HELEN VAN WYK - OIL PAINTING APPLICATIONS - DVD

50 mins


You draw a drawing and paint a painting," Helen Van Wyk told her students. By using the proper brushstrokes and adhering to the three properties of drawing - proportion, perspective and structure - Helen shows you how to use your brush to draw the components that make up every painting, even one whose subject is some-thing from memory. In the first segment, Helen demonstrates how to use the principles of painting to create a picture without the benefit of subject matter. Then, she paints a porcelain bowl and lemons, drawing with brush and paint instead of a pencil or charcoal. This is a unique lesson that will guide you through every painting you create. Only a painter of Helen's caliber would attempt such a pro-found approach to teaching the craft!
