I just found this channel!! What a blessing! Am in awe! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and artistic abilities! I hope to learn a lot from you.
Sadly, Helen passed away in 1994. These lessons are dedicated to honoring her remarkable legacy and ensuring that her expertise continues to benefit new generations of artists. Helen was not only a fantastic artist but also an exceptional teacher who inspired many with her passion, creativity, and unique approach to painting. Her techniques and insights remain influential, and the goal is to keep her teachings alive and accessible for everyone who wants to learn from her. So it's great to hear you found Helen. Thanks for posting. It's appreciated.
I started painting 25 years ago. I bought her videos in local art shop in UK. She was big influence on my work, and even today, she helps me through her books. Great teacher!
That's wonderful to hear. It's amazing how a teacher's influence can last through the years. Helen's video lessons and books truly have a lasting impact on artists. It's great that you continue to draw inspiration from her work after all this time.
Thanks for posting and supporting the channel. We hope you continue watching and learning from Helen and her lessons. Obrigado por comentar e apoiar o canal. Esperamos que você continue assistindo e aprendendo com Helen e suas lições.
I was so glad to find this on you tube. I used to watch Helen on PBS and learned so much from her. I have many of her books and treasure them. So much talent. Thank you for posting this.
You've discovered Helen's talent for commentary while she teaches. She has many stories to motivate and inspire, targeted to help students be better painters, but as you say, many about living a happy and fulfilling life. I'm really glad you enjoy listening to her. Thanks for posting, it's very much appreciated.
@@HelenVanWyk Such a thoughtful reply, thank you. As a music teacher, I feel genuinely inspired by her methodical yet creative and encouraging approach. She has a powerful presence and a sense of authority that comes with deep knowledge and experience. Thank you so much for posting her work.
Helen's lifework as a teacher is too valuable to be lost to time. Her lessons will continued to be remastered and shared for everyone to enjoy and learn.
Wow...I just found this...the world needs Helen back...we a can learn so much from her...I have all of her books and few dvds ..the dvds are so hard to find. Its really great to bring her back...instead of he valuable information and teachings being hidden and not shared.
have been watching you tube painters for a couple years, your the first painter I'm commenting on, very impressed with your teaching rather that just watching some one paint a painting. thank you for sharing
I love Helen, and always learn from her demos. Her kind spirit shines through. Got her how to paint flowers book for Christmas last year even though it was hard to find. Thank you for making these videos available.
Thank you so much for these videos. I have her book called Helen Van Wyks Favorite Color Recipes. Oil Painting is my first love and her book was one of the first that I bought about 13 years ago. I learned so much from that book, and never did I think I would see her on RUclips. Even tho she is no longer with us, she is like Bob Ross, an artistic Icon that we love so. Thank you again.
I am so excited I found your channel thank you I started off using the Alexander and Ross technique but now I have moved to a bit more detailed I never tried a still life but now I will 🙏🏻😀👍
I agree fully about her talent. I like the video a lot. I am of the impression that about twenty years ago or so I saw a book by her about portraits in acrylic. Does she still use them or has a tutorial about the acrylics.
Helen how long have you been posting....you are fantastic. I love your confidence and teaching technique. Obvious you’ve been exposed to the best we’re did you learn. And by whom if you don’t mind me asking. Your fundamentals and demand for the artist to develop his own seeing and truth is refreshing and truthful....finally . Please continue. And would you consider a live teaching session.... You new student Randy
Vous êtes le bienvenu: d'autres seront ajoutés dans le futur. C: Thank you for the French subtitles, great video well explained for the colors, I finally understood for complementary ... thank you R: You welcome: More will be added in the future.
Take a photo of the objects that you are painting AS YOU SEE THEM from where you are standing at the easel. Insert the photo at bottom left so we can see what you are looking at and understand why you are doing what you are doing on the canvas ! SHOW us the copper pitcher as you are mixing the right color for it. SHOW us the onions AS you discuss how to mix the correct paint color!! What colors did you mix for the background color ? You say that the color is homogeneous...that it harmonizes with the other colors on the canvas, but you don't say what pigments were used to create that color. Please !
Oh Helen you were marvelous...like an old master.
So true. Keep watching and sharing, it's appreciated.
Very happy to be back with Helen. Blessings

Aww, she was amazing. I used to watch her on tv years ago. I love how she explained her choices.
Great video. Nice to watch an artist that explains and simplifies technical terms that can be a bit intimidating for a novice. Enjoyed the video !
WONDERFUL!!!

You new student Randy
Helen has been dead for many years, so private teaching lessons would be rather difficult...these are episodes from the show she had on television.

Take a photo of the objects that you are painting AS YOU SEE THEM from where you are standing at the easel.

SHOW us the copper pitcher as you are mixing the right color for it.
SHOW us the onions AS you discuss how to mix the correct paint color!!
What colors did you mix for the background color ?
You say that the color is homogeneous...that it harmonizes with the other colors on the canvas, but you don't say what pigments were used to create that color.
Please !
She can't do this for you because she is long gone and the show was from the 1990s
dude, this an old tv show and the lady is dead.
