The books I talk about are:

I got SOMETIMES I THINK SOMETIMES I AM used. WONDERFUL illustrations. thank you!!
It’s a really lovely book… x
Thank you for introducing me to Sara Finellis work. I loved Van Goghs expressive mark making. It's a challenge to work loose and confidently. I was sad when this video finished. I listen and learn a lot from you. Much thanks again. Rachelle, Australia
Wonderful! How kind of you. Thank you 🙏🏼
Wonderful, thank for sharing!
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching and being so positive xx
Your art is astonish and so fresh! I admire you. Continue to embellish my live!
Thank you so much! That is lovely of you! Helen x
Lots of useful information and insights as usual Helen! I like your idea of making notes about what you like when looking at another persons book (work). I think I will have to make this part of my work practice as very often I forget all the things that have inspired me! Have a lovely week. x
Oh that’s great! Thank you so much for all your encouragement xx
Hello beautiful! Thank you for another inspiring video.
Oh well that’s lovely of you. Thank you x
Thank you very much for all this art information you are sharing 🙏🏼. Love your channel and artwork ❤
You are so welcome Neide. Thank you so much for watching. xx
Oh my! Sara Fanelli is a name I’ve never heard of but her work reminded me of the art journaling of Teesha Moore. Her husband also does amazing art journaling but I can’t remember his first name…must be old age! Teesha does more collage than Sara but it rang a bell in me.
Thank you again for your continual generosity. I’ve learned so much from you…and loooove your courses. We sure are lucky to have met you!
Well Bonnie that is just so lovely. I don’t know that artist so I’m off to investigate! How wonderful of you. Love Helen x
Thank you! 💗
My pleasure thank you 🙏🏼
If you ever have the chance to visit the Kroller Muller museum in Holland, please do go. It's unique for where it's situated in a National Park, and has a huge sculpure garden as well as an indoor museum. I've been a couple of times growing up and absolutely loved it.
Oh it sounds fabulous. Thank you for sharing that x
I love everything you do!
Well gosh, that is just super lovely of you. Thank you so much x
Thank you! I am enjoying your content a lot.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for watching x
Oooh I really want to see more of you talking about your art books!!
Oh that’s good to know. I have a LOT of art books!
Excellent as always
Well you are very kind, thank you so much x
I enjoy your videos and it's very inspiring for me as I work with my watercolors and crayons....reconnecting with my inner child 😊 Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome! Thank you for your positive feedback xx
Love the joke de vivre- it leaps off the pages🎉
Oh what a lovely thing to say! Thank you 🙏🏼
Oh thank you, I never thought of taking notes about other art, which is really odd because I am a chronic note taker!
I find it super helpful, hope you do to… xx

Hi sweetie 💖 perfect video right before bed.🥱 I could listen to your voice all day, or night.🤭 I'm going to attack my Sketchbooks tomorrow. I've got water soluble pencils not inktense, but different. Never know what to do with them. Thanks so much! 💖💖💖much love always. 🇦🇺💖💖💖
Oh that’s fabulous! Go you. Thank you Claire ❤️⭐️
@@HelenWellsArtist 🤗💖🇦🇺
Helen do you have a video about your book? I bought it but I am overseas and it will take a while until having it on my hands 😊.. It would be nice to have a glance ❤
Yes I do! There’s one on my website helenwellsartist.com/book thank you so much for buying my book. I do hope you like it. Love Helen x
@@HelenWellsArtistBeautiful book ❤️.. I am in love with your style as it has inspiring me so much to overcome the fear or putting something in a blanc page. Thank you Helen 🙏🏼
@@neidedegouvea Didn't know Helen had a book, thank you. Just ordered it, arrives tomorrow!
Brilliant. Are the pencils that you say are inky different from the watercolour coloured pencils ?
Yes these are a specific brand of pencil called Inktense from Derwent when wet they are more similar to ink than watercolour…so give a very intense colour x
What brand of sketch book do you use, the pages look as if they are pretty thin, I was wondering how the work doesn’t go through to the back. Thanks for sharing appreciated.
Yes in this sketchbook the paper is pretty thin, it's only 150gsm.. its a Daler Rowney A3 sketchbook,, I usually like thicker paper but bought this one for its big size., the materials i'm using don't bleed through...
You would love my Amazon book, ‘The History of Art Materials’ by me A.W.J. Pilgrim.
It does indeed sound fascinating…thank you x
Your art is definitely a lot nicer than Sara Finellis
Oh I just love her work, and think it is brilliant, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder
@@HelenWellsArtist that's very true
