What a beautiful day! How wonderful you are so close to the beach. I’m so glad you made this little video of your Plein Air experience. Your painting turned out beautifully! Thank you so much for sharing this.
The more I see your giant tins of pans, the more genius I think it is Helen. I prefer the paint pans and palettes from ArtToolKit so I’d need an empty palette to pop them in when I make up a palette but like you, I have a lot of watercolours I don’t use as regularly as I’d like to. Empty palette shopping I go!
It's funny you mention it because I spent a chunk of today rearranging my large palettes so that they include all my whole pans as well! I now have literally every watercolour in one place! I realised I love quite a few Rosa Gallery and Roman Szmal paints which I just wasn't using much. I'm just making new giant charts! Enjoy sorting yours out too!
What a beautiful painting it shows how regular painting plein air can really help improve your painting if you look back at some of your first paintings hope that you don't mind me saying
I love your painting; that you included people helps with scale. Love the colors of the sea, rock and beach. The minty green seems more like a yellow green.
Beautiful detail Helen and the colours you chose are just right , love the little details of the people and dog 🐕 as well . Such a perfect sunny day to do watercolour painting… all days should be like that xx
Every now and again you get a day when all the circumstances combine well! (Though I'm struggling with a lot of hip pain at the moment, so that was a less fun part!)
I loved 🥰 your filmmaking at the beach. Very gorgeous views of the walk to the beach & the countryside. The painting was amazing. Also that’s a great novel from our local author John Grisham!! Enjoy your weekend Helen!
Ooh what a lovely day , ☀️, thanks for taking us to the beach 😎. I’m practicing rocks/cliffs , beaches and sea at the moment (I have a thing for rocks at the moment ! 😂,so this is great. Am finding the sea quite difficult to get the movement of the water tho,practice,practice,practice needed! 😊
Hello Helen, you are such an inspiration and a great art teacher. Love to see all of your videos and get my daily art infusion. The Cornwall beach sketching sessions are such a joy to watch. Thank you so much! Best wishes from an absolute beginner ❤
Lovely painting and a fantastic gift from your children! Gorgeous walk to the beach, so lucky to live so close to the water (I grew up by the ocean and miss it).
What a lovely, lovely painting! Wow, an absolutely fabulous job on the cliffs and rocks. What a pleasant way to spend an afternoon! And you have very thoughtful children also 😊.
Thank you! It really was a lovely day - some friends turned up at the beach later and I spent the rest of the day with them! (The joys of having adult children now - and yes, they were very thoughtful!)
@@helencryer Glad you enjoyed it! And actually your lunch didn’t look yucky in the video. It looked like chicken strips in some kind of curry. I was rather surprised when you said it was chickpeas.
lovely painting! do you have a rec for the chair you had? I looked at the listed materials but it wasn't there, great idea to have one that folds down to a backpack!
Such a lovely piece. And your outdoor workspace looks so comfy and relaxing! I would absolutely love to join you there. The concept of your rucksack chair sounds interesting. Perhaps you'd like to share a close up of it one day.
Thanks! It is this one (just with different fabric). It's a bit bulky to carry, but is very comfortable to sit/lie in, and practical with the big pockets! amzn.to/4ak1jB3
Beautiful painting. I feel like I'm at the beach and can smell the salt air. Thank you and God bless you!
Thanks! I'm so lucky to have this nearby!
I love channels that actually paint instead of just encourage people to buy like 200 products lol
Oh, I'm afraid I probably do that too 😬

Yes! I absolutely adore where I live!
Thanks ever so much - I'm sorry for the ropey video skills though!!
Wow Helen...that is incredible....Love to hear your rock technique...they look amazing. Thanks for sharing your lovely day with us.
Thank you!
This is one of your best I think the colours are just right and the detail is fabulous!! Lovely piece of work. 👏
Thanks so much!
Wonderful painting! Thanks for taking us along to such a beautiful beach!
Thanks!
Thank you for the tour of your beautiful surroundings! Your painting is lovely😊

Thanks ever so much!
Wow, you've really captured the day. So well observed and you get better and better👍👍👍
That's really kind, thank you!

No - thanks ever so much! I did my very first Plein Air painting just over a year ago!
This is so wonderful, such a gorgeous palette ☺☺
That's so nice, thanks!
it's wonderful ❤
Love that you used pencils for details and that you kept the White space on the left side❤
Thank you!!
Wow Helen this looks amazing I love the details ❤
Thanks so much!
That lunch looked delicious! 😊
It was!!
Love this one Helen - especially the colours in the rocks. You make it look so easy! 🐨👍
Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, I just started the book at the beach and got a good chunk through it - he's always a nice engaging read!

I definitely know what you mean about doing the sea - it's my least favourite bit to do, and I'm never particularly happy with them!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
The painting is lovely!!
Cheers! (Or will I get in trouble for saying that, too?!)
@@helencryer 🤣🤣🤣. That actually suits you 😄.
Fascinated with the cliffs they look so real! And, the sea so straight, delightful! So calming.Thanks
Thank you very much!
@@helencryer Thank you for the art!
Lovely painting and a fantastic gift from your children! Gorgeous walk to the beach, so lucky to live so close to the water (I grew up by the ocean and miss it).
Thanks! Yes - they've turned devious now that they've got their own separate WhatsApp group without Mum and Dad in it!!
What a lovely, lovely painting! Wow, an absolutely fabulous job on the cliffs and rocks. What a pleasant way to spend an afternoon! And you have very thoughtful children also 😊.
Thank you! It really was a lovely day - some friends turned up at the beach later and I spent the rest of the day with them! (The joys of having adult children now - and yes, they were very thoughtful!)
Luuuuunch 🤤
Coronation Chick Peas, Mango Chutney and flatbread to be precise!
@@helencryer Coronation chickpeas?? I wonder what people would have thought of it back in the 50s 😂?
They were missing out - it's soooooooo good! (Though it looks a bit yuck!)
@@helencryer Glad you enjoyed it! And actually your lunch didn’t look yucky in the video. It looked like chicken strips in some kind of curry. I was rather surprised when you said it was chickpeas.
I'm a big chick pea fan!
I always like your paintings. I absolutely love this one though. ❤
Thanks ever so much! I'm actually quite fond of this one too!
Lovely painting, Helen. And what an inspiring view! Your beach set up looks so comfy. I love chickpeas too! Glad you had a nice day.
Thank you! So funny - just reading your comment as I'm eating more chick peas! (Chicken, chorizo, tomato and chickpea bake, this time!)
3:35 Your kids are sweet 😊.
Very!! They had done detective work and everything!
@@helencryer 😄
lovely painting! do you have a rec for the chair you had? I looked at the listed materials but it wasn't there, great idea to have one that folds down to a backpack!
I'd love to know too - I've seen stools that are back packs but not seats??
It's one of these (just in a different fabric). It's quite bulky, but totally worth it with how comfortable they are:

This is the chair I use:

@@helencryer Thank you, Helen!
That’s a lovely painting! I didn’t notice that your filming was bad, I really enjoyed it!x
Oh good - thank you!!
Beautiful painting, and wow, do you ever live in a gorgeous area!
Thanks! Yes I'm super lucky - I love it here!
That is lovely
Thanks!
Beautiful sketch/painting Helen ❤ Could you tell me more about your char/rucksack please? Sounds interesting 🤔😊
Thanks! It is this one (just with different fabric). It's a bit bulky to carry, but is very comfortable to sit/lie in, and practical with the big pockets!

@@helencryer Thankyou Helen, I’ll check it out 😊
Hi Helen! 😊
