I really hope you will keep adding videos, I will be an avid viewer. Between your lovely art and accent, I’m absolutely mesmerized. Feeling incredibly inspired.
I’m a new fan of yours! Bought your class today and already made some black pages and my first cutout paper collage for inspiration to make an art book. I’m new to art and struggling to find a “starting point” and boy did your class help me with that! I’m very excited to get up early and make pages! I enjoyed this video about inspiration from books as well and I’m amazed at how many pages of gorgeousness you make from one inspiration, wow.
Oh goodness thank you so much Mary for your lovely enthusiasm. I so hope you enjoy making and playing with your art journals, thank you for taking the class and wishing you every success with your creativity and art making. xx
So so so thrilled you are on You Tube now. I love your work so much. You are a huge inspiration of mine. I hope to one day get to take your classes. All the best to you…oh great one of amazing sketchbooks❤️ Take Care, from a big-big-BIG fan of yours … Beth
Wow, before I found this video. I started to do just what you have suggested here. I decided I wanted to get the essence of what I see from the book and translate that into an art piece in my sketchbook. Love you work. Thank you for the tip.
Thank you, Helen, for the great idea. I don't have any art books right here eith me so I went to my library app and selected a design magazine. Wonderful starting point! Thank you.
You are so inspiring in this video. I went right to my studio and found an old book I wanted to work from. Thank you so much for motivating me. More classes? I did your sketchbook one and really like it.
Wonderful! That is such great news. Thank you. I fully intend to create a new course,, thank you for the cheerleading. I imagine I will start on it later this year...❤️
If you havent already, you could/should collaborate with tile companies. I bet they would love a Helen Wells line! Same deal for wallpaper! Wouldnt be hard for you to design and i bet youd find it an interesting challenge. I could imagine the last drawing you showed, blown up like a mural in some cool shop or cafe!
I hope at some point you will talk about the markers you use. I have issues with some being activated by water, or another marker. I also can’t get really clean lines if I try to use a dark color as a background, like your black background. Some tips about that would be helpful. I’m not so tied to a particular brand but the type of the base make up of the markers. Some marker pigments seem more intense than others.
Lovely video, I’ve done my own mini drawing in response to your beautiful book and the interesting plant! Thank you for a colourful prompt for a grey rainy afternoon 😊
Great idea Helen. It got me thinking to take out different Pages from my collection of 2 years of the Magazine Country Living, put the Pages two by two into see through sleeves and put them into a ringbinder (do you call itthat in English?)

@@HelenWellsArtist I’m interested in how to take your inspiration from book and transfer from realism to more abstract? Or whatever
HAPPY BOOK DAY! I’m sure it includes sketchbooks!
If you havent already, you could/should collaborate with tile companies. I bet they would love a Helen Wells line!
Same deal for wallpaper! Wouldnt be hard for you to design and i bet youd find it an interesting challenge.
