Art books and art supplies

I am a big fan of your art, first of all. Furthermore the books you showed were very inspiring and interesting, thanks for showing them to me.

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Well that’s super lovely of you. Thank you so very much. Helen x

Thank you for introducing me to Sara Finellis work. I loved Van Goghs expressive mark making. It's a challenge to work loose and confidently. I was sad when this video finished. I listen and learn a lot from you. Much thanks again. Rachelle, Australia

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Wonderful! How kind of you. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@SimoneWhippArtist]

Lots of useful information and insights as usual Helen! I like your idea of making notes about what you like when looking at another persons book (work). I think I will have to make this part of my work practice as very often I forget all the things that have inspired me! Have a lovely week. x

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Oh that’s great! Thank you so much for all your encouragement xx

[@marie-claudegaudreau4576]

Your art is astonish and so fresh! I admire you. Continue to embellish my live!

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Thank you so much! That is lovely of you! Helen x

Oh my! Sara Fanelli is a name I’ve never heard of but her work reminded me of the art journaling of Teesha Moore. Her husband also does amazing art journaling but I can’t remember his first name…must be old age! Teesha does more collage than Sara but it rang a bell in me. Thank you again for your continual generosity. I’ve learned so much from you…and loooove your courses. We sure are lucky to have met you!

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Well Bonnie that is just so lovely. I don’t know that artist so I’m off to investigate! How wonderful of you. Love Helen x

If you ever have the chance to visit the Kroller Muller museum in Holland, please do go. It's unique for where it's situated in a National Park, and has a huge sculpure garden as well as an indoor museum. I've been a couple of times growing up and absolutely loved it.

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Oh it sounds fabulous. Thank you for sharing that x

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Oh thank you, I never thought of taking notes about other art, which is really odd because I am a chronic note taker!

[@HelenWellsArtist]

I find it super helpful, hope you do to… xx

[@pinkcookies2568]

Excellent as always

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Well you are very kind, thank you so much x

[@helennaylor.3550]

Brilliant. Are the pencils that you say are inky different from the watercolour coloured pencils ?

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Yes these are a specific brand of pencil called Inktense from Derwent when wet they are more similar to ink than watercolour…so give a very intense colour x

[@SN-sz7kw]

Thank you! 💗

[@HelenWellsArtist]

My pleasure thank you 🙏🏼

[@neidedegouvea]

Helen do you have a video about your book? I bought it but I am overseas and it will take a while until having it on my hands 😊.. It would be nice to have a glance ❤

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Yes I do! There’s one on my website helenwellsartist.com/book thank you so much for buying my book. I do hope you like it. Love Helen x

[@neidedegouvea]

@@HelenWellsArtistBeautiful book ❤️.. I am in love with your style as it has inspiring me so much to overcome the fear or putting something in a blanc page. Thank you Helen 🙏🏼

What brand of sketch book do you use, the pages look as if they are pretty thin, I was wondering how the work doesn’t go through to the back. Thanks for sharing appreciated.

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Yes in this sketchbook the paper is pretty thin, it's only 150gsm.. its a Daler Rowney A3 sketchbook,, I usually like thicker paper but bought this one for its big size., the materials i'm using don't bleed through...

[@a.w.j.pilgrim]

You would love my Amazon book, ‘The History of Art Materials’ by me A.W.J. Pilgrim.

[@HelenWellsArtist]

It does indeed sound fascinating…thank you x

[@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350]

Your art is definitely a lot nicer than Sara Finellis

[@HelenWellsArtist]

Oh I just love her work, and think it is brilliant, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder
