Fantastic, Helen. You and your work inspire me. The finished painting looks so efforless and "meant to be," that it is a very important reminder how much thought, planning, work, skill, and love create that final beauty. Anne Shams

I absolutely love your videos as they are relaxing and such a joy to watch your life and your art process. The music you choose is just right to complement the video. Your completed work of art is gorgeous. It would be an honor to own one of your works.

This was fascinating! I loved your approach, the thoughtfulness, the references (I also love using short video snippets for reference!) and - of course - the drawing and painting process itself. I learned a lot, and the portrait turned out incredibly beautiful.

Thank you so much!

[@ClaversOdhiambo]

Well done :) I'm curious as to why you prefer the birch panel to a stretched canvas; the process of creating it yourself seemed quite laborious.

[@atelierbouchard]

Thank you for your question, I will answer it in my next video 🙂

Madam I like the painting, spicily those red flowers add a beautiful pop of the colour. Please upload videos more frequently. ❤❤🔥🔥❤❤

Thank you, I will try my best!

[@martyparty3000]

Another great video! I'm looking to get a similar light setup. Are you happy with it and what color temperature did you go for?

[@atelierbouchard]

@@martyparty3000 Thank you, I am happy with it! I went with a cool white: 4000k. It is cool white but leans towards neutral which I prefer. Here is the one I bought: www.amazon.com/SHOP-4X2-840-V1-Backplate/dp/B07CX3XSRX/ref=sr_1_2?crid=17XFYKZU26ENN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mIrnMwjxoQ0X0NyXkD6vzapBq6EBcVq2rW_3a6xAHqMXWdjv5hS9vmpY4CpwvVHlIBPPfMlnbhrpcWRaMSDGgWedoBTXpuiXsH_qCUNtQ9lVQjGyGtOdiTr5IZ7PI9d0FXPRqiJgYrzIi4gVQNVC-QWu5eJsYblHlOVODclgRhWqzb0n18GaCGQVAtdR4bpT1rszlzE-YVwETHX0pxjEn_0Iec-gGoJ7nl7ZxbCR5YB8p_vAFimbNTX0_foCocJ_3OAaf15-l5q4kdpQtpbdY4puiGP65U3peNOM9IH4bJU.SxWu1Iws34xI-vGYl4AXhZSGG3skWH5W2qQgN6Mp0wQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=feit+electric+LED+utility+light+45w&qid=1726367794&sprefix=feit+electric+led+utility+light+45w+%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-2
