Painting Simply Stated: This book is for those who have neither the time nor the inclination to plunge into painting as if it were a life's work and yet are unsatisfied with anything less than a direct, studious and explicit approach to the challenge of painting. The essential elements of painting are simply stated in width rather than depth giving a foundation for specialized study. // Helen Van Wyk //

Study & Teaching

The major bulk of Helen Van Wyk's illustrious career was devoted to teaching others the principles and fundamentals of painting. Consequently, her students came away from her classes with a profound understanding of the elements that made their paintings look credible. Many of her students went on to teach in their own right, just as Helen had done at the age of eighteen when she came out from under the protective (and critical) wing of her mentor, M. A. Rasko. And now, we have compiled the most-asked questions by students of Helen's over her forty-year teaching career. Some of the questions you will find answers to: How are reflections in water and tables painted? How is a background painted smoothly? Why shouldn't I use black? What are the many oil painting mediums? When are they used? How did the Old Masters use glazes? What are the most common mistakes in composition? How can I make a copy that's exactly like a photo or painting? What colors would I need to paint white subjects? How can I paint textures that are shiny and dull?

Color Mixing the Van Wyk Way: A Manual for Oil Painters

Light started this world and for Betty Lou Schlemm, light is one of the most important parts of a painting. In chapter after chapter, she explains some of her views on light and how it affects the painting in color, its effects on the atmosphere and the pictorial space. Without this one element in the painting, the artist says, there is nothing. She first discusses the theory behind her painting procedure and philosophy and then, in the demonstrations that follow, she shows how to apply these ideas in practice.
