[@angel-cm3vr]

I love this, Lena! You're my favorite KZbinr btw

[@LenaDanya]

aw thanks so much! ♥

[@angel-cm3vr]

Don't be! I'm sure it looked lovely

[@charlespeterson4438]

Hello Lena. I enjoy following your charming and lively channel. This video is especially interesting. You've. created a really effective underpainting and the wonderful thing about oils is how one can build up layers of paint subsequently so that the colours become richer and subtler. Your finished paintings have a special character; lively, vibrant and sensual. Watching you on KZbin is a treat.

[@Polecat54941]

Must be a real asset having such an amazing model 24/7 for free!

[@Amyofthenorthwoods]

I love this real time video. I started watching your videos in 2013 and I had the courage to start painting again. Thank you so much for the wonderful works of art and videos you share. I learn so much from them.

[@dream.fiiend]

you're amazing Lena! I love the print "barriers" I had ordered from you. I thought it was really nice of you to include a little gift with it. as well as the heart felt note, it made me feel really special. c:

[@LenaDanya]

thanks so much! I'm really glad you like your print :] and I appreciate your support in my art very much!

[@hattiedunton8555]

i cannot be the only person worrying she'll drop paint on the screen

[@osamarafi6774]

it was so satisfying seeing all those colors being mixed up on the palette.You are just awesome!!

[@kayaeki]

You and your oil paintings are so beautiful! Thank you for uploading real time, I learned a lot

[@GirlyGirly5502]

Hey Lena! I just wanted to tell you how much I loved your videos! I started teaching myself how to paint about 2 years ago, and in the last year I started using youtube to help me learn better techniques and understand color mixing and other helpful things. I came across your videos while searching how to paint skin tones, in your extremely helpful skin-tone mixing tutorial. You have no idea how much that video helped me. Ever since then I have kept up with your videos. Your time-lapse videos are some of my favorites. Even those have helped me to understand painting techniques better, even though I use acrylic instead of oil. Anyway, you have inspired me so much that I have started to film myself painting and will post my own time-lapse videos of what I paint. Just wanted to let you know how much you have inspired me and what an impact you have had on my development as a painter. Keep up the amazing work! I always love watching your videos!

[@thepetitewanderer]

I love that I have been able to see you grow as an artist throughout the years.

[@VitalGuardsCVS]

Lena your my inspiration and art role model!! Please take care and may the mixing be with you!!

[@Onafee1849]

that was such an interesting video, lena :) loved to get a close up / behind the scenes (whatever you might call it :D) of one of your amazing paintings!

[@LenaDanya]

thanks so much! glad you enjoyed♡

[@Heytheresaan]

You make it look so easy painting withoth drawing it first... i cant that and even less when I paint with oil! Its really hard, you are amazing

[@kieoniilansdown7827]

[@PeachyPavillion]

Love all those greens and blues on that palette~! 😄

[@NikNakz]

i love the sound the brush makes

[@peanutbuttercourt]

I wanted to see this so badly but didn't have money for the videos your weren't making on KZbin. You don't understand how much this helps me

[@LenaDanya]

aw I'm glad it is helpful! thanks so much for watching :]

[@IvyLilyCreative]

I'm glad to see someone who thinks it's ok to use a grid. I usually use a grid to get proportions right. I just draw the grid onto my sketch paper and then transfer the finished sketch onto canvas etc. But your way of drawing the grid onto canvas eliminates that extra stage.

[@Ztrigg]

Thank you so much for posting this Lena. It's pretty much a master class for me in a way that it confirms I have a similar mind set when painting.

[@catllionare]

loved it, but don't be too hard on yourself, we know it's a process. hugs, Viviane.

[@raquelmoraes6113]

Your process is amazing! I loved how you showed us how you choose your colors :) I've been learning oils by myself for a while now and your videos are a great resource and inspiration!

[@kawaiistop9678]

I love your real time video painting!

[@LenaDanya]

yay!

[@LauraPerlitz]

You make me want to paint with oil on bigger canvases, too! You are such an inspiration!

[@ericlindal8008]

Love ❤️ your paintings

[@charlenedenise7980]

Have you ever made a video on how your draw the grids on your canvas? I'd love to see that process. I'm just starting to use grids.

[@SkyeArtist]

Painting a basic grid on the canvas with a fine brush, plastic ruler, and thinned paint is a good way to go

[@naphtaliministries]

How do you determine the measurement of the grid to the photo? I am also a beginner...

[@Fiveash-Art]

meh .. skip all that shit ... just get a mini LED projector and do your drawing with that. They've got great ones now that are really inexpensive.

[@neetagupta3830]

you are a excellent artist

[@baljeetdham]

Wow so nice of you for nice tutorial. Thanks

[@mybrightcolours1]

this was really fun to watch while painting!

[@norahpinto8417]

Thank you so much for sharing your art with us! I decided to begin painting oil after watching your videos, they are all well explained and they are helping me a lot! And you are so beautiful! Keep up with this amazing work. Fernanda, from Brazil :)

[@eveeichner3627]

Beautiful work! Enjoyed viewing this video. I have been mostly using watercolor, charcoal and a bit of pastel. I just might give oils a try. Thanks!

[@SkyeArtist]

Go for it - once you try oils you'll always to do more with them they're so versatile :)

Your art is so beautiful I wish I understood oil painting better and I wish I had your skill set

[@tiffanyj2902]

[@SkyeArtist]

Go for it! Once you try oil you'll never go back, can do so much more with it. Good luck :)

I think you should set your screen timeout settings on your laptop. This may help regarding frequently turning off your screen while working.

please tell us how long have u been practicing and did u study it or just a hobby ? and where can we start from ?

[@joyannemrls]

hello lena! have you tried different kinds of mediums to know yoyur personal preference to work with?how and when in your art journey did you know that oil painting is the one you like the most? love you! xo

[@sooriyaamani]

you are my true inspiration. I want to see more videos from you like this. love you #lena

[@Fiveash-Art]

It's adorable she says 'Pa thalo' blue 'Pa thalo' green ... ha ha .. love it

[@rozepyracantha5574]

Not sure if you'll see this, but I'm wondering if you are willing to have to separate cameras or even three, one for your computer or the image that you're emulating, one for your palette, and one for your canvas. I think holding the camera while you're going through the motions could be a bit distracting and it would be cleaner in presentation. This is a really cool thing that you do to help other artists so thank you.

[@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

Great demo!!!

[@azuljc2306]

♥ hi Lena, you are the best

[@mds525700]

lol you're one of the best artists in the world and you're just now finding out its pthalo and not pathalo.

[@CarolHeld]

Amazing work Lena. I like the way you pronounced the colours. As one Ukrainian to another, it all sounds great in the end. hahaha

[@OldManYoungMind]

I just found your channel and I am amazed at your talent. Your attention to detail is just awesome. I will be catching up for a little while. I Love the way you use a grid to keep the balance in perspective. I'm learning so much. BTW the word PHTHALO is correctly pronounced tha-lo so you are now saying it correct - not that you needed my help but just wanted to say you are saying it right. anyway keep going girl - luv ya

[@oumaimah4464]

[@LenaDanya]

[@AncyAlexander]

Loved it! Was there any specific reason why you chose not to do an underpainting for this piece?

[@evanc5676]

You are awesome

[@joshpowell3677]

Thank you for this video ❤️❤️

[@lizwidner1208]

so awesome!!!! Thank you for this! :)

[@TheMudcrabsDen]

Is there a reason why you chose to put such a large variety of colours on your palette? Does it do a better job of preserving the vibrant hues in your artworks than a smaller or limited range of colours would?

[@LenaDanya]

Although I use a lot of different kinds of one color, like blue or green, they often contain unique pigments which allow for much more variety in colors that could not be achieved just by mixing together a limited palette. Phthalos for instance, are transparent, so they can be used to tint other colors without altering it's tone too much
