Today, Helen is teaching you her favorite lesson. Why? Helen always wants you to ask why. If you can paint a really good apple, you can then use that applepainting expertise in all the other subject matter you encounter. Why? Because an apple has shape, texture, shine, color, and tone. Listen for her story, at the start of the lesson, about the artist she studied under, Maximillian Roscoe.

Helen Van Wyk is quickly recognized by thousands of artists as the host of PBS's Welcome to my Studio television show. Helen took the time to teach us the principles and reasons behind painting each element in the progression of a work. Helen's sensibility in basic natural fundamentals taught us we can paint anything by employing these basics. Subject matter was a minor consequence to Helen. Using the basics, thousands of artists received the confidence to paint any type of subject.
