STUDIO VLOG #14: STRUGGLES & ART CHALLENGE 

It's so nice to know we all experience the same feelings! So many times on social media we see perfect anesthetic- not- real- life videos, finished pieces only, and little conversation. You and your Channel are beyond refreshing and so needed in the art community! ❤️ Can't wait for your next video.

Oh Sandi. As someone who gets way too caught up in ideas of good art versus bad art and the idea that to be seen as skilled you have to do realism all the time and other toxic art ideologies, watching your vlogs have been such a great change of pace for me. It's so nice to see your creative process and your exploration of styles and materials and your whole attitude is so encouraging to me. Really glad I subscribed when I found you and I hope more people do. You are one of the best representations of what art should be - freedom, fun, joy, expression, and growth. Love your vlogs and personality. All the way from the Caribbean.

Yaaaaas landscapes honey! Knew your style would translate beautifully and, wow! 9:28, that blurred tree in the background?! GORGEOUS! 😍And I loooovvveee the idea of those creative challenges! How sweet! I need to do something like that...

I love your house painting, the way you apply the paint is rich and textured. You are making me want to get my oils out now. The art challenge with your friends is a great idea. I am doing something similar with a group of mine and we are currently doing an altered book round robin and that is such fun, Skyping has been a blessing during our isolation. That tube to store your oil paints looks like a great idea! Anyway, I hope you get to 1,000 subscribers soon, I made it today, yay!

Love this video. So much inspiring info! love the longer videos! I just checked the subscription is over 8,000 now in such a short time! you inspire us…thank you Sandi

It's obvious you gals are enjoying the art challenge a lot! (I'm so glad I did not join you....) 1,000 subscribers?!?! Great job babe!

Thanks for mentioning our podcast, so lovely to see you painting along to it!

I LOVE your house painting, it is so beautiful, and the colours are just perfect. Really lovely to hear your honest thoughts too on being an artist. I'm sure you will reach 1000 subs real soon, and great to see your challenge you created with those younger girls, I'm sure they will be extremely encouraged by your creativity. Thanks for mentioning the @Creative_Catchup podcast too (funny hearing my voice in the background)!

Watching this video made me go to my art room to start painting 😃 I can relate a lot to feeling in an art rut too. Definitely watching other artists, such as yourself, helps to motivate to do art! I also really like your little art challenge with the ladies. I'm not imaginative either, and challenges like inktober and such would be so difficult for me. I tried it before, but I stopped after 3-4 drawings (which were not done on their corresponding days). I was having difficulty fitting in work, life errands, social life and completing pieces on their designated day. I'm somewhat a perfectionist, so I will revisit many pieces and not bother uploading to ig until I'm truly satisfied, given up completely or just don't post at all 😅 thank you for your video, and much love from canada 🇨🇦🖤

Your whole being, as well as your art, is absolutely wonderful Sandi! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Sending you a big ol hug of thanks, all the way from Sweden, for all the inspiration you give me! Yay!

just found your channel and love it xxx thank you x

You are so authentic, Sandi, it blows me away. Restores my faith in ... lots of stuff ;) My perfection anxiety plummets when I watch your videos. THANK YOU 😊 - blowing kisses -

Always wishing you well

You inspire me so much!

The painting in the beginning is lovely.

Hi Sandi! I absolutely love your style! Thank you for sharing your process of how you develop your ideas. It’s fantastic the way you explore with all of your tools. Always so happy discovering your new videos. 💗💗💗🥰🙏🏽🌸

Sandi you are just a few short of 1000 as I'm writing this so I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS ON 1000 SUBSCRIBERS! I hope by the time you read this you'll have passed the mark and I will be one of the first to congratulate you. There was a lot in this video that inspired me, and hopefully I'll share soon what artistic creations come out of the inspo. So thank you, as always. And congrats again! I've known from the beginning it was only a matter of time until your channel blew up. I'm glad you are getting to reach a wider audience now--your channel is too good not to share. Sending hugs ♡

This one is fabulous

15:48 I thought you were going to say ‘she has ears of corn’ 🤭 sorry that was too corny! 😂

I think I have tried every medium except for oils. For some reason they seem very intimidating to me

I've watched a bunch of your videos today and I just love you. You're my new favorite. You're real and encouraging. I'm going to do a sketch of you now and I need to start a challenge. So fun.

Hi, so good to see you again. Love the pictures you did of your house. Did you notice the cloud in your top painting has a face profile. Neat. Love the idea of your creative circle, gives you inspiration and a focus. Kinda like Inktober. I will try that challenge again this year. I’m so happy your channel is growing. I know I sent a friend to your site. Have a good week. Byee.🙋🏼‍♀️🌻🇨🇦

I LOVE the light! And again with the blue. Lol, what is happening to me?

Your studio and paintings are SO gorgeous. :)
