Hi. I posted another thread showing the actual color block study method used by Hensche in the Oil Painting Forum. This thread is about his color study […]
This study was done to practice seeing, mixing and and painting the relationships of color and light on different planes. Theoretically these colored block studies should be done outdoors with natural light, but it was a cold windy day and I wasn't feeling well (and still don't—first it was stomach flu and now a cold)…

Oil on panel, 9x12" (Larger) On Monday mornings I'm taking a painting class from Camille Przewodek in Petaluma. I first read about her on Ed Terpening's blog and when I saw her absolutely stunning work I was thrilled to be able to study with her. As I understand it, the focus of her class is…
Do studies, not pictures. Know when you are licked — start another. Do not belabor defeat. Be alive, stop when your interest is lost. When your brain leaves the room you are done. Put off finish — make a lot of starts. The Art is in the start. It is so hard and so long before a student…

Some time ago, I emailed about an artist named Henry Hensche for his stunning use of color. In response, one of my readers suggested I check out the work of an Australian artist, Hilda Rix Nicholas. I wasn't familiar with the name, but turns out I was captivated by one of her paintings when I visited the New South
Helen Durant has been experimenting with paint, torn paper, graphite, and found objects for most of her life. From a formal painting class at the old Atlanta School of Art to her current studio in Savannah, Georgia, Durant has invented her own ways of translating the world around her.An art teacher at boarding school encouraged Durant’s passion for art, telling her to follow her heart. A trip to Europe exposed her to the works of the great masters. She stayed with her cousin in Cezanne's chateau noir, in Aix-en-Provence. Later, at the museum school in Boston, she received more traditional training. Two summers in Provincetown, Massachusetts, with Henry Hensche broadened her world of color.Durant married, and her growing family became the subject of many drawings and paintings. As her children grew up and her time became more her own, Durant spent more time in her studio at the old Murray Mill, now called the Goat Farm, observing the goats outside her window. The goats inspired an extended series of works, which continue to this day. A trip to New Mexico in 2003 and a safari to Kenya in 2008 stirred her spirit and added much new material from which to draw. Durant located to Savannah, Georgia in 2016.Durant's love of animals has been evident throughout her career. Her concern for the environment and its wildlife has deepened into a passion for conservation. Her love of wolves and concern for the struggles they now face as result of misconceptions and myth has moved her to produce an entire body of work on the subject in the last several years.Helen Durant has exhibited widely in the United States. In Atlanta, she has shown her work for many years in some of the best venues in the city. Her work can be seen in public, corporate, and private collections throughout the United States and abroad.Durant works in mixed media, primarily charcoal and acrylics, sometimes adding collage elements, such as newspaper. Her subjects are most often figures or animals. Durant is interested in the role played by the unconscious in her work, and she strives to not force the content, but rather to let it emerge out of the process of painting itself. And Durant's creative process always begins with drawing, which she calls her "first love.”
