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.
Congratulations! That doesn't happen to me too often and it is SO delightful when it does. Enjoy! x
That makes me sooo happy to hear!!!
So wonderful! Keep going!
Good for you. Woo hoo!
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.
Love love this comment and so agree!
😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for sharing - that was encouraging!
Shannon - I totally agree. Had not thought about this consciously. Thank you for commenting. I feel this too. 💕
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!!
I said it before and I'll say it again, I could sit and watch you paint for HOURS!! Thank you for sharing the whole process of painting the hawks. LOVED every second. You're always a bright light to end the week. (And that quilt!? OHHHHHH SNAP!! The fabric on the back is everything!)
Thank you Michael - really appreciate that! And I know - the quilt ❤️
I have a feeling we're gonna see the gorrrrrrrgeous orangey fabric on your paintngs as a background or something like that...
Same!
Hi Sandi, just wanted to take the time to comment and say I think every time I see one of your birds my heart skips a beat. They're my favourite things of yours. Keep up the good work!
❤️❤️❤️ thank you!
@@sandihester Also came across this czcams.com/video/HyU7acPTtu0/video.html The narration is torture, but history on Porter, photos, and pics of paintings are fascinating.
Wonderful video, as always! Watching your video every Friday is one of the highlights of my week! I discovered your channel while pregnant last year. It was a hard pregnancy mentally and physically. I watched all your videos and it bolstered my spirits. Now I watch it with my baby. I tell her "Let's watch Sandi! We love Sandi!". Thank you for sharing your art and your sweet spirit with us!
Awe man- I loved this comment!!!
That quilt!!!!😍❤😍!!! You two are kindred spirits!! Your birds are so cool. You really can feel their personalities looking at them!!
It’s soooo special to me!
I so enjoy hearing Cooper's nails on the hardwood floor! Once again great video! Thanks.
I'm glad you enjoy that Kathy! Thank you!
😢
The way you approach you daily joy is so inspirational. The quilt and the sharing of your gift is truly one of Gods blessings of fellowship. Blessings Ms Sandi
Thank you ❤️
Your birds have wonderful personalities ! Thanks for letting us see them come to life
Thank you!
That quilt, wow! My mom was a master quilter, it’s an incredible art form and a beautiful legacy. And a true “labor of love” cuz the beginning is exciting and the end is so gratifying, but the middle is big and unwieldy and feels like it will never end!
Total labor of love!!!
Quilting is a different kind of art. It is amazing! People who quilt have a nice gift!!!
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.
Hi Sandi, I’m catching up with your older videos, they are a delight, thanks! ❤️
I love to see the way you connected with your creative friend at church. It's so meaningful when artists appreciate each other's gifts.
That quilt….what a gift of LOVE! I’ve made several little lap quilts so I can appreciate how much time went into creating that. yes! Be sure to use it….a worn quilt is a most beautiful quilt! I live near a large Mennonite community up here in Ontario, Canada and I see many, many quilts….the best ones are the worn ones cause they tell such a story of function, creativity, love and warmth.
I’m TOTALLY using it!
I feel like the music at the end was “Oh the overwhelming never ending reckless love of God” ❤️So perfect. And if it wasn’t then that was just Him blowing me kisses because it encouraged me!
Those hawks really delight me. That first dab of blue on the second one and POP, he came alive! And then you go at it with the colored pencils, wow. I love your sketchbook work!!!! I've told my husband I'm saving up to purchase an original. I explained how I felt about investing in you. Now it will take some time to save up but I'm determined. Love you Sandi ❤
Awe - thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Loved the two birds and owls 🥰🥰 Love you art work Sandi! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you ❤️
Same!
Hi Sandi, I love watching you paint! I really liked the owls and your process. That was so fun to watch. Paint shapes and no attention to details, no thinking, I have to try that and see what happens. That quilt was beautiful! It is an art, one that I would never attempt. I admire and appreciate an artist that can make such beautiful blankets by hand. I find it amazing. Great video!!!
Yes, I treasure that quilt!!!
I very much appreciate that you narrate what you are thinking. It is so helpful to understand the process of seeing.
And. This is just a great community! Shout out to you all❤! What kind, hopeful, and caring comments!!
such kind comments - the community here constantly encourages me!
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.
Thank you Eileen!
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
@@sandihester Thanks, that makes sense. Glassine is so useful in the studio!
@@Blick_Art I buy it in big rolls to wrap my paintings in when we ship them so I use all the left over bits for my sketchbooks
When I need to feel warmth in my heart and inspired creatively, I watch your videos!!
I was so into your owls and then suddenly the video ended. Didn't feel like 27 min at all! Love your old man hawk and the falcon turned into a stately gentleman when you slimmed him up. Before he looked a bit old mannish too 😂 Everytime I see you paint I feel like I can do that too. You keep inspiring me Sandi, every video 🥰
So glad you enjoyed the video and got inspired!!
My favorite 1/2 hour of the week :)!!!
That makes me happy to hear!
Sandi, thank you for showing us your process and sharing your journey. You are so dedicated to your work and it shows! Your heart comes across through your paintings. It’s a great mystery how God does this, but He is shining through you. 👏👏👏👏🧡☀️🐝
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!!!!
I really enjoyed hanging out with you while you were painting today, Sandi! It was very relaxing, and just what I needed.
So glad to hear that Karen!
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!
So much easier to take those things lightly! You can do it! Thank you for your kind words!
Oh my goodness me, the time/hours, work and skill that was needed by Jennifer to make the quilt is amazing. A true artistic talent, wow!!
I know 😭❤️❤️❤️
This video was so beautiful and funny! I love the sketches and just slapping the paint on! The owls and birds are so sweet. I love love the quilt wow! the quilt is so stunningly beautiful! Oh I really love the depth you are getting in the water of the lake painting, love the blues in there. Thanks for sharing Sandi, I could have watched way more!
Glad you enjoyed it!
LOVED your lake paintings particularly the small one. Like your humor in seeing the old man hawk painting and making the second bird less fat. You just go with whatever happens. A great gift to culivate
Thank you Karen!
Oh my gosh so much to comment on! Love the bird warm up...I agree the guy on the left looks like an old man.. I mean bird! Sandi that quilt is so beautiful! Your friend is very talented! Okay I am only part way through...lol
I know - the quilt is amazing isn’t it?!?!?
I've been on vacation and was so looking forward to getting back and being able to just sit and watch the new video. It was definitely worth the wait.
Awe - thank you Sandra! So glad you enjoyed it!
I look forward to Friday afternoons and watching your video. I learn so much. I am putting your class into my September budget so I can learn about acrylics. Thanks so much for your generosity and kindness
That’s awesome Glenda!!!
Thank you so much for just being you and for sharing 'you' with the rest of the world! Watching your videos just brings me back to myself,to the essence of who I am,to 'home'.You bring my passion for painting and creating to the surface again,so i just want to get all my materials out and just create for the enjoyment of creating,which is what it is all about essentially! thank you! :)
Thank you Fiona!
As a quilter myself I have made hundreds of quilts for others and my greatest joy is when I find out they are using the quilt 20+ years later. Please honor your dear friend’s gift to you by using, loving, snuggling that beautiful quilt. In my opinion, if you don’t use the quilt, that would be the same as you gifting a painting and having the recipient put it away in a cupboard for no one to look at and enjoy.
Totally agree and it’s getting lots of use!
Hi Sandi
Watching a show with the work of Cy Twombly. One of my fave artists. And then your post popped up painting birds. And lo and behold the writing and style reminded me so much of Twombly. So great the both of you. Thank you
we love you sandi
❤️❤️❤️thank you Anna!
Oh ....My.....Gosh....Sandi......so fun to watch and so inspiring! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
Awe - thank you Debbie!
Love the way you painted those birds so liberating and beautiful Sandy
Thanks so much
I enjoyed watching you painting birds. The whole process is fun because you work fast.
Thank you!
It's all about the birds. Well done!
Thank you!
oh my goodness...that quilt!! what a special item!
I know!!!! It’s stunning
I loved the part where you got the quilt! Your church is beautiful! I would love to see more of your faith in your videos. God bless
Wow Sandi! I loved this weeks video. You’re both so lucky to have connected with each other. So much Joy! X
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for another inspiring and fun video - you always send me off to do some art, today I drew a black crane with those wonderful Inktense pencils. This week early one morning in our urban garden we had a surprise visit from a sparrowhawk who flew off with one of this year’s young blackbirds. Sad, but bird life. Diana
so fun!!!
Love watching you work Sandi and your birds are the best!!
Thank you ❤️
That velvety dark blue in the lake is beautiful! 🤤😍
Loved, loved, loved watching your bird painting sketches and also such a beautiful quilt. I agree too with how precious it is to have a Christian friend processing the creative process with
Thank you!!!
As always hearing and seeing your process is inspiring. I bought a big sized sketchbook months ago, inspired by your sketchbooks. It’s still in my drawer. 🙄 Perhaps I’ll dare to fill in that blank page!
JULIE! get those sketchbooks out girl!
Hi Julie! I'll paint in mine, if you paint in yours!! I did the same thing lol! It finally is on my table😅
@@bella619 deal!
I always love watching you create! Your owls and hawks have so much personality! I painted an owl in my sketchbook a week or 2 ago now I might go back and add more color to it. What a lovely gift exchange between friends! 💗
Thank you Angela!
Thank you for another lovely video, Sandi 😘🙏❤️
I was painting my owls too as you were going along. Mine look more like birds. Lol!!! But it was definitely great practice. Very fast and not giving much thought. I love the beautiful quilt from your friend. So talented. ❤ Your paintings are looking awesome of the lake. 🙂
Owls are hard for some reason!
It's a quiet Saturday morning here in Kansas, and I have my beloved dog at my feet, coffee, and I'm drawing in my sketchbook... while watching your video 🥰 another beautiful and inspiring video! I love the spread you created with the owls. And the quilt is absolutely stunning 😍 ♥️ Have a wonderful weekend and week ahead - I look forward to next week's video!
thank you so much Monica!
Lovely as always Sandi. Love the owls and that quilt - OMG love it.
Thank you Tracy!
great video! I really enjoy the birds (read animals). I hadn't thought to do a double page of various animals, which is strange, as i often sit w/ the tv going and sketch groups of 3 of whatever. Beautiful quilt, aren't you the lucky one with such a friend. Was happy to hear Cooper visiting the studio. Do give him extra pats, so he knows we are thinking of him. ty
Thank you!!!
Thank you Sandi for another great video, you make me smile and inspire me every Friday.
That makes me happy to hear!
Those birds!!! That quilt!! 😻😻😻
Aaah those lake paintings are stunning! Would love to hear about how you build up layers and get all that yummy texture on your paintings! Love your work Sandi! 💛
Thank you!
That’s nice you got a handmade quilt. I have made those too and my sister used to confiscate them 😂 They are a bucket load of work… and yes, it does take creative energy to make them… designing then choosing and arranging colors. So many fabrics I used to get overwhelmed. I have two boxes of fabric pieces in the garage that are twenty years old… a gold mine for a scrappy quilt.
I adore that super colorful owl (elf?) from the sketchbook spread! He is so festive and unique, and second only to your buzzard-hunchy hawk who I also found so adorable as well! Great episode, Sandi!
I like that name hunchy hawk!!!
Loving the lake paintings 😍
Thank you!!!
Love your birds, always find inspiration from you!
Simply love watching you paint! The eyes of those owls.are so exrpessive! 😯👌👍💌🌸💕
Thank you ❤️
This was a really fun video. I’ve been away from my paints … life intervened this summer…this week I’m setting up some large sheets of crap paper on my easel and going to P L A Y!
🙌 have fun!!!!
Thank you for the video. The old looking bird is so funny. This quilt is amazing an it is definitely a big piece of handcrafted art. It tooks hours and hours to create such a beautiful piece. Good deal and compliments to your friend!
So glad to see the birds come back. I love them!! The quilt is beautiful too. Thanks so much for the video.
Your videos inspire me to create and finally have fun making art. I have lots of reference books of my own that i'm going to go dig out right now! :) Thank you for being you!
Awesome! Have fun!!!
Sandi...Love those owls you did. They are fabulous! I especially like the first one you did...the dark orange one. He is just something! 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! And how lucky you are to have such a great and really special friend and then to exchange each other's creations. And that quilt really is special, but then so is your painting! 🙏🏼. Thanks for sharing all this with us. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much Nancy!!!
❤️☺️
Ohhh... I love your birds, Sandi... so inspiring!! 🥰ohhh my... that quilt is beautiful!! 🤩
I love your owls!
❤
Thank you!
The warm up birds have such personality! They might need some names! Your self talk and sharing your process is so helpful and inspiring to me as a new artist. More classes coming??? Thank you Sandi
thank you Julie!
Loved your bird sketches . You inspire me .
Thank you Trudy!
Wonderful video! I can appreciate what a treat it is to get that gorgeous quilt from your sweet friend. To get a quilt is truly a gift of love. Making a quilt is no easy feat. I know from experience because I’m a quilter too:)
It was pure joy watching you paint your birds this week Sandi. I love how you share your thoughts with your viewers as you grab your different paints and pencils to create your little masterpieces. So much fun!💝

The hunched over bird is awesome! Makes me smile.

You are an inspiration. After seeing your great bird prints, I’m getting a sketchbook and going to try bird prints.
Hooray! I've been waiting for more bird painting :) Just love your take on them and watching you create them. Thank you for sharing as you do. :)
So glad you enjoyed it!
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!
Thank you Helene!
Marvelous! Gotta go and paint now!
🙌
@@sandihester I packed my sketchbook and drove to the local waterfront and drew boats. Mostly pure contour drawing, I drew them slowly, not really looking at the page, observing the shapes and their connections. I had such a lovely time. Then went to a book fair, $1 &$2 ex library books and bought a great big book of local birds... fabulous inspiration for some wild bird shapes and patterns! Thank you Sandy for all that you share.
@@sueanderson7386 🙌🙌🙌
You are golden. A fabulous inspiration for me. I appreciate your Sandi style so much!
❤️❤️❤️
