Sandi, you really need to print your own art book, ok WE NEED your artbook!!! ❤❤❤
I soooo hope to one day!
I always get itchy to go and make art when I watch your videos, sometimes I don’t make it through without picking up my sketch book. I’m in bed watching tonight and I’m out of spoons so I’ll watch again in the morning. Gorgeous books, I managed not to pop to Amazon this time 😂
You've got more willpower than I have lol 😄🤭 soon as Sandi's video is finished I'm on to Google to search for all of these delicious art books Sandi features hahaha 😄❤
That’s impressive - I’m terrible about buying books
nobody elses' work gets me fired up like yours! i just graduated college and im so inspired by your work to paint up a storm this summer!!! wishing you the best
Ohhhh that makes me so happy to hear 🥰❤️
I was inspired by Emily Powell to hang my abstract acrylics (painted on butcher paper) along the wooden fence in my yard. I have two I am getting ready to put ON my house.
Sure, the muggy weather in South Carolina eventually takes them, but what joy! I'll just paint more!
Thank you, Sandi. I am looking forward to artists reviewing YOUR artbooks. You art is powerful!
An invitation to a veiw of the instalation might brighten up the neighborhood!
Hello South Carolina girl here
The most invaluable thing about your channel for me is hearing how positively you talk about your own work. Even if it's something you don't particularly like you don't trash it but find something redeeming about it.
Your sketchbook swatching pages made me wonder if you've seen the new book, "Color Charts: a History" by Anne Varichon? The history of colour in paint and prints and textiles etc. A huge book! Could be used as a small table itself never mind putting it on one! $69 CDN.
Ohhhhhh I’ve not heard of that book but I’m going to check it out!!!
I bought this book, but every time I try to flip through it, I have to go paint immediately!!!😂🎉
I’m loving your “weird” art. I definitely wouldn’t call it weird. It’s gorgeous and gives me tingles. 🧡🩷
If I were to recommend an art book, it would probably be "The Group of Seven and Tom Thompson," it has an image of a fall landscape with a bright blue sky on the cover. It covers this historic group of Canadian artists who worked primarily with landscape imagery. The range of how this group of seven artists all interpreted landscape is fascinating and I reach for this book often.
What a lovely book haul. I can’t wait for the day that a book will be published by Sandi Hester!!! Wink wink
I agree! So hope to have my own books out one day
Please do publish a book of your work! Your sketchbook tour videos are breathtaking, and I would LOVE a book of those gorgeous pieces.
Books like this are just such juicy feasts for the eyes. Also, big thank you for sharing tips with us. It doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated that we get these theory lessons for free. ❤️ Thanks for being so generous!
You are so welcome!🤗
Sandi Hester books - Still Life - Landscapes - Birds - Colour Mixes. Yes please! ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Looking at art whether its on the wall or in a book is such a pleasure. Happiness 😊😊😊
Yessssssss
Sandi, Sandi, Sandi ! When I saw the topic of this video, I had to stop and get a cup of coffee! ☕
Folk Art - I never get tired of it ❤
Currently enjoying 1. American contemporary artist. Shara Hughes. There are several books. (colorful, markings, texture, forest settings, Intuitive & doesn't premix her paints ) I think you would like Shara.
2. Ludwig Bermelmans, best known as the illustrator of the Madeline picture books, but his other artwork is something to behold. Viewing is hard to track down. Google Images. My local library had volumes on his life & art. So charming. Mostly, from his life in France, 1940s - 1950s.
3. Never get tired of David Hockney 's "Spring Cannot Be Canceled"
4. Oceanic Art !
For those who currently cannot fund book buying at the moment, do visit the thrift stores & charity book sales. And, visit your local libraries. You'll be amazed what you will discover. So many old gems waiting for you💕
As always, enjoyed your sketchbook tours. The birds w/ flora & plants with dark background - stunning. The Geese 🤗
Sandi, thank you for all you do. Please know you are much appreciated. 💕
I must stop now, as I just feel like painting. 🙋♀️
Great info - thanks for sharing and thank you for the kind words!
I really love Louise Fletcher's paintings and her book, Life Force. All abstracts. Great use of color and interesting mark making. Lots of depth.
Wonderful!
I love books, especially art books and your art book haul is just wonderful, a real treat❤️ And your sketchbook tours are always super inspiring, such wonderful work……..I have soft spot for your birds, especially your owls🦉😍 As always, thank you for sharing🙏🏼
Thank you so much!!
A new favorite of mine is a book/exhibit catalog called “Simple Pleasures: The Art of Doris Lee.” Her work is very folk-y and charming - often landscapes. In some ways her work reminds me of yours Sandi! The book really shows her evolution as an artist. Some of favorites pieces are more towards the end of her career when she melded that with abstraction.
Happy she's making a comeback, after being forgotten for so long. Delightful paintings 💕
Awesome!
I really liked how your work looked on the white pages. I generally prefer white to cream - colours are fresher and paintings seem to have more life.
Your art inspiration is contagious-especially wowed by those dreamy pastel landscapes, that last layered page, and that tree painting you felt went terribly wrong 😂 for me, it was all kinds of right!
😂 thank you!
I so agree with your book choices. Just so cool. Thanks
Yay.....I caught a new one...now to watch
🙌🤗❤️
can't wait to watch, but first, I must get the coffee going !!
Hope you enjoy!
Have only just started watching and I’m already so excited that I had to comment…. ❤I just love Sandi and I just love art books ❤
🥰🥰🥰
I really enjoyed this video, a feast for the eyes! The books were wonderful and so was your sketchbook tour. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
i love your last sketch ! it's so organic. It reminds me of Beatrice Alemagna.
Thank you!
10:17 ooh going to have to look for that book, its very nice🥰 15:18 and another book I am off to look for lol, love all of the birds!
O, Sandi, I can't wait for you to publish one of your sketchbooks! IF you want to. 😊 Anyway, I love your art book videos. Thank you!
I sooooo want to - just need the time to do it
❤Hi SANDI. It's good to spend time with you. KATIE ❤️ KENTUCKY!
I’ve just bought Mark Hearld’s workbook after getting recommandation, and it’s amazing. I think you will like it as well. He’s an English artist who does a lots of collage, animals from.the farm, lino, illustrations…. His work make me think of yours and Emma Carlisle. Especially the owls 🦉 😊
Yes, I’ve wanted that book for a while and have almost bought it several tines
Oh, I have that book sitting in my B&N Cart for over a month I must get it. Thanks for the reminder ! 🤗
Love your artwork the best 👌 thanks for sharing Sandi ❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
I love watching your channel...it's so inspiring. thank you
Thank you so much for the inspiration! I loved all the books!
I'm so glad!
I found that exact American folk art book at my thrift store, but rarely open it, you've inspired me to whip it out, thank you !!
🤗
Love this video! Thank you for taking us along on the delightful book & sketchbook tour! It’s a long weekend and I’m so ready to just create. I love poring over any books that feature Tom Thomson & the Group of Seven. Also looking at getting myself an Andre Derain book because I just love his work (and all of Fauvism, really). 😊
Great suggestions!!!
Thank you, Sandi - inspirational as always!
You are so welcome!
I have an incredible library of art and folio books but I haven't bought any for a long time. You made me go back to my wish lists and see what is there. I think if there is an art book or folio book that you are in love with you need to buy it IMMEDIATELY. They soon go out of print, never to be available again, except in the second hand market. I was a keen book buyer back in my youth. Some of the books I bought back then are now worth $1200 and up. They still remain a source of inspiration to me.
That’s so cool when they go up in value like that!
@@sandihester Two of the most valuable books I own are on medieval manuscripts. They were both published in the late 1980s. What's fascinating is that since then there has not been another broadly comprehensive book on the subject published (I mean a folio style book with tons of gorgeous images).
Amber Cresswell Bell’s book Clay is also a lovely source of joy and inspiration - even if you don’t work with clay.
Ohhhhhh awesome
Emma's own sketchbook 13:51 book is much better regarding how the works are shown than what they did to the sketches in Martin Salisbury's collection of illustrators' sketchbooks. Here the images are big and clear, really like it. I wish I could order it, I am sure there are some gems we haven't seen at this scale. Sandi, amazing overview, you reopened drawing to me. I will be grateful to you forever
loved seeing your sketchbook!
Thank you!
Thank you so much Sandi! I really respond to your paintings and the colors you use. I’m temporarily away from my studio and unable to paint…this has stirred me up and I’m going to use my alcohol markers and see what comes out. Thank you!
Ohhhh awesome!!!
Fabulous selection of art books. Some girls buy shoes...not me...books are my addiction. Can't wait for a SANDI HESTER book. I live in South Africa so many of these books cost a fortune to have shipped here and some of them like the Amber Creswell Bell Landscape book ( I have the Still Life book), I can't find anyone who ships it to South Africa, not even Amazon. I have Emily Powell's book Start Painting Now but sadly the others are all out of print, been looking for them for ages. So good to have a peek inside them. Your sketchbook was a real treat to see too, that you Sandi.
That’s always hard when shipping is so high!
Great video as always and so inspiring! I have a trip planned to the used book store (McKays) tomorrow. I’ve had good luck finding art books there and bird books for reference. I’m learning so much from you about mixed media, layering, and just experimenting with the “what if’s”. You speak my language! Especially your sense of humor. Thank you for what you do. I’m sure it’s a lot of work 🤗
I love McKays and find all my used books there! Hope you had some good finds there!
Sandi! Your paintings (all of them, all your varied styles, portraits, landscapes and still lifes) are soooo inspiring! Thank you for sharing bits of your artist life! ❤️
You are so welcome!
What an amazing haul, I must not be tempted ☺☺
Be strong 😂🤗
I love folk art as well. I like Charles Wysocki and have two of his books.
Wonderful! Thank you Sandi
You bet!
Thank you, Sandy! I ran across the abstract book by Amber Creswell Bell last weekend and immediately bought it because of your preview the week prior. Loving it. My edition is titled Abstract Painting, I can see it's the same artists as you flipped through the book. I am enjoying that each artist speaks a bit about what abstraction means for them. Would not have discovered this without your insight.
Wonderful!
I would recommend looking up the artist Emily Knwarreye. Absolutely amazing artist. There is also a landscape artist called William Robinson. His paintings are interesting because he paints the landscape as he experiences it, so in parts of the paintings the trees are upside down, because when he looked up, he saw them that way or something. Things in his paintings aren’t always on a normal flat perspective. He also does whimsical farmyard paintings with cute and funny cows, goats and chickens in them. As always thank you so much for this video. I loved it 🥰
Emma is definitely one of my top favorite artists! Her sketchbooks are a work of art, I own two and the one mentioned here sold out but I think she said she was looking to reprint it (fingers crossed). David Hockneys books are also amazing and I’d recommend those. And any of Beatrice Alemagna’s children books-we own most and my children love the stories/I adore the art.
I totally agree!
Lately I've been inspired by the artist (and youtuber) The lazy Redhead. I think you would enjoy her work as well. Her style is loose and playful and most of her work is inspired by the landscape and especially trees. Plus, she makes the most gorgeous picture-videos as prompts to paint from. She works a lot in sketchbooks, but also on canvas,
Great suggestion!
I think you would like Nell Blaine and the D'Lan Contemporary gallery represents Australian first nation artists. i have a few of their catalogs and I constantly look at them. The use of color and movement is incredible.
Awesome!
Kicked off the property.....lol.....Sandi you are so funny and I don't think you realize it.....God bless you girl....I just love your outspokenness and dry wit!!!
Ohhh thank you!! I do keep Grady constantly cracked up so I’m glad yall get a little laughter too 🤗
@@sandihester it's me Kathleen. Don't know why youtube is messing with my name.....I'm sure Grady is in stitches a lot
Great video. What a wonderful selection. I love your early landscapes and am still hoping for an art book from one of my favourite artists. You. 😁
You’re so sweet Megan!
I second that! I would love to purchase one of your sketchbooks Sandi and perhaps one or two of your paintings some day for my forever home 🏡 😊
I love all of your videos - I'm a bit behind but eventually I get to them. I would recommend The Group of Seven by Silcox and Abstract Acrylics by Waltraud Nawratil - both very different but their use of color is beautiful.
So much art inspiration here! Thank you! You're sketchbook art is GORGEOUS, Sandi!! I love it!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on this incredible sketchbook! It is a wonderful example not just of your journey as an artist but of the diversity and depth of skill your paintings have. There’s so much here to love. I particularly think the portraits of Trixie are outstanding and I hope you include them when you eventually make a book of your work (which I am waiting to buy…) ❤
Thank you so much!
Just like everyone else on here, now I want to mark make and paint. Thank you for showing your book haul and your sketchbook flip through. You inspire me.
Have fun!
Wonderful, Sandi - thank you! Looking through your sketchbooks is always super inspiring! Regarding the art books I found the folk art especially interesting , and it made me think that what’s really beautiful about this kind of art is it’s inclusiveness, it feels unique & universal at the same time, very welcoming … ❤
I agree!
Loved the paintings at the end with the stark black background. Curious if you are going to do a video on your gelli plate process because those pieces came out beautiful too!
I’ll probably do an online class
Thank you!
No I also want to go and paint. Thank you for your inspiring video's, I am always looking forward to it!
So glad!
Hi Sandi, Duncan Shanks, The Poetry of Place, is a deep dive into his sketchbooks, if you can find it, it is amazing.
Awesome!
Love it!
Thanks!!
Thanks again Sandi!! Another motivating video.
You are so welcome!
Sandi! I've missed your posts! At 12:46 Emily and Sarah's book is excellent! Bought it last week Sandi ❤ I love it! Definitely going to try the tasks they include...a fun, funny, colourful book! Delightful 😊 love Emily and Sarah's aart 💚❤😍
Great video…seeing your sketchbook makes me want to paint lol….you get inspired by a new book, then you inspire us…
That’s awesome! Love when that happens!
Sandi! I just ordered The Flowering of American Folk Art and a handful of other secondhand American Folk Art books from eBay earlier today. And here you are with the same book. ☺
Thank you for being a daily inspiration. Love and prayers from N. Alabama.
Oh that’s neat!
My favorite books I'm still going through are Richard Schmid's Alla Prima II and The Landscape. I will treasure them always. I'm also working my way through a stack of art books picked up from McKays bookstore... got a new one just yesterday.
Yay!!!
I use Collin's Artist Manual finnish translation published in 1995. Thrifted book but amazing.
Sandi, just came across a painter who is all about colour and mark making - and often the human figure painted extremely loosely: Katherine Bradford. She's American and has a ton of videos interviewing her. She doesn't like the term "naive" applied to her painting, just says her style is "direct". The more I watched her, the more I thought you would enjoy her human figures. Her palette is a bit like Emily Powell at times.
Ohhh yes - I know her and I’ve watched lots of her videos. She’s great!
@@sandihester excellent, I wouldn't have wanted you to miss her.
merci pour ce partage, tes livres sont très inspirant, je suis une fan de ce genre de livre et ma bibliothèque en est rempli, c'est tellement nourrissant de les feuilleter. belle soirée à toi 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Hey sandi ! thanks for having answered my request with a video of your books ! You went fast with the two first ones: landscape and still Life but thank you 😊 . I always look forward to your vidéos , you are very inspiring 🤗
I’m pretty sure I’ve show those further here or on substack
ok, let me share a couple books that I just love, but a bit hard to find. One is by artist Linda Christensen Color and Figure. And the other is Liz Gribin (Paintings 1970 - 2013)... Honestly, they are two of my favorite art books. These two artists are amazing
Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Sandi, I was wondering, what is the main difference(s) in your online landscape classes? Thanks!
Check out Tom Thompson and Lawrence Franklin from the Group of 7 (Canadian art).
Will do!
Are you coming to England again soon Sandi ?
Not sure
Hey Sandi, can you please tell me how I can watch all your videos in date order?? RUclips does not make it easy to see this option !! And I want to follow your story more chronologically ! Please advise ! I love your content... especially those sketchbook tours ! :))) thank you x
Not exactly sure unfortunately
@@sandihester Wondering if any lovely followers happen to know !!! 😍
I think Emna Carlisle's books are all sold out. Hoping she"ll reprint.
Ohhh bunmer
