You're such breath of fresh air Sandi. By far my fave person on YT. Loved your sketch btw.

@sandihester 3 года назад

Awe - goodness - thank you Emma-Lee!

@hannatrue150 11 месяцев назад

Loving going back into the archives and watching your old videos. It’s so fun to see you first discovering supplies that I see you use all the time now (like Poscas). And really neat to see how you’ve developed your multi-media and layering techniques over the past couple of years… so encouraging!! And new favorite Sandi quote: “I’m really attracted to weeds.” 😂 So thankful to have a library of Sandi to go back and watch anytime I need a pick-me-up! Thanks for your generosity and hard work. ❤

@sandihester 11 месяцев назад

Yes, so much of my art journey is documented here which is really fun and neat to have this archive

@INSTANTTHEATREBTP 3 дня назад

Hey Sandi... us hard-core Sandi followers/subscribers have to go back through ALL YOUR VIDEOS... cause we're addicts now and can't get enough !! But what a joy ! Since this video is from three years ago, I wanted to ask you if you still feel the same way about multi-mediums and layering in one drawing/painting... in this video you say you struggle with it (Though I personally LOVE the results) but I'm sure you have changed you feeling about that now and that you really love bringing in All The Stuff?!!! I love it myself and have grown so much in my practice from just using whatever feels good and what my heart wants to grab !! Be interested to hear your reflections on how things have changed for you in three years... ?? Thank you for these wonderful insights.... Am so inspired !! :))))) 🙏

My fave acrylic pen is the Molotow brand in the color lobster. I would recommend 👌

@sandihester 3 года назад

What a fabulous name too!

@iris-impressions-art 3 года назад

Another vote for Molotow! I think you’ll enjoy them, I think the bigger sizes have some super chunky nibs and I’ve had better luck with them than with my Poscas in terms of longevity (I’m the worst for ruining markers by working on top of other stuff, but my Molotows seem to stand up to the abuse a bit better and also you can buy replacement nibs)

@lightwavz 3 года назад

@@iris-impressions-art Additionally, I just found an old pencil bag from 9 or 10 years ago with an opened and used Lobster Molotow and... it was a good as day 1! I could not believe it! Been doodling with it all week long!

@TalaiRain 3 года назад

Acrylic paint (even matte acrylic) is pretty slick. Both Neocolors and oil pastels don't grab well to its slippery surface. I'd recommend adding a layer of clear gesso (clear gesso is AMAZING) before adding them on top of acrylics. The gesso texture will give them something to grab on to without much impact to the paint layers below.

@sandihester 3 года назад

Great tip Amanda!

37 minutes of joy, art, and fun! This made my Friday! Such a bummer about those paint pens. They looked so cool! And I would LOVE to see more of your walking drawing. I'm sure it would be a challenge to film. (Maybe a reenactment in your studio. Ha!) I just love the idea! Any little tips for drawing / painting more would be so helpful.

Hi Sandi, somehow I'd recently lost your YT channel and I was so bummed! But alas, the sun came out and I found you once again! Just want to mention, and you might have already said it on here. Be careful when you shake those big, fat markers, like the three you have in green. They make great coverage and super useful, but when you shake them, as you should before each use, make certain THE LIDS ARE ON TIGHT!! I used to make a ton of signs and chalk boards at my near by Trader 'store. Can't tell you how many signs I ruined by the paints splattering out on my work! Other than that, they are terrific.(at least the Poscas are, never tried the other brand.) ;)

I absolutely love how free you are! I'm so jealous. I keep thinking about it and then I chicken out. Lol Anyway, I wanted to ask if you ever play with gouache? My choice of medium is watercolor. I tend to think of it as 'cost effective' for me, but here lately, I've been playing with waterbased gouache. I purchased the Himi brand and bought some other brand at the local art store (can't remember the brand). It is opaque, so what I like about it, is how I can go either light to dark or dark to light. I sometimes use both, like for clouds. I have a very difficult time leaving white, white. Lol Thank you for your weekly videos! I look forward to Fridays because you make me feel so welcome to the painting world.

You can buy empty paint pens, Sandi, and fill them with your own paint mixes - but, like you, I don't find the tool itself great to work with.

Real helpful video. I watched it twice! So what brand fixative would you use to seal charcoal sticks and Art Graf blocks since you really didn’t like Lascaux? Have you tried hairspray for sealing charcoal?

Hi Sandi, the link for the white sketchbook doesn't work for me. All the others are ok.

Please teach me how to use the water brush! Every time I try the color gets sucked up into the water reservoir instead of going on the paper…

Hmmm that’s strange. Not sure why that’s happening

Wow! so much fun 😍 all the art supplies make me so happy lol ... Sandi, between Stillman and Birn's Zeta sketchbook and moleskine which one is better for mixed media?

@sandihester 3 года назад

Probably zeta

Old cheep hair spray, the cheaper usually the better. Must be in a aerosol can. Is the best fixative, I have ever used. For chalk pastels and charcoal. (Try to find the really old brands). Still needs 2-3 coats though....
