Helen Van Wyk quotes:

Gray is the queen of colors, because she makes everyone else look good.

You can't get it right, until you make it wrong.

It is in the contrast of light and dark that design happens.

A painting is a collection of a series of corrections.

I don't look where I'm going, I look where I've been.

I switched to painting with my left hand to be in better company.

If it's all wrong, it's all right.

It's not what you paint. It's how you paint it. You don't have to paint elaborate things. Paint simple things as beautifully as you can.

See it in terms of paint. We don't learn subject matter, we learn paint. The musician can play any score that is set before him.

You're afraid because you're thinking about the end, not about what you're doing.

The first thing you see is the last thing you do.
