This was very helpful in figuring out how to start the general outline of the figure before filling in. Loved the production work on this video!

Thank you very much for sharing. interesting to see how you made the video about more than you and your self portrait. Hope more will come in the future.

Благодарю Вас за душевное видео.Портрет живой получился . Успехов в работе.

Thank you for sharing your life as a painter, Helen. It's inspiring to hear how you hold yourself and your work as you create such beauty. Images of your studio and the creek outside your window and the music you chose, set a nourishing background. This self portrait shows your strength and mastery - Bella! I was delighted to see a detail of the rose painting I purchased from you last year. I look forward to each installment on your channel.

hi love your artworks I just want to ask that the drawings that you have shown in this video are created by your own imagination?

Forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know . . . that tack hammer of yours has a magnetic end. You can pick up a tack with it, lightly tap it into place, turn to the other end of the hammer head, and drive it in. I see you struggling when you don't have to. You do nice work.

Thank you, I did know that! Though I'm afraid I am not yet coordinated enough to tap it into the center of the stretcher where it needs to be so I resort to doing it by hand.

Beautiful
