Paint a Self Portrait
Demonstrating how she paints her "mirror image" Helen Van Wyk passes along the knowledge she gained as a student
of illustrator Ralph Entwistle and portraitist M.A. Rasko. Self-portraits are the best way for an artrist to
learn and practice the difficult dicipline of portraiture. Rembrandt painted himself more than 70 times. In
three segments, Helen demonstrates how to develop and successfully complete a portrait from a linear sketch.
Along the way, she discusses the role that complementary color plays in creating the lifelike dimension that is
at the heart of representational portraiture. Offering more than a simple lesson in portrait painting, Helen
presents instructions that will help you in all phases of your artistic experience! ,
