I have a crafty husband and about 2 years ago I was away for a few days and he had built me an art nook in the basement. I was so in love with it when I got home that I ended up falling askeep at the desk that night. Your husband is a sweetheart for encouraging you and finding ways to improve your space to enhance your creativity;and he lets you spread out all over the house. I've been so blessed to have found a husband that is all those things for me, too.
I wish you too a lifetime of happiness and creativity.
Your backyard is so AMAZING. I showed my husband and we are both loving it. Your home is situated just how we are hoping to have our future house. When you said someone could buy it and put condos I thought what a shane that would be. For now, though, your family as stewards of the land are loving it and keeping it beautiful and that is so wonderful. Sorry I sound so sappy lol. Have a great week and see you next time. 🙂
So glad you enjoyed the property views!!! We love it here sooooo much!
Even if the painting isn't finished, it actually encourages me to hear that you have been working at it for months. I think RUclips sometimes gives the impression that you do five paintings per day or at least one a day, maximum taking up to a week. That Life and Inspiration/Lack Thereof sometimes get in the way for professional artists, too, is heartening to me.
Thank you for encouraging me to “trust the process.” I love your videos and look forward to them. You help me not to take myself too seriously. I love the way you giggle. It’s contagious! I love that your house is your studio. Mine is the living room. Who needs a living room anyway!
Totally- living rooms get too much hype! 😂😂😂 I’m going to mention that to Grady 😂🤗
Love watching you and your process. You remind me why I love painting so much. ❤️
Awe - thanks Ruth!!!!
I'm LOVING your vlogs!! I feel like I have a good friend painting in the same room with me. I now live in the country away from a lot of people and I miss my art peeps from the bigger town I used to live in. Watching your vlogs makes me feel like I have a good friend to listen to and watch while I paint or sketch too. I love watching your process, I'm just now learning about gouache and having so much fun with it, you are giving me great ideas with the other art objects I have, I love mixed media and just playing around! PS: I REALLY LOVED the vlog you did that ended up in you sharing your cat sketches...we have 2 cats and I've been trying to put cats in my paintings too and seeing the million and 1 sketches you did gave me hope ha,ha...thanks again and ps: you have the cutest, funnest personality! thanks for sharing you with us too!!
What a great comment to get Christine!!! Thank you SO much for all the kind words!!
Finished or not, I love it! I have art supplies, books, etc. all over the house, too. Thank goodness for patient, supportive hubbies!!!
Amen!!
I love your prolific practices. Very, very inspiring. Thank you! No finished piece needed 🙂
🤗🤗🤗 thank you ❤️
I just had the opportunity to attend the open house for Erin Hansen’s new studio in Oregon. It was such an inspiration seeing her gorgeous paintings in real life. I’ve been in a painters prison for quite awhile now, but watching your videos gives me so much comfort. They make me feel like I can actually lose myself in the art world and forget the negative things in the outside world. Between your painting videos, your fun personality, and seeing Erin Hansen’s gallery and studio, I am feeling anxious to paint again. But the best part is, you are teaching me to not take things so seriously. Just jump in and have fun. Thank you Sandi. I love your work. You are an inspiration.
I just looked Erin up (hadn’t heard of her) and her work is stunning! I’m so glad you’re finding a way out of this art rut you’re in!
I just love your sketchbooks...and the fact that I could watch this on a Friday night in South Africa!!
Wow - Friday night in South Africa! Thank you!
Ohhhhh beautiful artwork in the sketchbooks Sandi 🐽😋😘
Thank you Deborah!
Guuurrrrrlllll, your property and home is so beautiful! What a gorgeous source of inspo! And I just love your resourcefulness☺️I’m with you on the old “Use what ya got and just get to it” attitude👏👏👏
Thank you Debbie! 🥰
Gorgeous I love it the watermelon colour
I love the colors in your sketches.
Thank you Michelle!
Even though the painting wasn’t finished, it was helpful to see the process, to hear your honesty about the challenges of getting back into painting after a short holiday. Seeing your house from the pond - that was beautiful. Your house reminded me of a descriptive scene from the children’s classic, Anne of Green Gables (one of my favourite children’s classic books). The white against the green looked so pretty. And your kitchen, I have to admit, I am a little jealous of. What a wonderful space. Thank you for another great vlog 🌳
Thank you Catherine!!! I LOVE Anne of green gables!!!!! What a compliment!
@@sandihester 🙂
I love the way you edit your videos; such humor, such fun! Thank you.
Thank you Sarah!!
Loved that large painting!! The colors!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Best time of the week! I’m so glad you took us outside with you today!
Awe - thanks so much Mags!!!!!
Your fortune cookie says, ' a new studio is in your future' where you can do workshops with l0 folks! I LOVE the colors in the painting - can't wait to see how it ends up.
I enjoyed the loooong goodbye too! What a gem you are! x
YES!!! I’ll let Grady know ASAP 😂
The green Walls are beautiful, please don’t change it!
I absolutely adore you and Grady and of course all of the animals.
I really like your hair up in the “bunny bun”. Keep making the videos, I put you on while I’m painting. Why? Because your videos have a soft talking voice, no loud obnoxious music and I love the country setting that your house is in. Take care ❤️
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying them!
Thanks for sharing this "project", Sandi --- I'm so inspired by all the colors you are using and I love where it is now, and am looking forward to the progress...no matter how long it takes!!!
Thank you Emmie!!! So glad y’all are patient (tolerant 😂) of me!
Happy moment? When you post a new video 😄 love it, makes me happy if just for one moment. I’m currently homeless working full time as a CNA (I’m an artist as well) with 3 beautiful daughters, my happiness comes from art and them and your wonderful videos with great and positive vibes! Thank you 🙏🏼
Awe - thank you!! ❤️
You have a pond full of water.lol.love your work.
Thank you!!!
The picture ist beautiful!
Don’t worry about not having a finished piece at the end, the process is important and fun to watch! I love your sketchbook works. This is my Sunday tradition now, rewatching this studio vlog while taking a break from sketching. When your video pops up on Friday I’m already in bed, but that’s a great way to end the week and fall in sleep peacefully :)
So nice to hear how you use and watch my videos - thank you so much! ❤️
Love the colors. I have many paintings that I come back to at some time. I also get bored with some and go for something new. ❤ Love seeing the outdoors and your pond with the birds singing all around. 🐦🙂
So glad you liked it Madelyn!!! ❤️
Those trees remind me of Cezanne’s trees! 😍
Ohhhh - that’s a big compliment!!!
Love the greens !
Thank you Petal!
All that painting water sitting in your pond waiting to be used!!!
Hi Sandi!Here I am again enjoying your videos! There something I really enjoy and look forward to. I'm in the process of making my own youtube channel and I've got to learn editing quickly?! I'm 56 so technology doesn't come fast to me. I remember the days when I played with my Barbie dolls. No phones or iPad then!! I kinda wish I could go back to those days. Anyways, maybe sometime soon I can share with you my youtube channel and videos! Thanks and take care!
Have fun with that Michele! I’m not good with technology either!
Ooooooooh love the pastel colours abstract
I love listening to your videos as I work on art myseldf! So relaxing and motivating :)
What a wonderful visit into your space and your pond! I was cracking up about the splashed paint on the den wall and your comment about an artist lives here! You are so funny and I enjoy watching your process, especially your thought process. Thank you again for another wonderful week of "Sandi, True Confessions of an Artist". tee hee.
I loved everything about this comment!!! 🤗
I'm so happy to be able to catch this one so fast!!! You motivate me to get to drawing!!!
So brave Sandi, you just jumped in - great job. Loved the acqua colour sketches, soft, loose and abstracted pond view - wonderful and inspiring as always.
I"m so glad to hear that!!!!
Thank you! That's the only way I know how to do it - jump in!
Always always love your process. So fun to see it in these early stages and all the changes you make so just keep on doing it Sandy. Love every minute. Glad Cooper is feeling better.
Thanks so much Paula!!
Hi Sandi - I was looking online tonight and found a website - Jeri Landers. She and her husband are Christians and they live in Rutledge, TN so probably not so far away from you. If you haven't seen her gardens or her felted birds, I think you would enjoy seeing them. Hope you are
having a WONDERFUL week. It's still VERY hot here in the high desert of the Southwest. Oof. x
Michele thank you for recommending Jeri - I can’t wait to look her up!!
Grabbed my cup of coffee and sitting down to watch the video I wait for all week...thanks Sandi..!!
EEEEEEE! I hope you enjoy it Marie!!!!
Yay! A sandi Vlog😁😁😁
EEEEEEE - hope you enjoy it!
My art place is in the dining room and it's an open design so like everyone sees my mess. Oh well. Like you said, "an artist lives here." Love love love the trees! Can't wait to see finished piece 😊
Thank you- I can’t wait to see it either. I almost started back on it today but didn’t 😔
I look forward to your videos every Friday and this is another stunner! Love all your images of the pond, most especially your use of colour. Thanks Sandi.
I’m so glad Jane!!! ❤️
I do not know whether you intentionally got arty with Cooper’s hair but the clump on the ground…if you look at it side on is a miniature representation of him! I had to take a screen shot and rotate it! It’s sooo cute.
😂
I'm so happy that your subscribers and views are growing. You're so talented and deserved the love and admiration you're getting.
Awe - thank you so much ❤️
I’d love to follow your process on designing a new studio! Great video!
I’ll let grady know ASAP! 😂
Not finished but heading that way....so loving our visits!!!
The ironing board brought back memories of me playing office as a kid on my mom's ironing board. LOL
😂😂😂 I love that!
Love looking at your sketchbooks for ideas and techniques. Your work is so inspiring
Thank you!
Yes, that's the way I see it. An artist lives here. I have a bedroom that was my art studio but I've been so blessed with supplies. That room is now an art supply room and I started using my dining room to paint in. I made so many paintings that it's now a painting storage space. Now I paint in my bedroom but I clean up my art mess every time and put things away when I finish for the day. I have carpet and if my acrylics get on the carpet I just get it really wet and clean it up fast and it's not a problem. I do have some colorful sheets from spills past but an artist lives here.
Just discovered your channel and was watching last years one about how your channel is slow growing and you asked for help, ideas and shares. I noticed you don't put hashtags on your videos, that's probably why you haven't came up on my feed which is all art related. Also your channel is not cohesive which the algorithm doesn't like. I personally LOVE your channel and tell everyone to watch it. You are a hidden GEM! Can you please make a PATREON channel, I would pay for your vlogs and content.
Welcome and thank you for watching! I actually put hashtags in the 'tags' area. I guess you're referring to putting them in the description? I don't know of people that do that. Thank you so much for sharing - I really appreciate that!
Love seeing all the ideas you made from the pond painting to make your large painting
Thank you!
I have never spent so much time measuring canvas. I usually build the stretcher first. Toss it down on the unrolled canvas and cut around it. You are amazing! I spoke too soon. YOu just said that you haven't ordered the bars yet. LOL
Well Sarah, that’s a great idea - to put the stretcher bars down first - not sure why I don’t do that - ohhhh, yea, it’s because I usually don’t put those together first. I should do that!
hi! I'm normally a quiet subscriber but I really felt the need to comment today. thank you so much for being such a huge inspiration for me! I've been in a serious art slump for the last four or five months, and as art is really my only hobby, it's been a very boring time without it. but thanks to you and your videos, I've finally felt that I'm getting out of my slump and I feel excited to create things again. I've been doodling more in my sketchbook and playing with my materials in ways I wouldn't before! I've been feeling a lot better mentally with art in my life again. I tend to create original characters and storylines with my art, as I am starting to make a horror comic, but I love taking a step back from that stressful stuff and just playing with art :D it's so fun to doodle in my sketchbook as I watch your videos, as they're very relaxing and make me feel less lonely as I'm isolated. thanks so much again for all that you do!! I really appreciate you and your work :) that's all, have a great day :D
You can totally be a quiet subscriber!! I do appreciate you writing and sharing these things! I’m so glad you’ve found some Inspiration here - thanks so much for sharing!!🤗
I really love the ‘unfinished’ ones you refer to as abstract in the large sketchbook! Particularly the one that you said you like in the pinky tones…the pond has such a light reflective quality to it.
Thank you!
So, I have no idea how I found you on RUclips, but I am so glad I did. I just love your videos, your process, your " an artist lives here house''. I am grateful for all the tips on how to be loose and info on journals, paints, etc etc. SO thank you for being in this space! I must admit to going down the rabbit hole and binge watching during our latest lockdown (I live in Australia). :)
Welcome Mari!!! I’m glad I could be a bit of entertainment for you during the lockdown!!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!!!!
Love this look into an artist’s life! Love the large format - the painting is looking great!! 😁❤️
Thanks so much Lynda!!
The painting is looking so good, it's so interesting to watch your process. Glad Cooper is feeling better, huge hugs for him. 🤗💖😊
I’ll give him all the hugs for you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it Julie!!
Another great video with lots of fun & laughs! I just crack up in every one of your videos ~I love 'em! 👌😘❤️
I’m sooooo glad they give you all the laughs!! Win!
Love love love your videos!
Not sure if you are interested in this but......I recently purchased the King Art gel sticks ($14 at TJ Maxx) and they are perfect for going out to paint something quick and loose. I went out to our pond this morning with a little fishing seat that has pouches for stuff and folds up along with these gel sticks and a small sketchbook. While I wish I brought a book with smooth paper I really enjoyed using the sticks and was happy with my sketch. Soooo much easier than paint in the wild. Also, I drew (painted?) a sunset with these and another one with my Gelatos and I could NOT see a difference between the two. I like these better because of the color choices and they blend just as easily as Gelatos.
Anyway I know you like fast, loose sketching and I think you'd love these as much as I do.
Ohhhhh, those sound amazing!!! Thanks for sharing!
It's beautiful
Super happy to have found your channel 🥰 Your creative soul is soo special and I can soothe myself through watching your amazing videos 😍
I'm on the path to explain my real nature in the art I make and your spontaneous gives me inspiration to connect and express my inner child without fears 🧡🌈 Cheers from Italy 🌷
Your videos are my treat at the end of the week! Love the pond sketches - they’re beautiful! Just got back from camping where my kids and I got up to some fun nature sketching. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration! 🙌❤️
Ohhhhh - nature sketching ❤️❤️❤️
The large painting is beautiful so far! I love the colours and the ‘feel’ of it. Makes me want to step inside it and wander around ❤️
Awe - thanks!
Too fun! Then fast forward to August 2022, and Sandy's giving us a tour of the new studio; "Y'all, here's our old garage..." lol! 🤣
YYYYYEEEESSSS! It will be - this use to be our house but it’s now my studio and we’re living in the camper 😂
Now that’s funny LOL
@@sandihester That sound wonderful! Lol, although your house is truly a lovely home, and I know you wouldn't give it up quite that easily 😉
I think for me, the dock needs a little more perspective, or narrowing down. It looks like you're looking at the top of it, which is maybe what you wanted but I think that's what's throwing it off for me. I also recently tried using water with my soft pastels on watercolour paper and it gave a really different effect.
This was fascinating. I learned so much. It was FUNNY too! ;-)
Big Fun and informative! Nice work....
Thanks babe! Thanks for letting me ruin our house 🙃😬😂
My outdoor painting is always a mess as well but definitely makes a great reference and the memory of doing it outside stays with me while I paint the final piece.
I love your red pink landscape sketches, great video.
Thank you Nick!
Ok. Now I want to paint. 🤓
🤗🤗🤗
Like this practical approach🧡 superb
Thank you!
Really loved seeing your sketchbook and how you use the materials to create the watercolour effect. Thank you for sharing! :)
I’m so glad you liked it!
As always, a joy
🥰
Painting Big is SO fun!
SOOOOOOOO fun!!!!! I'm totally addicted!
Loved seeing all the studies of the Pond in your sketchbook! And curious as to how the big piece will turn out!
Thank you! I’m curious how the big piece will turn out too. Still haven’t gotten back into it 🙃
Yay!! I've been waiting for this one. I've been so excited to see the big painting you've been working on. It looks AH-mazing!!
Thanks Michael!!!! I hope I can finish it - I'm still in 'stand still' mode - ugh!
@@sandihester I’m sure you will when the time is right! 🙌🏻💕
My cat Finn (#finntern) walked through some gesso and across my studio's hardwood floors. (originally the "library" in our house) The paw prints are so cute I couldn't bear to clean them so I pretended I didn't see them until they dried. A Mr. Clean magic eraser does wonders on my trim and baseboards if you really need to get rid of splatters...Love your videos!
Ohhh- good tip - thank you!!
Hi Sandi,I’m here going through the process with you.....all the enthusiasm,slop the paint on,trying not to overthink,hate that stage too,the beginning is great because it’s the great unknown!Loving how your colours are growing,stand and look...I thought I could see Coopy in the foreground on the right 🤣.Ive ordered some caran dashe water soluble crayons after seeing you use them in your sketchbook,I already have non water soluble which are great for doing a wash on top,so excited to get those.Terrific video as usual,hope coops better now.x
Awe - thanks so much for everything in this comment Wendy!!! I really appreciate it! Let me know what you think about the water soluble ones!
Will do .
Maybe, sometimes, it's not about finishing at all, and it's just about doing. And your doing is beautiful.
So true! And thank you!!
I totally see the dock.
Oh good!!!!
wow
Just such a wonderful video , thank you , everything about your videos makes me smile and is so inspiring ☀️
🤗🤗🤗 so glad!!
you have a pond, im so jealous lol any fish in it?
yep its an artist's house, paint everywhere is almost required lol
no finished painting, but it might be finished for next week 😀
There are fish in it!!! It won’t be finished by next week 🙁 I still haven’t touched it.
I would be fishing almost every day (catch and release of course). it will be finished one day, dont rush it or start to worry about it 🙂
Great video
Thank you!
Beautiful place
I love that other people can see things in other peoples artwork, even if that’s not what she meant by it. However, it is clear to say that that is a little raft going out into the water a little pier. It definitely doesn’t look like a horse, unless you’re a little bit tipsy and you’re squinting and you’re looking from it very far away.
I saw it as a deck!
Me, too! But maybe for the "art-challenged", another "leg or two" under the deck will assist! 😉😂
I wish I could paint outside but it’s been in the 90’s here in NY 😅😭
Yea, it's getting really hot here too now!
I love that blue shape that you made and I really, really, really want it to become a hippopotamus. Please?
That’s probably not going to happen but it did give me a good laugh!
I'm back with a question. I noticed when you were flipping through your sketchbook, you sometimes left blank pages between sketches. I just noticed another artist (Emma) doing this as well. Is this just to help protect the sketch?
The sketchbook you saw me doing that in is inexpensive and has thin pages so there’s bleed through or I’ve used water soluble crayon or pencil on the other side and don’t want to “reactivate it” with wetting the other side of the page
Hi Sandi. would you possibly be doing any more stuff on going big? I purchased 2 REALLY big canvases (100cm x 100cm) and I realised that I have no idea how to deal with perspective and just larger shapes! I need some inspo :-)
I’ll be sharing more on the large one I’m currently working on but I’m figuring out big myself! I’m just jumping in and figuring out what I like. But o don’t worry much about perspective 😆
It's pretty
Boa noite linda sempre uma satisfação assistir seus vídeos plein air lugar paisagem linda
Do you have videos with all your sketchbook art? I saw a few pages of flowers and was very pretty.
I have several sketchbook tour bodes
“Videos”
I LOVE your loose paintings Sandi, but for some reason I just do not like Idris Murphys paintings at all! Yours have so much more feeling to me ❤
I love your house , don’t sell it ! It is beautiful ! But if you do I want it Lol 😂 ! I live 35 minutes away from you !!!! My studio is a shed, I would so want to have one in my house with a sink !!!
That’s so cool that you live near here Steyla!!! Unfortunately we’re not selling at this point!
Oh my.. Watching this beautiful video about your wonderful art, your life and amazing property, but the thing my ADHD brain get hung up on, is that some of Coopers fur on the ground actually looks like him... 🤷♀️ Do you think I get sidetracked often....? Yeeeeahh... 🙈
😂
the problem with idris murphy's work is it doesn't pass the dumpster test. That is, if you saw one of his pieces propped up against a dumpster, not knowing it was his, ready to be hauled away as trash, would you want to take it home? And i can say with great confidence - no one would want to save it.
A BEATIFUL PAINTING THE TREE, WHO IS THE NAME OF THIS PAINTING?
It's bigger... are you meant to have it finished?
OH MY GIRL JAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJJAJAJJAJAJAJJJAJJAJ DABUTEN.
What’s an ironing board😂
😂😂😂🤪
