Good to know that you don't mind me watching, and re-watching, your videos for inspiration and encouragement Lol! Can I just say that yes, art is definitely your gift, but your spiritual gift is how you present it....not just the art itself. Sandi! You have re-ignited my faith and my faith in humans, in addition to my art. Just sayin'.
Sandi, proof that sneaking into the past, your past videos, teaches me so much! The big Ole Derwent black book...I've been hunting for a good, biiig, black paper sketchbook! And I found one on Amazon. All others were from other countries. And it wasn't too much $. AND, your examples of using it have inspired me to get my gouache out. Also, about your substack, I am happily gobbling it up. But I watch it without the app --- for me, I just have enough apps, I can't handle too many because I get too distracted. 😅 I am so looking forward to your publication of your sketchbooks --- some day! I know how long it takes to produce a book. Thank you for all you share (and for free) --- the immense donation of your time, your Work, is a gift, and I count it as a blessing. (Grrr on those recent grumpy comments on your latest RUclips video!!!) Grrr and hisses! :)
OMG! I must have laughed for 5 minutes when you talked about painting guns. Oh, I love you so, Sandy. YOu could have edited this part out, but left if in. You are so down to earth real. ❤❤❤
You're welcome Melanie! I'm a new channel so I don't have many people watching yet but I have had some people reach out to via Instagram to tell me they will be checking several of the things out that I mentioned so hopefully you will get some activity from it!
How interesting that you are talking about having zero self control with some of your fav you tubers because I found your channel 4 days ago and I'm binge watching your videos and am obsessed!!! Love your sweet funny personality and as I just got back into painting after a 35 yr hiatus I'm loving your whole style and approach to painting!! Thanks for being my fav Inspo xx
Bethany, thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the channel!!! I replied to your comment and then something happened to it - so if you get two responses that’s why. Thank you for writing and thank you for the kind worlds!!
New subscriber here, just binge watching all of your videos ☺️. One of my favorite RUclipsrs is Minnie Small. Young Londoner who is so very talented, yet full of questions & vulnerabilities like the rest of us humans. I love that she's so open and shares both her joy & insecurities thru vlogs, paint with me's, etc. She's gotten pretty big now, so there's some sponsored videos in there too, but delivered with class & in a voice I could listen to all day. Favorite materials: watercolor, acrylic & canvas. Just trying gouache & im kinda digging it! So that Flashe paint you mentioned definitely has me interested. Thanks for sharing!!! ❤️
Dee, love that you're binge watching - yahoo!!! That means the world to me because that means your enjoying them - sooooo encouraging! I'm quite familiar with Minnie - she's got a great channel!!! I would describe Flashe paint like gouache and acrylic had a baby. Thanks for another great comment - LOVE getting comments from my viewers!
Would love to see an updated favorites video if you have any! Or also supplies that stood as tried and true favorites/things you consistently repurchase. I'm itching to get to the art store 😅
It's Sunday night and I have to wake up early for work. I'm grateful my commute is 10 feet to my desk because I've been binge watching your channel all day. I tell myself not to click, but here I am 😁 I really need to go to bed 🤗
I’ve been binge watching chamberlain painting on RUclips. His videos are great, so calming and great info. I also like Ian Robert mastering composition and In the Studio with Diane Mize, she is truly a treasure.
Thank you so much for sharing! This was such a great video. I tend to watch many Small and lately Sarah Burns. I like listening to the Sneaky Artists podcast as well. Love your videos.
Love your videos. Thank you so much for all you share. I am inspired consistently by only a few artists. With your videos, I always learn something interesting whether it’s your thinking out loud as an artist, or the way you gather inspiration from your own art, or just seeing the variety of subjects you tackle and even the variety of color themes and layouts!! Oh, and the way you combine mediums- and layer- it’s just all very inspiring and has helped me to actually use my expensive art supplies that I haven’t touched! I really just thought of several more things I could list, but this post is probably longer than you have time to read…lol. Thank you for sharing so much great info. Just wish you lived closer!
One of the best videos for recommendations! love love, so glad I already follow or know those people you refer...guess I must be in the 'know' right,,,haha...thanks again such a wealth of information Sandi!
Kyle Martin Paintings they’re the best! Noticed you have a channel as well - looking forward to checking it out! Thanksgiving taking time to watch and comment!
Thank YOU so much. I’m new to your channel, and after the first video i looked to see how many you had. I didn’t want it to be all over in an hour. *hah* So I totally understood you saying you should hold back but you couldn’t. Your RUclips channel is a breath of fresh paint!! (And air) :):)
Awe - thank you so much for this kind comment! First of all, WELCOME!!! So glad to have you here! and I'm thrilled you're enjoying the content! Thank you for taking time to let me know you're enjoying it!
First of all, I love your videos!!! Your studio is gorgeous too, so colorful and interesting, just like you! I’m into painting and mixed media arty stuff and love learning from you. I think the Flash paint description meant using the paint actually in a paint gun not on a gun, I think? Anyways, keep up your awesome videos and our peek into your art days in your studio, let alone your art store visits!❤️
No problem maria! i'm such a goof and barely have a brain :). I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel!

Only in US you can hear someone talking about "painting your guns" in a literal sense... Anyways, love your videos! If you liked Polychromos, you should try the Albrecht Dürer line, it's water colourable!
OMG, You're talking about mispronounced names of art supplies and I am busy looking up SPLASHE PAINT wondering why I can't find it. I getcha. It's like we're sharing the same brain. I just blame it on my broken brain. Meh 🤦♀️🤷♀️🤣 I honestly love watching you, you always have me in stitches.
I love all your videos, you have such enthusiasm, have you found the art juice podcast yet with Louise Fletcher and Alice Sheridan? Great art conversations
I love your videos! Your way of showing things, especially the size, cracks me up. Your style is so fun and inspiring. Can I ask what you use between the pages in your sketchbook? Is it just acid free tissue paper maybe? I'm trying to figure out how to limit smudging and transferring in my sketchbook. I love the Stillman & Birn Alpha too!
I use wax paper (from the kitchen) but recently bought several types of fixatives - I’ll be telling y’all soon what I think of them. Thank you for your kind words!
OMGosh Sandi! I'm new here but I have fallen h-a-r-d for you and this channel! (I'm wondering if my husband might be a bit upset because it's been PB & J for dinner all week). I'm an art journaler but wish I could actually paint. On a side note, I'm really good at making blobs though ;) Thank you so much for this channel and your content, you're such an inspiration!
Stacy, thank you so much and WELCOME!!! I’m so happy to have you here!! Sooo, has hubby been eating PB &J because you’ve been watching videos and painting?!?!? Thank you for writing. I put out a new video each Friday so a new one this afternoon 🤗
@@sandihester Yes, he is eating PB&J because I am watching your videos instead of making dinner lol. Not quite that bad but close, hehe. I'm ready for a new video. I'm not quite an artist as much as I want to be, Your ideas have me inspired though
Stillman & Burn is my favorite sketchbook- I’m looking forward to trying out that flashe paint at some point! I like the idea of gouache but it dries too fast and acrylic is too transparent for me. I’ve been binge watching John Muir Laws videos get breaks down drawing and capturing fast when nature journaling.
Elin, you totally should try the Flash - all my artist friends who've tried it love it! I haven't heard of John Laws - looking forward to checking him out! I'm working on a sketchbook flip video now and it has a ton of my Flashe paintings in it so you will be able to see the beautiful flatness and colors in that video.
LOVED this video! My style of measuring... But,... how tall are you? Are you normal-sized, a bit smaller or a bit taller? 😏 What Is normal-sized?!! 🤔 I was chuckling so much I nearly peed myself! 🤣
Ur so awesome. Love ur face!!! Ok….some of my favs….do u know of Boku undo watercolor paints? Dark and muted ….lovely! I’m from India ..and I looked up flashe paints coz of you….bummer…it’s not available here,….or are prohibitively expensive. So I tried to unbreak my heart …and checked out some Matt mediums…..ha ha ha.
You said, with Flashe, "you can make it thick" -- can you tell me what you would add to thicken it? I'm guessing there's a Golden acrylic medium I'm not thinking of.
I really loved this video! I want to try flashe paint, never did. Maybe you will enjoy to know a bit about some artists that I like: Ekaterina Popova, Cinta Vidal, Jennifer Allevato, Natasha Newton, Genine Zlatkis, Zyra Bañez, Sara Faber and Happy D. Artist ❤️
I’m loving many, but two of my latest favorite RUclipsrs are Thea, who has two channels Her Billowing Heart and Heirloom Lux. You will be enchanted by both channels! ruclips.net/video/8TEzHFbTeIU/видео.html And Alex Curly, with the groovy hair...🤭😊 His first video is amazing! He makes his own paint! ruclips.net/video/FNPWkCOTxYk/видео.html
Girl! I am so happy to see your work. You may not know this, your work is amazing and full of life giving energy.thank you so much !

I agree to the grumpy comments 😂
Sandi you’re cracking me up talking about painting guns 😂😂😂 you’ve had me wanting to get flashe paint for ages. Someday 🫠
OMG! I must have laughed for 5 minutes when you talked about painting guns. Oh, I love you so, Sandy. YOu could have edited this part out, but left if in. You are so down to earth real. ❤❤❤
I’m SOOOOO glad it gave you a laugh!!!
“Ravishly watch all their videos”. Describes precisely what I’m going through with yours!
Jane!!! What?!?! You've watched them all???? Well goodness - THANK YOU!
@@sandihester not quite, but I’m getting there. Teehee, then I’ll start all over again!
Just found your channel I am binging your art videos love your work and love your home and style
I love Natasha Newton and I also love Angela Anderson 💕
Thanks so much Sandi for including my Creative Conversations in your favourite things!
You're welcome Melanie! I'm a new channel so I don't have many people watching yet but I have had some people reach out to via Instagram to tell me they will be checking several of the things out that I mentioned so hopefully you will get some activity from it!
You’re lovely! 😂❤thank you for sharing! 👩🎨🎨❤️
OMG Viva paper towels! I love them and have for decades. I love that you love them too.

I love the Laura Horn art podcast and the Unexpected Gypsy vlog! And now I have added yours to my list of faves!
Yay! Thank you!I can't remember if I've listened to Laura Horn - I'll check her out though!
Omg Sandi you crack me up!!! The bit with painting your gun or paint guns, I'm laughing out loud! This is my FAVOURITE video ever!

Sandi Hester Ooh!! Will have to check out Flashe for sure.
Would love to see an updated favorites video if you have any! Or also supplies that stood as tried and true favorites/things you consistently repurchase. I'm itching to get to the art store 😅
That's a good idea since I haven't done one in quite a while. I'll start a list and work on that for next year.
It's Sunday night and I have to wake up early for work. I'm grateful my commute is 10 feet to my desk because I've been binge watching your channel all day. I tell myself not to click, but here I am 😁 I really need to go to bed 🤗

Bought a LOT of Murthy’s for my cabinets, didn’t work so now I’ll use it for my brushes! Thanks!
I found you last week and I have loved and thoroughly enjoyed each and every video. You have such a kind soul and a beautiful personality.
Awe - thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that!
I enjoy PearFleur RUclips too! Fun favorites. Thank you!

Yet another great video 😀!!!! Please let me know if you’ve made a “taking care of brushes” video. Best wishes 😃
Yes, I do have a ‘how to clean your brushes’ video
First of all, I love your videos!!! Your studio is gorgeous too, so colorful and interesting, just like you! I’m into painting and mixed media arty stuff and love learning from you. I think the Flash paint description meant using the paint actually in a paint gun not on a gun, I think?

Just updating my comment because when I watched your video again you obviously knew about the paint gun oops!

Can't find the Shawn on RUclips that you are referring to. What should I be looking for?
That video was made a long time ago and I can’t remember exactly what I was referring to - possibly Furry Little Peach RUclips channel
Tip for really nice youtuber is Gem at The Colour Cave. I love her videos and her scottish accent.
Oh thanks! I'll check her out!
❤️❤️❤️
LOVED this video! My style of measuring... But,... how tall are you? Are you normal-sized, a bit smaller or a bit taller? 😏 What Is normal-sized?!! 🤔

You said, with Flashe, "you can make it thick" -- can you tell me what you would add to thicken it? I'm guessing there's a Golden acrylic medium I'm not thinking of.
Hmmmm, I think what I meant was by layering it you can make it thicker. I've never added a medium to it.
I really loved this video! I want to try flashe paint, never did. Maybe you will enjoy to know a bit about some artists that I like: Ekaterina Popova, Cinta Vidal, Jennifer Allevato, Natasha Newton, Genine Zlatkis, Zyra Bañez, Sara Faber and Happy D. Artist ❤️
I recognize a couple of them and will look the rest up - thank you!
I recognize a couple of them and will look the rest up - thank you!
What are your favorite colors for the Flashe paint? Blick is having a free shipping sale.. and I wanted to try some of this..
I have a whole video on my favorite colors and in that video I share my favs in Flashe paint. ruclips.net/video/GYoMIQRgwxE/видео.html

Try shop towels:)
Nice tip! Thank you.
Very cool I want to paint my gun but cami color
I’m loving many, but two of my latest favorite RUclipsrs are Thea, who has two channels
Her Billowing Heart and Heirloom Lux. You will be enchanted by both channels!

His first video is amazing! He makes his own paint!
