Unfamiliar surroundings.<br />2. Cameras on your shoulders!<br />3. The public making comments within hearing. (its strange how people don’t consider that you can hear them!! same experience when painting en plein air).<br />4.The unusual lighting both sunlight and masses of spot lights.<br />5.And in some cases unfitting backgrounds!<br />6.A sitter who doesn’t sit still for a minute. <br />7. Not even knowing who your sitter will be.<br />8. No choice of where to stand. Some have been really challenged when stuck on the end.<br /><br />I have been painting portraits professionally since the 1980’s and each one is in a situation that I am in control of - lighting both low and spotlights, comfortable seating, background (based on the sitter and their aura). <br /><br />I have completed portraits in less than 2 hours demonstrating to art groups and produced a good likeness - and also taken a month or more to complete official portraits which require complicated surroundings and backgrounds. <br /><br />Its still a compelling programme to watch. Who do you think will win?<br /><br /><br />Podi.lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224465422014465796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-23218086413171480582018-01-25T10:12:10.636+00:002018-01-25T10:12:10.636+00:00I enjoyed this article as much as I enjoyed the pr...I enjoyed this article as much as I enjoyed the programme; you got it exactly right with the links to the artists pages being the icing on the cake.
