PAOTY Blogging has started - within the new rules!

Normally we never see any blog posts from artists who have participated in the filming of Portrait Artist of the Year in April until after their episode is broadcast early next year.

However apparently the rules have changed - and at least one artist has now taken advantage of this.

The NEW RULES are

As part of the artist contract which you signed prior to taking part in the competition, we asked that you refrain from posting about your participation in the competition until the show airs later this year. We have since revised these guidelines so that you can post about your involvement in the online gallery.

Therefore, if you would like to post about being an artist on PAOTY series 10 and your subsequent participation in the online gallery, please feel free to go ahead. We ask only that you a.) Don't reveal the outcome of your heat or how well you or any other artists did, and b.) Don't share any images of the artwork you produced on the day.
These were communicated to me by Gail Reid who has obviously asked if she could write about about aspects of her artistic life - excluding what actually happened during the filming inside Battersea Art Centre, any images of the artwork and who won!

To date, she's published two blog posts

  • Lights, camera, action! (July 2023)
  • PAOTY STRATEGY, MATERIALS & DEMO (16 August 2023) - in which she focuses on 
    • how to address the four hour time limit 
    • provides a checklist of what she was using/doing at each stage during her test portrait 
    • plus a video of the whole process of painting her son.



Gail is not giving the game away re outcomes - there are NO SPOILERS! However, 
  • she is sharing LOTS of very useful information for anybody contemplating applying for Portrait Artist of the Year Series 11 
  • I highly recommend if you are one of those you have a read AND watch the video!

Call for more blog posts on prep for television!


If anybody else is also blogging and would like to share their thoughts and preparation for avoiding making any big mistakes while being filmed for a television programme please do contact me.
