for me, Graham needed to be painted. He is a larger than life personality and this artist understood that and did justice to the man painting him as himself and not the "entertainer" everyone knows and loves. Bravo.

  • @loripettit6830
    @loripettit6830 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    I thoroughly enjoyed watching Graham’s portrait come to fruition. Not only was his likeness captured, but also his soul. Well done! ❤️

    @alisab63 2 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    A beautiful portrait and two such authentic, likeable people - AND they're related. I have so enjoyed watching this show. I can't wait to visit Ireland.

    Incredible artist Gareth captured Graham so beautifully. There’s a slight smile in his eyes though his overall expression is on the serious side. Inspiring and worth of its new home. Bravo!

    @pleinaire8698 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One of your BEST portrait commissions!! Gareth's incredible talent captured the 'soul' of this man. The only problem I saw was that light wicker chair....made him looked somewhat squashed.?!

  • @marymintz9147
    @marymintz9147 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Look at the two of them standing together around the 35:00 mark, and it's not surprising to find they are related. What an amazing artist.

  • @CrazyCrystal8175
    @CrazyCrystal8175 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

  • @laurawoods7867
    @laurawoods7867 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The final painting shows the real Graham at rest in his homeland. And then on top of that, Graham and the painter are related; as verified by his lovely mother. What a wonderful coincidence.

    This was really encouraging for me! As someone learning to draw and paint on my own, I'm having difficulty letting go and just being loose with things as I start out and go along, but seeing him move that composition around on a canvas for so important a painting *really* convinced me as nothing else had up to this point that I need to let go so I can find my style. It would have been pretty keen to have seen a drawing go into the gallery, but the painting is just great! The likeness is incredible.

    Extraordinary! What an amazing job... Gareth really captured him... in a totally different style than he won the competition .... I was nervous before the unveiling when i realized he didn't do it in charcoal..But no need to fear . Gareth did himself and Grahm and Ireland proud!

  • @kissedbysun2517
    @kissedbysun2517 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A very lovely and powerful portrait! I'm so pleased! I'm kind of glad the judges weren't there to say any number of silly things about it. Graham's mother's seal of approval was worth more than all the nitter natter the judges would have said. I think this is the most successful commission I've seen from portrait and landscape combined. So often they fall flat and are disappointing, but this one is a triumph!

  • @stonew1927
    @stonew1927 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Fantastic! But how come none of the judges were present for the reveal? I would have liked to have known their response. After all, they were the ones who chose him.... As for the portrait itself, it's outstanding. If there's anything about it I'm not too crazy for it's the chair he's sitting in. But everything else is executed in the most exquisite way. Love it!

    The guy did an absolutely stellar job. All of his choices are right on. It depicts the Graham Norton who we imagine on those 10-month sabbaticals. No cameras, no finely tailored suits, just the Irish gentleman who's paid his dues and gives himself time to rejuvenate. What's not to love about this painting.
