I bet she'd be thrilled to know she's still telling all her secrets from beyond the grave. These videos are pure gold

Helen was my first teacher. Just bought her books and I started. Now I enjoy her video.

It's nice that you have both Helen's books and video lessons to learn from. Combining the two is the ideal way to benefit from her teachings. Thanks for posting. It's appreciated.

Helen Van Wyk should have been a lot more famous the Bob Ross. She actually teaches you how to paint.

HelenVanWyk ah...finally someone released Helen's teachings...that's what she would have wanted. She loved painting and teaching...never leaving anything out. Her lessons are locked away with so much needed teaching for many. These KZfaq channels are sprouting daily with New wanna be artists who think they know what their doing...picking up a brush and oils with fancy supplies, teaching...I wonder do they realize, do they think their really good or know what their doing or is it all about making a buck...so many viewers who want to really LEARN to paint and have no idea...so they go out and buy ALOT of supplies, some buying..wanting the very same brush as the person giving the so called lessons...spending money...in hopes to learn...but the knowledge is not there. They come up with fancy names for their channel...and copy from one another...paint daily....weekly...posting a so called lesson for those who desperately fell into their shenanigans...no compositions...some don't even know color theory...nor focal points ...there's no creative flow within the so called lesson ...the painting...many teach themselves and practiced until they got someone's else's method down and never to pick up a book nor try to improve themselves. Yes...that's what's going on today...a painting craze and not many like Helen Van Wyk who knows...who really gives the true lessons..let her out...as she lived to paint and teach ..

She said in one of her books - Everyone can paint. I didn't believe her. But I took brush and paints/ her palet/ My walls are now full of my paintings. I look at them and can't believe they are mine.

I adore your videos. I learned so many aspects and you are that open minded. Thank you well. Tot ziens.

Miss Helen but i'm so happy they've decided to share her past videos. I will never forget going to her home and watching her painting. Happy that I purchased what she painted, neat also because I photographed every step of the painting. Helen was a lovely woman and absolutely knew everything about being an artist. I miss her, but I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to meet her. R.I.P. Helen. Thank you for being the best.

Lamentablemente, Helen murió en 1994, pero sus enseñanzas seguirán influyendo en los pintores durante muchos años. Gracias por visitarnos y disfrute de los videos recién publicados.

What kind of paint and medium did Helen use? I just love her. It shows how much she loves painting.

@HelenVanWyk 2 ай бұрын

I believe Helen mainly used Grumbacher Finest paints. She cleaned her brushes in turpentine but the painting medium was a mix of what I can't remember.

@HelenVanWyk 2 ай бұрын

In one of her lessons she mentioned the medium mix was turpentine, damar varnish and linseed oil. But I believe Helen used different mediums for different purposes.
