A Beautiful Week in Cornwall: 'Splodge & Scribble', Watercolour, Oil Pastel, Mixed Media Paintings

I was determined to make the most of the good weather in Cornwall last week, and visited some beautiful places, then painted a few of them.

The watercolor paint behind the oil pastel gave this painting a wonderfully soft background look. Your work is so inspiring and beautiful! Please keep sharing these trips with us! The water is inviting. How could anyone pass up a swim!

[@jacquiwilmot7802]

Fantastic painting Helen, thank you.

[@pastelsgirl]

Thank you, Helen, for another beautiful video. Your ease of sketching and painting are such an inspiration to me and your videos in the morning are making my endorphins flow! Thank you for providing me with such a wonderful start of the day. 😊❤

[@TheFeralGoatCreative]

All lovely. The last one was wow!

[@Samantha_tookey197]

Lovely video as always Helen. A sketchbook tour video would be lovely so we can see all your gorgeous paintings and drawings again ❤

[@somepinkflowers]

Love your Cornwall beaches 💕 & your paintings of them. 💕 You make me want to go back. ✈️🌎🌍

[@PaulaScardamalia]

I'm always impressed by how much layering you do. :)

[@lyndamorrill5687]

Enjoyed all the footage of your town and your sketches are great.

[@jessicastrideart]

Those scenes in Cornwall really are beautiful! I love your blue in the shadows, it works perfectly!😍x

[@loveandlife4222]

This is beautiful Helen! Thank you for sharing!

[@zenandink3531]

Love the blended look of the last one! It has a gouache feel 😊And- enjoy your swims!

[@iadenicole931]

I love your art. You should create a 'splurge and Scribble' course!

[@helencryer]

I'm very flattered thank you!! I wouldn't have a clue about how to go about doing a course though!

[@teekierudite5108]

Such beautiful weather, no wonder you had a great time outside. The paintings came out wonderful as well. Trisilic is beautiful, really love watching you paint. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@helencryer]

It really was a great week! I even went camping in my car! Thank you so much, as always!

[@valeriegehling4358]

Another gorgeous „sightseeing video“, & super sketch, & if that’s not enough I like the music too! Such lovely scenery, it’s like food for the hungry!! Thanks.

[@helencryer]

That's so nice, thank you!!

[@valeriegehling4358]

@@helencryer And, the sketches were good too.

[@KerryAA7130]

You need to get your work on canvas and sell some of them , your work as always is amazing Helen . You bring a story behind every piece to create which is also part of the art you create . Xx

[@helencryer]

Thanks ever so much! I do frame and sell some of the local scenes at a monthly craft market.

[@johnchadbon]

@@helencryer Where is that Helen, lovely work.

[@colourfab]

I love that combo of watercolour & oil pastel. Must try! That is an absolutely gorgeous painting. I love seeing you work on a larger scale. Are you thinking of going bigger, on sheets of paper rather than sketchbooks? 🤩

[@awatercolourist]

First!

[@helencryer]

I had a thought. If you stop being first for a period of time, should we start worrying? I mean should we be sending out search parties etc??

[@pastelsgirl]

@@helencryer😂😂

[@awatercolourist]

@@helencryer Nah, it either means I matured, which is highly unlikely at 40, or I’m just busy. Didn’t you ask me this question before?

[@awatercolourist]

@@pastelsgirl 😂😂 hi Pastel 👋

[@pastelsgirl]

@@awatercolourist hi, old friend! You always put a smile on my face 😊
