I can’t say it enough what an inspiration your are to me. Since I was very young I had the pressure that everything that I sketched or painted had to be good. That caused me to stop for many years, however I am now trying to be more relaxed and just enjoy the process. Thank you.😊
I paint very tightly, art school tried to make me loosen up but after school I realised I was an adult and could paint how I liked and I'm quiet successful with my style BUT I have a friend who has a gallery and every year she holds a competition and it always has a theme, this is my playtime, I break all my own rules with colour, texture and size. She laughs everytime I bring in my pieces because they keep getting bigger and bolder, she's now put a size limit to stop me growing. I really love the theme restriction which allows me to play but with a direction or jumping off point. This year was just "GREEN" What was I supposed to do with that, hardest and most fun ever. Glad I'm not the only one that plays.🥰
I love it when you mention other artists you like or follow; most of them have the quirky, whimsical style like yours. It's hard to find, but I LOVE it!!!!!
I love it when you go on and on about colour! It's like your in my head reading my thoughts 😄 I recently bought some derwent drawing pencils to complete my set and all I did the first two days was go, oh my this colour is beautiful, oh my, wauw look at this combination etcetc. I used distress ink, stencils and my oil pastels today on one page. So fun! Btw, I drool everytime I see your wooden trays with all the wonderful supplies. Heavenly..
I watched your studio tour, it was amazing. You are so enjoyable to watch. Your excitement is so endearing and encouraging. Thank you for being you and being such a good teacher.
You are an inspiration! I am coming back from a daunting, big break in my art- thank you for sharing your wonderful drawings, paintings and sketchbooks!💛
Artgraf makes a blue! square And, they also make a gigantic graphite putty ball that is fun to use. You can mold it in different shapes. It comes in a ceramic jar. Jackson's carries it.
Can we get like a 2 hour video of you just flipping through all of your sketchbooks? Haha. 😆 Your work has always been captivating, but lately it's been next level. I just want to jump into them and discover all the marks and colors. See what you see. Live in those little house. Walk on those docks. The fact that you're able to take these "ordinary" scenes and turn them into these mini wonderlands blows my mind. 🤯
Well goodness Michael - that means a lot coming from such a talented artist as yourself! And a 2 hour video of me flipping through my sketchbooks would be quite easy for me to do 😂
Gosh - your landscapes are just so captivating. I love how you layer colour when painting the lake. The first of two paintings in your sketchbook (with the pop of yellow and the colourful trees) drew me right in. 😍
Look forward to your videos on Friday. Like the way you play with colors. Interesting pieces. You have gone very abstract and very interesting way of painting landscape. Some I liked. Some were very abstract for me. But I can certainly see your enthusiasm for abstract painting. Looking forward to how you evolve with attraction.
I’m a lapsed painter. I need to bring the play back into it. It should be fun. Art classes in school take it way too seriously, separating the”talented” from everyone else. Inks are gorgeous!
Loved the video and seeing the new supplies. Those look so fun to work with. Also loved seeing the paintings from the trip again. So many beautiful pieces
Dear Sandi, THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏 I watched your video for the first time today and WOW!!! You inspired me so much I took out all my art supplies and just drew and drew! I had some soft pastels and I agree with you - they are messy 😂😂 I just want to say a huge thank you and I agree that your wooden box with all the tubes of paint and pastels are to die for! You are inspiring me and literally colouring my world 🙏🙏
Love watching your videos! Makes me feel so much looser when I go to paint. Helps take the pressure off to see your process and I always learn so much about how I could play too. Thanks for all you do and all the time you put into pouring into others.
Wow…your video skills have really been growing…the filming and editing and creative shots make your videos really fun to watch and I can tell that you have gained skills over the past year +! I love your love of colour! I too just love colour…in fact I recently bought a book called “The Secret Lives of Colour” by Kassia St. Clair…it’s just a book that celebrates colour!
Another GREAT video Sandi! Loved the tour of your studio on JO’s website and your podcast with her was truly inspiring. You are so down to earth in your expressions of joy when it comes to color, painting, sketchbooks. Please keep sharing❣️
Congratulations! That's really cool! I'll check it out. I love love love artist's studio tours- that's my all time favorite videos! 😆lol I'm such a dork!
Love your work! Very inspirational to see your process. I've been struggling moving into abstracts and you're loose, free approach is so very refreshing.and motivational. Thanks for sharing your explorations.
I love your videos! 😍 I also discovered the Artgraf blocks a couple of months ago. You can just dip them into water and paint with the blocks. They give an amazing effect. Because the they dry during using them, you have a dry medium again with beautiful marks. But look out: they are really high pigmented if whet! And your hands get really dirty 😂
Dear Sandy another lovely video thank you ... the Artgraf Colours are so versatile (I got all of them now plus the white) you can mix a gazillion shades love them...
I love those square paint things you got. Beautiful colors! The sepia one is not sepia. That’s definitely the color of sanguine. I have sanguine ink for my fountain pen and I also have sanguine markers. It’s such a beautiful color for painting. I have really enjoyed this and your last video. Thank you, thank you for sharing!!
Such beautiful editing. It looks like you’ve found your “camera voice”. Hope your shoulder is doing better as well. Your sketch books are so strong. It looks like you’re figuring out what you want to say in you landscapes. You’re creating such a rich and varied visual vocabulary. 🙂
I've never seen the medium ArtGraf before & I think I might buy some. I think your art style is fascinating & progressing well. Love your abstracts (so much shape & colour) & owls.
I love this video so much. I had a question on that lady painting you were sharing… what kind of paint are you using for that? I’m loving the texture so much. Have a lovely day, Paula (a newer subscriber l, and I’m so glad to find you!)
Sandi 💕🙌🏻 I love your channel’s content so much. You inspire me to really go for it, and step outside my norm. You remind me that art isn’t about the end result, but the journey itself 💕 I need that reminder a lot because I’ve been a full time artist for quite a while now, and we can get stuck in our heads fixate on what peoples opinions “will be.” Who cares ?!? Right ! Well most of us do lol. Especially when we have come from a family that mean we’ll but are critical, and have this idea of what art can look like. I really appreciated your video on how to take criticism, you gave some really great perspective and I love that ! -Jessie
Watched your very helpful Acrylics course, hit up DickBlick for acrylics and a big pad of Stratmore mixed media paper, layered a thin, slightly watery coat of gesso on front and back... and the paper promptly curled and won't lay nicely on my easel... and I'm staring at my wavy blank paper, scratching my head because you make it look so easy... I'm definitely back at the I don't know what the heck I'm doing, so I might as well play stage.
Thicken up the layer of gesso. You can just do a thicker layer on the back and then as you paint on the front it will balance out. Often mine won’t lay nice until everything is dry with lots of paint
Wonderful share, thank you so much Sandi. You have got a new fan with me. May I ask you if you are taking classes and if you do them online? 💞 And how did you fall in love with acryl, when you said that initally you did not like to work with it? 🌺
Buying in sets vs buying individually is rough. I'm super cheap, so knowing it's $10-12 for a single color of something i want, but $60-90 for a full set of something (but i don't get to choose the colors) feels unfair (to my soul) lol
I have watched all your videos probably twice but cannot remember which ones you talk about the fixative you like the best for your neocolor in your sketchbook? I'd rather not have to use a piece of wax paper if I don't have to. I know I've seen it here somewhere, maybe I just need to watch them all again haha
love the way you flicked out that bug! reminded me i was cleaning in my day job once flicked a ball of spider web and it landed in a big jug of orange juice on a nearby table . Before i could get it out a maid carried the jug into the where the family were eating
I love your experimentation process. I can tell how over the years your “playfulness” has really enhanced your beautiful paintings. Keep up the good work. PS wondering if you are using a filter on this video because everything appears green to me. Hope it’s it my eyeballs! 👀
This is a really dumb question, probably. At minute 20:36, how did you achieve the texture in the paint? Is it heavy bodypaint, or did you embed some tissue in the paint?
I love your videos so much Sandi, and I listen to them on repeat when I'm working in my studio bc they are so relaxing....I hope you don't take this offensively, but I found the editing of this video to be really disorienting and unrelaxing with the way it switches between your testing of the artgrafs and flipping through your sketchbook. I find the videos where you do one full section at a time relaxing and enjoyable like you're talking with a friend, but this made me feel anxious or like I'm flipping back and forth between TV channels. Again, love your videos so please don't be upset by this but I did want to give my opinion on this because it feels a lot different from your previous videos ❤
Its amazing how you use oíl pastels. I would like to know how not to be so judgemental or how not to be so negativo about my own work, how do you deal with the dissatisfaction that sometimes comes when you experiment and do something...
WoW!!! Your paintings are phenomenal. You're really pushing them and I can't get over it. I can't watch this video enough. It's my favorite video so far. Although, every time you turn a page and only show us part of the page and go back, I'm yelling at you to show me!!! LOL. Can't wait to see more from you. My biggest inspiration
I like your video!! I like all the different art supplies you have. I really like the art graf!! What type of book is that you're using? I like that it's big.
those travel sketches are so fun! Ive got a little question thouh ... does the sketchbook where you were testing have really yellowish paper or is that a yellowish LUT over the video ?
@@sandihester Thanks for the reply :) ! those blocks are amazing on the go! p.s. the paintings on a super tectured surface near the end are the BOMB !!!
I have a general question not in response to your work, which you know I love, but just in general. When did the concept of "mark making" start to be a thing?
I don’t know. Do you mean a thing with me or just in general? I think some of us enjoy the actual mark making and shapes. That’s how we “see” and enjoy expressing ourselves. And as we grow as artist’s we see how important the marks are in art
I meant in general as a term, but I love how you have described it here. It seams to have become a term used by many TH-cam artists. FYI, I just returned home from a visit to The Art Institute of Chicago (blessed to live only 18 miles west of there) to see the Cezanne exhibit. I don't know for sure, but feel fairly confident that your work has been influenced by his. I have to go back again! It is only here until September!
You’re the sole reason I started painting and I cannot say thank you enough. It’s helped my mental health tremendously. Thank you thank you thank you.
That makes me so happy to hear ❤️
Yes. Same here
Did u start as a total beginner? I’m a beginner and I love hearing how others got started with painting!
i am so grateful for you living in this world and for every one of your videos!
I can’t say it enough what an inspiration your are to me. Since I was very young I had the pressure that everything that I sketched or painted had to be good. That caused me to stop for many years, however I am now trying to be more relaxed and just enjoy the process. Thank you.😊
So glad to hear that Marsha!
I paint very tightly, art school tried to make me loosen up but after school I realised I was an adult and could paint how I liked and I'm quiet successful with my style BUT I have a friend who has a gallery and every year she holds a competition and it always has a theme, this is my playtime, I break all my own rules with colour, texture and size. She laughs everytime I bring in my pieces because they keep getting bigger and bolder, she's now put a size limit to stop me growing. I really love the theme restriction which allows me to play but with a direction or jumping off point. This year was just "GREEN" What was I supposed to do with that, hardest and most fun ever. Glad I'm not the only one that plays.🥰
That’s a fun theme - Green!!! Love how she does that!
I love it when you mention other artists you like or follow; most of them have the quirky, whimsical style like yours. It's hard to find, but I LOVE it!!!!!
I agree that it’s hard to find them!
I hope you make a book of these sketches soon - those landscapes are really inspiring!
They are terrible lol
I love it when you go on and on about colour! It's like your in my head reading my thoughts 😄 I recently bought some derwent drawing pencils to complete my set and all I did the first two days was go, oh my this colour is beautiful, oh my, wauw look at this combination etcetc. I used distress ink, stencils and my oil pastels today on one page.

Thank you! Grady made that tray for me!
@@sandihester There's a new business for y'all! I'm sure Grady was just waiting for me to come up with another idea for him to do!
You're welcome Grady!
I love how free you are with your painting! Love the lake ones you showed at the end. I’m off to watch your studio tour now.😄
Thank you! Enjoy the studio tour!!!
I watched your studio tour, it was amazing. You are so enjoyable to watch. Your excitement is so endearing and encouraging. Thank you for being you and being such a good teacher.
Thank you for such encouraging words ❤️
I think you really embrace the idea of “brush mileage” and I love it! So fun to see you play, makes me value my time I experiment with products.
Yes 😂😂😂
You are an inspiration! I am coming back from a daunting, big break in my art- thank you for sharing your wonderful drawings, paintings and sketchbooks!💛
So glad this space could provide some inspo for you!!!
Artgraf makes a blue! square And, they also make a gigantic graphite putty ball that is fun to use. You can mold it in different shapes. It comes in a ceramic jar. Jackson's carries it.
Love the free stream of conscious thought. It's like hearing you think!😉

Hi Sandi - if those are the "Tailors Chalk", Artgraf does make a blue one, too. Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊
Yes, I found that out and I may get it but it’s a bright blue I think - I can get that using my inktense
Gosh - your landscapes are just so captivating. I love how you layer colour when painting the lake. The first of two paintings in your sketchbook (with the pop of yellow and the colourful trees) drew me right in. 😍
Thank you!

You are living my dream life. Thanks for showing me the way 😊!
Another amazing video! So glad I found your channel (and your acrylics class) Sandi! You inspire me to play and create! 😊
That makes me happy and THANK YOU for purchasing the class 🥰🥰🥰
Art graft are water soluble graphite. Lovely to use but they will reactivate when rewet, so might want to seal the marks you would make.
Those birds were awesome. I remember that previous sketchbook with your birds. So happy to see them along with all your art. Very inspiring Thank you!
Thank you Stacy!
I love your owls!!! And so many other of your paintings in this video. Just happy making.
The black and ochre make a lovely green
Loved the video and seeing the new supplies. Those look so fun to work with. Also loved seeing the paintings from the trip again. So many beautiful pieces
Thank you Sandra !
Dear Sandi,
THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏

Your videos are pure joy to watch and I get braver and braver in my own paintings. thank you!
Love to hear that!!!
So glad you've found the art graf blocks! Their primary set is awesome too if you end up liking the medium check them out
Good to know!!!
Love all your videos! I so look forward to you posting on Fridays 😁💗
🥰🥰🥰
Love watching your videos! Makes me feel so much looser when I go to paint. Helps take the pressure off to see your process and I always learn so much about how I could play too. Thanks for all you do and all the time you put into pouring into others.
Thank you Megan!
I believe they have primary colours in the Art Graf blocks.
They do - I just want a dirty blue 😂
Love the trees sketch at 13:36 and yay for purple!!
Thank you Gillian!!!!

I'm watching some of your older videos Sandi...you forget some of the medias you use...
I'm going to try out the ARTGRAFS...😊
Another GREAT video Sandi! Loved the tour of your studio on JO’s website and your podcast with her was truly inspiring. You are so down to earth in your expressions of joy when it comes to color, painting, sketchbooks. Please keep sharing❣️
Thank you so much!
I'm so happy when I see a new vedio, yaaaaay
I’m so glad 🥰
So funny just had to say I thought the same and bought those art graf materials a month ago, really nice to experiment with something different.
That is funny Mel! We like a lot of the same things for sure
A very productive trip. Love the ink blocks. Ty for sharing!
Thank you!

So beautiful Sandi. Love the one where you said you couldn't see outside. Are you planning a landscape class next? I hope so.
I don’t think the landscape class will be until the end or first of the year. It needs to cool down 😫
@@sandihester okay. Good point. Something to look forward later this year then. 😀
I really love the painting at 2:08
Such beautiful editing. It looks like you’ve found your “camera voice”. Hope your shoulder is doing better as well. Your sketch books are so strong. It looks like you’re figuring out what you want to say in you landscapes. You’re creating such a rich and varied visual vocabulary. 🙂
Thank you Heidi!
I have to learn to just play. Such a good video.
Thank you 🤗
Hi Tracy!!!! Loved this one! What color or number is the magenta luminance pencil you used for the sketch? Thank you in advance 😊
I'm so in love with your recent work!🥰
Thank you!!!

I also watched the studio tour which gave me ideas & introduced me to some new artists. Great stuff.
Thank you!
The Sarah Dyer boat drawing zoom was fun. The container ship was a hard one to do though.
I agree about the container ship! I skipped it 😂
I believe the Art Graf blocks are a form of graphite. Far from ink. But you're the expert. LOL
I love this video so much. I had a question on that lady painting you were sharing… what kind of paint are you using for that? I’m loving the texture so much. Have a lovely day, Paula (a newer subscriber l, and I’m so glad to find you!)

If I use an umbrella I tape it to the easel it's more sterdy and balance just use very strong tape hugs

@@sandihester Thanks!!! After years of pastels, it’s so exciting to be a total beginner at something new.
@@sandihester Oh wow! Going heavier does flatten it. Thanks! Can I put you on speed dial for all my questions? 😁
Does the acrylic in the small pots kept wet by putting a lid on when you dont use the,m?
Do you know about Jelli paints?
Yes, they stay wet with the lid on
Wonderful share, thank you so much Sandi. You have got a new fan with me.
May I ask you if you are taking classes and if you do them online? 💞
And how did you fall in love with acryl, when you said that initally you did not like to work with it? 🌺
I’m sure you found out by now, Sandy, but there’s actually 12 colours in the sat and they have a pink yellow and a blue as Wellers other colours
Buying in sets vs buying individually is rough. I'm super cheap, so knowing it's $10-12 for a single color of something i want, but $60-90 for a full set of something (but i don't get to choose the colors) feels unfair (to my soul) lol

When you were said you were in the shade of the bushes, I got the giggles, because all I could think of was Monty Python's shrubberies!
