We can't think of another artist whose color swatches are more worthy of consideration as art! Honestly, those alone are worth the time watching... but of course, there are so many reasons why we keep coming back! This channel is a great example of how making art can and should be a normal part of everyone's life!

@sandihester Год назад

Awe thanks so much Blick!!! Y’all always encourage me so much!!! Thanks for watching!

@Julie-vy3oz Год назад

I think one (of many) reasons I enjoy watching your videos is seeing how you use all you art supplies. It doesn’t feel like you have them just for the accumulation of a collection, but really put them to use!

@sandihester Год назад

So true Julie! I do rotate around with things but I do use them all - mostly that is

Hi Sandi. I am following you for so many years now from the other end of the world .(Saudi Arabia)You are the only artist that I never miss any of her videos.Not only for the art but for your kind soul funny comments your studio all the sweet details of your life.May God bless you Grady and your beautiful Mom.

Thank you - that really means a lot!!! ❤️❤️❤️

@christierella 8 дней назад

You caught my attention on Instagram in June 2024. I started following you shortly there after on RU-vid. I've been binge watching and re-watching your videos here on RU-vid. I love them all, but this one is so jammed pact full of information. I've rewatched this one the most. I love how you talked about how you work, moving around. This may be the single biggest bit of artistic information I've ever heard. I love your color charts, I'm using the word love here. I started following you on Substack, but I thought (from the video on RU-vid) that you would be posting more there. No matter, I adore your generous, kind gentle spirit. Your humor cracks me up. I will be asking for several of your classes for Christmas. Thank you, Sandi Hester, I appreciate you. Blessings to you & yours.

Hey Sandi, Now you are loose with structure. It is the nearly every day work, the boats look lovely. I liked how you pushed the colours with the raw umber so quickly at the end... Harmony. A good way to work. Will try that. In kindred spirit, Eliza Dulwich Hill, Sydney Australia 25th of June 2023; 10:18pm xx

Yes! I loved this. Thank you. I love how you work in such muddy colors in such a beautiful way. I always struggle and my palettes look more like a candy land and less real. I keep wanting to do more gouache work and I just need to play like you do. Your way of working/play is so incredibly inspiring.

@stephanie.kilgast Год назад

Color swatching is the thing I do the most in my downtime. I think when colors are in the center of your work it's not only super useful but also really enjoyable. I tend to pick 3 colors and go from one to another in pebbles. I also do what you do here, pick one color and mix it with all kinds of others. I have loose color swatches around the studio and they have been the starting point of many artworks. They also help me when I'm stuck color-wise. And yeah, super fun!

@andreajlmoore Год назад

I can so relate to your music rant! As someone who loves quiet and nature sounds, it’s so very annoying when people do that…not to mention rude. 😂 This was a fun and educational video for me. Thank you!

I am enjoying you being into watercolor now! Geeking out on your swatches! I so enjoy your paintings! I love watercolor. I have white gauche but is there any other color I need to get? haha Went to Mexico for a few weeks and made a small watercolor pallet to take as well as my inktense pencils and pens. I left my markers as I did not want to get too heavy or have things taken away in customs. I did take the white gouache and put with my makeup. I took my smaller block paper and 2 sketchbooks. I kept one in my cross body with a pen. I had so much fun!!!! Panoramic view hotel room and painting the church and plaza in my down time. Thank you for all your sharing! Got another water pen because of you to take on the trip! Thanks!

Thank you for sharing. I was chuckling about your naked lady in the background and then you painted her suit on, but you left your husband naked after painting his facial hair. Eventually you got his pants on. Funny. Don't know why, but hearing artists talk through their process is always an eye opener, or Eureka moment for me and I can't wait to try new ways of doing things. Peace.

I feel unsure of myself but your videos give me encouragement. Love the idea of just using a whole page to swatch a color. Yes!!!! Also to use many different media. I used to live in TN in the Morristown area & Cherokee Lake area. Can't wait for another video!!!!

@sandihester Год назад

@katpaints Год назад

I discovered that i have missed a few! I'm only halfway through but i know I'll forget if i wait. I'm wondering if the kid's hat had a R-91 on it. It is something people who were at that horrible Las Vegas shooting several years ago wear. They locate each other with it. A friend was there and that little R-91 had been so healing for so many! So glad to see that you are posting process videos again! I do enjoy them!

In the first pool sketch starting around 6:00, I really like how you were able to create depth by changing the size of the figures. It works so well. I didn't really notice this until you started coloring in the blue cap of the fellow on the right side. I was wondering [pause] if Grady was streaking. Glad you gave him some pants! Thanks for the swatching tips too, Sandi!

@Marizeye Год назад

I adore your art, I could listen to your soothing voice ALL DAY LONG (especially today - super stressed out), I adore that you share all this with us, which is so generous of you (thank you!). I just wish this translated to me skipping outside and doing fab art too - or even inside - but the struggle(s) is real. Almost zero space to make art inside, no car to lug art materials around to interesting places, in a big city so little nature around, too shy and inexperienced to do people. But still, so inspiring that you just never know, I may break through all that ;-) PS - if you happen to read this and wonder if there isn't a local art club I could join the answer is NO! Major town, yet the only art courses are either very long, very conventional/formal & expensive courses or "boozy" drink and paint evenings. So I'm especially grateful I can at least watch your videos :-)

@sandihester Год назад

We all start somewhere. None of us skip to being confident and knowing where good places are to paint or know how to do it well at first - it all takes practice. Just start and enjoy the process.

@@sandihester It appears that Faber-Castell may have discontinued the Translucent pack of Gellatos! I have a message out to them for confirmation. I’m very disappointed. They do sell some of the colors individually but I don’t know yet if there are any from this group available singly. A couple of months ago I bought the pack of brights but they are too bright for me. I’m trying to calm them down with a similar color stick from Crayola. Your color swatches in today’s video reminded me that I’ve not finished that experiment. They are fun to make and I do them in all of my sketch books to see the differences paper to paper. Thank you again.

What a great video! Wonderful paintings as well! I was wondering if you ever consider the ecological impact and animal welfare when picking up art supplies? Personally, I shy away from cadmium and cobalt colours, as well as products containing animal products such as brushes made from animal hair or watercolours with ox-gall. Also, how do you dispose of your paint water? Would be great to hear your thoughts on this!

Creating and labeling the markings in an abstract style painting instead of just spots...also add white...or dark complementary colors to get more value= 3 D.
