Oil Painting: Rolling vs. Hard Edges with Helen Van Wyk

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2024
  • With the advent of the 17th century, the art of painting underwent a remarkable transformation. Previously confined to flat, two-dimensional representations, paintings began to exhibit a newfound depth and realism. Figures seemed to leap off the canvas, creating the illusion of space beyond the frame. This revolutionary change was attributed to the discovery of the "lost line" by 17th-century painters. By skillfully blending sharp, defined edges with soft, blurred ones, these artists achieved a harmonious balance that added significant dimension to their works. This technique not only enhanced the vividness of the scenes but also made them more lifelike and dynamic.
    Helen cleverly uses the term "Founder" as a play on the word "found." Although the words have distinct meanings, in this context, "founder" aptly describes the 17th-century painters as both the discoverers and creators of the lost line technique. This innovative approach marked a pivotal moment in the history of art, forever changing how scenes were depicted and perceived.

    Despite I come a generation after, I really appreciate Helen's approach. It's the perfect balance between the figurative and a subtle abstract. Even classical painters as Wermeer did it if you look at the details. Her show is full of good lessons.

    Thank you for making me feel happy every time I see a video of Helen. I am 87 and started learning to paint 6 years ago. I am originally from Russia, so I never saw Helen teaching before. I love her way. Blessings.

    I really miss Helen. I watched her programs when I was younger and I always *learned* something! Loved her personality and vibrance. She was one of a kind.

    Thank you for posting these videos. I was never able to see her shows due to my location but I have bought all her books and videos that are available to me. I did some research and was blown away by just how many programmes that were recorded. I wish they could be made available, like Bob Ross, for everybody to enjoy for many years to come. This beautiful and talented person should never be forgotten.

    Back in the early 90's I became a fan of Helen VanWyk, and watched her show all the time! She was an incredible Artist and Teacher! I think I've got a number of her shows on video, only they're on a Beta format! I think I could watch Helen paint those wonderful strokes of her brush all day and still learn something. It's sad she's not around anymore, a nice person who was doubly talented as an inspirational Artist and Teacher.

      It's called a mahl stick, also known as a
      mahlstick. Helen uses it to steady her brush hand while painting finer details. Here is a short video about it: th-cam.com/video/L8xitFMBC0g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DKhfs2_g2bIueV_e

    • @HelenVanWyk
      @HelenVanWyk  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Great question. Helen used dark color thinned with turpentine to do the initial placements. This mix is very fast drying. Those crazy looking placement lines are nearly dry by the time she starts in with the oils. Give it a try. Thanks for your support, it is appreciated.
