SANDI! SANDI! I just finished a painting I LOVE! I mean, I love it. And then the next one. I feel you have given me permission to like my own work. Really like it. I'm 69 , been a long time coming.

I told my bestie the other day about this artist I've been following who is helping me let go of the tight realism I cling to by default. That I haven't created a "final" work for months and am having so much fun just experimenting and letting go of perfection. She noticed that I've been braver with friendships and letting people into my heart. And I realized that I'm learning something more from you than art. You are a walking, talking lesson in vulnerability. Not just vulnerability as an artist. Vulnerability of spirit. And I need that. We all do. So thank you for your content. For your open heart. And for your genuine vulnerability. Love.

I don’t paint like this. Ever. But because of Sandi, I bought oil pastels and soft pastels and I’ve even begun using my nupastels. And today I did one of her owls quick w nupastels. When I can’t think and am in a mental block or even an artist block, I look and look for inspiration elsewhere and ultimately end up w her videos going because they encourage me so much just to DO THE WORK!!

There’s something I would suggest that I picked up from Sandi. Paint a piece of paper (any size) black and as soon as it’s dry hit it with COLORS. Personally I use oil pastel but any medium is good. Doesn’t matter the subject,meaning, or style you’d be pressed to not have fun. It takes away preciousness and has a stark wham bam to it to really kick things off or fill in that expensive sketchbook you’re so scared of.

There's so much joy in this! Great video for artists who are hesitant to use paint generously. What's your tip for keeping painted pages from sticking together in sketchbooks? (Your studio looks absolutely charming BTW! )

Hey Blick! I stick glassine or wax paper between pages that I think will stick but I also try to mainly use matte paint and that does the trick too

@actuallyfrankie 2 года назад

Now I want to try painting birds! Though, as you mentioned in one of your old videos, as a beginner I paint me some FAT birds. 🤣🤣🤣 Miss Sandi, I love these videos so much. They are such an encouragement. But what's more encouraging is how you deal with what some people call "haters." Recently, I had the experience of people giving me "the look" over my sketches. You know the one? The "Oh no, poor dear thinks she's an artist but her work isn't exactly art." one? Accompanied by the tight, awkward smile? It really got to me, but then I saw your stories about how you laugh at downright MEAN criticism and I was like, if Miss Sandi can laugh and take joy in EVERY PART of the art-making process, then so can I! Love love LOVE watching you paint. I especially love the blue bird because that greyish blue is my favorite color!

@sandihester 2 года назад

So much easier to take those things lightly! You can do it! Thank you for your kind words!

@eileenhoney6426 2 года назад

Love your owl drawings/paintings. It was fun watching you do the two large ones…even though you don’t’ really like to paint on camera. Watching you made them seem less intimidating to try. I like that you’re showing us something different in your “talent pool”. Awhile back I remember that you did a series of African American people that were stunning. I think I speak for all of us….we love to watch you paint.

The character you gave his face and then his kind of old guy posture. But the other one across the page was also wonderful! And then your smaller ones...just fab. 👍You said you've "...never been very good at owls?". What? I think you captured them spot on! It just amazes me how you get the lines, the contours, the edges, so well and very often with a cheapo brush! Amazing!

Hi Sandi - your birds are so cute! What fun. I would like to have more fun with painting now after watching you create really cute and colourful birds; they are alive!

I really like how you paint your birds. I’ve always been a bird nerd lol, good work

Loved the quilt! She is a talented textile/fabric artist. Your paintings in canvas have lovely texture and movement. And I love the sketchbooks. Your birds are one of my favorites that you do. ❤️.

Your birds are wonderful! I love how you keep telling yourself to hold the brush loosely. Now I tell myself that too! I loved your class. I treated myself to a Stillman and Birn hardcover zeta sketchbook. Wow! What a difference good paper makes. I was reluctant to ruin the book but just started slapping paint in it and now I’m using it! Do you ever decorate the outside of these journals?

I’m so glad you liked the class (thank you for purchasing!) and yes to the sketchbook 🙌! I decorate the outside sometimes but usually I just jump into them
