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. ♥

Here's a tip!
I learned this in my art class and it really works.
Strare at a "shade of colour" for a while and then squint your eyes and you'll see where that exact colour is everywhere on the photo.
I hope I explained it right
Studio A you just made my life 10x easier
WHOAAAA i see it i think lol!
"Shape of color" mean?
Studio A do you mean a certain color shade? Like a color of paint you’ve already mixed?
Neat trick. I hate squinting. Not worth the wrinkles but sounds good
SO EDUCATIONAL!!! I love how you didnt edit out the strenuous activity of constantly mixing colors until you found the perfect color!! Shows your viewers even pros like you have to take their time as well!!
fr when i first tried oil painting it took me so long to mix colors and i felt so overwhelmed cause a face has sooooo many different shades and colors and id always see videos on youtube of artists making it seem like it only took them a minute to do a whole palette
Love the fact that you included both dark and light skin shades
Her paintings are so realistic that in the beginning I couldn’t tell the difference between the painting and the reference photo ❤️ So so talented!
I’ve been painting thru my depression and isolation and this video is the MOST HELPFUL thing I’ve discovered. Thank you thank you thank you
me in the beginning of the video: ok so that's the reference picture
oh.. no that's.. the painting
HAHAHAHA YESS
Really appreciate this video.
Thank you! :]
I love that you shared how you mixed the colors and the struggles you had to make it match. I seriously was feeling like I couldn’t get the skin tones right on my painting so I decided to walk away from it, then I found your video and now I’m inspired to try again. Thank you soooo much for your videos. Looking forward to your other instructions.
This is such an amazing video. Not only do you show what “a little” is in color mixing but you show that it is not a quick task. I appreciate the struggle you show in color matching. Thank you SO MUCH!
Fantastic tutorial! Now I'm getting the feel of mixing flesh tones for the first time as you share your reasoning as you mix colors. This is going to make my portraits from photos much more fun to paint and it will take the pressure off when trying to mix a perfect duplicate color. If I goof, now I know how to fix it. Wheeeee ! Thanks.
Oil paints intimidate me so much, like I don’t even know why. Your paintings are so beautiful and inspiring, and informative. One day I’ll be brave enough to try this myself, thanks to your videos.
This was the most helpful painting video I’ve seen. I’ve learned so much about creating a pallet, color matching, and mixing. Thank you so much!
This is the most helpful skin tones video I’ve seen!! I’ve been painting for years but have never painted people and I was so lost when I went to paint a portrait of my niece, which prompted me to research. This is so perfect for me, thank you!
You are inspiring me to be ready to learn to paint. I'll be going to a film school for a bit though. But yourself and bob ross will be the reason i end up painting.
Thank you so much Lena Danya you're one of the reason why I started my CZcams channel I learn so much from your videos (tutorials like this). Every time I feel tired of making art or drawing I will recall what you say in one of your video "live and breathe art, create art every single day"... :D Thanks again Lena you inspired me a lot more power to you.
You are such an amazing artist! Thanks for explaining everything so well
It really helps that you explained why you were mixing certain colors together. Thanks!
this video helps a lot ..it really looks like magic when you mixed it and painted it .. thank you so much for sharing this
.....a most humble tribute..as you are among the VERY FEW WHO PRESENT A VIDEO OF
THE BEAUTY IN VARIED SKIN TONES OF THESE CULTURES . could it be the greatest challenge to match GOD'S canvas creation ...THANK YOU LENA
I learned this from my art teacher when I took the class to learn how to paint. One day a women came in and taught us how to mix skin color, when I was painting a Christmas gift for my mom I forgot how to mix the colors so I went up to my teacher and asked how to do it again, she told me just to use Burnt Sienna and a lot of white , this will give you a good base then you just adjust it by mixing in other colors to get the tone you need. Since then I have never really changed the way I mix my skin color. Also a tip; I would suggest a paper or picture sleeve for your references, this way you can dab the paint on the sleeve and wipe it off with a paper towel to check the color without fear of getting it on your reference photo.
I’ve been following you ever since I bought my first oil set and I’m so grateful that I came across your CZcams page! ❤️
Your paintings are incredibly detailed. Keep up the good work!:)
An excellent introduction to the process of colour mixing for skin tones! As someone returning to portrait painting after quite some time, and reflecting on the lack of good tuition during five years at Art College in the 1970's and bad practices as a 'back drop artist ' for a theatre in the 80's, it is refreshing and of-course informative to be able to see your video on skin tone colour mixing and colour toning for the canvas! Many thanks --- I look forward to your future videos --- particularly any advice you like to share on backgrounds that reflect a mood for a portrait!
I’ve searched the web like crazy trying to find info like in this video! This is incredibly informative and I can’t thank you enough for making this. And as an after thought from someone who can’t stand ads..I would’ve put more ads in! You should be getting paid for this!
thank you!
I was looking for color mixing videos for days .this video was very helpful thank you so much
This is why I absolutely love portraiture especially in oils, there are an infinite variety of ways to create and experiment with colour, texture and style 😀
This was very comprehensive. One of the better explained tutorials. 🙏🏾
Thank you for this video!!!!!!! It’s always so helpful to see how ppl mix skin tones
Absolutely excellent tutorial . Step by step mixing . Learning also to prepare the colors first ..⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this! It helped me understand how to mix colors in a way that really makes sense. I look forward to utilizing some of these methods in my future paintings.
so glad to hear that!
I'll keep watching this video every time I'm stuck and need some tips. You're awesome!
Wow, great video! Thank you so much for taking the time to really go into detail & show us your process. So helpful, really appreciate it!
Wow! I have SO MUCH to learn about color mixing but, this video taught me a LOT!! I will definitely become a patreon member as soon as I am ready to start doing portraits! Thank you so much!!
Wow, I wish I can have more of this. Thanks so much for sharing this priceless lesson.
You're awesome Lena and a VERY GOOD TEACHER. THANK YOU!
This was a great video and way more in depth than I had expected. I like how it showed that there is no exact formula for mixing skin tones, while still fully demonstrating a method to mixing any skin tone one can come across. Great job. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you, Maria!
@@LenaDanya You're so welcome. Thank you for the video.
thank you for your incredibly detailed, I have leaned a lot from your videos
both ladies and both your portraits are so so so beautiful
this is so helpful you have no idea. thanks so much
I love watching your videos, have learned so much from you. This was very helpful as I want to paint realistic portraits and was having trouble with transitioning smoothly. Thank you for all you share with us.:)
Wow!A process that needs patience and knowledge of colour theory!I basically have no idea but this video helps a lot!Thanks Lena for your amazing, beautiful and inspiring channel!

Thank you for sharing this!!!!! I've definitely been rushing through the color mixing part of the painting process XD
Wonderful mix with colours,thanks a lot for this.
Thank you so much for helping and learning us how to create those colors I appreciate your help 🤗🤗☺️😇❤️
Outstanding work! and class! Thank you for sharing your expertise, and explaining your process, and your humbleness on when you have to adjust colors and don't get them right everytime, I have never used Gamblin paints, but they seem fluid and easy to use. I subscribed too:)
This to me is the most awaited video. It helped me a lot. Your videos are very inspiring. I started to paint in oils only because you were always there helping me out. Thank you for making such helpful and amazing videos♥️
So happy to hear :] thank yoU!
I'm a professional illustrator but i'm colourbind and use mainly digital as I can sample colour. Been comissioned to do an oil paiting though so muchly appreciate this thanks. People don't realise how lucky they are to be able to see colour accurately. I paint skin green if I have'nt been advised on what to mix.
I'm super beginner in oil color painting...this helped a LOT thank you so much😙
You are so helpful and a really great teacher. Thank you for this
Super realistic painting..
This video is so helpful, great job!!!
This is so helpful. Thank you for uploading this. ❤❤❤❤❤
This is a great tutorial Lena. Thank you so much !
I'm working on my first portrait in oils right now so I'm excited for this video!
Awesome! :] happy painting!
This is brilliant! Watching the tiny amounts of colours you choose is really interesting. I've got to try a more delicate touch when mixing! Thank you.
I love your way with skin tone ,thank you for this video 💙
Those paintings are so great wow thank you
Love this video, haven't done a portrait in so long i thought i would refresh, both portraits are gorgeous. I mix with a silicone tipped colour shaper which i could not do without
This was mesmerizing to watch. I have always enjoyed art, drawing, and painting but never really invested time into taking courses or learning the techniques. I have dabbled in different mediums here and there, and oil painting has so far been the most difficult to try to learn on my own. You did an excellent job explaining everything here, and I thought your end results were pretty spot-on. Great delivery; very informational and also very calming to watch. Thank you for sharing and for all the time you dedicated to this video :)
So beautiful!!
This video is so useful. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
Wow that was perfect, explained very well, thank you.
Then I add up a little bit off.... Lolzz
I really love the way you mix and arrange your colors, I guess you are my new mentor 🤗

Really intereasting approach to portrait painting: mixing all colors that are needed in advance! I think that can be a very useful advice! I think I'll try that out for my very first oil painting portrait I'll soon paint! 😄
This was extremely helpful,, thanks so much

XO's from Melbourne AU.
