You are ever so sweet dearest Helen ! I almost jump for joy when I get an email from You ! You are as colourful as your beautiful art !! I wish the video was much much longer as I was soaking into a dream watching it and listening to your soothing voice reading extracts from those lovely books ! Thank you ever so much for making my day so much brighter ! Wished I was sitting right there with you while having your tea /coffee from that lovely teacup !! ☕️ Sending you a sincere hug....love and Blessings.... Lorraine 🥰🤗❤️🎨🙏🏻
Always so happy to see a new video from you! Made myself wait until I could sit down with a cuppa and watch properly. I just finished reading your book. LOVED it and hope there will be many more.
Love you videos nd your colourful, happy vibes. Love your paintings hun. Thank you for sharing your special time in your art studio. Blessings of love nd light Karen 😂
Oh, I love your sketch book cover now, it will be a joy just seeing it sitting on your desk or shelf! Thank you for being a continual inspiration and for sharing what inspires you.
Thank you for sharing the books of these two artists. I love both of them and will definitely further investigate their work. Love your videos and your art!!
A welcome treat to get a video from you on a Monday Helen! Enjoyed you explaining the process of making your art on paper. Seeing inside your sketchbooks is also a joy too! Thanks for the book recommendations! x
I love this video - seeing you create, combined with voiceover, sharing who you are inspired by (thank you for sharing their social media info clearly!), and the music was lovely … an interesting, inspiring, textured piece of video art! Thank you!
Tuesday morning here in NZ is my favourite time of day because I know that I’ll get an immediate burst of joy and enthusiasm from Helen. Thank you so much for all the knowledge you so willingly share. You are a jewel!
I just love your work! I have to say, though, that I didn’t realize at first that the yellow on your paintings was the masking tape. They were even more beautiful when I thought the yellow was a border. Every video of yours is a delight. I’m so glad I found you!
This is fascinating! The processes you described here....its almost as if a complete saturation of the idea is required, and tried out in a variety of materials before committing to a final piece. Its something I haven't thought about (or tried) before. I'm a bit more direct and just go ahead, whereas perhaps I could be a bit more of an explorer and try the idea out in different ways before finally choosing to complete it. Very inspired now! :) x
Oh I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you so much. So I guess that is exactly how I like to work, to marinate an idea and really lean into it and see where it goes...but there is no right way or one way to make art...xx
Thank you for introducing those two wonderful artists and for sharing your artworks/processes. It certainly is amazing how different each artwork is despite the recurring subjects and elements. So inspiring! 😍 May I ask which UV-protection (brand) you use?
Hello. Well... it's not super thick paper, I think its only 160gsm, it will take some wet media definitely ..but I doubt it would handle a real hammering...xx
Another inspiring video Helen ... many thanks for continuing to share your process(es) and enthusiasm ... blessings my friend.
You are so welcome lovely Gail! Thank you for watching and encouraging me. Love Helen x

@@HelenWellsArtist Thank you! 😊
I love your videos always! Curious if the Daler Rowney Sketchbook can handle water media or whether it needs gesso?
Hello. Well... it's not super thick paper, I think its only 160gsm, it will take some wet media definitely ..but I doubt it would handle a real hammering...xx
So happy to have found your channel. Kari @karismixedmediaart sent me.
Oh wow that’s lovely and you are warmly welcome 🙏🏼
