    Your color test pages are practically paintings in their own right! We think upgrading from hair spray was a good move, too. Thanks for a glimpse at the grounds around your home that inspire you. Your kitchen is so charming! (But now our stomachs are growling) These videos truly show how making art can bring joy to life!

    I see pure joy in your field study. You might want to experiment with Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper. Made for pastels, but it can take wet and mixed media. For an underpainting, I use some sort of wet media, or pastel washed with 70% alcohol (dries quicker than water)... and then use my soft pastels on top. It comes in different colors, but I like white, and it has a soft feel to it. It's a bit pricey, but worth trying if you are using soft pastels. Instead of single sheets, I buy the pads.

    new subscriber and literally obsessed! Your art process and just abstract art in general really steers me away from perfection and to create art to create. and I really love that because my 2022 goal was to have a more daily creative process and really have an "artist" daily life and your videos inspire me to create even if it's "shitty art" in my eyes. Even if the year almost over and I'm finally getting what having a "creative art life" actually looks like on the daily and not just creating to complete a finished piece

    I saw that roll of pastels and my immediate reaction was, "Cool! Sandi got a BOOMERANG!" Then my secondary reaction was, "woah. that would be bad." (I am the duchess of clumsiness so I think I was projecting) But now, of course, I have to move those graphite bars up my list. I adore a chunky drawing tool too! Thanks for taking us along into the fields! That painting was AWESOME!

    May I just say this: your landscapes are becoming something I want to roll in! They are so inviting to simply be and enjoy in every single way. No matter how I feel, your landscapes make me happy, and that says a lot because I rarely feel that way when looking at a work of art. When you’re an artist, art teacher, and an avid student of art history you tend to form a ridiculous critical eye that makes it hard to simply enjoy a work of art. Somehow, your work manages to free my eye from its constant critiquing and allows me to take it all in with gusto. I need to send you something I’ve been holding onto for a while. If your mailing address is something you would be willing to share I would like to send it to you.

    I have to say I love the way you do your swatches, it's actually my preferred method as well! The tidy boxes or stripes I see so frequently (for swatching) always seems like it doesn't give a good sense of any given medium's capability, and how it'll play in general or together. Especially when one works mixed! So vibrant and exciting to see. You've been one of my favorites for awhile now, I'm just comment-shy, haha.

    Hi Sandi, another great video, thanks! Just an FYI on your 2 Spectrafix fixative, you are likely aware that you bought 2 different ones, but wanted to let you know just in case as they may act differently. (it may not make a difference depending how you use it). The smaller one you bought is their "regular" fixative and the one in the larger spray bottle is their new "final" fixative, they are marketing it as a potential replacement for having to frame soft pastels under glass. I have not tried it. Thanks for your great sense of humour and colourful videos!

    BGE is unison's blue green earth category if I'm remembering correctly. 🤔 Their colour codes are interesting. The pastels are fabulous 💙

    Graphite numbering system trick : H = Hard = Holds a sharp point. B = BLACK = softer so they go down darker. Bigger H = MORE hard, Bigger B = MORE soft/black/darker :)

    I call pastels the gateway pigment. 😄 the colors, the texture, the immediate impact - totally hooked!! Pastels are swoon worthy and helped me understand my other pigment bases. 💃🏻

    Sandi thank you so much for brightening my day with your art and your laughs with your sweet hubs.
    That lovely new green pastel! And those yummy looking chunky graphite pencils-!!!! I practically drooled when you showed us how smooth they are. 😋May we look forward to a demo on that new Spectrum spray?

    • @sandihester
      @sandihester  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don’t think it needs a demo - just give a spray and let it dry and repeat a couple of times

    Sandi, you might enjoy the Lyra Graphit water-soluble graphite pencil. I have the 6B and it is magical!

    Great art haul! I love watching you try new supplies/brands. Pastels are so fun and relaxing to work with. I bought a set of iridescent Sennilier pastels and I love the colors and smoothness. I had written down the name of those larger pastels in your set, but I lost my note 🥴 Do you happen to remember the name? If not, thats ok I will look through your videos 😊
    Have a great week! 😄💓

    I stepped away from the channel to come back and find Sandi at a whole different location. My first thought was "Wait where are we?", lol.
    Anyway, I have returned for my internet palette cleanser. The vibe is immaculately wholesome, as always.

    I love the graphite sticks they work really good for somebody who has a hard time holding pencils because they're so thick. Also they make a water soluble product and they make a 9B graphite sticks that are all the same

    Lyra graphite sticks also come in a 6B and 9B. Lyra also makes the graphite sticks that are water-soluble from 2B to 9B; so much fun! Oh, I thought you might like to know that on the graphite scale the lead gets darker as the number increases; so a 4B would be lighter in value than the 9B, which is the darkest one. 😉 🥰

    One mans weeds is another’s flowers.
    I don’t know if the green is perhaps remnants of something previously planted for harvesting, but if not, then what you are calling weeds are native wildflowers and grasses. Much more impressive sounding, no? 🌻Laura
