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, and sometimes watercolor. The vast majority of what I share here on youtube involves my creation process: paintings, drawings, time lapses, 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. ♥

As a beginner I am rapidly appreciating exactly as you say: observe and recreate what you see, at least for realism. It takes a while to get used to the high level of detail you need to be aware off, and I'm still trying to get good at that. I am more into water colour and (forced in class!) acrylic. Thanks for helping prepare me for oils!
I always wanted to paint and you made it seem much less intimidating. I painted my first landscape right after subscribing :)
Cat J That's awesome. 👍
*Pineapples*
This was probably one of my favorite videos. There was a lot to take away from your process. Also the fact of how you mentioned continuing to work on things that may have already been well enough only to mess them up and have to fix them again. Too many people see YT videos where art is done in one masterful stroke and its perfect. This brings home the point that art isnt at all like that. Thank you for an awesome demomstration.
Girl I was just looking up how to paint stuff easy with oils and then you upload this 😂😂😂 THANK YOU ILY
aw yay!! I hope it's helpful ♥♥♥
Lena Danya Of course it was!!!!!! Thank you so much! I absolutely love your paintings and the way you explain your easier oil painting videos ❤❤❤❤
Wow I really needed this long video ... I really want to sign up to Lena's patreon but I am a student and can't afford it right now ... So this long process videos helps sooooo much
I hope this one helps!! I'll try to make more longer in-depth free tutorials ♥♥♥ thank you for watching ^_^
Lena Danya thank you very helpful as the comment above. Great advice for beginners to do still life studies...think once master them can understand more and learn a lot from this.
Lena Danya would be great if you did a series of basic stills like this something like a year of study ..would get beginners to follow along ..motivation and master them as they paint along with you. Like an art quest...and end if year everyone would advance...one fruit a month or two...not sure if you have time...many students we'd love to support in one way...even if we can't on patreon.
Fabulous detailed explanation of color choices, mixing colors, and applying. I'm a rank beginner, and the equipment explanation was very helpful. Amazing how you got the waxy look of the apple! Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for very much for taking the time to do this!
Awesome! I finally did my first oil painting following along to this video (with the reference printed out too). It was so helpful getting me started on mixing colors because I had no idea where to start with that. I was expecting a step by step tutorial (like paint nite) but it wasn't and now I'm so GLAD it wasn't! I learned so much more this way. Thank you Lena!
This is the perfect video. I have been so blocked in simply starting painting with oil. Step by step video with access to the same reference photo. Thank you, thank you, thank you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hi Lena ! I started watching you a couple weeks ago and I’m totally hooked. I also just started painting (acrylic) but want to experience oil painting after I move. I love your work. I watch your videos when I have anxiety and it truly helps me. Thanks so much for what you do :)
I'm so happy to hear that! :] I hope you get a chance to try oils soon ♥ ^_^ happy painting!
Wow !! This was excellent and really very useful and being a creator , I can completely see the time and effort you have put into making of this tutorial ❤️❤️
Thankyou for sharing !!
You are an inspiration 🙏❤️
Thank you so much. It was very well done and extremely helpful.
I think my favorite thing about painting is seeing the paint blend; it's so calming and beautiful.
This is just a wonderful teaching session for beginners! I've gained so much more from this frank and open display of the ordinary mind engaged in creating a piece of art... You have revealed much more about the process of painting than those highly choreographed masters who never make a mistake in any brush stoke. Hooray for the human element in painting! Thank you for your naturalness and honesty.
I should add that I really admire Realism - the detail is incredible.
Ohh man! My head is turning around i watched the whole video really late night and now i really want to paint it now!!! BTW great video for a starter really inspired😙😙😙😙
Watching the way you blended and added layers really help to figure out how not to make the colors muddy. Great tutorial I work in acrylic but want to get into oil painting thanks.
I really appreciate the way you explain what you’re doing as you paint. Especially for beginners! Thank
You 🤗
I so glad you made it. Thank you so much, I really appreciate your dedication to your work and channel S2
pineapples btw
thank you! YAS PINEAPPLES!!
Thank you so much this helped alot. I have been wanting to start painting and I like the look and versitility of oils, but it seemed so daunting. But you Oil Painting Basics video nd this have helped me weave my way through it
PS Pineapples
i got my first set of oil paints for christmas. i have been in love with your art for a while and have been wanting to see a more thorough video on your channel. thanks so much, on behalf of every beginner, for making this video!
Pine... apples... Can't thank you enough. I'm new to painting and your videos are the best that I've seen. They have become a reference for me.
You nailed it with this one. Videography, editing, lighting are fantastic. But what makes it stand out is your commentary. It's amazing! It's incredibly helpful and encouraging not to only see you work, but actually hear what your thought process is at that moment. I love that I can see how you view and correct stuff and hear your thought process along with it! There are a million painting vids on UA-cam but I think that your attention to detail not just to the how-to but the why-and--the-reason I'm doing it is why your vids stand apart. You are a born teacher. It's obvious that you put your heart and soul into what you do. Please keep doing what you're doing, you're great at it.
Amazing work, i'm also an artist but stop doing paintings for about 2 decades, now i have to start all over again.
Pineapples... I'm about to start oil painting again after about 20 years... OMG, I feel really old now... But I tried oil paints in High School and someone I care about a lot told me I had no talent for it, so I stopped. I should have kept going because I really enjoyed it, and I liked what I made. My hubby is amazing though and encourages me in my art, so I decided to give it another go now that I am older, lol. I love your art, I've been watching some of your videos and some from other oil painters for inspiration... I have everything I need now, just trying to get up the guts to start! Thank you for sharing your art with us!
Hi Heather :-) You're the only other person I see that commented "Pineapples" haha! Although, I only got this far down in the comments. When I was in grade 5 or 6, a kid told me I would never be an artist, after making fun of my painting. His painting was awesome, and I believed him. I avoided art for over 30 years...funny how people can affect us with their words, not funny haha. Interesting really, and sad. I'm so happy you have a husband who supports your arting! That's really cool! Have you started painting? I hope so
Your story sounds just like mine! Including the husband part hehe. I started last year with classes and I love them so bad! Besides I love art, I have found that it really helps a lot with my depression, I’ve been under medication for 9 years but this past year the doctor has been giving me lower doses and I’m about to finish with them! It’s incredible how much it has helped me!
Recently changed to oils from acrylics. This is by far the best tutorial I've used so far. It helped a !ot. Thank you.
Thank you SO much, Lena! Not only are you an magnificent artist but you are a wonderful teacher! Thanks again!
I signed my 9 year old up for an oil painting class for 10 and up. It starts in 2 weeks and we’re surprising her with her own paints and such. I’m just here to see what kind of mess we are in for 😂
hi, Lena! thank you for your AMAZING tutorial! I tried to draw with a pencil on a canvas and it shows through paint... any idea how to fix it?
Literally I enjoyed every second of this video and it inspired me to learn oil-painting. I used to do some sketching, but now I am thinking of trying to put my hands on paintings. Thanks for the help Lena. You're such a perfect and generous guide.
This was very intuitive ... don’t concern yourself with not being understood. You do a marvelous job of teaching as you go. Your choice of words explaining the techniques was especial. Thanks sooo much.
Pineapples :)
I don't oil paint, but I am intrigued by the process of it. I also love learning about the different mediums and techniques for oils.
But what I found from watching your videos is a lot of transferable skills like brush techniques and the process of a painting. The biggest thing I have learned is colour theory, especially your explanations about the shadows and high lights.
You are incredible and I love your spirit and perspective on painting. I look forward to your future videos and art works! :)
Love you! You're amazing!👏❤
Thank you for teaching so patiently
with all the details about color and medium ☺️ can’t wait to try out .
Having never been an oil painter or really understood how the medium worked (acrylic was always my favourite) and not having painted for decades, I'm slowly working through your tutorials, which are great, before I dive into oils big-time. Thank you for your time and effort. Pineapples is the least I could do.
Pineapples!!!
I'm inspired to try this out. I'm terrified of oils, they've sat in my art drawer for years unopened. I need the skillz!
bettybobo99 aw don't be afraid of them! It's ok to make mistakes and oils are pretty forgiving 💕
Lena Danya I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for the tutorial! 🖌️
sounds like me...
The one dislike is an acrylic painter (lol jk)
🙂This could be another reason: za.pinterest.com/pin/450782243934606852/
Lol, what is there not to like?!! (pineapple)
Mary Anne Clifton oh I'm just being silly on the internet :P
apology89 the other watercolour Painters acrylic Painters and people who don’t agree
😂🤣
I am just learning to use oil paint. Your tutorials have helped me less intimidated! Thank you for you approach and encouragement! Pineapple!
Hi Lena, pineapples! You were born to do this! Not only oil painting but teaching people. I started a week ago, and so far (don’t want to be friend any others 😄) your videos were least condescending, most helpful, and inspiring! You get it !!! - meaning you realize many people’s urge to express themselves, not to create a perfect realistic painting. Thank you - without your videos - I’m serious - I probably would not get as dark to realistic painting as painting an apple ☺️. YOU made it look like possible and fun! Thank you..
This was just a lovely tutorial. Oh yes, pineapples! I don’t mind the parts you call “repetitive,” I feel beginners need to see those strokes and decisions.
Thank you for this awesome video ❤❤❤️
thank you for watching!
Oumaima H up
I really got a lot out of this video! Thank you! The slower and more simple subjects that you do like this are a HUGE help to those of us not quite comfortable with oils, yet, so thank you so much!!!
PS - pineapples. Lol
Thank you so much for spending the time, to share your knowledge and amazing skils. I am about to try oil paint for the first time after struggling with acryics drying so fast, so thanks again, your a brilliant artist x
Pinapples! hahaha Thank you very much! Amazing video!
Pineapples x2 and cute kitties!!
Great video quality as usual. THANKS
My homework for the weekend...something simple..very detailed explenation and step by step, mixing..observing and okaying mistakes and inaccuracies...what more complete than this would anyone want..excellent...waiting for more.
I've been following you since a long time...thank you.
Terrific video. I love watching every stroke. It's never boring!
Great video ... thanks pineapples 🍍
♥♥♥ ^_^
VERY helpful and amazing!! Thank you. 😊😊
Btw, is having a limited pallette better than having a pallette full of different colours?
I think it depends! Limited palettes are great for learning color theory and if on a budget or keeping their possessions minimalistic. But I also love having lots unique pigments that make it possible to paint with colors that would not otherwise not be achieved through basic limited palette simply because those pigments aren't there
Thanks for the great pineapple tutorial! Leaving in all those 'boring' bits is really good for me, as it helps show the useful bits that are often ignored such as going back and reworking areas.
Hi Lena, This tutorial is Just what I have been looking for, step by step. So glad I found you!
So how do you dispose of the galkyd gamsol mix? As far as I know that can't go down the drain
Drea Sachse I've always wondered the same thing.
Drea Sachse I’m not Lena (obviously) but thought I’d jump in here incase you’re still looking for an answer. I always let my galkyd mix, dry in the glass container if there’s any left over. After a couple of days it dries like a piece of plastic and you can just peel it off and throw it away.
i put it in a bowl so i always have some left over, and with the stuff i use to clean my brushes i just leave it out snd eventually the paint falls to the bottom and i can re use it.
I know with acrylic paint water people put the paint water in a container with cat litter in it and the cat litter absorbs the liquid. Then u can throw the clumps of cat litter away in the trash. So I think you can do the same with the gamsol mix. I think with any of the painting substances that should not go down the sink can be put in cat litter.
Great question.
What student brand of oil paints do you recomend?! Btw I love your art!!!!!
Andie O'Brien blick has an awesome starter pack! It’s all the great basic colors in smaller tubes for like $60
I linked a Gamblin introductory set in the description + some mediums, it's like $32 on sale at Jerry's Artarama right now :D
Ok thank you!
^ Woah things are pretty expensive in west I guess. I get a $8 set of 24 oils and it's the best quality of student grade oils in my country.
You have such a calming voice, great tutorials!
You did an awesome job explaining this! My eight-year-old daughter and I are going to start painting and it looks like I picked the right video to start off with. There were some thumbs down on your video and I cannot understand what they had a problem with? You did great! After watching this I am so excited for us to get started. Thank you!
I'm pretty new at painting, when I paint the paint is so thin that its a little transparent, I can see the pencil marks of my outline through the paint very very clearly. What am I doing wrong? I'm using linseed stand oil as thinner so is that the problem? Am I not using enough paint?
use very light hand while drawing outlines as they look seemles if not erase them a bit
Oil paintings somtimes require recoating /glazing..
I like realism and that apple is edible!
Terry McGeary
what
Pretty much a ripe apple that I'd love to eat! Ahh xD
Beautiful painting. Thank you for sharing your observant expertise
Excellent tutorial, well filmed and clearly presented besides being a great way to see how to paint in oils. Thank you.
I was waiting for the tape peeling the entire video 0^0... Pineapples... Love you Lena ❤️
pineapples!! ^_^ YASSS tape peeling is so fun ♥♥♥
🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍
I'm a true beginner and have been afraid to try painting in oil. You have encouraged me to try. Thank you and your video is wonderful.
I loved painting with oils in high school, but that was years ago and I’ve lost my touch. I’ve been wanting to get back into. This video helped me a ton! I’d forgotten how to properly use the turpentine and mediums together, so thank you for this video!!

No ha hecho bien la sombra. Ha escogido una fotografía complicada
PineApple. People do not know how lucky they are to have youtube. I tried to learn Oil painting in 1965 - 1968. As a young teenager and really made a mess. Did not no what I was doing and gave up. Now just retiring and find all the resources available to learn how to paint. Hence very pleased to find you on youtube.
This was very helpful as I have recently returned to oil painting after 30 years of watercolors! I needed a refresher on technique and it was very well worth it! Pineapples!
Excellent video! I have been using acrylics and just started with oils. I'm surprised at how different they are! Your video is a big help. Thanks!
You are very good teacher for beginners👍👍👏👏👏👏 please keep more videos on UA-cam for beginners🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This apple looks so real you did such an amazing job thank you for the tips also!
This is by far the best video for beginners on UA-cam . Thank you so much, Lena for sharing. You truly are an amazing teacher! You are very generous with all of your explanations. Will follow and like! Thank you again ❤
Great demonstration. Just getting back into painting again, and needed this refresher! Thanks!
Thank you for this tutorial. I tried my very own and it came out pretty well
Beautiful apple painting and description of technique. Can’t wait to see more. Thank you.
pineapples!!! I love your tutorials. they're really helpful to some who know nothing about painting with oil (aka me). however I find painting a great way to relax and refresh your mind. spending the time just looking at colors and combining colors and focusing on the details of the painting, it's just such a relief.
Amazing! I want to try oil paints now. I've been using acrylics and I can't stand how fast they dry 😠 thank you for this in depth tutorial. Your teaching method is exactly what I need to learn you are so good at teaching.
I've been oil painting for months now and didn't even feel like I needed a tutorial but...can't miss a lena video! So soothing just to watch and listen to (I actually got inspired about 10 minutes in and starting painting something entirely different but let the video play all the way through) oh and also, pineapples
thanks for a great tutorial...your have great way of explaining your techniques.
Loved it! Don't be too hard on yourself - you definitely make sense when you're explaining the different parts of the apple; I appreciate your honesty and integrity in your process b/c as a learner, it's encouraging to know that you, too, go through and re-paint and tweak areas; truly this is a very inspiring thing to me! I follow you everywhere and
Loved it! Your technique is process is so similar to mine. I'm using this for my students to refer back to.
Excellent video and easy to follow instructions on getting started with oils. I currently paint with acrylics and have been intimated to start with oils. Your video made it look manageable. Thank you~
Thank you for this tutorial, they're not really a lot of oil painting tutorials but there is a lot of acrylic ones which I like. I'm thinking of trying oil but I'm extremely nervous but this tutorial definitely helped calm some of those nerves. 😀
I learned so much...Thank you! You make it look so easy!! I really feel like I can oil paint now!
Complimenti! one of my favourite videos! I'm a beginner and you helped me so much with this video! GRAZIE!
Pineapples! Thank you for explaining so much! I have watched lots of UA-cam art videos and yours is the BEST! I even signed up for your Patreon site, even though I hadn’t heard of Patreon before.
Don’t apologize for all the detailed explanations, because I need it, and I’m sure I’m not alone.
So glad to have found you! ❤️
Really detailed and well edited tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you soooo much for making this. I was painting along with you in my head lol. I will be truingbthis tomorrow. You make it very clear and laid out wonderfully. I was so confused before now I feel much more confident. And to answer yes you made perfect sense! Thank you again!
Good demo. It’s always helpful to see how someone else tackles fabric so thanks for not cutting that out.
Thank you for the “lesson” I really enjoyed the steps , explanation thanks
Yay! I hope there are more tutorials like this one on the channel. I'm gonna try this out! :)
Thank you, Lena! I hope to switch from acrylics to oil paints and your care-filled, specific instruction makes me hopeful that I can take up oil paints. Pineapple!
Pineapples!
Thank you for sharing these videos. There's nothing like watching someone with experience, and getting an explanation while they're at it. I was always intimidated by the very thought of oil painting, but watching you do it, it really seems very enjoyable. Who knows, I might try it myself. =) I am in complete awe of your work!
Lena, thank you for this video for beginners! I haven't really had a lot of time to paint, but I always find myself watching your painting tutorials when I can. Thank you again! Pineapples!
I made an apple and I have never been more proud of myself :)
Thanks so much!
Good painting tutorial. Loved the commentary and the brush strokes. Would like to watch more like this before I dare to take the brush in my hand again.
A good exercise in colour mixing applicable to almost anything we choose to paint!
Okay so I’ve always loved the concept of painting, but I didn’t grow up doing it regularly and so when I started out I was just using acrylic, and it is very challenging to use, I think, because it dries so fast it’s hard to blend. So of course I started to do some research. I started following painters on Instagram and noticed how some paint this one guy used seemed to blend really well and my mind was blown, but I never found out what paint it was. I started watching Bob Ross, and he used oil paint, but his paintings looked complicated and beyond my level of ability because I didn’t understand what oil paint was or how it worked. So when I found your videos explaining the basics of oil paint/ing I was enthralled! I’m so happy I’m beginning to understand new things about painting! I always do lots of research before investing in something and your videos are really helping me understand things that will undoubtedly be helpful. Thank you so much!
I'm always drawing with pencils and this time I decided to try oil painting..so this video is very helpful..thank you very much:D
Your an amazing artist! You have inspired me to continue to pursue being an artist
Thank you!
I really appreciate your thorough explanations throughout the video. Very helpful! 😊🎨🖌️🍎👩🎨
Pineapples! Great video, thank you so much. I have enjoyed watercolour and acrylic for a long time now and have always been afraid to try oil. I had no idea I needed mediums and would have just started putting paint straight on a canvas lol. I’ve learned lots from you and can’t wait to give it a go!! Thanks again! 🍍
pineapples....great job. I was just gifted oil paints and after watching 3 of your vids, I think I'm ready to try it out.
I love to watch you paint. It is very relaxing
