Lena Danya shares the timelapse of her oil painting “Solace,” a portrait with realistic water which took over 2 years to finally finish.

Lena Danya also sells her work and posts oil painting timelapses, painting lessons and tutorials, drawings, art tips, and occasionally artist vlogs.

Lena’s process takes time as she sets aside her work until she feels especially inspired by the beauty of nature. She also used very small paint brushes to control every minute detail of this 40×30 painting, from the subject’s clothing to the endless shades of sunlight in the water.
