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. ♥

[@reaberilla7134]

When I was a young girl, I used to "dream" of becomming an "artist" - them, with their colour tubes and brushes ... and now, I'm an artist, myself! It's kind of fulfilling! I love your area of work, and if I was a girl, I would have dreamed of being you!

[@reaberilla7134]

I kinda like the "messy" thing! ;)

[@HappyDArtist]

"Some wonderful paint thinner that I will NOT drink..." - You forgot to add "again" to the end of that sentence ;) JK love you and can't wait to see what magic you'll create for your solo show!!

[@artualpseu3691]

Oh I love you too

[@danattack4779]

Happy D. Artist I think so too

[@amysbees6686]

PLEASE KEEP THAT SOLVENT JAR CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE! For your sake and your kitty's 😸.

[@AnastasiaDraws]

Yeah =D Awesome video!

[@susannerauch8237]

I totally understand that chaos feeling when I have to move my happy place. Sometimes I just try to incorporate putting things back together as an opportunity to be creative with my new space. Your new place looks FABULOUS!

[@ashleythompson2089]

I honestly love your art work so much! You keep me inspired to become a better artist everyday!

[@moonriserocks]

Your studio looks lovely and very functional! Hope you are able to get settled quickly, lay down your roots, and make some awesome things for your solo show. Very excited to see what you create for it!

* *hears Lena will do watercolor speedpaint* * , * *cries from joy* * 😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@YM-kg4cb]

Prerana S. Art I hope that so 👍👍

[@SnappyxJx]

Hey Lena, I just want to say that I watch your videos every day and that you are such an inspiration for me. I love everything you stand for, creating every day and working hard to make your dream of being a full time artist come true. I appreciate all of your tips for making it possible and I hope to follow the same path for myself. I absolutely love your use of vibrant colors and the flowers and women you paint are so pretty. My brother just bought me the 11x14 of your print "Sunshine and Flowers" for my birthday that's in two weeks. I want to have a piece or two of yours on my wall so every day I can look at them and be inspired to do what you do. Thank you for creating and sharing with us 😊 Love you 💙

[@bradsbrush5628]

Glad to see you're all set up after your move. I hope your new home makes you feel good, and gives you lots of great creative energy...

[@saltlifegull4091]

Oh heck no, it's far too neat! Simple and beautiful like you. Sweet of you to share. As a maritime artist, I know how you feel about the blue paint. Never thought of using softboxes to paint by--what does that do? SWEET to invite your fans. You have nothing to be afraid of beautiful spirit!

[@indigobinka5833]

Hiii lena , so for the past two months I stopped creating art and was going through a really shitty time , I'm so glad to be back to you and draw while watching ur videos ,love you loads ❤

[@AnnaAragones]

My work colleague and I are huge fans of your work, and we're dying for a bullet journal video because we are starting in that amazing and creative world. It would be such an inspiration. Thank you for your art we are blessed.

[@rossbikoart6200]

yes you're back!!!!! I love your new studio, I hope I could have a space like that in the future :) can't wait to see more of your work!!

[@LenaDanya]

thanks for watching ^_^ ♥

[@artworksamiral]

Hey Lena, so happy you're back 💚and I really hope you'll feel very comfortable soon in your new place

[@VonGreen]

I relate so much to that! I recently moved from a house where I finally was capable to spend a whole year and despite of the fact that I have prepared myself for that very well, that's still breaks the flow of creativety so badly. From the beggining of 2016 until the middle of the same year I had moved 4 time, for reasons that goes from poor conditions of the houses to extremely dangerous life threats due to the recen endemic growth of violence here in Rio de Janeiro. All that just messes so much with our routine, and at least for me the routine is so importat for keeping a good flow of creativety.

[@azuljc2306]

you have always inspired me but this aesthetic it's sooooo meeee, i have never feel so identified with anything in the world, the plants, the green, the flowers, the wood tables, some things in black. I LOVE​ IT :]

[@ianelevera3702]

You're a wonderful inspiration Lena! I feel proud that you will have an art exhibit! ❤ You deserve it!

[@joshvan2923]

Does every artist have a cat

[@enlosmargenes]

*sturggling to hide cat* no, that's ridiculous

[@mr.pizzamarlon]

Excalibur I have a cute doggie acts like a cat because she hates water hahaha maybe I have an upgraded cat.

[@mr.pizzamarlon]

Don't drink the thinner again.

[@KremenaPetkova]

YES! :D

[@dianeo]

Haha. Seems that way. I have cats AND dogs.

[@teaddict-]

I relate 100% to the moving thing. Whenever I move (I've moved over 10 times in the last decade, I'm pretty much over the whole moving thing now ahaha!) I'm completely thrown in everything I do and it takes a lot of time for me to re-assemble the pieces where they need to go.

[@mimisabatino1375]

I've missed you! I totally understand moving! Getting ready myself to move for the 10th time, but this one long term and much more conducive to creativity! Look forward to seeing more Lena. Thank you. Also, follow Happy D, love her! Good luck in getting settled in!

[@jaybalagulan6825]

every studio tour of you all feels the same but is like I'm watching the evolution of how your studio grows into much better :) good for you lena

[@LittleSqueesh]

Wow you must be so happy with your new studio, it's beautiful! 😍 One day I hope I can have a similar space to be creative in too 🎨 :) Thanks for sharing! And congrats on your upcoming show, I wish I could be there to check it out!

[@valeryak.cohen.421]

your studio is beautiful & clean & calming✨ im very happy for you for the exhibition and very sorry for me that i dont live somewhere around to see you and you're inspiring art..thank you for sharing💚

[@molte6961]

I'm binge watching studio tours since I'm moving into a new place soon, so I can get some ideas for how to set it up! Thanks for the great video, lots of inspiration. Definitely going to put some nice plants into my space :D

[@GinaGammon]

Beautiful Studio, can't wait to see what you create in the new space! ❤️ Congrats on the solo show too, so exciting!

[@LenaDanya]

thank you Gina ♥ :]

[@YM-kg4cb]

Finally! I really missed you 😄 thank you for the update.

[@rajkandhari2745]

Ayy what's up fam. I'm glad your back. I love the studio

[@artbymb]

Solo show!!!! So exciting!!!! I need to get myself out there in galleries as well! Look forward to seeing more art from you! Good luck!

[@justbreathe857]

Lena!!! You're back!! 😍😍😍

[@madysonweaver1043]

Yay, you're back! I was cooking korokke when you updated and almost let the boiling water overflow, haha! And you look so much better now! I'm so glad things are getting better for you.

[@kathleengracebodegon4513]

i love your studio it's relaxing.. wish i could have my own too.. i think this will help me gets inspired and release stress. you are awesome Lena!! love you! 😍😍

[@eli1331]

Beautiful set up Lena!

[@helenhappyface]

ahh love your new studio! now I want some plants for my room!

[@AngieShawkyArt]

Yay! You look a ton happier than your last video, which means things are looking up for you. I am extremely happy to see that you have "rooted" yourself and refreshed your environment. I cant wait to see what amazing art you will do (now that you are sick of blue paint :o). Unfortunately, it is near impossible for me to go to your art show, but I will be there in spirit.❤❤

[@FoxFernArtistry]

It's always a pleasure to see your new art studios. *grins* Keep it up girl.

[@Jenifarr]

What a great announcement! Congrats on your solo show!

[@dianeo]

Lovely art room. So important to have a comfortable and inspiring space to create art. My art room is also a storage room and the visual chaos drives me nuts! The A/C is also essential here in Southwest Florida :) I couldn't do anything without that!

[@DavidJDevelopment]

Can't wait to see your new work in your new studio.

[@LenaDanya]

^_^

[@gillyslikejillysart7458]

Beautiful space to create! Thanks for sharing!

[@madelinesmith6948]

i really like all of the nart and the things on the wall in the art area looks great.

[@LenaDanya]

thank you!

[@BrittanyChenteale]

Yesss, I love studio tours. Yours looks so bright and welcoming. I'm in florida too, but about 2/3 hrs north of you. I might still try to come see your show though, that'd be very cool!

[@PeachyPavillion]

You studio looks lovely so far~! I can't wait to all the paintings that will cover up the walls. 😊

[@shayjayarts]

love your art studio and "habitat"😊love your artwork

[@lepetitesirenegrotte9789]

Ah, such a beautiful studio! I love all the green 💖 and omg your hair is so so so long and freakin gorgeous!

[@johnnywalkker1661]

Simple & Humble...... Thank you.....

[@anubhashrivastavaart5843]

I love your all video's!!! Keep uploading Thank you so much!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊💗💗💗💗

[@Gantorin]

Bradenton... My grandmother lived there when she was with us... Such a pretty place.

[@fionasimagination]

Glad you're so happy with your new space. It looks and feels lovely!

[@lenefredriksen]

I saw ud uploaded and immediately went to make coffee first:) loved your studio! Good luck with your exhibition! I live in Norway, so wont be able to see it, but wish I could!

[@sofiagasvianisf1117]

so beautifull studio!!!

[@shespeachy]

i dont remember the brand of my palette knife but i know that i prefer the style that's a little bit longer and has more of a rounded tip. i feel like it can hold more paint and quickens the color mixing process because it can also scrap the paint better if that makes sense.

[@artbycheyenne]

Wow, I don't think I've ever been able to relate to someone quite so much. I'm definitely like a plant, too. I need a healthy root system and lots of water. Lol! Beautiful video as always

[@e.m4274]

Hi Lena! You're one of my favourite artists! You have inspired me a lot 💙 Have a good one

[@LenaDanya]

thank you love ♥♥♥

[@ericagardens1234]

Wow amazing artwork!

[@riteasrain]

I know exactly what you mean about being thrown off kilter when moving. I haven't moved in a while, but the same thing happens to me on trips away - I get homesick, miss my creative hideaway at home and need to go home and settle again and create.

[@surrealisa]

So funny, I can really relate to your nomad sentiment. I'm from Florida as well but I've been living in Spain for the last two years and I feel like I can't really invest too much in my studio space. But it's pretty good for now. And ahh I miss Florida so much. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@madelynmorgan2999]

congrats on the solo exhibition!!!!!

[@moomooification]

Congratulations on your solo show! Definitely long time deserved.

[@SharayaReetz]

beautiful art studio!!

[@jerzeyzgirl03]

Love your new studio 😍💗💖

[@jenniferburrell9562]

Lena, you're amazing. Thank you for letting us into your world. I'm graduating in like 2 weeks (BA in Interdisciplinary Studies - which means I'm a painter, photographer and also interested in psychology, social issues and natural science. I'm pretty eclectic) and plan on traveling with my boyfriend for awhile, before we find "our place" and settle so I can open a studio and gallery. I LOVE traveling as well, but I know it's going to mean less painting time for me, although photography and inspiration will surely happen. It's kinda scary. I so enjoy being a wanderer/nomad, but it means less time in the studio. I'm hoping to somehow create a mini traveling studio, so I can still be creating somehow, but yeah. And I want to start an youtube channel as well. Ugh, It's so hard wanting to live both lives of traveler and creator. Anyway, I hope you are happy with your new place and space and find your center again. Sending lots of love and all the good inspiration/painting vibes your way!!

[@adriandatura]

Your studio in one word: *_A E S T H E T I C ♥_*

[@roxanne3859]

yay! love you, Lena!

[@gamingdrum648]

Am huge fan and i really love your paintings 👌👏

[@cassy610]

Stability is important.... But so is avoiding stagnation.... balance... Love your videos Lena....

[@rafk1048]

Seeing you again felt good, I missed you! We'll be by your side, patient, setting roots and growing leaves with you. ♥

[@LaurenMakai]

Your studio looks lovely ! 😊🎨

[@melhaniexoxo5650]

Lena, I love your studio it looks so nice, clean and organized I'm glad you found your new space for now 😊.What brand is your easel? I'm searching for one to buy and I'd like to check yours out cutie 🌺 thank you I love u!!💗🎨

[@nicola.p]

I have one of those easels. I sawed the top of the big pole off so I could raise it without hitting the ceiling.

[@davidaaronartist]

blue and green i am for sure are your fav colors , cause i find even all around the videos

[@chinarapiriyeva]

Um so maybe I just missed all the comments saying this but OMG CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SOLO EXHIBITION!!!!!! That's insane! I'm up in Canada but mark my words I will find a way to teleport to Florida if I have to!! xD Love your work, and your awesome studio, oh and I wish you infinite sunshine my fellow plant person!

[@Weird-Girl]

Lena! :D I will definitely try to make it to your show. My grandmother recently moved to Florida so I might be able to go :)

[@saroshn6325]

YESSSSSSS I live for these

[@LenaDanya]

[@marcusmariemoylan]

[@cathansen5171]

[@LenaDanya]

[@HeatherCashArt]

Cali is so amazing ❤️

[@lyly-wv3gw]

You are the best artists that I really like so nice your studio

[@SaraMakesArt]

Good luck on your show.

[@arfpmbd]

woooow. love your studio

[@kaylajohnson3314]

This is so inspirational. I'm moving in two weeks and for the first time I'll have space for a studio! #studiogoals

[@Grace-vg6ft]

I love your art studio the bits of nature really bring in character.. I was wondering what surface you use to paint on and what you would recommend for oil painting that wanted to be framed after finished??

[@hamitsayamethyst8028]

I see you from Mexico, I do not know how bad it is to confess that, but I think you're really spectacular. I sincerely admire you. ♥️

[@gunnarbeck225]

The palette knife are the bob Ross #5 and #10 and Amazon they have a 5 pack that are really great too

[@humanyyy7868]

hi Lena, you are really helping people with your videos. i love art since young age. i have just started to oil paint and bought canvas from stores. i have a question, as you know canvas has to be stretched on bars when you paint, i want to know if you have to make different size paintings, how do you put canvas on those bars according to size you want. i cannot afford to buy different size stretcher bars but i want to paint different sizes paintings. are there any adjustable stretcher bars available? if someone want to put canvas of different sizes on them and then remove when done and put new canvas for new painting. i am waiting to hear back from you. thank you.

[@debmalyanandy6711]

Great studio! Btw, just curious if the palette glass scrapes that you stored can be used somehow, or you just stored them? :)

[@sketchgirl1428]

Ive never encountered a more perfect youtube channel

[@sophie3303]

I love love love your videoooos. And a question: where is your easel from?

[@lostintime3297]

*_Beautiful studio_*

[@willdixon9525]

Great content. Watching… Great show today. Thanks for sharing your video

[@krystleceasar3995]

beautiful space

[@RockoryonOrion]

So much love for you

[@cherigreen4471]

Love your studio! I'm messy, do you use drop cloths under your easel for paint splatters?

[@hannastreng4364]

I love your new studio, it looks so good! And don't stress about posting, if you do it just because you feel like you have to it won't be as good and honest anyway 😊

[@sakshitanvi5545]

Everytime I listen her it feel like its my mirror reflection speaking out all that I have been dealing with

[@sushi-xk8lp]

It’s amazing it feels messy which what makes art an art but it feels clean and open ♥️♥️ luv from wolfy!

[@hamitsayamethyst8028]

I LOVE THIS GIRL IS AMAZING ♥️
