I've been binge watching you for weeks now and you have taught me a most valuable lesson in art... art is enjoying the process, to love the simple act of playing and to not fear making a bad piece of art. It's about ME loving what I create, to quit taking myself so seriously and to just paint for the love of painting. And I've embraced the joy you show and the result is that I'm not afraid anymore and best of all, my art has drastically improved, I love experimenting all the time now and it's showing in the fact my art shows life and energy now.. I can't thank you enough that your passion of what you do has totally changed my art journey! My art shows passion and joy instead of being rather dead looking.
I’m so glad to hear the channel has been helpful Melissa!
Thank you for not taking yourself so serious! You're hilarious and talented 😇
Thank you! Life’s too short for serious!
A few years ago I had major major art burn out and got super anxious about painting and art making in general. It's haunted me for a long time now and I feel like I've been wasting my time. I happened to stumble onto your channel somehow and ever since painting has just been on my mind 24/7 again and I've started to get back into the swing of things. You've been such an amazing wake up call, and a great reminder to just have fun and create for myself rather than worrying over the whos whats and whys. So thank you so much for reminding me that yes, I am an artist damn it, and yes, I love to paint.
😭❤️ such a great comment to get this morning! Man alive am I glad to hear these videos could do that much in a person’s life. Thank you for taking time to share this with me!!!!!!
“Unfortunately, some of these started looking like they were mating…”. 😂😂😂 I got a great laugh out of that!
Love the way the colours in the ink landscape played so well together. 😍
So glad it gave you a laugh 😂
I shouldn’t have started this on my lunch break having to go back to work. All I want to do is get into the studio!! You’re so motivating! 🤗❤️🤗❤️
That’s funny-I went to a coffee shop for my lunch and brought a few art supplies and was playing as I watched this. You’re right; Sandi just inspires you to dig into your materials and play
I’m so glad to hear that!!! Not the part about having to go back to work 😂
Man alive that makes me happy!
@@sandihester LOL! One day I can do art full time but until then I'll just be super distracted 🤣
@@Julie-vy3oz That sounds sooooo wonderful :)
Imagine how happy I was to see a yet unviewed YT of yours pop up in my feed - AFTER I had been watching someone else earlier who referred to something her friend had painted as like Sandi Hester! LOL! How fun was that! I love your con-cer-ti-na walk book! I love that fold and cut format! When I open one up completely after filling with watercolors, it is such a delight! I have a ream of 17" x 11" cardstock that I'm going to get out and make one from. I've done them small, but my favorite is from a full sheet of good watercolor paper - 22"x30", which makes a wonderful size to paint on. I loved seeing how your space was arranged, too. I had forgotten that you had that cupboard on that wall by the doorway! Enjoy!
"Nethertheless, she persisted"
😂😂😂
Thank you for your vids. They teach me to have fun with my supplies
Oh dear-sitting in a coffee shop watching and painting and occasionally, suddenly laughing out loud at “I need to stop” and “it looks like they’re mating”. Very inspiring and wonderfully amusing!
Hahahahaha!!
Oh my - this cracked me up!!!
I thought the same thing 😂😂. You make me laugh…it’s a good thing❣️
great work! i dont think theres Any other youtuber artist who plays as much makin watchers smile world over
Awe 😭😭😭 thank you ❤️
Might I suggest a trick I’ve used with pen and ink. I take inexpensive sponges and cut a hole through them that fits my ink bottles. The sponge gives the bottle stability so they don’t knock over and you can sit your pen or brush on the sponge. I have a dozen of these sitting around so I can have several bottles open and not worry about knocking them over. When I’m done I pull out my bottles and stack the sponges.
Ummm this is genius!!!!! Going to look for some sponges to purchase now…
Inspirational! My favorite part was watching you paint the landscape with the inks. You’re fun to watch in general! And I do learn….
Thank you Eileen! 🥰
so much fun hanging out with you this morning.
Awe - I’m so glad to hear that Dawnita!
No better therapy than channeling our inner child, good for you.
Maybe you're not overworking the paper. Maybe the paper is underperforming!😉Always inspiring hearing about your process! Thank you!!❤
So glad it was inspiring. No, the paper does great if you do a later and then let it dry. You can do a TON of layers if you do it that way.
@@sandihester Try thicker mixed media and watercolour paper with the inks. You can work it harder without the pilling.
@@sandihester No hair dryer in your arsenal of tools? I really like how crap paper can actually hold up to a ton of abuse if you DON'T RUB ;) Even if you do, it can be fixed well enough. Rips and tears are much harder to fix tho. My poor $ Store brushes and sketchbooks go through so much, but so far no pages have detached themselves and fled, so that's good.
Love your joyous style! I also appreciate that your tutorials are about art rather than one big infomercial… as many of my favorite TH-camrs have become…not all of us can constantly buy new products
I’d love to see you paint a picture of Cooper on your red ink spill like you did the birds on the dining table.
Another fantastic vlog! I love putting your videos on while I work in the studio. (I have to watch them more than once so I can watch once while actually 100% watching.😆👀) I just had to pause and scribble the phrase “shape collecting” ⭐️on a scrap of paper with my paint brush! So inspiring, thank you!💛
So glad you’re finding these vids to be inspiring Jessica - win! 🤗
The goats/sheep at 34:19 onwards really reminded me of Sautines "wounded Bison" in the colours and raw vibe. Love it
Wonderful inspirations !!! Thank you so very much for sharing your play !!
You’re so welcome - thank you for watching!
Just had to drop you a note. Have been in a painting slump for a couple of weeks. You are inspiring, entertaining and make me laugh. Pulled out old stilllfe studies and sketched one so we’ll see what happens. Again, thanks for sharing your videos and keep ‘em comin’ 😂❤️
Thank you Johnel! I’m so glad the videos helped you get out of a creative slump 🤗
Sandi, your content is such a blessing! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life and process with us. I feel so inspired by your creativity. :) Thanks for your hard work and generosity in creating these videos and your beautiful art for us to enjoy!
Awe - thank you Hanna! I really appreciate that!!!
I loved this week's video. I loved the ink drawing in your sketchbook with the blue house on the left. I can't wait to see where your abstract painting ends up. Thanks for another video.
Thank you Sandra! The large abstract is turning out SOOOO GOOD!
Overwork! Schmoverwork! Whatever…it’s a process that you show us goes on and it is individual and fun! I have learned sooo much from your videos. Especially to be able to RELAX and dive in! Just have fun! Thank you for sharing yourself with us. My favorite time of the day is when you inspire me and give me permission to go play.
Awe - I love that Michelle! So glad you’re finding inspiration and freedom to play here!
Sandi, Thank you for reminding us to play!!!
Any time!
Your channel, watching you work, is so inspiring, and I learn so much. Thank you!
My daughter when she was in junior high was working on a school project…she needed some of my inks. I told her to be careful coming down stairs with them because they were glass. Well she took forever and when she returned to me in the garage where the project was taking place she told me she dropped one and was cleaning it up. I went and looked. It was all over the wall. I got wall paint out, painted and turned the hairdryer off right when the hubby walked in from deer camp. He never knew it happened until years later. 🤣
That’s so funny and I can image the mess 😳
I love this BIG painting! Looks so fun!
Thank you Debbie! I’m love how it’s coming along!
I am loving where the abstract is going!
Thank you Lisa! I’ve been creating abstracts like a wild woman this week!!!
Binging again. You are just too much fun.....
🥰
These are awesome now I gotta go home and paint!
Absolutely love. Floor to the wall is real life. I love it! Perfect end to the day! You work so hard- I hope you end your days full and satisfied ❤️ You generate so much light. Praying special blessings over this season of life for you as I go to sleep!
Awe - thank you so much Shauna!!!
Hi, new to your channel and loving it! I’m trying to loosen up more & what a help you are! I’d love to see more of how you paint the flowers. I’m getting so many tips. Wish I had the time to just binge watch 😂. Dolores ❤
Love the tips. A lot of ideas to help me with my painting. I love the collage pieces in the abstract flower painting. 🌼 Great job!!! ❤ Thank you for sharing your great ideas! It really helps give me a new way of looking at my artwork. 🙂
I’m so glad to hear it helps you look at your work in new ways!
The acrylic inks are beautiful on watercolour paper. The way they behave on it is very different to sketchbook paper. I use them on thicker mixed media and watercolour paper and I love the effects.
Every time I see those landscapes you did, I think I’ve got to go out and get some acrylic ink! I don’t know what it is about the ink vs. paint that just seems so freeing. (And you might have figured this out after filming, but your older Liquitex ink was acrylic, too, they just changed the label. It looks like they really hyped the “ink!” aspect before.)
Oh - that’s funny - I didn’t notice the label change
Minute 30 … I like how you just keep adding and playing in that sketchbook. Wow that Royal Talens sketchbook is really holding on.
Your abstract animals are just amazing, and such an inspiration for me. Sadly I never keep them simple, I always end up adding to much details to them.
I had a week with no motivation, and too much pain that I didn’t pick up a pencil :( after I watch this video in bed yesterday evening, I started sketching! Now rewatching it, and my inspiration/motivation to create is back 👊🏻
Oh man - I’m so glad this gave you some motivation!!!!!
you put so much creative energy into your you tubes. kudos to you Sandi!
Thank you Carol!
I forgot how much I loved these simple shapes 💛
I've just discovered yoy and you are now my favorite artist to follow! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh -- I just had an idea about the accordion book I wondered if you can buy watercolor paper by the roll. I just looked and YOU CAN! It's expensive to get the good stuff but oh my goodness it would make such a great larger sketchbook!! Thanks for doing what you do, Sandi, you give me so many good ideas!
You're so much fun!
Thank you!
DELICIOUS delicious delicious FUN!! Thank you so much for giving us permission to explore. Your inspiration alone is priceless! Many thanks. 🙏🏻
🤗🙌🤗🙌🤗 WIN!!
I love to take a look in your studio and at your work. You've painted a big one!😍 I love to paint big too.Thank you for sharing.
WOW!
I wish I had you in school. The art teachers would make fun of art.... I have dyslexia....
..keep up the good work, thank you !
I am SO glad I found you today! "Almost mating!" I didn't see it until I saw it and then I couldn't unsee it! bahahahaha! Anyway! Thank you for sharing your process! I have been so tight lately in my painting and you have inspired to me to loosen up! Play more and quit being so serious! thank you!
Glad it gave you a laugh!!! 🤗
Absolutely stunning and gorgeous enjoyed watching you paint 🎨 beautiful abstract painting! You are an inspiration and motivating! Thank you so much for all this awesome sharing! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much Sandi for sharing your process, you are so inspiring. And I absolutely love the large painting - wow! 😘💕
Ohhhh thank you!
I love your fresh ideas!!
I am only 2.56 minutes into your youtube and I must say I love it! Love your free spirit and friendliness... Thank you.
Thank you!!!
I love your “I need to stop” painting. It reminds me of Joshua Tree Nat’l Park.
Thank you Jane!
Yes - cave paintings: really beautiful 😍
Thank you!
The goat paintings really remind me of Marcos Bontempos, especially his recent dog paintings! I love the free feeling you both express through your paintings. Thank you for these amazing weekly videos, I dont know how you do it haha :).
I don’t know how I do a weekly video either Krystal - but some how I keep showing up with one! Glad you liked it!
This big pink one is my very very very very favorite
Fabulous !!! I love paint on paper !!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Me too 🤗
Sandi! Fun as usual! You didn't say, but I think we got a glimpse of some of the things your mom made you out of that fun fabric? Cute!
I love the big abstract flower piece. Bravo
Thank you- I’m so happy with it!
I love the goats mating or not they are great and artistic in your representation. 😊
So glad you like them - I like them too!
First time I react. You are a colour magician. Love your vibes!
Thank you!!!!
Everytime I fell asleep because of antihistamines I rewonund again and again till I watched the whole video thanks for this wonderful reminder to get free and play! Thanks for Sharing Sandi💜
Awe 😂 thank you Deborah!
I discovered your Chanel 2 days ago. I was researching videos on Golden so flat matte acrylics. Oh i’m so glad i did!
Welcome Renaye!!!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the channel!
If you want to lighten up the Acrylic Ink stain on your wood counter you can try Rubbing Alcohol. I use it to remove acrylic paint and Acetone will remove enamel paint but, you do need to neutralize it with Rubbing Alcohol so it doesn't damage the surface. Clean up can be done with a wet rag and a little soap. I love how creative and experimental you are in these videos. I have said it before, you are inspirational and motivate me to get into the studio and just play. ❤ Try it with just a small spot first if you decide to try it. Different surface react differently.
Thank you Deborah! I actually like the stain 😂. But I’ll try this if I ever get it on something that I do mind it being on
Thankyou sandi. I just got this book from the library. Paint Happy. By Cristina Acosta. I thought sandie would love this book too.
I’ll check it out!
You got some great ASMR going on in your videos Sandi 🥰 xxx
I was delighted with that too 🤗
Fun video!❤
Concertina, that's right!
Oh I love the piece you did with the acrylic inks, especially the blue! You got me inspired! I have a hard time being inspired. It's not that I don't have ideas, but there's too much and I'm not well a lot of the time, so I have too many ideas and not enough time to complete the pieces!! I'm going to get an artist mentor who will help me with that. Hopefully soon. Thanks for your beautiful pieces!!
So glad it was inspiring Michele!!!
Your video’s are fantastic, only thing is I say heck with housework. I can’t stop watching.
I always wanted to see what acrylic inks look like out of the bottle so thanks.One little note I bought Windsor Newton water mixable oil paint.Since these paints are water soluble I tried mixing the oils with acrylics and it worked.So I'm just experimenting.Now that I saw your video I'm going to buy some acrylic inks and mix them with the Wn water oil paints and see what happens.
Hi Sandi, so happy you popped up in my recommended videos to watch. Recommended your HOW TO DRAW THE HEAD AND FACE-SIMPLIFIED. I watched the video, subscribed and have been watching the rest of your videos. Thanks for sharing your talents. You make me laugh sometime within every video! Also am following you on Instagram. Can't wait to see what you are up to next!
Thank you Julie! I’m so glad your enjoying the channel!!!
It was interesting seeing how you used the inks to paint a landscape. I have some and so far I've only dropped them onto the paper and either sprayed them with water or moved them round with a brush for backgrounds in art journaling. I'm definitely going to try painting with them now! I also have the quin-what's-it-name magenta...it is intense!
They are really wonderful to paint with and you don’t have full control which I really like
This was such a fun video.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Judy 🤗
I love working on big pieces! I’m currently working on a 48”x48” canvas! Thanks for another inspiring video ❤️ also love your Frida bag 😍
Wow - that’s big! I’m all about big right now!
Great video . Thank you❤
You can buy the Concertina Sketch books with hard covers, even really tiny ones.
So nice video, beautiful sharing!😍
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this one Sandi,thank you.My Favourite was the Abstract,being an Abstract Artist myself it very much appeals to me.It made me think of some of Gillian Ayers work,I have been influenced by some of her work over the years.😘
Thank you Wendy!!!
Wonky is good 🙂Trying to do perfect puts me off and I end up not doing it.
Trying to use your tips to loosen up my art and it’s much more fun 😉
Love your videos they always cheer me up 😁
Thank you Mary Emma! 🥰
Good Morning, Sandi! I'm loving this new video/youtube --- I think you may be referring to a "concertina"...maybe... (when I think of a concertina, I think --- Italy, or somewhere in old Europe --- not sure if anyone still plays them ---
Now back to your new youtube!! Best wishes!
You glad you’re enjoying the video Emmie!
Thank you for another lovely video. I love that last abstract - mmm turned out so well.
For our old dog, we put down some quilty blankets and a dog bed so she doesn't have to lay down on the wood floors.
I wonder if Coopy would like that? He sounds like he's getting a bit stiff (like many of us are!!) x
The other thing that's great is carpet samples - very soft and padded. We get them at the thrift store too and she loves them!
He has more dog beds than one can count and he still prefers the floor - especially in the studio for some reason
@@sandihester he likes to groan ... for attention that little stinker!!
I love all your tutorials on supplies. Saves me a lot of time ann$$… otherwise the product was not what I needed to buy. Or I buy it. And wonder what to do with it. And watch it dry up. Thank you
I'm so glad!
Love sky color
Thank you!
More great inspiration and belly laughs. Just bottle YOU because you're a work of art. Value finder voodoo queen. And the Freudian goat sheep breeders
😂😂😂😂😂
Gorgeous
Thank you so much 🤗I'm always learning something new here .and sandy you crack me up too ...the animals mating ...still laughing .thanks for making you're content so fun and achievable .I'm off to draw a goat 👍☺️
Awe 1 thank you Sam - so glad stitches enjoy the videos!!!!
Hey Sandi, would it help if you put gesso on your paper before getting to the rubbing part?😊 I don’t really know, just an idea. You’re immensely talented, inspiring and fun! Thanks for being and sharing!
Hi Sandi you inspired me to play with my inks that have not been used for awhile. Lots of fun. Thank you 😊
Ohhhh good Laura! Have fun!
Firstly, I noticed in your sketch book you dated the page 2021…January 31, 2021…and the others 2022 haha…anyhow great video and so much great information. Love the palette of color on the final abstract piece. That piece of paper was big so I assume its glued many sheets together. Thanks Sandi
The big abstract was canvas - I just hadn’t stretched it yet
Sandi ,have you ever seen Gillian Ayers work,I guess she was a real Character,there are some examples here on utube.She seemed to have great fun when she worked,usually with a ciggy in one hand 😆
That name sounds familiar- I’ll look her up!
I find your videos soooo inspiring, Sandi, not to mention fun! Could you give a link to that website where you find locations to paint from? Thanks so much. Also... now that you are using primarily acrylics, would you consider doing a video on your favorite colors of those and also of the Neocolor oil pastels? Can't thank you enough!
I have a favorite colors video from a while back and those are always my standard colors across all mediums. The website is called mapcrunch
@@sandihester Thank you!
Love this abstract flower painting. Also wondering if you have working with walnut crystal ink for your mono colour sketches? If not I think you might enjoy it as it is able to be mixed up to any degree of saturation and is rich and warm when in a deep hue. Tsukineko have a great product and I think Daniel Smith offers the crystal form also. cheers Judy
Ohhh - thank you I might give it a try!
Love it! How about a sketchbook flip? Looks like a couple might be finished?
Flip though NEXT WEEK 🤗
Even more confusing: I call the harmonica shaped book a 'leporello'. But maybe that's an European thing. I would really like to see how you would use the Zorn palette.
Could you link what you are using for filming? The stand. I am a photographer who does a lot of still life work and I’ve been asked to show my process. I have not been able to find sturdy holders to film straight down and show how I create my still life vignettes. So glad I found your channel today. So fun and happy and inspirational!
I think it’s called the magic arm
@@sandihester thank you!
Hi Sandi, the word I think you’re looking for is Concertina 😃. But by all means name it however you like, it makes things sound even more interesting/ funny. 💜✨ Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium. 💫
Thank you!
And now I finally notice the title of this weeks video…😁 Oops. Honestly I never look at the title. Every Saturday I’m way too eager to watch your new & amazing/entertaining video! Keep the great art coming Sandi! You’re a true inspiration. 💜
only recently found you here and so good watching you just let go...and after long days of stagnation with my ink paintings watching you drop inks on pages and let them be however they want reminded me how much I love doing that...and palette for that only slows the process of enjoyment doesn't it? Not sure if you tried but I love dr ph martins Bombay inks as they are mostly transparent and flow more like watercolour rather acrylic ones. Hugs from Poland
I think I have one or two bottles of that brand. Thank you!
♥️♥️♥️♥️
ok... I know I'm going to like this... but won't watch until I can sit down and enjoy it with a cup of coffee.... ; )
🥰🥰🥰
i want so bad to show you my art. I’ve never tried acrylics befor, and am finding them soooiii liberating..
I’m so glad you’re finding them liberating Sharon!
Hello, I love your videos too, as I watch these videos, I feel that my creativity gets stronger, I'm glad to have you, you are really a very creative woman too, it is very high quality in your videos, especially the image quality is very good, I wonder what is the brand of the camera, which brand do you use?
I love the big abstract , what kind of paper did you use??
