Discovered you recently and really enjoy your energy, ideas and style.

Brilliant! Love this thank you for sharing!

What a lovely video. I always bring art supplies when traveling and then rarely actually use them. You created wonderful art.

I really like your art and how inspiring you are to others. Your positivity is contagious. And your art sketchbooks are so beautiful, messy but neat and the line work is full of energy. Contrasts can make an artwork deeper and more 2d instead of flat. Negative spaces might be a new place to go. Jo 😊New Zealand.

Really lovely! Thanks so much for sharing ❤

Hi 2 yrs later I see but just HAD to share that they are lotus leaves! I'm in Thailand now and I am obsessed with them!!! So happy when I saw this video! Thank you

Brilliant!

I'm in love with your floral compositions, they are amazing, so expressive!!😍

Your art is so healing and joyful

This is about the most different art I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing. You really set my creativity on a new course!

Thank you for telling about your work and sketchbooks. I love to go back through my older art journals, not only are they inspiring, but they tell the story of my creative journey.

Going to try this exercise right now! I'm really forward to making my first shapes grid!

Helen, glad you are feeling better. Loved this video for many reasons but here are two. Firstly, I love how the happiness that art brings you just shines through you. It is contagious. Also, I loved seeing another view of your studio as you worked at your desk! I live for your vlogs.❤❤❤

Your sketchbooks are a dream! I'm drooling. I loved this video, and I am not even a visual artist, just an art lover (and a poet!) and I loved everything you talk about --and show-- here. My takeaway, which applies to any creative endeavor, is that you said while doing your art, you are not thinking about the end result. You do it for the "joy, the discovery and the delight." Just fantastic and beautiful!

Love this video. Thanks for talking about your process and for showing us some footage of you drawing in your sketchbook. It's good to know that you never start with the finished product in mind. It's a lot of pressure to start with the end in mind. You remind us to just have fun!

Thank you so much for this video … what a lovely way to show shape❤

It is so lovely to know that you are feeling well again - and to have you back sharing your gorgeous drawings and paintings and your enthusiasm. You are a joy and a great source of inspiration 🥰

Your paintings are fabulous … thank you Helen for sharing and for being a great inspiration ❤

I have pages in my sketchbook that resemble a dog’s breakfast … I’ve seen some sketchbooks that I would classify as masterpieces ❤ glad they are not mine … way too much pressure 😁

Your sketchbooks look amazing! 😍💓🫶🏻💜🩵🧡🩷

Wonderful to see you back Helen and glad you are feeling better. Fighting this cold too so your post has brightened my day 🙏🏻. Always a treat and inspiration. Love watching your art journal flip throughs, think I may have mentioned before that they are worthy of being published as art in a book 😍. Look forward to your next project and posts. Have a wonderful week 🙏🏻😊🙏🏻😘

So pleased to see you Helen! I think we always seem to get ill when we have some 'down time'. I got back to my sketch book yesterday after soooo long! I love taking a peek inside your sketch books. 😍

WOW would I like to spend a weekend in your head. Looking at your work fills me with joy. Admiration for the seemly endless "taking forward" that you do. Thank you for sharing and making my world brighter. ❤

So glad you are feeling better Helen! You are a joy and your videos are a sumptuous gift. How kind you are to inspire us all with your wonderfulness and special artist magic. Part of my survival plan for the next four years is to watch you often (and fill many sketchbooks of course :) ).xxx

You're simply amazing, Helen! Your sketches are so joyous! Glad you're feeling better & back in your studio! :)

Glad to see you back Helen, I’ve missed your happy colourful videos, glad you are feeling better xx ❤

Your art is beautiful ❤

Hello again from Down Under where summer is still playing hide and seek with us! But what a ray of sunshine your videos always bring. Thank goodness you are feeling well again…long may it last. That quote is fantastic. We have learned this in a hard way with bad health for two family members and now make sure we do things while we can. Rumi is/was so right!

What scanner do you use?

I felt so inspired by this. Thank you so much for sharing your joy it nourishes my spirit. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

💖

👍👍👍👍👍

Very excited to see a video from you. At the end of the video you show two loose pieces of paper with paintings on them. They are simply gorgeous! (As are your sketchbooks) thanks for sharing the beauty of what you love with us.

That was fascinating Helen. What type scanner do you use and at what dpi?

Such beautiful art, Helen! It's so inspiring!

Wonderful to see all your creations!

Beautiful as usual 😍😍😍 What will be the subject of your next lesson please ?

I find my sketchbooks are full of surprises, especially when I haven't looked at them in a while. Thank you for sharing yours and the helpful videos you create. You are so inspiring, Helen!

Great to see you back Helen 👏 And always love looking through your past colourful creations too 🌈

Welcome Back! You are not alone in getting back into the flow, looking forward to seeing you create & inspire ❤

Good to see you back :)

Loving your tutorial videos. I love your style & techniques. Very inspirational!!! Thank you Helen😊

Such an inspiring video. Thank you Helen.

What a privilege it is to hear your story - thank you so much for being so transparent and sharing your journey to full time artist. This video, and really, your whole channel, is delightfully inspiring. I too was super arty as a kid, but when I started getting into my head as a teen, I was convinced I had 'technical' art skills, but that I just was not creative. I'm lucky in that I've been able to support myself with a 20+ yr career in STEM, but the past couple of years, I've decided to challenge my own story of not being creative by picking up my art supplies again, being vulnerable & reflective along the way. You were one of my inspirations for setting up my own YT channel, to document my journey back to a creatively fulfilling life. Step by step, I'll figure out how to support myself financially with this too, so I can spend more time doing the things I love. Thank you Helen x

Very inspiring!

Have you ever been to Thailand Helen? You would LOVE the plants and strange and wonderful fruit and veg and colour clashing flowers! Im staying there for a bit now and being inspired by it all. Thanks for these great tips!

None of that is ugly to me! Just love the colours and courage and intentions Helen. Thank you!

Fab as always … where are those scissors? ❤

Thank you for this video, Helen. So inspiring. You're one of my favorite art channels here on KZbin.💖💖

You're inspiring me so much Helen! I love your stuff. Keep on smiling. You brighten our world!
