- Playing with texture, color and depth in my work and boy oh boy do I learn a lot as I work through some projects. I can't wait to share them with you! I go from very loose to very tight (tight for me) in this body of work. The supplies I use in this video are listed below with links.

So many artists are afraid of color, but not Sandi! If you want to learn how to really use color, you have to totally immerse yourself, be generous with the medium, and be bold enough to balance bright hues against one another. Well done!
I totally agree Blick! Thank you ❤️
Sandi, you have truly transformed my world. I've been pursuing art in a more meaningful way over the last few years. After finding your channel recently it has been my biggest motivator and light in my tunnel. Thank you for being you and for all that you choose to share ❤️ you are such a light ✨️ you have provided positivity , inspiration , encouragement and wisdom to my art journey at just the right time, I am forever grateful
Well goodness- thank you for such a kind and encouraging comment ❤️
Today is the day I’m going to stop feeling weird that I too write “colour notes” since forever on my sketches, as a reference for later use! ! And the coloured paper for backgrounds is just too good of a thing! Thanks Sandi!
Oh, yes: and the way you usually separate your sketchbook pages with transparent paper to stop smudge, reminds me of the drawing pads from 40 years ago I had in primary school, where ALL pages had thin transparent paper between them. All! When my picture wasn’t of the smudgy type, I’d remove the thin sheet to use it as tracing paper in some other type work. Fun!
I discovered your channel about a month ago via Kriksis' video that was inspired by your soft pastel works. It motivated me in turn to bust out my soft pastels, make a mess, and just play. I really appreciate the way you convey the joy of playing with art materials, not being "too precious" with them, and simply following your creativity, wherever the sources may lead. Great reminders for artists and for life in general. Thanks Sandi!
Thank you so much!
That. Restaurant one is brilliant
Love when you yap! Blessings, Kevin - Australia.
Well, thank you Kevin!
I love love love that multiple owl sketchbook page. This is such an inspiring video!
Thank you Lisa!!!
You are a pro at painting animals...I think my favourite sketchbook painting so far is the one with all the animals. They were all super cute but the bat was adorable. Hope to see more in the future. Well done as usual..
Thank you Kath!!!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!
Great videos, beautiful art work!!! That house, the owls, all these faces and then you pulled out your animal scene?!!!!! I loved it ALL. Thank you so much for sharing!!! I hope you are feeling better!!😍
So glad you enjoyed it Trish!!!
Wow changing the colour up in drawing is so cute , you don't know how happy I am to see this tecnique.
That technique is soooo wonderful!!!
I LOVE this page in your sketchbook. I have to say the little squirrel is my favorite critter. but oh my, all the color, composition is great! intuitive painting.. you got it going!
I love your jungle pages! I love the the busy background! It’s your style ❤️
Construction paper! This is such a fun video!
Yes 🙌
here we go again.. making Friday more wonderful with Sandi..!!
Awe - thank you Marie!!!
Hi Sandi loving your portraits but your jungle scene is fantastic. I love it. You are so inspiring thank you x
Thank you Alison!!!!
The tiger lounging on the branch is amazing - so much character in so few strokes
LOVE the jungle. Perfect, perfect. Thx for sharing
So glad you liked it!
Thank you for a fun video 🎉! You set the path for all those who are afraid to walk out of their comfort zone. Play is so important and most of us need to follow our beloved Sandi Hester. 🥰
Thank you Christine!
great energy in your sketches. thanks for the inspiration
Thank you Dennis
Love your channel. Always super inspiring
Thank you Paula!
Watching while playing with an abstract portrait in my sketchbook. I checked out Sara Dyer… and still trying to figure out the style she and you are working in. You said your mom didn’t think a particular painting was in your usual style. I would love it if you did a “Sandi Hester 101” for those of us coming from different ways of painting… something like a blurb for an upcoming exhibition about your artistic vision and what you are chasing. I studied with Ardith Goodwin, and she was all about defining your signature style and vision of beautiful, but every artist is different in how they think about their work and whether they have defined a style. Whatever it is, your work keeps me coming back for more.
Thank you! I feel like I talk about my style over lots of videos. It kind of seeps in 😂
@@sandihester I’ve watched all your videos. I’m intrigued.
@@labcat647 thank you!!!
Another greatly anticipated video!! Don't you just LOVE Sarah Dyer's Patreon??? A MUST for sure!!! Thank you for sharing so many of your recent works, Sandi!!! Happy Creating!!!
Yes - she does a great job with it!
"Bumpity" I love it and this word is now going into my vocabulary. Thank you. Love you. Hugs. P.S. Your hair is AMAZING! So is your art.
😂 use it 🙌
In the past week I have binge watched all of your videos. You are so wonderful, talented, and inspiring! Thank you!
Wow!!! Welcome and thank you ❤️
You saved the best(imo) for the last. I would buy a copy of your animal composition. I love Love LOVE it!!! OMG!!
Thank you Robin!!
I LOVE those animal pages!!! Such fun. That is on my to-do list for sure! Thanks for another great video, Sandi!
So glad you liked it Christine!!!
Thank you Sandi love to see your happy sketches. Love the animal spread!
Thank you Sandi for more inspiration to do daily sketchbook work. Everything does not need to be display ready!!😊
The “non display ready” is how we get to the “display ready”
Love the animal page! The tiger and the brown-red bear and the iguana are all so different but INCREDIBLE!!!
Thank you friend!!! It was such a fun project!!!
I really LOVE all of the detail in your last sketch of all of the animals! Your skills as an artist really SHINE in that project! Thank you for sharing Sandi!
Thank you ❤️
This was so incredibly inspiring Sandi! Catch me rushing to buy oil pastels and watercolours right away. You're amazing, thank you for everything you share with us!
Awe - thank you ❤️
Oo, that tiger is so great !!!
I like him too!
Was hoo! I finally got my sketching journal AND the tempera stick paints! Yaaaassss! Today is THE day I let loooossseee! Thank you Sandi! Gotta go get started.🥰
Awesome 🤗🤗🤗
I just love all your videos. Your art is so happy making, and your instruction is so helpful and inspiring. I don’t watch the videos in order, sometimes I need a certain video at the right time, and sometimes I watch some more than once as. Is the case with this one, but I love them all. Thank your for posting all of these fantastic videos for public consumption.
Love the sarah dyer challenge stuff you did! And brilliant on taping the two color Paper together!!!! Those were fab! I always feel compelled to stop in the middle of the video and tell you what is so exciting! Oh and I have that red clock too!! Ok now to finish watching! Go Sandi go!
That doesn’t surprise me that you have the red clock! Does yours still work because mine didn’t work for very long 😞
Terrific work Sandi - the portraits are hilarious and endearing. I will give this a try. The two page sketch of animals in trees is just excellent. Blown away with your versatility!
Thank you ❤️
I absolutely LOVE seeing what you create in your sketchbooks ❤️ The last artwork you shared, of all the animals, would make a gorgeous art print!
Everything you showed today, really helped to refill my well of inspiration 🙌 Thank you!
I hope you have a great week, Sandi!
Soooo glad to hear it refilled the well 🤗
I love the animal painting. So glad you didn't fold it, it would make awesome children's wall paper! Lov it!
So inspiring, so freeing, so natural. Thank you, Sandi. X
I love the jungle page with all the animals!! It's awesome.
Thank you!!
a week behind in my viewing so just now looking at this one. I loved your final Sarah Dyer project. The layers of colours, texture and animals is incredible.!
Sandi I loved that tiger lounging over the limb!
He’s my fave too!
The animals sketchbook page you did is EXQUISITE! I love the figure drawing, too.
Thank you Corinna!
I’ve been inspired to play in my A3 sketchbook because of you! They are all delicious.
Awesome Julie!
OMG what???!! Everything you did with Sarah Dyer Patreon is absolutely charming and amazing! You are so inspiring with all your exploration and experimentation!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awe - thank you Maggie!!!!
Awesome video Sandi. I loved when you connected the two different color papers together. So fun and bright
Thank you Sandra!!!

Thank you Carol!
I find such inspiration in your videos. I find myself rushing to my studio even before I’m done watching. Thank you!
That makes me happy to hear Linda!!!
Hi Wendy, I really liked your animals, they look so good. You must've had fun doing that class. Oh, and l really, really like the one you did with the man on the blue color paper. His expression was great. This was a nice video, thanks. Have a great weekend and week to come. 😸
Thank you!
I'm in love with your animal drawings!! Wow! They're fabulous!!!
Thank you Cyndi!!!
HOOT HOOT lol
thank you Sandi! your art sharing is always such a pleasure
Sandi, I am so proud of your channel growing, which is so deserved. Over a year ago, I started sharing some of your videos on FB, as much as I could... because honestly, your videos bring such joy into my life and I wanted to share the love.. ; )
Thank you for noticing Marie and THANK YOU for sharing - I really really appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️
Love those oil pastels sketches. Very inspiring indeed. ❤
It definitely seems like the animals from the Patreon sessions “go together”, I guess bc the piece is cohesive and richly interwoven. It’s wonderful !!!
Great video Sandi
Thank you Kathleen 🥰
Sandi, I'm about half way thru this video and am already both challenged and inspired!! Thank you! Loved all the sketchbooks from your trip, etc. So grateful that you are sharing them with all of us! (Now back to the video!)
Awe - thank you so much Emmie!!!!
I think the Animal pages are fabulous. I loved that so much.❤ I also loved your drawings on the colored paper. Very inspiring. I just ordered some colored paper very inspirational video. Thank you.
Hi, i really love your work,. Changing the colour of the oil pastel line on a coloured background works so well. I found these figure and portraits captivating. They so beautifully observed. Oh, so much great work, i think I'll have to watch this video again!
Thank you Sue!
Hi Sandi, I find your work playful and joyful. I love that your work is colourful. Also, the fact that you did not go to art school gives me hope that there are different routes to becoming a professional artist. Thanks for sharing. Keep doing you.
Soooo many amazing artists didn’t go to art school!!!
Such nice work. I so like getting to see your figure drawings like these.
Awesome video as always! Loved everything from the colored pages to your beautiful and inspiring sketch books!💖🌟
Thank you Monica!
Love all your animals -- they look so alive in their whimsiness!
These are SO GOOD Sandi!! Loved this look at all of your artwork! Can't wait for your landscape class!! You know I'll be the first in line.
I do know that Michael!! Thank you for your constant encouragement friend!
OMG THE THUMBNAIL ALONEEEE 😍😍😍 perfect start in the studio ❤❤
Thank you 🤗
The last piece you showed in your journal was wild if I may use a pun. I really liked it. Thank you. Can't wait to see more on the larger jkurnals.
I love how loose you worked the figures in the challenge. I am inspired.
So glad it was inspiring!
Enjoyable as always. Love your way with color!
Thank you Rose!!!!
I loved everything you showed us! Your videos are so inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing your art so openly.
Thank you 🤗
Love the two pages with all the animals. They all look great!
Thank you 🤗
Amazing video Sandi! I just became one of Sarah's patrons this month because you mentioned her in a past video. Loving it so far! I will be checking out the Zoom replay. :)
Ohhh awesome Julie!
You are helping me learn how to play. Thanks.
Love your car sketches, Sandi! So inspiring!
Thank you!
Eeee! This was so packed with inspiration! Your animals are beautiful! I cannot WAIT to take your landscape class. 😊💚
Thank you Mich!!! I’m so excited about the landscape class!!!!
Love the colors too.
Thank you!
I was in Emma Carlisle’s Patreon for a while and she always talked about Sarah. After seeing the work you did in Sarah’s Patreon I might just check it out! Loved the spread with the owls and the other with the animals! Also loved the figurative and portrait work! Thanks for the inspiring video 🙏
I love both of their patreons - really inspiring!
I LOVE that animal painting!!!!!
I did love that animal spread, but I could see the "tightness" in the red panda. Still definitely you, but in your detailed mode. The tiger, chameleon, and the monkey next to the chameleon are my faves. I can just imagine that as some giant chair rail mural in your dining room. I am also hooked on those foldy-books. I started making them a couple of weeks ago and I cannot stop! 🤣
They’re addicting aren’t they!!!
Always love your sketches Sandi.
Thanks Gillian!!!
Hi, Sandi! Thanks for another great sharing. I love the big animal spread and the smaller lemur painting in your sketchbooks, and as always, I appreciate your willingness to try just about anything! Hope your allergies are better.
I will try just about anything won’t I 😂 - it’s fun and good to stretch yourself
If you ever make a print of the pages with the animals, then I would be really happy to buy one. ❤️🙏😍
Yes!! Very much this! I absolutely loved that large jungle spread with the animals in every which way. Soo good and so inspiring
Thank you Kristina!!!
@@sandihester please, I hope you do. It is beautiful and a great gift to give to my friend, who loves and rescues animals
I just love it
wow o wow! the animals are fantastic. (and inspiring!) definitely something to try. wish me luck...am going in...
Awesome! Have fun!
Oh I love your lines😍 definitely somehing to explore further
I so enjoy your art. So much fun and inspiring!! Thank you very much for sharing with all of us. If you need something that will not harm you and help your allergies, see if you can find some stinging nettle. It is a natural antihistamine. You can put it in a tea for or you can eat it cooked. It tastes similar to spinach when it's cooked. Blessings!!
I absolutely LOVED that animal page, especially the tiger. I always look forward to your videos, for the inspiration but also because I get to add some “Sandiisms” to my vocabulary. This weeks include furff, phif and scruffiti. Thanks Sandi!
Jane this cracked me up!!!! You’re the best!
I am so excited for your coming landscape class/course. I sure hope I’ll be able to take it! But even if I’m not, I’m excited that others will and that you will have created it!
Thank you Andrea!!!
Oh this is interesting because I've been watching another channel called Becky Cao and she goes to coffee houses and draws the people and then uses watercolor to paint it... but this reminds me of her drawings! I actually been inspired now by you both too go to places to draw people but up like your idea to time it! Thank you! Btw- love love love your art!!! I think my favorite is the one you glued together at the table!
I’m not familiar with Becky - I’ll have to check her out!
I just started watching Becky too. And "Hello! You Awesome Rogue!" (I remember your shoutouts from Rafi & Klee's channel...we all travel in a gigantic murmuration don't we?)
@@lightwavz yea!! That's so cool!! Hello to you! The art circle is not as big as I thought cuz I think we are all connected!!! Glad to meet you, you awesome Rouge!!!
I looooooved the jungle project. So much. I love your Tee bark..that tiger is lockable!, and I love the tiny toenails here and there. So much to see in that painting. It reminds me of what you said in an earlier video…’does your painting reward looking?’ It sure did! Thx for the inspiration!
LOVE that you noticed the tiny toe nails 😂. Those are my favorites bits to do!
Thank you!! you are very good talking about your idea, so i like your works.😊
Thank you!
LOVE the animal forest!!
The lemur picture is so cool. It looks 3d and I love the colours. I have never tried a timed challenge it sounds like it would be fun 😊and I love the one that has all the animals in it. ❤
Thank you Cheri!!!!
I just discovered your channel this week and so love this picture of all the animals and all the colors. I have tried to paint loose and abstract but have yet to accomplish that trait. Love your videos.
Sandy, I always so enjoy your vlogs. You really open my mind to so many ideas and approaches. Thank you 🇦🇺
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you!
Oh that animal spread is absolutely amazing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
I so enjoyed and am inspired by this video! I actually have really loved the few videos I’ve watched of yours. I’m a fan!
Just discovered your channel Sandi and I am binging on your videos. Thank you so very much for the inspiration you are giving here! 🙏🏻 Love your work 👏👏🌸
Thank you Ruth!!! Welcome and thank you for watching!!!
I just ordered an Art Creations sketchbook (with a light blue cover) and it arrived today! I knew it would inspire me and remind me of you when I used it. Your videos are so fun and the highlight of my Friday afternoons.
Oh awesome!
Wow - the animals at the end are amazing!! It would make a great mural in a kids room. ❤
Thank you! Yes it would!
All beautifuls pictures and colors!!!!
Thank you!
Been loving whatching your videos, the way you approach your pieces, takes the stress out of it, all I want is to have some spare time to have some fun, and experiment some of your tips... Thanks...lovely videos....
Thank you Joana!
