Portrait Paint Off 2025

On 15th August 2025, ten top portrait artists joined us at our studios in Stroud and spent a day painting from life. We filmed them painting, interviewed them, and talked to the judges. The result is a fascinating 90 minute documentary, full of insights about their processes and painting in general.
