    Magical!
    The way the way the pen molds the splodges into a lovely memory.
    The way the modern family molds antiquities into the modern life.
    The way an accordion warms the hearts of viewers around the globe.
    All of it. Magical!
    Thank you!

    Now there’s a phrase I never expected to hear….. “my dad playing his accordion in the bread oven”. Of course it makes perfect sense in your video, but out of context that would sound hilarious

      Thanks ever so much! If you can not be scared of just getting paint down in paper, it's a great thing - so many of us put it off because we're worried about a poor outcome, and I just find this method takes some of the stress away!

    What an absolute treasure to enjoy such a historic and beautiful place that has your dads touch all over it! He is extremely talented…we need to repoint some areas on our fence and it’s hard to get it to look original…Hats off to him and his friend!!
    As always it’s so enlightening to watch you create also. The “scribble” pulls it all together.
    Enjoy your time in France and all the memories you are making with your family. Now, imo, that’s the true treasure…

      Hi Nancy, thank you!
      They painstakingly raked out all the old pointing, and my Dad made a big piping bag out of old plastic sacks, and piped the new pointing in, then shaped it. They did this over the whole inside and outside of the building (and the bread oven) - took forever!

    It's sort of magical watching the splodge layers of watercolor turn into a picture when the ink is added in. I guess it's adding defined shape to the color, it just looks so beautiful. Thank you for your art Helen!

    Love the tour, what a lovely spot to spend the summer!! Love seeing your dad and his accordion too 😊.
    I love this type of watercolour approach. When I first started, I tried too hard to make everything look real/perfect/accurate, but I’ve grown to love loose style paintings because they’re so much more relaxing to do and you can do something in a session. I also really love the look of a loose painting.

    • @helencryer
      @helencryer  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! It's definitely helping me progress in the direction I'd like, but I'm still not producing the kind of painting I have in mind yet! At least now, like you say, you can produce something in one go, and feel a bit of fulfillment.

    Three or four layer process. It rises from the ashes so to speak! The beginning tour is great, dad’s work, dad and the accordion, gives the French flavor to the whole thing. How fortunate you are to have such a place!

      We are incredibly lucky, yes! 20 years of hard work paying off!
      I'm still quite new to trying to loosen up with paitingy, and am quite enjoying this way of doing things at the moment. It doesn't turn out how I'd like most the time, but at least I'm getting paint on paper more often now!

    Helen, your process is brilliant! It might be just the approach I’m looking for. I have little confidence in my drawing skill - so the “sketch first” technique has always been a serious roadblock for me - however I DO see colors and variation in hue. Your “color first” technique seems like the answer to my dilemma. Thank you very much! Lovely painting too.😊

    No wonder this is your home of homes! It's gorgeous😍😍😍 But it also takes a lot of work to maintain it now. I'd say this is earthly version of heaven.🥰
    Speaking of heaven ... I was watching your video from cca. 3 months ago, in which you asked us regarding cotton watercolor paper. I highly recomend you trying Aquarelle Cold Pressed by HahneMuhle (it's a German brand). I feel that you will love it. It's not smooth, but it also isn't rough ... I'd say "very gently rough".😁 I thought that since you're now in France it might be easy ro find an art store where they keep this brand (when/if you decide go to a bigger town or city), so that you can see it first by yourself. When I discovered it a year ago and started to paint on it I was feeling as if I almost came to ... yes, watercolourist's heaven.😊
    And of course, your painting is wonderful! Enjoy with your family in this beautiful part of France! Sending you much love from Slovenia ❤🌻💞😢

      It's definitely a very peaceful place to be, but a lot of work has been done over the years!
      Thanks so much for the recommendation - I will definitely look out for it! Someone told me today of a big art shop, so I can try there.
      Thank you ❤️

      @@helencryer Yes, I know that a lot of work has already been done, of course.

    I’d be making bread! I’m good at bread. So beautiful. A stone house ☺️ you are so fortunate. Horses come by. Have you painted them yet. I just found you channel. I’m subscribed! Oh my, I’d be painting the house.

      My Dad's been making bread here today! Smells soooo good! Sounds like you'd be busy here too! I have never painted a horse, no. I probably need to try and get a good picture of one.

    Thank you. Nice to see someone not using Chinese or Russian paints. I recently discovered Rósa Gallery watercolours from Ukraine and Roman Szmal. Love both paints. Great pigments and super avoidable.

      I had been using White Nights paints, from St. Petersburg, which I liked. Certainly the manufacturer has nothing to do with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but I just couldn't bear the thought of buying anything from Russia after that. I was able to create a very similar palette from Roman Szmal, which uses honey, like White Nights. I donated my White Nights paints to a local junior college water color class.

    • @helencryer
      @helencryer  ปีที่แล้ว

      They are both gorgeous paints, and such reasonable prices. To be honest when I started buying paints, I didn't think too much about origins, so it's more luck than judgement!

      Thanks ever so much! I'm just on a journey to try and get braver at doing art, and not avoid it because of perfectionist worries. It doesn't always go very well, but it's fun!

    This was a great video and really enjoyed watching the process. What a beautiful restoration of the property by your father and his friend. You are fortunate to be able to enjoy it. I was about to ask what blue you used for the sky as it was such a perfect color. Thank you for sharing the paints info used in this piece. I do love Holbein's Verditer blue. Enjoy your stay in France.

    • @helencryer
      @helencryer  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you!! Yes they've done an absolutely incredible job over the years, including carefully re-pointing round every stone inside and out, building ceilings and staircases, wiring, plumbing and laying septic tanks!!
      I like the Holbein, but I think my favourite is Daniel Smith's Verditer, but I ran out of that!

      I really think it's a useful way to loosen up! I don't always like the outcomes, but overall it makes me less scared to start something, which is one of my goals this year.
