I FREAKED OUT at the changes as they occurred, BUT I LOVE the final painting. 😆🤩😊
I love it all, that christmas tree ! xxx
Thank you Deborah!
That was great! What I liked most about the painting was you letting us in on the process... Johnny, the black cat is my second favorite thing. Nice job!
Thanks babe!
Thank you again for inspiring me beautiful lady.
🥰 you’re very welcome!!!
SANDI, I am a new subscriber. I love your paintings! They are filled wuth beautiful color like a great Mattise!
Awe - thanks Judy! AND welcome!!!
Thank you, again, Sandi -- I absolutely love learning from you. I adore the concept of being rewarded for looking.....I could go on a lengthy diatribe about how the attention economy has eroded our ability to look deeply at things (and people) but I'll spare you that. 😂. I think that art should be gazed at....spent time with.....and it should make us pause and consider. Anyway...I think your plugs are pure magic -- they're the first thing i look for lol -- and the fact that the toast spoke to you, spoke to *me* because I GET that! I just can't express how much I appreciate these videos...they're my weekly dose of inspiration and cheerleading all rolled into one. 🦄
MELANIE!!! This comment cracked me up and encouraged me - thank you!! I’m THRILLED that you look for my plugs 🙌. I can hear Grady now when he reads this comment “oh boy” - that’s what he’ll say 😂. That is so fun! Thank you so much for your kind kind words ❤️❤️❤️!!!!!
Sandi dear, I love this video and hearing your thoughts while you follow your deeply intuitive process. It's a glorious thing to witness. This particular comment moved me. "I think art should be gazed at...spent time with...and it should make us pause and consider." How very beautiful that is. I enjoy so much reading through everyone's thoughts after the videos. You've got a lovely thing happening here on YT. xo
Totally agree!!! Thank you for your kind words!
Wow!!!! Watching your video, guiding us through your process is certainly rewarding. Love your whimsical approach Sandi but at the same time including objects that have meaning to you. Painting when tired and hungry will see toast appear. 😂❤️
This cracked me up! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos though Kathleen!!!
I love it all! esp…color of table and the car with pink nose!🤗🙌🏼👏🏻
🤗 thank you Dawn!
Love the cat “under the table.”
🙌❤️
The rug banana and strawberries are my favorite! Thinking of y’all ❤
You are a brilliant teacher, thank you 🙏!
I came back to this video again because a lot of what you do and say in this video has stuck with me! love this video! kind of feeling and going through the same. I have two paintings that are stuck…so this helps to look at it with different eyes…thanks Sandi
Well, that means a lot Gwen! I’m so glad this video resonated with you- thank you for sharing that ❤️
I love when you put windows in your paintings. It gives the painting more depth and continues to REWARD LOOKING. Maybe you could do an "out the window" series after the under the table series.
It’s fun to do some “landscape “ in the painting - lately I’ve been cramming all the subjects in one painting 😂
Also, the idea of referring back to older compositions is genius!!
Thank you - I do that allllllllllllll the time! My older paintings and sketchbooks are invaluable to me!
“Linger a little longer””love it”❤
Love this!
Thank you!!
The painting 🖼 it looks beautiful!
Thank you!
I like the rug, the plug, car under the table’s face, the apples, the fruit on the plate, and the strawberries!
Thanks so much!!
I love watching your process, how things changed and evolved. When you took a 🖍 I was like really? Are you going to mess with your windows? You have so much patience and it paid off. I love the cats, the cereal box for kitties, 😂
I do love the wall electrical plug and all the little details you added. I didn’t like that the cats in the windows disappeared, then the windows, then a house and the pond came back, 😅 almost like watching a movie. Thank you for the lesson in persistence. Xoxo
That cracked me up about “it’s like watching a movie” 😂😂😂
great content, sandy !!
Thank you 🤗
Another successful painting!! I love, love, love the table color and the behind of the black cat is adorable!!!!
Thank you Trish!!!
Love your paintings. I especially love the cats and I too love plugs. The green was the book. What inspired you too do still life's of your home and all the wonky cute objects. That is so genius. You have really inspired me to try loose painting. I have done a few faces. I still love my detailed work, but I can see how the loose painting can stretch me in different ways as an artist. I am such a perfectionist and that can really make me overthink a painting to death. I can already tell by just doing three loose paintings when I start to over think. The one will really stand out. Thank you for making me smile. I hope your health is being healed. I just saw that medical device in one of your videos. My Mom has dementia and has ended up in a nursing home with physical problems too. You are definitely a God sent to me. I am stressed out and depressed over family health issues. Going crazy!!!! But you make my load just alittle bit lighter. Just wanted you to know that. Thanks for all you do. 🙂🙂❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Awe, Madelyn - thank you so much for writing and sharing these things. I am so sorry to hear about the things going on with your family and the stress it's causing. I'm glad this space is giving you a little lift at times though.
I love Johnny going under the table to check out the other cat. And the cat cereal box, great change. The cat painting on the wall with part of him on the table. The window and outdoor scene. The Christmas tree, everyone needs a Christmas tree in their home in March! 😻 guarantee the cats 🐈 love it! I enjoyed your pod cast with Margaret Petrie, very much.
Thank you Fran!!! I agree - I may need to put more Christmas trees in my paintings - they just make you happy don't they?! Thank you for listening to the pod cast!!!!
Love how you let us tag along. I really enjoy hearing what you are thinking, and watching you make decisions along the way. I adore how this painting turned out!!!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful! I love that you kept (for now) the scene of the cats out of the window and both plates of fruit! The tree and plug in the corner add so much!!
You know me well - I got tickled when you said "for now"
sweet sweet
❤️
I think your painting is ADORABLE and so much FUN!! I really like the black cat walking under the table. I also enjoyed the cherries in the jar, the plug and the Christmas tree. I'm so glad you didn't take the Christmas tree out! I love how you just kept going until you worked your way through it. I feel like I get to that point every time I paint. If I just keep looking and painting I'm happy with it in the end! I've never tried your style of painting, but I'm thinking I'm going to give it a whirl!!! You are so INSPIRING!!!!
Thank you Molly! I'm so glad you're finding some inspiration here. Thank you for your kind words about my work too!
So enjoy your process and serendipity. And Yes! The plug sockets!!!
so glad!!!! thank you!
Glad you saved all the cats. Very inspiring. I love the table colour. Your process is very interesting to watch.
Thank you Darcy!
I absolutely ADORE this painting. Your videos and work are so fun and inspiring. I love that you don't take yourself too too seriously. Thank you so much for sharing your work!
Thank you Staci!
I am so loving being able to peek into your creative world. It's a highlight of my week!
Awe - thank you!!! I really appreciate that! I'm inspired by your videos too!
LOVE it! I'm so happy that you kept the cats. There is something about the colour and composition of the cats; they really adds to the painting.
Yes! Thank you!
This is one of my favorite vlogs you have published, I come back to it every so often. And I know this was published ages ago but I'm wondering if you could mention in one of your newer vlogs the artist(s) who are painting while thinking of "rewarding the looking" of the viewer. This way of thinking while I'm painting has really impacted my ability to have fun and move past decision fatigue.
It has also influenced how I am a viewer when I visit an art museum (my sis and I just finished up a week in the Seattle area where there are some wonderful museums and small collector galleries where we both practiced moving through the exhibitions slowly!)
Love all the sharing you give to all of us in the painting community! Thank you!
Deborah thank you for sharing this! I’m not even sure I could remember who those artists where that where inspiring me in this back then.
Loving the playful, laid back approach to your paintings. Oh and the colors too!
Thank you so much!
I know this is an old video but yesterday after watching your latest substack post, I was really thinking about how your art rewards the viewer for looking and now I find this today! I wish I could remember the name of the artist I first heard it from, but it often pops into my head when I'm looking at your work.
New to your channel and loving the process. Great colors love how the painting turned out.
Welcome!!! So glad you’re enjoying it!!!
Cat cereal...LOVE it! And I totally enjoy the fun finds in a painting. Love to spend long days at the Art Institute of Chicago (not during covid).
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I would love to spend long hours there too!!!
@@sandihester you would get a bazillion more sketches in than I do! I'm still pretty "precious" and "fussy". That's why I'm so in love with your videos and process! May I ask a question? If you don't want to answer I totally understand. When did you switch to going so loose? Was there something that prompted you? Really cool,and kind of brave...is that the right word? Sounds kind of ignorant on my part probably. I'm just so inspired and still hesitant.
@@MSKCCooke no, not ignorant at all - you asked that well! It was pretty early on. I really quickly that I didn’t like how I felt (all tense) after painting and I also realized the art I was drawn to most was loose and then quickly realized that it wasn’t easy to do. I mean, I still have to put “rules” in place for myself sometimes- like, don’t step over the line, use my non dominant hand, hold the brush at the end , etc Does that answer your question?
@@sandihester yes it does! Thank you. If not enjoying it,why do it?
@@sandihester and the rules aren't really rules as much as guides, I think. And btw, your video editing skills are equally awesome!
Love the toast and apples on the plate💕
Thank you!
Hi Sandi, I loved the video, the power of persistance and letting go at the same time. I loved the little guy with the tiny arms and the white plate with the fruit. But really it is joyously lovely :)
Thank you so much Gaye!! ❤️
I like looking. Reminds me of the Easter Eggs others include in their work - always my fav
Yes! Thank you so much!
this was super fun Sandi ! love love love following your process and hearing you say what you really like/love about a painting without self-consciousness. almost as if it's something that happens outside of you. i wish i knew how to say this better. like the painting takes on a life of it's own. and you're there helping it become what it wants to become. and because it has it's own life it's almost like you don't take credit for it-you just respect and honor this creation. Anyway. The two kitties --i kept seeing that little window square as a complete painting. sort of a semi abstract of two creatures in the woods. i assume ( maybe you said this ) you were using the golden fluid mat paints ? and that it was on paper not canvas? thanks again !!
Just, what a great comment to get - thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoy hearing me process it. I think one of the things your seeing me do is that I’m at a point with my painting that o know when somethings working and when it’s not - I’m pretty good now at being able to see the issue - I may not always not how to fix it but I do know at least how to “erase” it 😂. I’m having so much fun with this new style of painting!
Oh, and yes - on paper with my Golden fluid matte acrylics.
Love it ❤
I love your artwork. I enjoy and learn from you explanation of the process your going to take, maybe 🤔. We all worry about our “bad’ artwork. Made me think about Walt Stanchfield, “We all have 10,000 bad drawings in us. The sooner we get them out the better.” And you are showing us how the bad and make them good! You are so awesome, young lady. I was worried I wouldn’t live long enough to get the 10, 000 bad drawings out of me to get to the good ones.....that worry is gone. God love you and keep you safe and well. In my heart,prayers and thoughts.…~ love Fran P.S. I would love to watch your videos unedited they can’t be too long from me. 😁
You're so sweet Fran! I cracked up at the part about the unedited videos - you guys would appreciate my edited videos so much more if I showed you what I'm dealing with in the raw form - all my ums, long pauses, loud breathing, and who knows what else !!!!!!
I really like hearing your thoughts as you paint. And, thank you for introducing me to the idea of making looking at a piece a reward. I mean I usually find looking at color very pleasurable, but now I’m going to be a “detective” as I gaze.
I love that Adrian - a detective!!!!!
I wish I had bread in the house so I could have some toast😋I loved watching this evolve, I might have given up and I am so glad you kept going; sometimes it pays to walk away and come back with fresh eyes. I LOVE the cat cereal, ty for saving them!
That is so funny!!! I'm glad you liked the cat cereal - it makes me smile when I see it!
❤️ this painting and all of your little touches. The colors are great. Fascinating how you edit a painting the way you do. It’s so much fun!
Awe - I’m so glad you liked it 🙌. Thank you for taking time to tell me ❤️
loooove the cats and the cherries
Thank you!
Hi Sandi! Love you art and your videos. Only recently discovered you on RUclips. The positive side of you being a hidden gem until a few weeks ago: there’s already a whole lot of videos to watch. Just finished watching Studio vlog 20. You’re such a great artist AND storyteller! I had to laugh sooooooo hard with that angel story. 🤣🤣🤣 💕 Lots of love from Belgium! 👩🏻🎨
Well welcome Tina!!! I’m so glad to have you here and thank you for watching so many of my videos 🙌. I’m really glad you are liking them and I’m thrilled you liked the angle story 😂!
Love this video!!!! Thanks for inviting us into your studio time❤️
Of course - it's my pleasure!!
I usually go backwards with my paintings. I start out real quick with a ton of stuff going on, and then end up with something like what you had at 0:09. I liked all the stages!
Thanks for your honesty. Wonderful info and so fun!
I’m so glad! Thank you!
Love this painting Sandi everything about it speaks to me love the cats nails yes! The apples ❤️
Thank you Debrah!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love how this painting turned out! I loved the part of the process before you added more detail to the rug and extended out from the table (although I still love the finished result!) where it looked like the cat was in his own little night-time galaxy under the table :)
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!
The plug was the first thing I noticed! It's the type of detail that is noticeable when it's there, because it's usually noticaeble for its absense (like people going to the toilet in books, they never do). I like your idea of the reward of looking. I think my art dares people to not look away (especially the rawer stuff), although to be honest, with the whole scrolling culture of taking in art online, I'm the worst for not actually staying with stuff for longer than a few seconds. I might actually set aside some time each week, like 15 minutes with a cup of tea, to really look at only a few paintings (or maybe even do that with my own... wow there's a slightly uncomfortable thought).
I'm so glad I came here, I legit just spent 20 minutes looking for you (I follow you on IG because someone recommended you when I asked for art vloggers to follow, I think, but then I forgot your name, and this morning when I wanted to start watching one of your vlogs I had no idea where to look, so I looked through my 'people I follow' on IG, and COULDN'T FIND YOU, I legit had to go through the list 3 times BUT I AM HERE NOWWW!!!)
Thank you for the inspiring video!!
Oh my - well, that is real dedication and I hope it was worth all that looking!!! I've been so tickled that people are enjoying my plugs - whooorah! Thanks for writing - I really appreciate your comment and thoughts!
I loved this video this week Sandi. Once I got home from teaching I got excited about your video. I loved the cat cereal, such a brilliant idea! I also thought hiding part of the black cat under the table was a good idea too. That really accentuates the title of your painting series, under the table. Such a wonderful series, you really knocked it out of the park. Thanks for bringing us along in your process. Every time I watch you videos I wanna paint so bad. Have a blessed and restful weekend.
Awe, what a great comment to get ❤️!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and like seeing the process! I’m also glad the videos make you want to go paint! Have a great weekend!
I LOVE your plugs. I’m allowing YT’s algorithm to sort the order of your videos and have been looking for them in each painting, so am unsure when I first noticed one. I’ve found myself sad when they don’t appear (I know it’s a painting of birds- but still!!!). So interesting to hear you talk about both intentional looking and the joy of painting the plugs in this video. Excited for your website and anticipating a shop.
That is so funny "I know it's a bird painting" - but looking for the plug :)!!! So glad you are enjoying the videos so much Jane!
Thank you for sharing your process and struggles so openly. I’m working on moving from painting just for fun to start to sell and I really felt your struggle in getting started on the messy stage and what to keep and what to let go of. Makes me feel like I’m probably on the right path, the struggle is just part of it. Social media usually makes things look so easy and effortless. I really appreciate that you share reality. I’m loving the cereal box the most. But the power outlet and flower clippers are also favourites
Linda, I'm so glad you've found this space to be encouraging and helpful! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!!!!
Your love of bananas makes me giggle.
🤗
I'm listening to your podcast! Part of your star quality is that you are so genuine. I love ALL of your art. Sometimes I feel like a stalker! I just don't want to miss anything... I heard you mention hash tags on Instagram....but I do understand they will help you to reach a larger audience like mentioning what's in the actual piece, i.e. #whimsicalcat #sillyfaces, things like that. I'm so glad I found you and I found you through another artist mentioning you on Instagram. So there you go!
Thank you so much for listening to the podcast - whoohooo - I really appreciate it!! Thank you for all the kind words!
Love your videos. Every time I see your paintings they make me think of Gabriele Münter whom I love a lot aswell. Maybe it's your stile or maybe the way you use the colors...
Thank you so much Lisa!!! That's quite a compliment too - thank you!!!
I love how an object will look so simple, almost like a blob of colour and then you go closer and see all the colour magic happening in your work. I totally get you with that plug 🔌 btw. I had the same thing with the last miniature photo scene I made. I made a plug for it and was desperate to keep it in the final pictures. It's the last post on my Instagram (fionasimagination) if you want to see it. That's my favourite kind of art. The art where you keep finding more and more secrets everytime you look. No matter how long you spend looking at it there is always something more to see. Even as a child I was known for spotting the hidden things. The child that finds the toad living in a fairy hole in an old mossy root...
I think my husband thinks I've lost my mind with these plugs :)! Glad someone else gets it!
Also if you just leave the window with the cats outside and make the other two windows with just grass and sky that will also inspire you more with the three window scene. xo
I love your style! Its the opposite of mine...
I have a hot mess. It faces the wall right now. Lol! Save the cats! In editing books they say Murder Your Darlings!
Thank you! Yikes - that sounds intense "murder your darlings" - woowzer!
Lol! Fiction depends on drama!
I’m so glad to have found your channel. There’s always a joy about your paintings. I noticed you use Golden Matte acrylics. Did you know that they just came out with SoFlat Matte that comes in tubs (the way you prefer)!
Thank you - I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel ❤️! I do know that - I actually reached out to them to see if they’re and me some to try for you guys and they said yes! So that will be coming in the future!
I love it! You are inspiring me to put more into my compositions. I've gotten too fixated on being zoomed in but I am excited about zooming out again. I've been trying to guess at the size of your paper pad.....I've been trying to find oil/acrylic paper that is 18x24 or more.
I’m not in the studio at the moment but I think it is around that size. AND I just use watercolor paper!!!!! Sometimes I gesso it and sometimes I don’t. The brand is Canson XL.
I like it a lot. Very fun. And, no offense, I'm so glad you got rid of the green book that said BOOK.
This cracked me up so much 😂! Totally agree though!
Really loving your videos. Just found you recently. Really interested in what you are painting on? paper?
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos! I can’t remember what I’m using in this video but it’s probably paper or a sketchbook
Hi Sandi, I have a question about process.. when you do something like a table top, do you put in the items on it first and then paint the table top? or do you paint the whole table top and paint items over the top of it.. Sorry stupid question but Im learning top paint and im curious about how others do stuff.
I never paint the whole surface (whether it’s a wall or floor or table, etc. It would make the other things look pasted on
Did you realize that you painted the same Christmas tree on your painting that’s on your Christmas tree coffee cup? hehe! I do that subconsciously all the time!
That’s funny!!!! I did NOT realize that 😂
Also, I'd love to know what the paints are that you use? They look so nice and matte and kind of 'flat' unlike regular acrylics.
I usually mention in my videos what I'm using because I do work in MANY different mediums but in this one for some reason I don't think I mentioned the paints - I also almost ALWASY list in the description a link to the products I use - just so you know in past videos and future videos that that's the case. These are Golden Fluid Matte acrylics - I typically hate acrylic paint but I found these recently and I LOVE them. I also really really like Flashe paint which is a vinyl paint and is gorgeously matte
@@sandihester Thank you that is great to know. And omg I had no idea golden did matte acrylics! I'll have to look into them.
@@iris-impressions-art yep - they do! I really like them too!!!
the hidden kittens s2
I just got caught up with all the videos and feel so sad I can no longer binge watch now... uggg
Wow!!! Well THANK YOU so much for binge watching 🙌🙌🙌!!! I’m glad you’re enjoying them that much ❤️
Have you ever painted on used tea bags?!
No
Where are those overalls from? Levi’s?
Yes
Ayy nooo! You poured the dirty water into the sink! The toxins go to the same source from which we drink and the treatment plants are not able to eliminate them. They also reach our ecosystem. I think that with the information that there is we should be more responsible, Sandy, I am not saying this with bad intention
Oh my god, did you pour the contaminated water down the sink? I also paint and I never do. Very toxic and dangerous.
Would you share what you do with your paint water?
@@sandihester Of course! With a funnel I put it in a large empty plastic water bottle, and when it is full I take it to a recycling point. I also rinse tools and clean brushes in a small bowl and pour it into the bottle. I hope to fill several 5 or 8 liter bottles before taking the trip to recycling. ;) Maybe there are more ways that someone knows, at the moment it is the most comfortable I found. Sorry for my english is not my language
@@Sam-wf9kh thanks so much for sharing Sam! You did great with your English!
@@sandihester 😊😍
You have too many a square shaped in there. That’s what’s causing you to get stuck and be uninspired. Make the table round and then you will be inspired again. xo
Good tip! Thank you
@@sandihester 🙌🏽💕
Hi Sandi, I'm a painter and I never, ever throw my dirty water down the drain. Please, you have to be more ethical.
Would you share what you do with your paint water?
@@sandihester I wash brushes in a bottle with turpentine and then immerse them in another with hot soapy water and wash them well. These cans I pour into a large empty paint can and let it dry in the open sun. I let it rest to reuse the paint jar, I strain it into the big one and I repaint with what I filter. The big can only leaves a bit of dry debris on the bottom that I'll take to a paint disposal center when it's full. I do not know if I explained well.
@@eduardorudyard5595 Thank you for sharing! I do a very similar thing with my oil paints - I never pour turpentine down the sink!!! Thanks for taking time to share your process -I know it will be helpful to others!
@@sandihester Acrylic water, watercolor water ... all
