Description:
In this final segment, Helen Van Wyk reviews her process for balancing light and shadow throughout the composition. With light coming from the left and above, Helen carefully adjusts the table plane and ensures consistency in lighting across the subject matter. Using the same techniques for both reflective and non-reflective objects, she explains how highlights, shadows, and tonal contrasts bring depth and unity to the painting. Helen highlights the importance of knowing when to stop, leaving her painting at a balanced stage. With her signature humor, she hints at teaching how to make soup before wrapping up the lesson.
