I Painted Everyday For A Month 

It’s easy to be a “consumer” of videos on RU-vid and forget how much effort it takes for people to create the videos. And to make a point to turn the camera on EVERY SINGLE DAY when you’re making art, and then to have to edit it on top of that…wowza. Thank you as always for the time you take to share your creativity.

To paint like a child is something lots of people would like to achieve . You do it beautifully Sandi. Love.y to watch you do it

I have no idea how you don’t have 1 million followers. This is one of my favorite channels! I’ve been watching for a long time and I’m always inspired to paint after watching. 🎨

I really enjoyed this Sandi. It gave us a chance to see more of your work and the variety of your subjects. I'd appreciate more videos like this along with your instruction or explanation of your process videos. Thank You so much for all of the work that you put in to create these videos to share with us. I was really excited to hear that you were painting one of the Psalms! Your duck painting was phenomenal, and I really enjoyed all of the colorful and delightful scenes that you painted. Your painting of your backyard during the snow really looked like a snowy scene despite there not being much white in the painting at all! Amazing!!! See you in two weeks with great and joyful anticipation 🎉❤!!!!

I love how you said the rabbit face came out a little weird and I sat there thinking to myself all your figures are a little "weird". Just cracked me up that you as the artist said that the rabbit face wasn't right! LOL Your art is beautiful. It's so fresh and has lots of good energy.

Your ducks are always my fav, Sandi! So much fun to see the whole month of inspiration! That landscape painting on the 27th is beautiful. I hope that one will be in your published sketchbooks someday!!

Prolific and joyful! Yes, “we love it, do it again!” ❤

Thank you for your nice video. I loved the „flowers for you paintings“ , especially the one with the bird. Your art touches me very much. Don’t stop to share it.

Yes! More please…love this kind of video! Those flowers and portraits are beautiful.

Loved this style of video, Sandi! But I think we will watch just about anything you film. Thanks for sharing your January paintings! ❤

Had to pause and get Psalm 148 out 😊 wow, that’s one big psalm to paint, but you got it all in there. Love love love your flowers for you cards. Love the portraits more, though. Love videos like this. Keep painting every day.

Sandi, I loved this weeks video. Okay to be honest I have watched every single video since spring of 2020. I love love love all your videos. You have inspired me more than I can ever convey, so thank you!!!!! I find myself rewatching a few of the videos you have done in the past few months, " A Week in an Artist's Life" and " Making time for Art During a Busy Week." I love these kinds of videos where I feel like I am hanging out with you in your studio while you're working. Thank you again you amazing lady!

Your happiness makes me happy. You're paintings are lovely. They are so rustic, and impressionistic. I especially liked your flower paintings. Your sweet personality shows through.

I really enjoy seeing your daily paintings. You make my day brighter each time I watch! Thank you for being real and thank you for all the wonderful tips!!!

I loved seeing your day to day, LOVED the 'flowers for you' posters, and loved seeing your prolific variety!

Hi Sandi🤗 I loved seeing your daily paintings! I feel inspired after watching. .. I’ve been in a slump, but it got some juices flowing in my head. Daily painting is really where it’s at. Motivation & time are the obstacles. Love your work!💖

I hugely appreciate you showing the paintings youre gonna paint over as well as your keepers.

Thoroughly enjoyed this , it was also inspirational. I, too, often “see” something I could paint while reading scripture but have yet to capture something that reproduces the “vibe” I was feeling. Your psalm is both inspired and inspiring.

The ducks in the sketchbook are magnificent. The background is incredible, so much gesture and movement, chef's kiss! Can't wait to hear you on the Learn to Paint podcast. Ever since you mentioned it I've had it on in the studio. I can't believe I've already listened to about 40 episodes!

The second to the last of the flower paintings is awesome ❤❤❤ Day 31

I just loved this Sandi. I could watch this every month. Haha. It's so inspiring and I love seeing all the methods and variations to your work. It makes me want to paint! I've picked out my favorite piece. I told myself I'm not allowed to buy art art the moment but if it's still available when I'm ready ... IT'S MINE! Haha. Have a great two weeks!

Здравствуйте, Сэнди Я нашла ваш канал случайно около недели назад и с те пор не могу остановиться. Это как будто я узнала название песни, которую обожала всю жизнь. Каждый раз, смотря ваши видео и рисунки, я думаю о том, что в моем окружении совсем нет людей, стремящихся к таким же вещам, а я хотела бы уметь делать такие же быстрые и эмоционально насыщенные работы. вы как будто полевой художник, это восхитительно. Я стремлюсь к подобным вещам. Ваше творчество многому меня учит. Особенно расслабляться и не думать слишком много. Мне очень нравится как вы работаете красками, хотя я никак не могу научиться подобной пастозности. И мне так же нравится, что вы не ограничивает себя жа5ром портретов, животных, пейзажей или натюрмортов, и промто рисуете все. Это головокружительно приятно. Сегодня я увидела как бульон из кастрюли моей соседки вытекал на плиту, я увидела эти красивые зелёные пятна и быстро сделала фотографию в учебнвх целях. Тогда я подумала - о, это определённо что-то из того, о чем мне на ушко шепнули натюрморты Сенди Хестер! У меня совсем нет друзей художников. Все кого я знаю просто стремятся к совсем другим вещам и я никак не могу найти с ними общий язык. Я думала, что я странная, а потом я увидела вас и оказалась рада. Теперь я стараюсь часто делать быстрые наброски с таймером, пытаюсь учиться гуаши и не переживаю на счёт абстрактности. Я вижу как моё творчество изменяется в лучшую сторону, и я знаю, что этого бы не произошло без вас Спасибо

Hi Sandi! I only recently found your channel and I cannot get enough! I love your art and your vibe. Your videos help me to keep in mind that being creative is as much about the process and how it makes you feel as it is about the end result! I live in rural Kentucky which is of course scenically very similar to Tennessee… your landscapes have provided so much inspiration to get out and paint my own surroundings! Thank you!!

Hi Sandi...I see you got to paint with Mary Frey...I adore Peter and her so much. Courageous woman, loving hubby and family. Thanks for your videos

I found you through watching Emily‘s videos. One of her videos popped up somewhere when I was viewing mostly watercolor, so I’m not quite sure how I found her but she is full of life and fun and her videos are a joy to watch as well as her paintings. I did enjoy watching this long video. You have your own unique paint style & your love of art & joy in life shows in your paintings. I can see how you have some similarities with Emily. I enjoy watching various professional artists and different painting, styles, and techniques and lifestyles. Good luck with all your endeavors.

Hi Sandi! Can't wait to hear your interview on Learn To Paint Podcast....it's one of my favorites! Love all your videos and love your approach to all things art!❤

oh my..., you are so productive! i basically just held onto my notebook und kept saying and whispering: wow! that's so beautiful! wow! that's so beautiful! wow! that's so beautiful! ... your landscapes, your still life pictures, your wonderful portraits...i will definitely watch this again and pause several times in order to soak in the pictures. you paint so loosely and still your pictures make so much sense. your palettes are beautiful, your compositions are flawless and the results go through my eyes straight to my heart where they create little joy explosions. i feel so gifted by you! thank you for so much insight! and what a good friend you are. i am sure that anyone who gets such a joyful card will feel good things even when life is challenging right now (i hope your friends will get well soon!).

The 6:13 the orange in a white bowl still life is everything I look for in a painting ❤❤❤

Yes, please do this for March. Enjoyed this video very much.😊

Love to see how much art you create within one month. I find it super hard to find the time and motivation to do art everyday. Love the freeing feeling it brings but my space ends up a mess when I work on stuff.

Sandi,this video was such a joyful gift,I love how prolific you are and that you have that creative momentum and drive to paint and draw every day,I'm the same,I can't not create every day.Not sure which artist said it but the quote "painting is life" is so true for me and I sense it is the same for you.This video was a great insight into what inspired you and your love of the process and the flow state as you brilliantly call it.I love the cards and the reason you created them too.(Matt)

I finally found out why I love your artwork so much! It’s because your artwork is alive! It’s almost like I can hear each piece of artwork breathing. Vibrating of energy and vitality. 🏞️🌌

I love your energy Sandi and I appreciate you showing us your art every day🥰 I hope you are well with a 3 hour doctors appt😬🙏🙏 Take care!

it's lovely to see all the paintings you've created! so much variety 🥰🥰

This was so enjoyable! I think my favourite things of yours are always your people and your birds... just so much character and so inspiring.

I think the trees (1/12-13) were so fantastic. I also liked the women portraits with blocks of colors for the shadows. So interesting to see how much you get done in a month! Wow!

I was so inspired by this video. I watched in this morning and then went into my garage and pulled out 3 old canvases to start painting! LOL!

So inspiring! Please do a zoom workshop on flowers. Please?

Really loved this process, wow a whole month, well done. I’m watching as I prepare for the 100 day project.

Thank you Sandy for the flower painting cards I did this for a friend at church what a wonderful idea !

Loved this video Sandi. I like all the action. You always share your thoughts and how you go about forming your ideas and doing the painting. Good and not so good you share it all. Actually there is always something redeeming in the works you aren’t happy with. It’s all very inspirational. I’m recuperating from an illness and I can’t wait to get back to my art. I’m doing small sketches and color blocks just to keep me going. Thanks to you I’m very excited about getting back in the groove. You are a gem.😊❤️

Oh Sandi, what a joy you are. Thank you so much for you being you and showing us that Art is Life, in all its good and not so good. In saying that though, all you do is super good! I could eat it with a spoon! You always brighten my life. 🌄

Hi Sandi, thats alot of work! Some absolute beauties in there! I would love to see a video like this again, but only if it's something you're happy to do. Off to watch the podcast, and looking forward to the one later in Feb! x Nell.

Enjoyed the month of paintings. I would love to see another one. What a great idea with the flower paintings as cards to make someone smile. Love that idea! 😊

I liked the video very much. Thank you for the effort and work you took to record. Since I am new to your channel, I kept wondering what materials you used. I finally saw the tubes of paint on the ground and figured it was acrylic(?).

So many inspirations!

As always, I am incredibly inspired by your dedication to a regular painting practice!

I always enjoy your videos but I’m always curious how you manage to create so many great art pieces. This video really emphasized for me, the power of daily/regular practice to improve my own art work.
