She had a great quote that's stuck with me all these years. It was regarding portraits, which she defined as: "A picture where something's wrong with the mouth."

@TruthOrTrick
@TruthOrTrick 25 дней назад
@@ExtremeObservations I think its puzzling because you need to understand Helen's way of saying things. I think its actually a bit of an inside joke among Helen and her students. Painting mouths can be surprisingly tricky because they're so expressive and nuanced. It's kind of like trying to capture the essence of a person's personality in just a small area of the canvas. So when someone says "a picture where something's wrong with the mouth," they're poking fun at the challenge of getting it just right. Hope that clears it up a bit. Just one student's opinion. Yours may vary.

Back when I was working at an illustration house in Cleveland in the mid eighties, I would rush home after work to watch Helen to see what she was painting that day. I have such a soft spot in my heart for her. I learned more from watching her lessons ( I later bought all of her PBS episodes in VHS) than all of my university art professors or any workshop teachers put together. I'm so happy to see her here on YT, taking her place to teach a completely new batch of today's artists. Ms. VanWyk shows us how to paint... though sometimes she just might make soup!

Such a treat to watch this lady paint! I started reading her books some years ago, checked out from my local library. Her book about painting portraits was my favorite, so when my library lost that book, i took to Amazon and found a used copy that i paid 50 bucks for. Totally worth it. I love her style and the way she explains and simplifies the painting method.

@HelenVanWyk Месяц назад
I believe Helen used acrylic in her underpaintings, and I'm not sure about the medium (perhaps a water-based medium?). Hopefully, someone else can confirm. I'm sure she mentioned it during one of her lessons. She was an oil painter/teacher, so her primary medium was mostly a mixture of turpentine, dammar varnish, and linseed oil in equal parts, but she did use other mixes at times.

Sadly, Helen passed away in 1994 and cannot answer you directly. However, I believe one reason artists tilt their easel like that to prevent glare from the shiny, wet oil paint. Great question. Thanks. It would be great to hear from others as to why they tilt their easel.
