Kissing and Warm Colors: Adding Passion to Your Paintings
Encouraging us to think carefully about how we paint Helen shows how "Kissing" ruins paintings,
how dimension is lost and how "Kissing" can make a confused subject matter. Helen tackles the
hot subject of orange with a full demonstration of a still life that includes orange fruit and a
vase. As always, Helen teaches us basic principles of painting and it is up to us to and grasp
her words. One viewing of this video is not enough to fully digest its content. The color red,
the subject of passion: Helen introduces us to a still life involving leather bound books, wine
and glasses. She covers lessons such as how to add passion to your paintings and how to paint
reflections and how to paint glass. As Helen had always asserted, "still life is the back-bone
of good painting."
