ART STUDIO TOUR 2019 | Where I work

[@SV-pv6km]

Basically Lena's slow transformation into Poison Ivy!

[@LenaDanya]

if that's what ends up happening... I'm more than ok with that :D

[@bunnyfourseven]

What a dreamy studio! Plants, paintings, and art supplies together is just an amazing look. 💕

[@LenaDanya]

buriedberry thank you!

[@quinetteadaobiartsofanapos9756]

Absolutely gorgeous ✨💯

[@JustinDeMattico]

I love all your plants!! I’m obsessed with plants as well, would you be willing to do a video on how your propagated your African Violets?? We have plants that belong to my great grandmother and we’d love to propagate them as well.

[@LenaDanya]

Justin DeMattico made a fresh cut on an African violet leaf, diagonally with the flesh part pointing upwards (leaving at least 1.5 inchesof stem on the leaf) dipped the cut part into rooting hormone and then into some soil + watered. I put a little sandwich bag over the leaf to give it some humidity while it forms roots and babies should sprout in 1-3 months! Each leaf (if they’re big enough) can produce multiple babies. Once they’re large enough I separated them into their own pots and they flower after about 10 months to a year

[@JustinDeMattico]

Lena Danya omg thank you so much!! Can’t wait to try it out!!

[@Thalai-1]

Big fan of ur painting

[@shubhamdogra3]

I was eagerly waiting for this video! Watched the previous video 2 years ago. I subscribed to your channel in 2016 and I feel happy to tell you that you were the one who inspired me to start my own channel ❤️ I always love your work 🙌

[@LenaDanya]

that's so awesome! thank you :]

[@shubhamdogra3]

[@payalkarmakar9393]

I'm from India. And your art studio is awesome beautiful... Very clean.. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💓

[@sarahwookey-durst3528]

Hi, Lena! Thank you for that little tour. You gave me some great ideas. I love what you did with your place. Thanks again!

[@jerrysonett1937]

My studio is in my messy small bedroom.... but don’t worry, I added two tiny succulent plants to make it more aesthetically pleasing 😌

[@LenaDanya]

A couple plants go a long way :]

[@danyart2553]

Same

[@laaberxim1091]

I don’t even have a studio- All I need is my desk, my trillion pencils, my copics and a bunch more stuff but my dream is to have my own studio. But being honest maybe I don’t need my own studio because I just draw not paint so I don’t need much space and not much things but I hate that my desk is tiny

[@nannamariafrandsen6517]

You're so inspiring in everything you do. I absolutely adore your calm and creative personality. Keep up the good work!

[@LenaDanya]

thank you so much!

[@beelizard]

I’m such a fan of yours. Your light and positivity shine through your videos and I wanted to thank you for your dedication to your channel and your art! I’m currently using your videos to help me out if an extended lapse in painting... love that you’re obsessed with your cat as well. I have an orange tabby, “Connor” who is my four legged fury soul mate for sure!!! Can’t wait for your next vid!

[@LenaDanya]

Adrian Garcia thank you so much ☺️ I hope you get to paint again soon! Pls give Connor extra pets for me ❤️

[@beelizard]

Thank YOU.. and will do on the painting and petting! Haha ✌🏾❤️

[@charmedprince]

That storage closet would make me so happy! I used to raid my mother's office when I was little and i would go inside their storeroom and play with the different-colored clips and paper and whatnot. I should have known then that I'd grow up years later and become a designer!!!

[@PratyushNayak]

I, as an interior designer, couldn't design that space any better! ❤️ Just as beautiful as it was 2 years ago (a little greener though) 😅

[@LenaDanya]

ah whaaat?! that's a huge compliment, thank you!!

[@christistheroc]

Got my 'Immersion' print and am in Love with it! So beautiful ♡. Can you do a more I'm depth video on your plant collection, things you've learned about them and favorites please! Thank you for being so incredibly inspiring!

[@LenaDanya]

So happy to hear that, thank you! And yes I plan on making an updated plant tour soon :]

[@ginocolaccino5847]

Great video. I was wondering if you could do a video on cleaning, storage for paints and brushes and cleaners and mediums. And disposal for used thinners, oil paints and mediums. Thank you love watching you paint...

[@MoumitasV.L.O.G]

Ahhhh!! Waitings are over.. I'm also that kinda person who wants a giant board for daily planner.. tried to wright down on paper but after 2 to 3 days I never opened that again.. hopefully someday I'll buy that big board.. and... You are just ❤️ awesome..

[@LenaDanya]

MoumitaD arr it definitely helps! I could never follow a schedule long term until I finally got a giant dry erase board 😅

[@jaquelinehennecke1220]

My husband thinks I’ll turn into a plant as well since we moved into a bigger house in March my plant collection has grown by about 200%... and well our daughter picked up the love for plants as well...

[@TheRedGlasses]

Im a fee days away from graduation and ultimately freaking out about making a living out of my art (animation major) and I would love to see more about your tips for being an artist and supporting yourself. Its really terrifying right now and watching your videos is helping

[@quinetteadaobiartsofanapos9756]

So glad seeing this studio tour sweet friend. Glad to be Friends here 😘

[@Plantsandtoyhorses]

Love how you have styled the plants in your studio, integrating them into the design and sitting among your art stuff. I keep lots of plants in my home office, they are my therapy from the stresses in life. You have a really beautiful space and it seems to really inspire your creativity:)

[@trojanette8345]

WOW!! An artist's den super clean, neat, organized and not a spot on the floor :). Only a wishful parent could dream so big. Kudos to you for such showcasing such a wonderfully organized work-space.

[@dianeo]

Just a thought... you could go to Home Depot and pick up a garden trellis or lattice panel to hang on the wall and have the viney plants weave around that or just use it to hang more plants? Lovely, inspiring room for creating!

[@amandamoss9160]

Love your studio it has such a cozy looking atmosphere love how you how you have personalized it and it's so functional. Well done,!!!

[@chycammillionrednour6776]

LOVE IT!! Andrew Tischler has a tutorial on an amazing height adjustable palette made out of an old office chair base that I think might make your life easier. Keep on being awesome!!

[@excellaguionne6957]

OMG you have lots of plants

[@123Zanna123]

5:24 This messy...? :( Man. Every time someone shows their "mess" I feel like I live in a dumpster..

[@LenaDanya]

That particular shelf was messier than I prefer but don’t feel bad!!

[@Laineypaints]

yasss six years ago today I watched an art studio video of one lena danya that got me hooked on painting

[@dee6215]

you actually inspired me to get plants, now im proud mother of one pothos, one monstera deliciosa and one unknown plant

[@bobpfohl6268]

I believe you are a "Great Artest" because you obsess over details, don't ever stop that, as you get better handle over your art you will be able to throttle back in a calculated measured manner!

[@kristinebrousseau8626]

When i came across your channel " i wet my plants"😊, gorgeous studio, You are an exquisite artist!

[@berealrelentless6237]

Lena The Lovely! I'm psyched to see the green as It has always been an interest of mine. I'm a freak about trees, ha, I know ha, but that freakness got me into Bonsai's, which got me into making my own pots(or as I like to call them) vessels cause they are not always your typical "pot" shape. Plus vessel insinuates movement, which I'm constantly moving them around, but also moving in reference to growth. So from pots got me more into geology and have become a lover of rock formations and in turn brings me to texture and with your vids and lots of experimenting I have got into what I will say is mixed media(sculpted, painted, textured, sometimes planted creations, ha). lastly(I promise) with the Pothos getting longer, you could "ixnay" the fake over the door way and use the pothos, just a suggestion! B well, always!!!

[@TheSplatteredCanvas]

Love all the plants! They are so calming! I currently only have a cactus that I've had since 2007 and a few fake plants. Hoping to add more real plants soon! Great job! :)

[@lydiaedwards8083]

My favorite part is the plants , my room is very small but it’s also overtaken by over 20 plants and I love them they are my baby’s

[@RMHART]

I’m moving this week and can’t wait to decline out my near studio! Then I will be happier enough with it where I can do a studio tour 💪😀❤️

[@hails6753]

Omg never been early i love your channel so much!! Ive been struggling with my motivation to paint (water color) but your paintings really restore my faith in art😍😍❤ keep being you P.s i hoard plants too☺

I hope you are able to get through the motivation draught and get back to painting! thank you for your support :] and YAY plant hoarders unite!

Very Nice, your Art Room and decoration

[@mayceerafallo4855]

Good thing that the kitty sleeping near the sun does not burn

[@barbaraduncan3126]

That plant behind your easel is beautiful. An idea maybe, is to pick it up and add a shelf or two for it to trail over it might look cool. Also are you taking the plant trimmings or cuttings and letting it grow roots and planting them too? You can have triple those plants from this one since it loves you and loves the space it's in.

[@LenaDanya]

Barbara Duncan yes those are the rooted propagations I mentioned hung on the wall, I also have about 6 pots worth of propogated pothos and they just keep growing 😅

[@barbaraduncan3126]

@@LenaDanya I had a plant like that, I put it on top of a 4 ft tree stump I dragged home, the plant loved it and grew long and down the stump. When people came to my house they would ask how I got a tree to grow inside. It was a beautiful plant like yours.

I think all artists have a closet filled with more supplies somewhere 😂 I've got a utility rack shelf like that with ALL my arts & crafts supplies on it!

[@DrQuizzler]

Fun tour!! I wonder if a moss floor would work indoors in a room full of propagated plants. When you were showing the flowers in your closet, I thought of something else too. Have you ever done, or thought of doing, your own take on the old Waterhouse painting "My Sweet Rose", with your own new reference etc?

[@maisiedesouza6252]

At first it thought it was your indoor greenhouse but it wasn't...anyways keep it up...plants are your best friends

[@heoignacio]

Hi Lena this is really not about this subject sorry. I made three ratios for Galkyd and Solvent First Jar 2 parts solvent and 1 part Galkyd. Second Jar is 1 part Solvent and 1 part Galkyd. Third Jar is 2 parts Galkyd and 1 part Solvent, and individually stored in a glass jar. Is the ratios ok and also do you think that it will dry overtime in the glass because I’m going to be reserving it and letting it last very long in the jar. Thanks Lena and Beautiful Workspace.

[@creativemindalwaysacrylicp4358]

Your art studio is very nice

[@irlynda5836]

Agh, Your studio is beautiful and looks so much neater than mine 😭. I don’t have closet space in that room so everything is out in the open, on shelves in plastic totes. I string black drapes across all of them so I don’t have to look at “it” and to keep the reflection off my canvas as I paint. We are remodeling an oldish cabin near the house to be my studio. Art studio (350 sq ft) is much smaller than our house (1985 sq ft). But husband’s shop is 3890 sq ft. inside with awning of another 330 sq ft. He is spoiled.

[@LenaDanya]

irl Smith Art cabin studio sounds so amazing!! It’s hard to keep cozy when there’s not enough room I totally get that. I’m gradually expanding and eventually this space won’t be quite enough for me but I’m hoping to make it last as long as I can!
