Oil Painting: Highlights, Shine & Transparency with Helen Van Wyk

[@silvahovhannesian4762]

Great art teacher! The way everything explained in details while painting, it’s very helpful. Thank you!

[@HelenVanWyk]

You're right. Helen's commentary while she paints is definitely a key factor in her popularity. Her "Fly on Your Own" concept, where she equips viewers with the skills to become self-sufficient, resonates with many artists. It's a refreshing approach that empowers students and fosters a sense of creative independence.

I'm thrilled to find Helen Van Wyk here on KZbin! I only have a few memories of her programs from when I was a child, because my local PBS affiliate didn't show her all the time. Now (and especially as someone who now paints), I can really appreciate her approach. Thank you!

As important to me as her skii and techniquel are her words, her philosophy of painting, I've always enjoyed hearing her thoughts. What a creative, beautiful mind

[@HelenVanWyk]

Absolutely! Helen's artistic skill and technique are matched by the depth of her philosophical insights and commentary about painting. Her creative mind is inspiring, and her thoughts on art are enlightening and thought-provoking. Thanks for the comment and for supporting the channel. It's appreciated.

Thanks, Another lesson full of information... paint delicates last...backgrounds dictate...body color from center to edge... balance meaning...5 tones... placement...accept unfinished look...i also get the feeling from watching her videos she had a crush on Rembrandt! Listen at 13:00 when she says Rembrandt "was kinda cute".

[@HelenVanWyk]

Yes, that's true. It seems from watching her talk about him in several lessons that there was some professional admiration. A crush? Maybe. Thanks for the comment and your support of the channel.
