Like many mentioned here I was always fascinated by Helen's brush strokes and how incredible she was creating each works and play with the lights.. I really appreciate your effort to teaching us these tips..

You can use personal gel for a medium. You don't need much

She once did a painting in reverse. Started with a completed stilllife and “unpainted” every step in exact reverse order back to plain toned canvas. Was quite interesting

Why wouldn't Helen like the water mixable oils? Grumbacher says to use water only for cleaning with their line. I bet I could put out several brands of traditional oil paint with a water mixable included and you wouldn't be able to find it from just painting.

Now that we can look under Vermeer's paint we see that he was always 'correction' his paintings. Especially if we remember Vermeer had to grind his own pigments and wait, wait, wait for the paints to dry, no wonder he only did two or three paintings a year (not to mention all those children!) Helen always said, "Make it, break it, make it again!"

I am sad to say that I have only just discovered this mistress of painting, Helen. What a fantastic tutor and character. I am very proud that I share the same birth date with her but alas am not so adept. She is sadly missed.

I watched Helen paint on her T V show, purchased most of her books, and learned so many great ways of how she painted. I was fortunate to visit her amazing room above a gallery in Rockport, Maine. A very nice lady took me upstairs to see many of Helen’s paintings that I had watched her paint on TV, and many still life objects she used in her paintings. This was after Helen passed. I also saw where she lived in Rockport. All a highlight of my planned visit to Rockport to find anything about Helen and to see an original painting!!!

Oh no I just found her on utube and to think she passed so long ago. Im so upset she passed so young I just hope the painting chemicals did not affect her She was so bold and confident which came from experience and knowledge I thought she was fantastic and so many have learned from her.

Many thanks Barbara. Re the oil 'medium' Helen Van Wyk used with her paints, seem to think it a combination of turps, linseed oil and poss Dammar varnish, but can't recall the proportions. Would you happen to know?
