Helen Van Wyk

I discovered this art teacher a few months ago. I like both her technique and her sense of humor. I painted with oils in college and really miss them, had to stop for health reasons. I loved underpainting and using glazes so this particular class is right down my wheelhouse.

"How do I make things this round? Years of drinking..."

Van Wyk (1930-1994) had a popular and long running PBS show, Welcome to my studio. She also published a magazine called Palette talk.
