Playing with texture, color and depth in my work and boy oh boy do I learn a lot as I work through some projects. I can't wait to share them with you! I go from very loose to very tight (tight for me) in this body of work. The supplies I use in this video are listed below with links.

So many artists are afraid of color, but not Sandi! If you want to learn how to really use color, you have to totally immerse yourself, be generous with the medium, and be bold enough to balance bright hues against one another. Well done!

@sandihester Год назад

I totally agree Blick! Thank you ❤️

@richelle9193 Год назад

Sandi, you have truly transformed my world. I've been pursuing art in a more meaningful way over the last few years. After finding your channel recently it has been my biggest motivator and light in my tunnel. Thank you for being you and for all that you choose to share ❤️ you are such a light ✨️ you have provided positivity , inspiration , encouragement and wisdom to my art journey at just the right time, I am forever grateful

@sandihester Год назад

Well goodness- thank you for such a kind and encouraging comment ❤️

@Steohna2013 Год назад

I discovered your channel about a month ago via Kriksis' video that was inspired by your soft pastel works. It motivated me in turn to bust out my soft pastels, make a mess, and just play. I really appreciate the way you convey the joy of playing with art materials, not being "too precious" with them, and simply following your creativity, wherever the sources may lead. Great reminders for artists and for life in general. Thanks Sandi!

@sandihester Год назад

Thank you so much!

@karinmeira Год назад

Today is the day I’m going to stop feeling weird that I too write “colour notes” since forever on my sketches, as a reference for later use! ! And the coloured paper for backgrounds is just too good of a thing! Thanks Sandi!

@karinmeira Год назад

Oh, yes: and the way you usually separate your sketchbook pages with transparent paper to stop smudge, reminds me of the drawing pads from 40 years ago I had in primary school, where ALL pages had thin transparent paper between them. All! When my picture wasn’t of the smudgy type, I’d remove the thin sheet to use it as tracing paper in some other type work. Fun!

@KayeHinson 4 месяца назад

I LOVE this page in your sketchbook. I have to say the little squirrel is my favorite critter. but oh my, all the color, composition is great! intuitive painting.. you got it going!

@labcat647 Год назад

Watching while playing with an abstract portrait in my sketchbook. I checked out Sara Dyer… and still trying to figure out the style she and you are working in. You said your mom didn’t think a particular painting was in your usual style. I would love it if you did a “Sandi Hester 101” for those of us coming from different ways of painting… something like a blurb for an upcoming exhibition about your artistic vision and what you are chasing. I studied with Ardith Goodwin, and she was all about defining your signature style and vision of beautiful, but every artist is different in how they think about their work and whether they have defined a style. Whatever it is, your work keeps me coming back for more.

@sandihester Год назад

Thank you! I feel like I talk about my style over lots of videos. It kind of seeps in 😂

If you need something that will not harm you and help your allergies, see if you can find some stinging nettle. It is a natural antihistamine. You can put it in a tea for or you can eat it cooked. It tastes similar to spinach when it's cooked. Blessings!!
