This is my first time seeing her and I was so shocked when I saw her shoulders omo-
haha thank you! 😎
Wow~ I didn't expect you'd reply on my comment ♡ by the way I like your skills on painting. Me, I'm just starting to paint so- yeah, thank you for noticing me♥
BRUH same lol I wish I had shoulders like that
Thank you on the reply ....you are a gift in these hard times I listen and watch your videos I struggle with stress and hearing you talk and paint helps me relieve that stress ...it matters. We all appreciate your time that you give us here on TH-cam.
Cinn Amon I’m so thankful I can bring light and moments of peace to your life. I’m so glad to hear this!! I appreciate you more.
Oh my GOD, you are good at what you do! 🤩🖌 You inspired me to paint my dog! 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
Aww. thanks Erin! I plan to have more dog tutorials too!
Well first, thanks for the review of the paints you use and the Benecci brushes, but more importantly, thank you for being a voice for those that are struggling with anxiety and its many causes. Since Covid struck our planet, even the most collected of people have endured stress. But from this first video, I think you are reaching out to those that are struggling at a much deeper level and from a more difficult place. Art is such an incredible outlet for emotions. I hadn't a clue just how cathartic art could be when I started four years ago. I just had to thank you for saying that you can work through your anxieties and other emotional issues through painting things you love. God bless. xxx
Linda, you are absolutely welcome. I don't know about you, but I better understand my emotions and this crazy world using art. It's how my brain works - through color! And also, I've seen such beauty come from my pain and struggles. These experiences hold so many awesome lessons that I try to capture in paint to hold onto for the next storm, haha. Sending hugs! ❤️
@@laurenelizabethanimalart3215, hearing that you are finding your way through some really difficult times through your beautiful and colorful art just made my day! We all have to hunker down for life’s storms and I can think of no better way than by doing it one colorful paint stroke at a time! May there be less storms and more sunny times ahead! Hugs back at ya!
@@TrueLoveX1027 Welp, by the looks of it, I think more storms are ahead, but you know what, that's ok! I'm currently learning/painting through this lesson of rest in the storm. Trusting that beautiful growth and breakthroughs come by walking through the storm, not from it. Anyway, that's my little rant, many thanks Linda. God bless!
@@laurenelizabethanimalart3215 It's obvious that you have seen many storms and for that I'm so terribly sorry. BUT, it also seems that through these really difficult times, you've also found a safe place both in your incredible and inspiring art (it just makes me so happy!) and in God, too! Such a winning combination and your are absolutely an inspiring person. If there are more storms ahead, it is only because God hasn't fully honed you and it seems obvious to me that he has great plans for you. Look what you've already done on your TH-cam channel! I'm gonna go and paint me some sunshine! Thanks for inspiring me. Hugs and God Bless!
Lauren your work is amazing. I'm fairly new to acrylic painting, and I hope to expand my creativity and skills. I would love to paint like you! What an inspiration. Thank you!!!
Cheryl thank you so much. I love helping beginners because I use to be one! You are in the right place!! Hope I can serve you.

I am a beginner... And I hope one day I can paint like you .🎨
I'm learning so much with you 💜
I feel like we all have to start somewhere right!? You can do anything with an ounce of hope!
Your work is amazing
Thank you 🙏
Damn hell... I searched to know more of brushes cause I'm just a beginner. But wow. Your body👏👏. I wish I were hardworking enough to get such muscles.
Hahah, I enjoy lifting! It's another passion of mine! - Lauren
Thank you for this helpful info, as a beginner, your video answered a lot of my questions

Greetings from Illinois! Your Welcome!
I got this Benicci kit 1 month ago and they have good quality for its price. I just started with acrylics, I am a bit lost but I am learning a lot with your videos, thank you!
Camilla Martins hello Camilla! Yes aren’t they so great for the price! And please feel free to email me if you need some help. I’d rather help you than you get frustrated and stop completely! It’s all a slow process
@@laurenelizabethanimalart3215 Thank you, it is much appreciated!!! Seriously! ❤️ God bless you!
Where did you find them? I’m looking on Amazon and cannot find them. I only find the 24 and 12 brush set.
@@yaretziolivares-ramos4848 Mine I got from Amazon but in the UK. Not sure if you live in the US
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01KHW5DDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_HR1B0CFKJ7PJ5ACN1VXE
They’re currently unavailable and I’m in uk too, it’s a shame because I’ve been looking for a good quality set and when I go to buy them they’re out of stock everywhere, even the official website, does anyone know if they’ve been discontinued
Please show your all painting
Dang girl you look like you're in good shape. Athletic and artsy 😃
Hahah. Thank you!
Amazing.....love your videos is it possible you could do a tutorial video on here for a horse I love horses and working on painting them.
Cinn Amon absolutely! I have an Australian Shepard dog tutorial coming up after next weeks cow. So after that I’ll do my very best to make a horse tutorial.
I just found your channel and enjoyed it so much. I am new to acrylics. What do you use to finish and preserve a finished piece?
Hello Terri, I'll send you links to what I use. I like gloss varnish or the matte varnish. You would just paint it right on once your canvas is completely dry. If you use the matte varnish, you would apply a coat of gloss, let that dry for a day, then apply the matte varnish.
Gloss: geni.us/Glossvarnish
Matte: geni.us/Mattevarnish
Thank you so much. Love your work 👍
New sub!!!
Hi Lauren. I'm new to painting (6 months or so). When I started I bought a load of brushes from Amazon, because I didn't know what I would need. I also bought a Benicci set. It turned out that I only need a few brushes in the smaller sizes as I paint on small canvasses ( 5 x 7, 8 x 8 and 8 x 10). As a total beginner, how do you know if a brush is working for you? I ask this because a lot of beginners will struggle with either their paint, their supports or their brushes, so how do you decide? Thanks for the videos, I appreciate them and your generosity of spirit! Take care!
I like your question John. I would say first of all, make sure you have brushes that a good quality, meaning they don't leave bristles in your paint or fall apart when you wash them, and secondly, are you're brushes helping you get the desired look you want. I like seeing some brush strokes in my artwork, I also like some areas being smooth and well blended. So I tend to gravitate towards just a handful of the same brushes that work well. You honestly don't know ALOT of brushes to create great paintings, just ones that help you paint the way you enjoy and appeals to you.
Thanks for your reply, Lauren. So it's basically a case of trial and error then until you find a brush that suits your painting style.
Is the masters touch watercolor acrylic paint toxic? (Bought it for my daughter) there's no info in the package.
Whats your workout routine. You look great!
Just found your channel...thanks for the brush recommendation...they are in my amazon cart! Would love to see a black panther tutorial maybe with a twist lol that's my favorite animal and I think it would be fitting seeing that we just lost chadwick boseman
Ashley since reading this a few days ago I've been on the hunt for reference photos! You are GENIUS! I haven't had much luck finding one that I have permission to use, so if you find one, I would be so grateful - rose@laurenelizabethfineart.com
@@laurenelizabethanimalart3215 I had no idea about permissions...how would I even know if you would have permission or not?
@@ashleycarnes6068 Yep you could be sued for using a photo you don't have permission to use. Now a days I'm SUPER cautious about this. You don't want to risk it. Ill look on PIxabay or find the photographer and get their permission.
@@laurenelizabethanimalart3215 I see...but do you need permission to do your take on a black panther? I guess I'm not sure what u had in mind...I was just thinking a regular panther maybe with elements of the ancestral plane in the background from the movie because its gorgeous and very colorful with the purples and blues🤷♀️
First of all...thank you so much for your time and sharing your gift!
I've a question about the brushes...where can I buy them? I'm from the Netherlands so travelling to the 🇺🇸 isn't possible at the moment. ❤ Sandra
Thank you so much! I actually just get it from amazon. Here's an amazon link: geni.us/bestbrushset
Thank you...I only found a set with paint and brushes. It's not expensive.
Can you make a video of how to paint on canvas for beginners with easy painting plss??? If you make a video plss also tell the names of the colours and what type of brushes and its number...
Hi Lauren, thanks for the great info in this video. As a beginner I found it very helpful. I do have a question for you though. Do you wet your brush before dipping into the paint? I am working my way through your giraffe tutorial & have found my paintwork looks very thin in patches, probably as I am continually dipping my brush into the water. If you have any words of wisdom then I'd appreciate it:) Thank you!
Great question. Yes. Whenever you feel the brush sticking to your canvas or pulling, that means it's time to wash out your brush and then pick up a small amount of paint. You never want to fill your brush with paint, keep it just a small amount for better control, especially when using the smaller brushed doing details. Does that answer your question?
الللهم صل و سلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله الطيبين الطاهرين وعجل فرجهم الشريفف💕
Where can I find paper like this?
You can order it online at Hobby Lobby!
Hey, so I saw several reviews on Amazon saying that the brushes were shedding badly right out of the package. Have you had any experiences like that with these brushes? I've gotten brushes before just to find out that they shed, and I'm sure that you can imagine that picking hair out of your painting is a pain.
Amelie, I now use Arteza brushes and Master's Touch brushes, no longer Benecii brand and I LOVE these brushes. Of these brushes only once have I had some shedding and after a few washes it never happened again. It was actually a Master's touch blender brush. I've been using these brand of brushes for over a year now STILL the same pack. Hope this helps!
i want to buy my bestfriend good paintbrushes and paint! i think shes a beginner since she started a few months ago.
That’s so nice of you! Try anything masters touch brand! I definitely recommend them.
can I paint acrylic on sketchpad?
if it's mixed media yes, just tape it down. A regular drawing sketchpad may not be able to manage the paint and water.
off topic but great phisipue. and the little clips are cutr
Thank you. 😊
I'm pretty sure you can get hair off of many animals without killing them seriously it's the only thing I did not like about this video
