I am working on a number of Sandy Allnock’s classes and I am ordering more. I have taken several single project classes that cost the same as an online class. Sandy Allnock’s instructions are the ones I use for all the projects no matter the subject or medium. What i have learned turn cookie cutter things into things that come alive. No matter what you are doing, practicing Sandy’s instruction will make you better no matter what I do!!!
Your art is beautiful. Don’t listen to the bad reviews. I know I don’t have your capabilities, but I love watching you work and you inspire me to try more. Thank you for all you do.
I've always wanted to Bible journal but was always scared to ruin pages and if I'm supposed to gesso the pages or not this is so helpful thank you for explaining your technique, you are amazing sandy, love all your mediums work.
You absolutely are not a failure! I am not a fan of any social media and I miss the good ole days! You are a temple of the Holy Spirit and have been such an inspiritation to me! After moving to Portugal we didn't have an english speaking church when we arrived - Now we do! God is so faithful! Love you classes and have to finish the classes I have but will finish and will order more. We pray for you always!
You are a true artist, it is gorgeous what you create! Please, do not listen to people who are so unkind. It is hard but please just keep your light shining! You are a blessing and you make the world a better place by helping people acces their creativity. Making art is healing❤
I've been wanting to get not one, but all of the classes you offer. However the last 8 years haven't easy for me. But as soon as I get a job and get out of all of my current situation I would at least get one. I got so excited to see you had a bible journaling video that I just knew you weren't going to dissapoint. You're an amazing artist. NEVER-NEVER feel you're less than that, Sandy because you're the greatest and even though I've never taken any of your art classes you always teach me something either art-wise or life-wise. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
I have watched and learned from your videos and classes for years and learn something from you always. You are so talented and a great teacher, by taking your classes I have learned that I can draw, that I can blend and I'm loving your colored pencil jumpstart class that I'm taking at the moment, it's been a lot of fun and I really what to get better at it.. Although I love art and enjoy making cards I'm not the most talented or creative but you have helped me get better at it. I appreciate you, thank you.
Don’t ever believe that lie that you are a failure! Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that idea even entered your head. Seriously, you are at the top of my list of amazing artists. I am so grateful that you share your God-given gifts with us, your humble followers. See you in heaven!
Oooo! I loved this! Thank you so much for sharing it! I do something a little bit different -- a little bit the same. :) I call it my Sermon Journal. My local printer has a massive guillotine paper cutter and he cuts through composition books for me (across the binding making two smaller books). I then cover the books as I use up one and need another, using patterned papers and rubber stamps and doodling. Add fibers and doodads...whatever seems good. This becomes my actual sermon journal. I take it to church and make notes during the sermon of whatever moves or inspires or convicts. Then at home I sit and try to discover what the page should look like based on the notes. Often I have a stamp or two that are perfect. :) You can imagine how long it takes! I consider it my sabbath -- soaking in HIs word...applying it to my life -- and using the creative part of myself that He designed. Seeing your process and beautiful Bible journaling feels like an affirmation for me.!!!
Very insightful, and interesting. I have bought a journal and also a bible with heavier paper to give it a try. I was one of those people who was not sure about this, but I know God was the first creator, and I think it would be very much a way to link the creative and spiritual together. Sandy you are such an inspiration and super teacher.
I love your video and am inspired. I just fell and broke my kneecap and will be laid up for a while. The Bible journaling is a great idea to incorporate my daily devotions and my watercolor painting together. Bless you. ❤
I really found this helpful in all aspects. I 'want' to start bible journaling, but struggle with actually working in my bible. thank you for explaining all the different papers and mediums. So much good information.
I haven't journaled in my Bible, but I love seeing what others have done. It's very inspiring. I get what you're saying about journaling how and what God is speaking to you from His Word.
Absolute EXCELLENT video! The way you incorporated the overriding ideas and concepts so beautifully throughout, while expressing your thoughts seemingly effortlessly-I so appreciate the challenging nature of doing this-as I’m learning to tell stories in order to express ideas, and find this not at all a simple undertaking-plus, you’re teaching art SIMULTANEOUSLY! You’re so skilled!!😃 Of course this statement ignores the beautiful and obviously so masterful manner through which you have created the art shown in this video, as well! Tremendous work! I began learning to paint after becoming Saved five years ago; and when I find other Believers who create as you do, it furthers my awareness of the fact that so many artists today (and all the way back in history of course as well!) are faithful followers of Jesus Christ, & I suspect this is because God LOVES ART! If He didn’t, He never would have created the world to be as unimaginably beautiful and varied as it is🙌🏻❤️ Anyhow, I haven’t ever taken one of your courses so I cannot contribute to the review commentary unfortunately; however i just want YOU to know that your VIDEOS have not only touched me over the last year (since I began watching your channel) but I have also learned a LOT from your teaching here on You Tube-so thank you, Sandy!! If I can offer a wee bit of advice from one sister in the Lord to another? Please try to remember that whatever way social media has harmed your business (& I’m very sorry to hear this - as it always feels quite unfair and undeserved when such things happen) no opportunity will slow or come to a close without another coming alive, if we do our best to look away from the past and into the future of that which could be created. All things for God’s GLORY ultimately-right? I believe that the fact that you speak of Him openly and unabashedly within your videos during this tragic time in this world, with forces seemingly driving humankind to erase God’s presence from society more and more every day, speaks volumes for where your heart lies, and above all else, that is an enormous blessing for your life! Apologies for the lengthy comment and I hope I properly got my point across🙏🏻. I pray for you and wish the very best for you moving forward, Sandy!☺️🙏🏻
Thanks for this great video. I am retiring from my day job November 1sr, and I am so excited because I plan to do lots of art. I also am working to re-start our women's bible study because I have really been missing it. Now off to write a review!
I haven’t done any Bible journaling, but you are getting me inspired! I love the quote I noticed in your journaling on ‘Go Fish,’ ; ‘You catch, He cleans.’ That’s fantastic. God speaks to me in things I see around me. Because I don’t always write the messages down, they easily become lost. I started a blog called Worth-a-thought, but I’ve been pretty slack with it! I hear what you’re saying when you say that turning the camera on can switch off creativity. I’m the same as soon as I sit down to create a specific card for someone. At other thing I’d like to say I really appreciate about your videos, is the massive effort you go to to edit! Somehow you manage to include everything that is needed, without just turning the camera on and filming the whole lengthy process. (I don’t watch people who do that). ❤
Hi! I have several of your classes on the website. I couldn't find where to leave reviews on the website for the various classes. But - My favorite was the Copic Hex chart with techniques. I had so much fun learning all the different techniques. Runner up was Copic Journaling. I'm about half way through that one. These classes are so creative and put together. I even loved your polls for the website name, hehe. It was fun. Third is the Inky class. Those fish!!
Hi Sandy! I was hoping this was going to be about you returning to Bible journaling RUclips tutorials and reinstating the Facebook group! 😊💕 Your video comparing art journaling and Bible journaling was so interesting! I tend to skip the art journaling, but I see how it can be used as an aid to get your thoughts onto a page and to plan out the page to illustrate a Bible truth. And then when you think you’re ready, you can have your final thoughts with the illustration to do again in your Bible! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing how you process your work. 😊
You don't need to learn "how" to do journaling at all :) Just begin! Put some color on some paper, and write about what you're thinking about. Maybe there's an image, maybe it's just a swoosh of colors. Any medium works great! :) If you're interested in Bible journaling specifically I do have a couple classes on the Bible journaling page, but only one class for art journaling (and that's with Copics). The Gratitude Junk Journal class in November will be a good overview of how a lot of different artists approach journaling but be careful about getting overwhelmed and trying to buy all the supplies. You don't need much at all. I used some simple splashes of watercolor and a pen to make that one page, so you can keep it simple :0)
I’m not even doing social media and I feel the same way ( like I suck at this art stuff) then I get over it because it’s just a bad day and I’ll look through stuff that I have done ( like a class I taken form you) and I know I fine. You are making a differers.
I never thought about some of the things you mentioned with regard to bible journaling. I’m so glad you shared this. You’re so right it’s so personal and distractions interfere sometimes with what God is speaking to us. I love the Bible journaling but I just can’t get into journaling. I wasn’t good with righting in a diary as a kid either.
Absolutely fabulous illustrations. Gotta ask - All those *fantastic drawings* .... Are they _All created from your own mind_ ? Or Did you use _refrences_ from _photographs_ & you simply _copy_ ? (Copy from Another source) ? Your colour work is superb! Thank you

Say "thank you" Sandy - that is the well-mannered thing to do.
Your art is beautiful. Don’t listen to the bad reviews. I know I don’t have your capabilities, but I love watching you work and you inspire me to try more. Thank you for all you do.
I've always wanted to Bible journal but was always scared to ruin pages and if I'm supposed to gesso the pages or not this is so helpful thank you for explaining your technique, you are amazing sandy, love all your mediums work.
There's a ton of videos on my Bible journaling channel. I'm no longer adding to it, but there's lots of ideas and not one bit of gesso. lol

You always make a difference, I always liked watching you Bible Journal. You inspire all of us.
You are my inspiration when I get stuck creating unique cards and I loved the copic flower class I took during the pandemic.🤗

Absolutely blown away by your work. What a gift.

Sandy, I absolutely love this video!!!!! Thank you! 🩵
Love your positive attitude and our teaching skills. I feel good watching your videos.
I'm so glad!
Already have your Bible Journaling Book. Just signed up for a class ❤
You always inspire me! Thank you Sandy ❤

I don’t watch those either. It takes forever to edit bug it’s worth it 😍
Love your videos, Sandy! Greetings from Malaysia
Sandy, I enjoyed how you explained journaling. 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for this wonderful idea!!❤
Thank you for this video. I think I need to do this, perhaps my stress levels will dissipate.

I'm so glad! Welcome!
Thank you and bless you! ❤Struggles are a part of our daily journey and you just reminded me of that with this video.❤March on!!!🙏
Please don’t stop RUclips watercolor videos, I love them!
Wow beautiful
3:01 Sandy…❤
Absolutely fabulous illustrations.
Gotta ask - All those *fantastic drawings* .... Are they _All created from your own mind_ ?
Or
Did you use _refrences_ from _photographs_ & you simply _copy_ ? (Copy from Another source) ?
Your colour work is superb! Thank you
For some things I looked at photo references, but usually I stray far from it once I start creating.
I loved your bible journaling. My bible doesn’t have the blank space on the side. Text fills the whole page. Not sure how I could incorporate art on the page without covering the text.
That’s why I got a new Bible for journaling ❤️
