Heléne Burrow: June 2012
http://heleneburrow.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Heléne Burrow's Personal Blog. Tuesday, 26 June 2012. I thought I would post pictures of a little oil painting I have been working on. I mentioned in my last post that I was trying to find a way of starting an oil painting that suits me and I feel comfortable with, well this is it, for the time being anyway! The next stage is to work in the background, again being very careful to get my values and temperatures right. I'm trying to vary my edges to suggest distance and to add interest and I'm not tryi...

Heléne Burrow: May 2012
http://heleneburrow.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Heléne Burrow's Personal Blog. Tuesday, 8 May 2012. I have been playing around with some small oil sketches in various differing styles to start to achieve the results I want. Newer readers of my blog will understand that I am switching from using Acrylic to oil paint, something that I have been working on for a couple of years now and trying to find a style that I really like. This is pretty much what my early layers are like:. I use my bristle brushes for this stage as I like the interesting edges but ...

Heléne Burrow: Winter Wolves
http://heleneburrow.blogspot.com/2013/03/winter-wolves.html
Heléne Burrow's Personal Blog. Tuesday, 26 March 2013. I've just returned from a very enjoyable weekend visiting my sister in Kent and photographing a group of wolves at the Anglian Wolf Society. My sister has really taken an interest in photography recently so for her Christmas present I paid for her to go on a one day photography course with Wild Arena, they offer courses photographing various animals but of course I chose my favourite subject of Wolves, I hasten to add that she does like them too!

Heléne Burrow's Personal Blog. Wednesday, 23 January 2013. Happy New Year, happy new Mural! Happy New Year to everyone! I have been a bit quiet on the blog front as I have been working on a mural for a lovely local firm called Topmark. They are specialists in bikes, windsurfing and water sports, should you ever need advise on such matters in this area these are the guys to see, they really know their stuff! As you can see, my design is a little less colourful though as I didn't want the room to be too do...

Heléne Burrow: On the Easel
http://heleneburrow.blogspot.com/2013/07/on-easel.html
Heléne Burrow's Personal Blog. Wednesday, 17 July 2013. Just a quick post of what I've been up too recently. I'm currently in my studio where my cooling system is on overdrive as we are currently experiencing a hot summer, something very unusual in the UK! Hopefully I will be able to take advantage of this weather soon and get outdoors for a spot of painting, however in the meantime I have been working on my oil technique. These are some of the little paintings I have taken to completion.

Heléne Burrow: Gesso Board
http://heleneburrow.blogspot.com/2012/11/gesso-board.html
Heléne Burrow's Personal Blog. Wednesday, 7 November 2012. I've just realised that I haven't posted for a while so here is what I have been up too. I had the lovely month of August free to work on my own paintings before I launched back into teaching my art classes in September. The classes are now well on their way with my students undertaking various projects suited for the mediums of Graphite, Watercolour and Acrylic. The following couple of paintings in progress are on the Ampersand gesso boards that...
