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. ♥

    Zucchini.... I’m a old man trying to find a new hobby. Actually just started learning, and you taught me more than most. Thank you for your time... I turned the bell on.. look forward for more insightful knowledge.
  • @tamaramurphy479
    These are honestly my favourite videos from Lena ( from a college student who cant afford patreon)
  • @janetpaints3002
    I watched all the way through brilliant I’ve refound my love of painting at over 70 years old and found this very helpful. Thank you. Wish I was younger as struggle with technology you make zooming in the reference photo look so easy. In the middle of this corona virus here in England but not in lockdown so have more time on my hands to paint. I’ve spent the last 48 years of my life volunteering helping others understand the bible and its prophecies now its time to paint. THANK YOU 😊

    This is one of the best painting tutorials I've seen on YouTube. Mostly because Lena doesn't insist on her choice of technique and colors is the best. Thus she encourages every Young artist to experiment with their own ideas. Many thanks, Lena.

    I wanted to paint a nice painting. I went to by me some cherries I ate them and except the fact that I will never paint a nice painting.
  • @essaart3987
    Lena it was very helpful😍. But please, when you have time, make a full tutorial about the portraits. Gridding, toning, mixing flesh tones. I d like to see the gridding part so much❤
  • @justdeb1107
    I have never painted a single painting in my life and did this one. It wasn’t Rembrandt, but it wasn’t terrible, either. Thanks for posting. It really helped.
  • @farahshaikh1173
    I love that how she goes through each and every detail of the reference picture
  • @dejavous666
    Zucchini!!!!! Just getting back into oils after 30+ years! Just got an easel and supplies from my wonderful husband for Christmas! Merry Christmas!
  • @lzak8650
    Thank you for this tutorial. I just completed my cherry painting and am so pleased with the results. I haven’t painted in ages so I really benefitted from this video😊👍🏻
  • @markm3853
    I'm another old(er) man chiming in to say thanks for your videos. They've been MOST helpful with my launch into oils. Something as seemingly simple as how to clean brushes left me dazed and confused when I found 10 different ways of doing it in 10 different posts. I realize that there are many ways to do things, but I find your message very clear, consistent and credible. I like your gentle and methodical approach to all of your posts. You are an excellent teacher. Thanks.
  • @user-ge3wi4hz7u
    Followed this for my first ever oil painting and it turned out pretty good! Awesome job explaining how to mix colors and how to pick apart the different values. Thanks!
  • This is one of the best painting explanation videos ever! Thank you! Seriously, you went into depth and had the right precision.
  • They look great! Love the depth of reds . Very accurate! I have watched all of your first videos also and you have came far! I know it’s not easy , especially having to deal with all the business end of being an independent artist ! You give self taught artists hope😊 and great tips and a smile too ! So thanks

    Zucchini…Thank you for your instruction and insights. I am a beginner finally pursuing a hobby that has long sense been on the “back burner “ of my life. I appreciate how you emphasize that these are your preferences and that everyone is different in their methods reaching somewhat the same results. It gives permission to try new things and grows one’s own perspective and creativity.
  • the shadows and blue highlights on the cherries were the most helpful tips for me! as always zucchini
  • @emmahughes9822
    Thank you for this video! I have completed my first ever attempt with oil paints thanks to you, and I'm so pleased with the results!
  • @timrosenthal46
    Zookeeni.... Zuchieny ....Zuckeney ...DOH !! Thanks, that was great ...I'm starting to oil paint again after 30 years and need a refresher.
  • Zucchini! This was a great tutorial, I’ve just recently found you and I’m loving your videos, I still have so many to watch!!
