I am an artist residing in sunny, warm [humid] florida! My paintings are heavily inspired by nature and its beauty. I work primarily in oil paint, and sometimes watercolor. I prefer to work in a mostly realistic style and occasionally experiment outside of that. I post oil painting time lapses, painting lessons and tutorials, drawings, art tips, and occasionally artist vlogs where I share bits of my life as an artist. Creating art is my greatest passion and I'm thankful for the chance to share it with you. ♥

Lena Danya you are an amazing painter
@@kali3877 thanks so much!
How are you lena danya
I know that Christmas is far away but I’m hoping I’ll be able to get some oil paints and stuff for Christmas because it looks so relaxing and fun!!!
Hopefully one day I’ll be really good at it
This is the kind of quarantine content we want. I am also an artist, and your artwork is so inspiring to me..
aw ❤️ thanks for watching!
@@LenaDanya Thank you Lena :)
@@SaskaArt You both have Artist names, Lena and Saska . Actually , Saska would be a great name for a drink too.
@@garyburns8040Haha Thank you Gary.. I hope that would be some very healthy non alcoholic drink..
@@SaskaArt Yea, soft drink . I don't drink beer or anything.
I wanted to learn blurry backgrounds for so long now but it's a struggle so thank you so much for the tutorial ❤️❤️❤️
Aw yay! I hope this can help ❤️
I woke up at 0300am this morning so anxious and jittery with nerves 😬 I watched this video and felt so calm. Thank you so much for putting this together! Your videos are high quality and so relaxing. 💚
Lena, I have been painting for a little over a year now. Started with acrylics but switched over to oils soon after. Your videos were partly "responsible" for the switch. Thank you !! I also use glass out of picture frames for palettes. Because the edges can be irregular and sharp, I always line them with electrical tape.... (I also have a layer of thin styrofoam behind them, making the less fragile). No more cuts in my fingers !! Love your work !!
You are so underrated, I seriously don't understand why those people playing some games are so overrated, people like you need more more attention. Great work!
Lena’s art is always so beautiful and incredible to watch and look at. ❤️❤️❤️ I stan
Painting party!! wow- what an amazing tutorial-thank you!! I still have no idea how you keep blending and adding highlights and shadows without getting complete mud-amazing😊
I'm honestly terrified of oil paint and your tutorials are really helpful to soothe my anxiety!! You are so damn talented and I genuinely look up to you Lena♥️
aw that's the best I could hope for, to ease some of those art fears. Oil isn't as scary as it may seem at first ❤️ thanks so much for watching ☺️
This tutorial is amazing ....really kind of you to upload such a long tutorial ...it must've taken so much of your time.... you're my inspiration 💜
So helpful in one shot seeing the palette, reference photo, your painting and having every step described. Painting party for sure! Thank you Lena. Very thoughtful.
PAINTING PARTY!!! I watched this entire video and it is excellent! Don't have time to paint right now as I work (5) 12 hour shifts... I painted year's ago and was in several big, juried shows that lasted for weeks and even months. I can't wait to dig back in!
Great demo. Lovely capture of the reference photo.
Thank you SO MUCH for making this!!!! I have both adored and learned from your art for a long time now, and this step by step is so awesome! Thank you.
Thanks for demystifying the painting process. Your clear, detailed explanation throughout was like a window into a painter’s mind. What a valuable insight this video provides for a beginner! Never mind its length…the time taken was worth it - it’s provided for me both the psychological approach and method used in executing a successful painting. Thanks!
Thank you Lena! this is exactly what I needed to watch. I wasn't sure how to create a blurry background and you have explained it perfectly. Awsome! :D
My favorite artist who brought intimidating art down to normal people's house. I started oil painting because of your beginners tutorials and have painted several pieces following your instruction. Lena you are soooo amazing
I have been looking forward to this 🌸🌸🌸🙌🏻 Thank you so much for putting in the effort and so much of your time!! Your tutorials are the best 👍🏻
thank you for watching ❤️☺️
Lena, this is just stunning! I Learned, or dared as I thought to paint with oils after watching and learning from you! Thank you. And at this strange time, I am sure this video will bring many more in to learn from your beautiful work! Xx
We need more of these videos. I love watching you painting, I a learn a lot from you! 😘 Love from Romania 🇷🇴
You are the best painting teacher so far I have seen on UA-cam. Thank you so much .
I discovered your channel yesterday and I woke up to watch even more videos of your oil painting tutorials :D I guess I'm going to invest in oils next thanks to your cristal clear explanations and ever so engaging teaching methods . Thank you a lot for the effort you're putting out there.
"Painting Party"!!! I really enjoyed this session. I have been painting in watercolor for quite some time now. However, I used to paint mostly in Oils. Sometimes I miss it so much - I love working with oil paint. I may have to pull out the oils again! Thank you for the entertainment. Beautiful work as usual, you are an incredibly talented painter!
Painting party! Listen, I love your tutorials but I can't be the only one who gets sleepy while watching.
I think it's the combination of the soothing background music and your smooth voice.
I don’t normally watch videos this long, but I thought it would really help me with backgrounds that I’ve always struggled with. This helped me so much, I wish I could start some of my paintings over. Thank you for this beautiful tutorial 💜
Painting party! Just starting to learn how to oil paint, and enjoyed watching this from start to finish.
Painting Party! Thank you for an absolute wonderful tutorial. I really appreciate you saying all the paint colors every time you mixed the colors.
I love your paintings! Thank you for sharing your love for painting with us🎨👍🏼💞
This was much awaited, and needed video at this time, this brought my mental peace back, thankyou lena for your efforts, you're amazing!!, We love you❤️❤️
Amazing tutorial with so much important details. Thank you!
LOVED your tutorial. My first attempt at oil painting and you made it a wonderful experience. Thank you for the excellent instructions and beautiful artistry! I now LOVE oils!
Painting Party!
Your videos inspired me to pick up a paint brush for the first time in 15 years. It is a very (happily) emotional process for me. SO much has changed in that time with all the media, and I am still trying to sort it all out. But you make it so easy to follow along and your narrative is very instructive. I appreciate you so much, especially in this quarantine time of the very solitary confinement. You are extremely talented as an Artist AND an Art Teacher. Thank you, thank you for sharing your time and talent.
Your're an inspiration I need so much in my life right now !
Great artist, great soul, thank You Lena!
Painting Party -using your Tutorial to paint Oils on an iPad with Apple Pencil - really good and surprisingly transferrable methods - Thanks You
painting party! Thank you so much...I hung in there throughout and often went back or paused! Love you approach!
Absolutely amazing. Thank you for this gift!!!
Thank you! my first time painting with oil. I watched all the way twice. Will watch once more to finish my painting.
Thank you for this awesome video Lena! I watched the whole video! You are an amazing artist & thanks so much for sharing your skills & knowledge!
Painting party!!!!!!! You are awesome Lena!
Amazing!!! Your absolutely my favorite artist. I love you videos. So inspirational and soothing!❤️🎨🥰
Painting party! Thank you, this was really helpful.
Painting party! Its really nice to see a nearly real time oil painting. Your work is amazing!
You are so talented! I'm starting my first oil painting, and I'm still very young. I'm painting a closed rose with Rain drops on it, but it has a blurry backround, so I not sure how to do it, but since I saw your video, now I know how! Thank you so much for this amazing art you've shared for free! You are one of my favorite artists, and you helped me get inspired! Thank you Lena!!
Happy to see another video from you! The blurred effect is so beautiful and mesmerizing, it's weird to think that didn't really exist in art until cameras came around, then again I don't really know but thanks for the wonderful video it was low key soothing
It is so soothing to watch you paint and listen to whatever u say! Love.
Thank u for being u.
Tc.
Painting party! Thank you, Lena! This is beautiful!

Thank you Lena Just started painting with you Thanks again keep up the step by step process!!!
Painting party! I'm so left brained, so when I see someone like you create such realistic art, it's like magic to me. A very nice video, and definitely worth the time to watch.
Painting Party! Saw the whole thing and loved it! Thank you. I took some pics of Cherry Blossoms and wanted to paint them and found you! Love your work! ❤️🙏🏽🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼

*ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK*
Painting party! Thank you for the video. I appreciated the level of detail-great for me as a beginner to see how your painting process unfolds.
Painting party!!
I tried oil 8 years ago and messed it up. Never tried again. Thank you so much for simplifying oil painting.. now I'm encouraged to go back to it again as soon as the lockdown is over and I get to buy the materials❤️❤️
Such a soothing and relaxing video! Love your work!
Painting Party. Thank you for taking the time to show those of us who want to learn yet feel intimidated. Your video makes it seem attainable. Thank you.
Love this! Ive started making some timelapses of my own art which has made me appreciate the work you put into this video even more, Great work :)
Painting Party! This is a nice video. I have not used oils in a long time. College has been a bit hectic lately now that I am online. You inspired me to use oil paints again. Thank you! Might paint and follow along once I have finished classwork! Nice way to relax.
Beautiful finished picture. Nice little "painting party" . Thankyou
Great video Lena! Loved the “painting party” It was not too long btw. I learned more in this one video than in all the others by hearing your thought process about what and why you did what you did. Good luck in the Seattle area, hope you like it. I used to live there myself. Keep the vids coming!
Thank you, can’t wait to get my supplies. Beautiful tutorial.
I’ve never used oil’s.
Painting party ❤️
Lena, your video presentation is just as beautiful a work of art as your paintings! ❤❤❤
Painting party! Actually I've watched this several times and painted it twice...I like leaving it on and hearing your voice in the background while I paint, so I don't mind one bit that its long!
