You have the happiest of holiday seasons Helen. I’m sure I speak for everyone in thanking you so much for your joyful enthusiasm over the year. You can have no idea of how uplifting your videos are. When I open an email from you I know my need for colour will be sated in abundance! I look forward to the future with much colour from you. Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx
Thanks Helen, I love watching our videos and I love your art. Thanks so much for sharing your process. Wishing you a happy holiday season and all the best in 2025 ❤
Beatrice Milhazes’ work is fantastic - and the book on her art will surely be a joy forever. Thanks for an end-of-the year colour injection into our lives with your lovely work - have a great break.
I have to say there is something that is so enlightening to me when you show your art journal and turn each page. The next page is better than the last. Your black ink drawings are my favorite and I have been practicing this technique. Thank you for ending my year with joy. I’m new too the art world for over a year now.
thank you so much for all that you share here -- your art, joy, and enthusiasm are always uplifting to me! i can see why Beatriz inspires you, as i can see the similar sensibility in your exuberant use of color and shapes!
Hi Helen, your wonderful videos make my day brighter and happier 😊 Thank you so much for all that you share and inspire 🙏🏻 I love watching you flip through your art journals. They are coffee table worthy as a piece of art on their own. 😍 I may have mentioned in a previous comment that I bought 2 of the DR A3 books. I still haven’t forgot past the first opening pages! Each time I watch your videos you remind me to let go and have fun, rather than trying to create a masterpiece from the get-go. Have a wonderful and magical festive break and look forward to seeing you back in 2025.✨🤗✨🧚🏼
I've not been here a while Helen so I need to catch up on all your recent posts! I am so excited to see you and your art again. Your HUGE sketchbook is full of joy! The new art book purchase looks so interesting and uplifting. I look forward to seeing you in 2025. Here's to a Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Year. X
As always you are a wealth of inspiration and to remind us that our sketchbooks are a spring board for more art to create on other surfaces and to develop these ideas into a series. Thank you for your consistency in creating meaningful content and to encourage us to follow our own instincts in our regular art practice. You also show us that we need to create a LOT of work to get to our true authentic voice. Have a peaceful , wonderful holiday Helen...see you next year !!
I could seriously wallpaper a room in my house with pages from your sketchbooks. They really are beautiful. I love your trees and your use of colour and shape and especially the circles. Just gorgeous. Don’t stop using colour. 😀Thanks for sharing.
Oh Helen, your use of color is so energizing and inspiring to me. I, too, feel our world has been a bit gray and needs this spark of color to remind us we are colorful human beings. Love your work immensely. Happy Holidays, see you next year!!
I love seeing your beautiful art in your sketchbooks - particularly your colourful work. 😍 I loved seeing Beatriz's exhibition at Tate St Ives earlier this year. Its glorious in its life size bigness.
Thank you for sharing your lovely new book with us all, I can totally understand why you feel drawn to her work, the book felt like a carnival of colours, not unlike many of your own pieces. A lovely way to start a cold and dreary morning here in the UK 👍🏼
Loving all your colourful creations a real antidote to the gloom outdoors. Thank you for all your inspirational videos. Wishing you a very happy Christmas and an amazing New Year Helen.
What a lovely, colorful video! Thank you for introducing me to Beatriz Milhazes... I went down a wonderful rabbit hole trying to learn more about her. Thank you for all of the beauty and inspiration you give to us all. May your New Year be filled with beautiful art and loads of color! Merry Christmas, Helen. 🎄🥳♥
Hi Helen! Your work is so bright, colorful, and beautiful! Love it! Thanks for sharing your work and your new Beatriz Miilhazes book. Merry Christmas! ❤❤❤
I love your new series of paintings, such vibrant colours. And the huge sketchbooks are amazing!! I always feel daunted by such big pages to fill but you’ve really gone for it. Hope you have a lovely festive period ✨✨🌟
Oh that’s so lovely of you, thank you Rose…I’ve definitely worked my way up to these large sketchbooks I started with tiny ones and have gradually got bigger and bigger. But I love a tiny sketchbook too…whatever size that you are going to use is always the best size to choose..x
Thanks for sharing, love the uplifting colours! I must say that I find your art pretty mesmerising too! You may be interested in looking at the work of Simona Vojteskova - her use of colour is also truly inspirational!
What a great video. Beautiful, beautiful works. You could go through each individual painting and talk about the colors and I would be rivited. Thank you!
It’s been very grey here too, your artwork and videos are like a breath of fresh air, thank you Helen for sharing, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and new year xx ❤❤❤
Oh Helen your sketchbooks are a visual feast 😍 I absolutely love your art! ❤ your enthusiasm is infectious and your love of colour also! Just beautiful! Question: do you gesso your covers before you paint one them? (I love Daler Rowney sketchbooks! They are excellent value and quality 😊 I love drawing big so they are a perfect size for that kind of freedom, especially when I need to express my emotions, deep and light 💜💛 been in a bit of a slump lately so your post arrived at the perfect time. P.S I need Beatrice's book lol 😄 a beautiful book! Love the Taschen series 👌
