Ah..."the stage you're at in the painting is ....AWSOME!" You hit the nail on the head. All my painting life I've felt and said that (excitedly) to myself. Next morning is when you throw it away or try and fix it.

Now, I am hearing impaired, so need the cc on everything I watch. Limited to a few videos. But I still have a capacity to learn and share my own knowledge! God bless you folks for bringing Helen Van Wyk back to her loving audience! She fills our artistic gaps and warms our hearts!

I used to enjoy learning from this dear Pro many years ago, bought her cassetts of as many of her glorious painting lessons as I could! And I still have many of her awesome brushes in pretty good shape, (took really good care of them).

[@HelenVanWyk]

Nice to hear. There were at least two different sets: a yellow-handled (Finale) 5-brush set and a red-handled (Overture) 5-brush set. They are no longer available, so it's great to hear you've taken such good care of them over all this years.

Helen Van Wyk (1930-1994) was an American artist. She & her husband, cartoonist Herbert Rogoff (1927-2018), produced several books, and her PBS TV series "Welcome to My Studio". Unfortunately, the series is seldom seen, on TV, anymore. Helen passed away from cancer, in 1994.

What a shame this wonderful woman died so young at 64. Her videos are wonderful and I love her sense of humour.

LOVE your videos!!! I would love if they were longer and more comprehensive. I am learning so much from you. Thank you!

[@NettieKStudio]

Helen produced a few longer videos that might be available on a PBS online site. I have bought and worn out many of them! She died back in about 1996. I miss her terribly!

@@HelenVanWyk Thank you so much! Was it a favorite of Helen's or maybe Dvorak was one of her favorite composers?

God bless your soul, but I want to clear out some information; Maximilian Orel Roscoe was unknown in the Artist world, Rembrandt was Dutch, Beethoven was German. Again, you're a legend God bless your soul...
