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."
