I found your channel a couple days ago and I’ve been watching your videos non stop. They have inspired me and I’ve been drawing and painting like I haven’t done in years. Thank you so much. I love your art.
Ohhhh I love that!!! ❤️🤗
This is a warning to you, Sandi is addictive haha 😊
I can understand your watching nonstop. I watch my favorite videos of Sandy over and over again!
Welcome to Sandi’s World!! She is amazing at being inspiring, and her videos are a lot of fun. Whenever I need a reminder to get off my ‘hiney’ and start painting, I put one of her videos. Works like a charm every single time. 💙💙
It is my bedtime, but who can go to bed when Sandi just dropped a video?
😂 ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy these little trips through your eyes 💛 Makes me so happy!!
I'm so glad!
That coffee shop painting is so awesome and really special! What a cute town you were in!
❤❤❤Your new easel!!!!! It’s amazing!!! the sound it made as you readjusted the easels position, you should’ve heard me. “Nooo waaaaayyy!” I didn’t know higher level easels could make really great sounds. I know it’s crazy but that’s always such a big deal for me with my tools and equipment. What an amazing resource you have gotten for your self. Do you love it? Is it just the best? I hope it’s giving you all the vibes. And it looks bigger which is good because you’ve gotten to where you’re painting. Much bigger now. Loved seeing it. ❤❤❤
I just love your coffee shop paintings and sketches Sandi! ❤😊
Thank you for taking us along, Sandi. I love seeing you in action! The coffee shop painting is so fun and enjoyable to watch you working on it. I was loving it and was afraid it wasn’t coming back. 😥 The final painting is great! I like how you walk us through the composition of your paintings now when you’re finished.
You are so welcome!
Hello Sandi. I cannot thank you enough for your channel. Happy going for you and your loved ones.
So glad you’re enjoying it!!!!
Absolutely love your coffee shop sketches. Vibrant and engaging!
I LOVE your church watercolor/ neocolor painting!!!! Just now getting caught up on your videos. I’m really enjoying your videos and your art.
Always enjoy going on your trips with you. Love watching you work in your sketchbooks. Good idea with the dog bowls, never thought about that. McDonald's cups are my go to. Just throw them away when they get too nasty
I absolutely love the coffee shop painting!
It was so relaxing going with you on a small town adventure, Sandi. Thank you for bringing us along. As for the ginger, if you haven't thrown it out already (😂), it's great chopped up in scones, cookies, and quick breads. It's also good chopped up and added to sautéed green beans. And, best of all, you can put a couple big pieces in a mug and cover with hot water for a ginger tea that will help sooth your voice back!
So enjoyable. I love how you see the world. It’s inspired me to look at things differently and hopefully to begin painting differently
The cafe picture is so goooood! You make me want to paint, but it's also intimidating!
Looove your❤ coffee-shop painting!
I LOOOOVE your home stdio and your beautiful property .... but it is SO MUCH FUN to travel with you as well. All the work you did on this video is just delightful. Thank you for another great video. May i suggest that you consider a class on buildings; things like houses, churches, storefronts, barns, etc. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I would love to be shown how to simplify the painting by choosing the things to leave out and the things to include. You are an amazing artist. I've enjoyed you for years.
Great idea!
Sandi your cafe sketch was so fun to look at. So many colors and objects. You have really paired down on supplies compared to earlier videos!! 👍🏻😊
Grady doesn’t agree that I’ve paired down 😂. I need to have him rewatch the Florida trip 😂
Sandy, such a great video and your positive attitude even in the midst of physical suffering is truly inspiring. I know Jesus is your strength. Love and prayers for your healing on this Divine Mercy Sunday, from your Catholic sister in Christ ❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️!!!
I don’t know how you manage your matérials outside but I’m impressed. I don’t have any art studio, so I made myself a box with my crayons and gouache, so I can draw and paint in the living room (inspired by urban sketcher) but I still feel discouraged to dispose my materials on the table and then put everything back in place. So it’s really inspiring to see you are not afraid or bored to place your materials and sort that out each time.
I LOVE packing my materials
Again… enjoyed it so much. Thank you Sandi!
So glad!
so glad you changed your mind about the coffee shop painting and decided you *did* like it! it's absolutely wonderful. to my eye, it looks like a timeless classic. :)
Ohhh thank you!!
I love love the coffee shop painting❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you!!!
Loved the sketches! I love how loose you paint. I always have a problem with tightening up even though I try not to. I always try to keep your videos in mind when I paint!! It’s always a work in progress but I love painting!! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences!!🤗
Thanks so much! 😊
❤Love these paintings!
Not surprised that Siri was unhelpful….she’s had attitude of late….today I said “hey, Siri” and she responded with “huh?”. Thanks for another fun vlog Sandi💕
😂😂😂
Dark chocolate, YUM!...the best to eat and it's good for you too ❤...add in some candied ginger to that's dessert 🍨 😅
I have just stumbled on your channel and loved your videos. Such a fun and happy person. I’ve subscribed. I’m a fellow artist and I like watching other artists creating their work and sharing it online. I’ll be watching all previous videos and look forward to new ones. All the best.
So glad you enjoyed it and welcome to the channel!!
Every time you show yourself painting in the car, just blows my mind!! How do you manage not to make a mess? And do you not get carsick? I struggle if I simply have to read something quick, can’t imagine actually sketching. Also, thank you so much for all your videos, they really are very inspiring. I’m learning so much about being an artist thanks to you. God bless you!!💙💙💙💙💙💙
I find sketching quite different from reading the car because I’m looking up so much
what a fun trip. Thanks for letting us join you ; )
Thanks for coming
I love all the paintings❤❤❤❤
Sandi, I so enjoyed today. I look forward to your videos, and you never disappoint. I love the Brakeman’s paintings. Also, one of my granddaughters lives in NC, and I felt like I could just picture her in that little town. Now I think I want to visit NC. Thanks again for making my Friday joyous.
It’s a beautiful state!
I’d be giddy about those crepes too! 😂 Loved this vlog, - super cool places you got to visit!
Delightful! Love your paintings and you of course, it's a happy moment when a new video pops up on my feed. Thank you Sandi!
I'm so glad!
Hi Sandi! Great post. I hope you will send a print of your coffee shop painting to the coffeeshop! I'lll bet they would hang it there! Years from now they will place a plaque that says "Sandi Hester painted here." ❤
🤗🤗🤗
how fun! love your paintings there. Thanks for sharing Sandi. Wishing you healing along the way! Love the coffee shop
Thank you Gwen!!!
Always enjoy your painting videos, Sandi. They are lovely.
Thank you so much!
More outdoors plz... watched Robert Joyner also todays lesson fits into ur styles...😊Ann, Florida fan
I love your video! I really enjoyed the coffee shop paintings. I identify with your little shopping story about Grady. My husband just wants to get in and get out. So funny. I love it when I get a chance to really shop and browse. Thank you again for sharing.
Thank you! Those husbands 😂
Thank you for taking us along on your trip! I enjoy seeing how you put the world around you down on the page. I find it inspiring. You also help remind me that it's okay to make stuff up even when outside doing observational painting or drawing. I love that bowl the bananas are in, in that last painting.
Yesssss - make stuff up for sure!!! 😂🤗
Siri places near me…”Grand Canyon” “Grand Tetons”. Thanks ever so much SIRI!!!😂😂 Actually laughed out loud. loved your coffee shop work and the church! So nice, Sandi!
😂🙌
Sandi I really love the paintings and drawings you made. They are all so beautiful and I love all the colours too. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey with us. Lovely as always!
You are so welcome
Hope you get well soon! Beautiful art made more impressive by the fact that you’re working while not feeling your best!
Thank you so much!
This was so fun! Thank you Sandi.
Ohhh good 🤗
These last three videos have been so awesome, Sandi! Your best yet!
Can you please tell me what kind of easel you now have? I usually have painted on a wall rather than an easel, but I’ve been liking having an easel more recently, for when I want to work at home. Your new one looks so nice and sturdy! Also I laughed when you said you always swatch and never use your swatches. Same here! Hahaha
so great Sandi!!
Oh my gosh, Sandi! You were in Matthew ‘s! Brakeman’s is one of our favorite coffee shops. We live 30 minutes away.💕
Grateful that you made this video for us and showed us your sketches.
Xoxo,
From a fellow Tennessee gal.🤗
Ohhhh that’s so neat! We really enjoyed it!
I bet you could sell a book of nothing but coffee shop sketches. Or a set of notecards. Or maybe a series of Christmas coffee shop sketches for a set of Christmas cards.
I love the little glimpses of you painting. I miss that from your older videos!
Oh your coffee shop paintings are just the bests! I love them sooo much! It so makes me want to go to my local ones even though I don’t drink coffee and I’d be shy to have anyone notice me painting them. lol
It takes time to build up courage to do it. I still get nervous every now and then
Thank you Sandi for bringing us along on your sketching trips! My week wouldn't be the same without a Sandi vlog post ❤ I loved all of your sketches and paintings but my absolute favourites were Brakemans and the beautiful buildings ❤ that church caught my eye (unusual architecture ❤)
I pray you have recovered from your health issues 💚 ❤hoping you feel better today.
I share Grady's love of dark chocolate, the higher the cocoa solids the better 😋 yummy 😉🍫
I love your colour palettes.
Thank you!!!
haha seeing the art of brakemans in the intro caught me off guard, i walk there from my job all the time!
and royal cafe too! they have such good tea and crepes 🥰
Ohhhh that’s so neat!!!
Sarah Burns Studio... This weeks episode ... about swatching with a purpose ...or as she said color notes. Sharing helpful ideas and different surroundings. We all learn from each other. Then there's Imperfect Painting. He is extremely talented... and focuses on the substrates... talks while he paints... less screen time on himself. Always enjoy seeing you film studio setup scences... and of course watching the development stages of ur creating..😊Ann
Irene Appleby... Astract mixed media Landscape 😊... U will like 👍 👌... Ann, Florida fan
I love the Neocolor 1s too. I wish I could get the open stock. I also love Greek food and crystallized ginger. It's delicious with dark chocolate and hazelnuts. What a sweet little town this is. So much fun for you to visit and sketch. Thanks for taking us along!
I love coffee shops! Now I want to go sit in coffee shops and do sketches! Lol. Not sure if I am brave enough though!
You can do it!
i love the way you paint people, it makes me want to explore more with my own art
Love your process videos - every time I watch one I’m inspired to paint! Your excitement and curiosity is infectious! 💙🕊️
I'm so glad!
I love the end result of your coffee shop painting...great idea to put it away for a couple of weeks..I do that with my pieces...😊
what a fun video this is! Thank you for taking us with you! How was the two sweets for Grady? Did he enjoyed them? See you soon! 🌻
He liked the chocolate
Your coffee shop sketches and paintings, both inside and outside are fabulous, such vibrant colour and great composition🧡 I love that you take us along for the ride, although i've tried sketching in our car before and i just felt car sick😂 Its so much fun watching you create, you are a great teacher, thank you🙏🏼❤️
Oh no to the car sickness 🤪
Awesome art you made! Yes, please take us along when you travel again. Your paintings of people and buildings are my favorites.
Thank you! Will do!
I always forget to look at the swatch sheet when I'm painting outside too! 😂
😂😂😂
I need to find a way to send you an email. You have changed my life!!! Art is officially my saving grace to my past and it has been such a blessing. And your video over working bc with the different colors and the trick of using the black and white filter on your phone is amazing!!! Thank you so so much!!!
I’m thrilled to hear that ❤️❤️❤️
🎉 Sooo fun Sandi! Thank-you! ❤
I hope the cafe buys your painting. Love the details, especially when you say you get tight. That’s when I love it more. So fun and well done.
Thank you so much!
Thank you ⭐️
Wheeeeee! Thanks for taking us along. Your videos are a constant inspiration! My favorite thing is the little yellow teapot in the last painting. I took a road trip to Cincinnati last weekend and wish I'd taken more photographs for reference. I was helping a friend move and did all the driving, so unfortunately I couldn't whip out my phone as much as I would've liked. Definitely didn't have a moment to sketch, but maybe next time when I visit and things are more chill.
Maybe next time!
Did you know Fabriano is an Italian paper brand? I predict a good haul when you're going to Italy. Will you show us something from that trip? I'm so happy for you that you're going and so excited to see what you think of it.
Yes, Grady’s going too so he will be filming some of it.
I used to live in Matthews. Renfrow’s is a great place.
Ohhh that’s neat! I just loved the little town!
You are right; it was a quaint little town. Loved your inspirations, sketches and paintings.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for taking us with you 😉 Love your paintings! 😍
My pleasure 😊
For me iT is also bedtime 😬. But first looking to the video. Thank you dear Sandi it makes me so happy 🤗
You inspired me to go sketch outside for the first time. Love all your videos…you are wonderful and fun to watch. Thank you for taking us along.
Ohhh awesome! Way to get out there! 🤗
thanks for sharing your trip with us! Sorry about your allergy issues. This season has been hell for me also and according to my doc it has been also for a ton of his patients. Lets hope the next months are better. Keep up the great work. xo
Loving the beautiful artworks Sandi also hope you feel better too ❤️
Thank you Deborah!!
Love dried mango and hu chocolates!
Great video, Sandi. I really love the painting(s) you did of the Brakemans Cafe - so full of interest, uplifting palette and cohesive design of the space. I feel that cafes are you forte at this point in time. Get well and enjoy springtime painting.
Oh thank you!
You get me all fired up to paint, Sandi 🔥
🙌 yahoooo
Realie enjoying this video. will watch again tomorrow. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like a great trip. Loved the coffee shop art!
Thank you!!!
I lived in Fayetteville NC 20 yrs ago. The dogwood trees blooming is gorgeous, so are the fall leaves.
🤗🤗🤗
I loved this video!! I mean I love all of your videos but this one was a fun perspective!
I'm so glad!
Very enjoyable video!!! Loved seeing your latest paintings!!!
Thanks so much 😊
The cafe scene painting is chefs kiss 👌🏻👌🏻 also love the blue glasses 😎
Thank you!
So enjoyed you adventures and how your colours seemed to change to a holiday mode
Thank you!
What a great video, Sandi! I just love your sketches and watching your process as you paint from them.
I have watched you go over and over your supplies to whittle them down to a minimum for plein air /traveling... I have been trying to do that, too.
I am aware that i make it harder on myself than it needs to be 🤪 I spend way too much time trying to make choices, but this is my year to do it!! I will / can do this (hopefully) 😂🤞
Take care!
You can do it!🤗
❤
Thank you Sandi. I’m inspired now to pull up some pictures I’ve taken and see what happens. Onward.
Ohhh awesome!!!
Loving what you’ve been doing. The Brakeman’s painting should be hanging in their shop!
Ohhhh yes - I should see if they’d like it!
As usual, love your work and video! I have to ask, did Grady like the ginger and chocolate? Thank you for taking us along with you!
He liked the chocolate
Another lovely video! I adore getting to come along on your trips! I am itching to go paint in public now, it's been a little bit 😊 thank you again Sandi, I hope your allergies and all get better soon. Nerve issues stink. Take it easy ❤
Side question, would you ever consider sharing about your process for selling and mailing your original artwork? I've been researching for myself but would really value hearing your thoughts. But if that's a boring video for you, by no means make it, I just love seeing you make what you enjoy! Thank you!
That’s a good idea for a video!
Hi Sandi! really love your coffee shop sessions and the type of art that comes from them. I would not know where to start with it on my page if I were to do that. If you are thinking about making an online course for that type of thing I would love it. staying loose and yet getting detail, its an art for sure. loved this weeks video!!
I’ll keep that in mind for a future class!
Here for the “50 million” …………
😂🙌
Awe I wish I knew you were coming , even though I live 2.5 hours away from Matthew’s NC I would have loved to meet up and sketch with you Sandi. If ever you’re near the Raleigh area lmk.. 🎉
Ohhhhhhhh 🤗
I am happy how loose I am in my sketchbook now but as soon as I try to repaint the same painting again on a canvas etc, I have the same problem it gets too tight. I'm sure it's psychological.
Hu is the best chocolate brand!!
wonder what backpack you use, you seem to bring quite a lot stuff ❤
Love your Trader Joe's bag! :)
Someone made it for me and I love it!
Should have came by as I also work with curly hair AND art - so we would have fun!
Ohhhh 🙌
