    You always inspire me so much, your art is gorgeous. I've done digital painting for years and am only now just getting into acrylics. I'd love to give oils a go soon, this is so helpful, thank you!

I have my grandpa's old Art Supplies and i didn't know what the oil or the ink as used for but know that i watched her video's i know what they are used for, I even found some of the same pants used in this video. I am so happy i am subscribed to her and she will lead the way in my artwork history! Thanks so much Lena!

    @lasoob 7 років тому +2

    This is great. I'm enjoying your videos a lot. You seem to have such a clear grasp of hue and tonality. Adding the orange tones to the skin really brought it to life. Buuuut I'm such a stickler for eye anatomy. The cornea is actually the clear outer layer of the eye that domes outwards in the centre. The 'whites' of the eye are the sclera. I used to work in optics which is why I'm such a pain with this 😂

    I recently subscribed to your You Tube channel because I'm a beginner painter (as in I literally have only done one painting in my life and I used your candle video as my reference) Thankyou for your videos!! I find them really helpful in my learning! I'll let you know when I have completed my second painting (again... I'll probably use one of your videos as a ref.)
    What I find extremely helpful about every single one of your videos is that you show me what colours you use to create all the different tones in the references. Keep it up because I have NO IDEA how to mix colours yet!!! Thanks for your help I really appreciate it!!

    Wow, that was so amazing, I have never seen the painting of an eye demonstrated so expertly. Your skills are unbelievable, and I will make an attempt to use what you have taught me, as I am struggling with a 16"×20" portrait of my prescious little 4 year old granddaughter. To share a little about myself, I am 30 years, USArmy, retired, and combat disabled from my 3 wars, and 4 combat tours, trying to live through the loss of my Commander, and too many of my soldier and coalition friends. My painting has always been a struggle while working through my problem with color-blindness. Red/green is the range of my color problems. I am so looking forward to your other teaching videos. Thank you,
