I know what you mean. Bob Ross's videos gave me the courage to try oil painting but it was Helen Van Wyk that caused me to fall in love with it. I studied her, read her books & eventually learned enough to start teaching oil painting. I only gave it up due to health problems. Other than my family, it was the most enjoyable thing I was ever a part of.
Like a magnet, Helen captured the painting hearts of many back in the day, and I’m sure, like you, she inspired them to keep painting. Thanks for posting and supporting the channel. It's appreciated.
Between Helen Van Wyck & Dianne Mize I have learned more than from a lot of my art professors in college. They both are natural teachers and their talents are immense.
If you have a connctuon with a public library or university with interlibrary loan capabilities, they could secure her videos for you on DVD. I watched many hours of her tutorials this way.
I just think she is fantastic and van gogh would have seen her talent. They were both dutch and died too young. Heaven needed them. I bet they are up there directing art still
Very nice painting. I still always follow you channel. I want to be ask One questions can i use colour yellow orche . Ultramarine blue .burnt umber and white in painting landscapes
Thanks for posting. Helen Van Wyk, whose techniques you're watching, passed away in 1994, so a direct answer from her is not possible. However, her timeless lessons continue to inspire and teach artists everywhere. This lesson you just watched is a demonstration by Helen where she is showing the power of the three primary colors but at 01:45 she says she doesn't recommend limiting yourself to just three.
May I suggest another amazing painting teacher here, her name is Dianne Mize. Please check out her amazing teachings of not only painting but so much more about art. She has mentioned Helen before in her teachings. She’s a fountain of knowledge just like Helen.
Bonjour, quel talent, une très belle toile que j’aime beaucoup. Juste 2 réflexions, vous n’avez pas observé la règle des tiers et posez du foncé sur du clair. J’aime aussi transgresser les règles. Merci pour vos vidéos et votre générosité.

Sadly, Helen passed away in 1994 so she can't answer you directly. Helen used those foils to highlight this lesson's use of just 3 colors ( plus black and white ). The foils, when all applied, filter all color and as each is removed additional colors are exposed until all are removed to reveal full color. Hopefully someone knowledgeable concerning color proofs can give a detailed explanation.
I wonder if someone behind the scenes took her big beautiful palette? She was a feminist and the men were mean to her back then. Anyway, I still love watching Helen paint. 🥰
During one of her videos she showed several of those palettes hanging like art. Each one looked as if she was about to start a painting. The paint colors were laid out in the order she always used but the paint was already dried. I suppose it was just another form of art. I know I'd love to have one of her pallets.😊
You can see the palette briefly on the counter behind her lying flat at the very beginning. I'm very curious about what you said as I had never heard that she experienced that before! How sad! Where did you hear that?
I know, it sounds a bit drastic, but who knows? Helen's story could have been true. On the other hand, what about the soup? Thanks for posting, it's appreciated.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, sadly, you are correct. Helen passed away in 1994. We all miss her deeply, as she was extremely talented as both an artist and a teacher. These remastered video lessons are meant to allow her work to continue teaching students and experts alike. By sharing her work, we aim to keep her legacy alive. Thanks for supporting the channel.
@@HelenVanWykThank you for posting. These videos are a discovery, and I have purchased some of Helen’s out of print art books as a result-very helpful. ❤
Everyone knows Helen! Thankfully they’re sharing her teachings- Helen would want her teaching of painting to continue- I have all of her books- each one is packed with info- as a land/seascape painter- learned a lot about color- composition- brushstrokes- overall process- from her books- Helen was masterful with brush in hand- like no other- her brushstrokes and ability to mix colors- is what her message to beginners is- A painters signature brushstrokes and ability to see and mix colors is what makes their works stand out- Beginners should have a mindset- as one practices- your signature brushstrokes will come out- that’s an “ah ha “ moment!!! Experiment with what brushes can do- and how you can maneuver the brush in hand to create shapes- form- Also- Helen’s small book - on reference- again this one is great- like a Cliff Notes on everything regarding painting- Have fun- and thank you for posting Helen’s lessons/ Helen’s passion- words of wisdom- knowledge- great lectures - there’s generations that can learn from Helen-

She got me into painting
I still watch all the videos often

Thank you for posting this. She is one of the best instructors of all time.
I thought I had seen all of her tutorials but I had not seen this one before now.
Thank you for sharing it.😊
Thanks for watching!
She painted in the loose way that I enjoy. Thank you for years of really nice lessons.
I still love watching her paint, watched her way back in late 80-90s. ❤
Between Helen Van Wyck & Dianne Mize I have learned more than from a lot of my art professors in college.
They both are natural teachers and their talents are immense.
Wonderful to see Helen again.
I adore this woman 😘 I learned so much watching her back in the day! Wish I could buy her dvds if any are available?
If you have a connctuon with a public library or university with interlibrary loan capabilities, they could secure her videos for you on DVD. I watched many hours of her tutorials this way.
Surely, they meant painting instruction DVD's?
They are, but they're really expensive. You can get them from pbs or her website
Actually, our website helenvanwyk.com, has been out of her books and DVDs for many many years.
I got mine on eBay.
She is was the best brilliant teacher …. Please more and more of her 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏
She was wonderful artist and teacher. Very grateful for the opportunity of wachting her now!
Glad to hear you're enjoying Helen's video lessons. Thanks for watching.
Большое спасибо. Светлая память Хелен. Талантливый художник и учитель
What a wonderful teacher only just found her now inspired me to get back painting Aileen from Ireland
Helen's lessons are timeless and inspiring. It’s great to hear that you’re getting back into painting. Here's wishing you many creative moments ahead.
She's such a delight. So knowledgeable and so personable.
Thanks for the comment and support, it is appreciated.
I am so glad to see more videos!!! She is a great artist and teacher!!! Thank you!
Thank you for posting her wonderful work!
Thank you! I wish I could have watched her back in the day
She had about 12 or 13 seasons of maybe 10 - 12 videos per season. They're probably still available somewhere. They used to be aired on PBS.
Thanks for putting these on line.
Helen you are a wonder and you are missed. 💜💜

I remember watching her back in the day. I was amazed.❤

Hallo, Helen Van Wyk, please, say me, what is it for a foil in the beginning?
Sadly, Helen passed away in 1994 so she can't answer you directly. Helen used those foils to highlight this lesson's use of just 3 colors ( plus black and white ). The foils, when all applied, filter all color and as each is removed additional colors are exposed until all are removed to reveal full color. Hopefully someone knowledgeable concerning color proofs can give a detailed explanation.
Thank you!
😂😂😂 I was waiting for Stewart to pop out at any second😂
I wonder if someone behind the scenes took her big beautiful palette? She was a feminist and the men were mean to her back then. Anyway, I still love watching Helen paint. 🥰
During one of her videos she showed several of those palettes hanging like art. Each one looked as if she was about to start a painting.

This says it was posted 8 hrs ago (suggesting that it's a recently made video). Helen VanWyk has been dead for years.

You don’t say…😲
Everyone knows Helen! Thankfully they’re sharing her teachings- Helen would want her teaching of painting to continue-
I have all of her books- each one is packed with info- as a land/seascape painter- learned a lot about color- composition- brushstrokes- overall process- from her books-
Helen was masterful with brush in hand- like no other- her brushstrokes and ability to mix colors- is what her message to beginners is-
A painters signature brushstrokes and ability to see and mix colors is what makes their works stand out-
Beginners should have a mindset- as one practices- your signature brushstrokes will come out- that’s an “ah ha “ moment!!!
Experiment with what brushes can do- and how you can maneuver the brush in hand to create shapes- form-
Also- Helen’s small book - on reference- again this one is great- like a Cliff Notes on everything regarding painting-
Have fun- and thank you for posting Helen’s lessons/
Helen’s passion- words of wisdom- knowledge- great lectures - there’s generations that can learn from Helen-
@Milania717 Thanks for this detailed post. Very nice. Thanks.
Bravooo !
Helen you are a wonder and you are missed. 💜💜
