I love your sketchbook tours because it gives me permission to play. It’s not about being good as it is about playful expression. Then you can. Get it all out and move on to other projects.
So glad it gives you some freedom 🤗
I have such a hard time doing this in my sketchbooks. I’ve discovered keeping a ton of printer paper on hand that I can be free on helps me. If I like the results, I can tape or glue it into a sketchbook. If not, I throw it away.
Once I got over trying to make all the drawings my sketchbook finished pieces, I’ve accomplished more and had a lot more fun with materials. Thanks for the inspiration.
Yep - that’s a much better way to go!
Looking through your sketchbooks really inspire me to just get on with creating something and not be too hesitant 😊
🙌
I have been working in my sketchbooks the past few months motivated by your freedom and play. My husband will sometimes catch me and give a sort of judgmental frown and I feel a cold chill BUT I immediately think of you, Sandy, and hold my ground internally. Thank you so much for supporting this kind of art work. It's a very immediate, tactile, and intimate way of working that leaves me feeling more alive (even in the face of criticism). Sending best wishes for 2023!
Sandi, I have hoarded sketchbooks and pretty little journal books for my entire life (58 years) until discovering you and your wonderful channel! December 2022 I finally took your advice and began using one of the many I have "saved"! Today, I sold two watercolor paintings from my sketchbooks......I sell paintings often but these were just my practice sketchbook ones! Thank you for all the inspiration and for the fire you lit under me to use those books! BTW I shop at the same Jerry's!!!! Thanks for being YOU!!!!
That’s awesome! Congrats on the sale!
I can't wait for the publication of your sketchbooks! It will be such a thrill to linger over the images, move the pages nearer and further away for perspective, and look at the lines and brushwork! I have just recently recovered from Covid, and I had the opportunity to rewatch many of my favorite Sandi videos! Your artwork and enthusiasm always make me smile and motivate me to get out my supplies! Thank you, Sandi, you are a blessing!
So sorry about the sickness but thank you for rewatching!
@@sandihester 🥰
Sandi, I love your sketchbook tours because every page says, "Fun, Play, Exploration, Learning, and Knowledge Gained!" I feel so intimidated and discouraged seeing other artist's "curated" pages, which make a sketchbook look like a contender for a museum collection rather than a place to stretch oneself.
I sincerely hope that what I’m about to say is received as a compliment, because it is intended to be a most observant and intentional compliment: I personally do not enjoy your art but I do very much enjoy and respect not only your technique but what I can glean to be the reason that your style is the way that it is. You’re so focused on just having fun and experimenting and that makes everything so exciting and aesthetic! I can tell that part for you really is an expression of the inner child, more so than I think I have seen from anybody. The vibes of your artwork is absolutely fantastic. And even though I don’t personally like your style I admire the fact that you commit to it so much that it is a noticeably childlike and defined style. Your art is a pure act of commitment and expression. I’m so excited to dive deeper into your channel! Thank you for being you and thank you for giving me and the rest of the world your opinions and experiences on all of the different brands and mediums that we can use to express ourselves with!
Lane I totally get that - there’s definitely art I don’t care for but can respect it and learn from it! Art is so subjective but there’s things to appreciate in all of it!
Dear Sandi. Your sketchbooks and art learnt me that the ART is not about how good I am in painting or in drawing but how I show things which I see and how I feel about them. Thank you very much to get back my happiness for creating. ❤😊😊
Also I love your animals and landscapes sketches .
REally miss your videos of painting on Canvases - starting a painting and the progression and the inspo sketches. I love your LOVE of ART!
Some of that is coming!
Hi Sandi! I enjoyed your tour, it waa fun, I especially liked your new paintings, it is great. Maybe it's just me, but when are we going to see you again?... LOL. I always enjoy watching you paint and working with colors, and explaining the process. Hoping to see you working on a painting in the near future. Have a great weekend.
Oh, have I not showed my face lately?!?!? Hmmmm
@@sandihester No... LOL.
I love the bugs 🐜 🐞 🐛 on the screen door of the first cat sketch in mud room
i love all your sketches, very beautiful and it reminds me of my childhood where you painted lots of geese with the lake, and those trees behind it , it just remind me of a place in wisconsin that i get to visit every summer! Im also going to college to learn different techniques in studio arts and this video motivate me to play with many materials and start a sketchbook journey, god bless you and all of you creative souls!😊✨🌞
Hi there! Best to you and yours for 2023. I have been able to spend time most days these past two years from the inspiration of your videos working and building my practice. Life got in the way for much too long. I wanted to thank you for sharing your practice!
You’re very welcome Kathleen!
Ahhhhh....my fix until next time!
YIKES.. Way to make the end of my year fantastic with a Sandi video..!! But first, must make my pot of coffee..!!
Enjoy ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, books please!!!! And ship them to Brazil! And when are you doing your own patreon? I’m finishing my PhD, which means my time will be mine again, and want to go back to drawing. Drawing sessions with you would be great!!!
"...without having to wash my hands..." lol! That'll be awesome to buy one of your sketchbooks, I can't wait. I love the line work figures you do. They're always so interesting. I am studying them 🧐👩🎨 And some of your indoor scenes with people, the style, reminds me of Maira Kalman's work as well. So much fun!
Thank you Sandi, you taught me to use my sketchbooks as reference for paintings. I know sounds obvious but I wasn’t doing that before. Always love your birds, that’s what you were painting when I first found you. Also liked the idea of doing quick pieces of landscapes while being a passenger in the car. Great ideas. 🙋🏼♀️🌻🇨🇦
Sandi, I love the dear picture where the deer are transparent on top of each other. I've seen it before when artists put deer and other animals with it. I love yours too!!
Your sketchbooks make me appreciate how even in the busiest scene, you find the big shapes and make them the heroes of your work. All the best to you for 2023. I'm looking forward to your landscape class.
Thank you! I don’t think I even notice that any more
Happy New Year, Sandi! You are my favorite artist on CZcams. I love your long Vlogs, your passion, your process, your art, it is just all so full of joy and inspiration. Thank you!!
Awe - thank you so much Heather ❤️
Thank you Sandi. So glad to see you, if only your hands. They are of course, lovely but I miss your lovely face. Hope your holiday season was grand and you are keeping well. Your sketchbooks always encourage me.
Someone else mentioned that I haven’t shown my face in a while - didn’t realize that
It's great that you have the sketchbooks as a place to practice your naive art in a safe, without judgement zone. It really does not matter what anyone else thinks and that's the key to enjoying your creative life. Keep having fun with your supplies.
That car sketch headed to camp is tremendously interesting and looks so fully developed for being a composite sketch
Thank you!
I’m excited to hear you will be publishing some work from your sketchbooks. The one done in the car on the way to your campsite was particularly stunning!
These sketchbooks are completely wonderful, and you are sooo generous with sharing your process with us! I cannot wait for your landscape class! Every video you post brightens my day and is hugely inspiring! So thank you! And May 2023 be full of inspiration for you! ❤
Thank you! The Landscape class is coming out VERY soon!
@@sandihester yay!!!! :)
17:30 if we could touch that drawing, the texture would feel like the softest thing ever. This is so nice and soothing
Absolutely love your sketchbooks Sandi. They're so juicy and delightful, such a feast for the eyes and soul. I have such appreciation for all that you share with us. Happy New Year to you and the family, looking forward to seeing all your beautiful work inn 2023.🥰🥰💜💜
Thank you Trudy!
Your sketchbook tours are always so fun and inspirational. Thanks for sharing them with us.
I Love your sketchbook tours ❤
Thank you! I always think your videos end too soon (SOO ungrateful but I can't help it!!). Happy new year to you and Grady!
I get it!
Your work is beautiful and uplifting! I’ve tried several of your tips and finding lots of joy as result
Since I've found your channel, you've opened up a whole new world to me and I will always be grateful. God bless you and Grady as you begin this new year.
Awe - so glad to hear that Layla! ❤️
i do love the all the birds, hoot hoot!
When you show all these paintings of the same scene and they all come out different....that reminds me of all the self portraits that Bryan Louis Saunders does! Same face- but all diffrent!
Ohhh cool!
@@sandihester if you don't know who he is, you should check him out! It's worth it.
Thank you for the tour, @sandihesterart. I wonder how you choose the colors in a drawing. I know you think about value, but it could be an inspirering and interesting video, if you could talk about it. ❤️🥰 I love your colors, compositions, motives and marks 🎨🤩😍
Most of it is color preference. Most artists are drawn naturally to certain colors. It’s how you develop your own style. I talk about that in my landscape class that makes coming out soon
Thank you @@sandihester 🌟 And you are right about the individual color preferences.
Your coming course sounds really intriguing 🥰🎨🌱
Your sketchbooks are so loose and playful and loaded with lovely color! Such a pleasure to see them! Thank you!
Thank you!
Looking forward to printed books of these sketches, they are wonderful! Happy New Creative Year!
🙌
Thank you so much for sharing with us I love your books!
Oh Sandi!
Wonderful!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I look forward to to buying a book of your sketches. You are a gift.
I love your sketchbook tours!! Thank you for sharing! I learn so much! Because of you I have more sketchbooks going at once. I use them all for different things. I keep one in the car also now. I feel sketch booking has helped me grow also. Thank you for suggesting it and helping us!!
Thank you Sandy for showing your work. I love the way you can combine colours and materials. You have such a good feeling for colours. ❤❤❤
I found you a couple of weeks ago, and I have watched so many of your videos. You have helped me so much already, i was slowly working into a slow painter’s slump, and have now devoured through my sketchbook just in these short weeks. I am looking forward to learning from you more. My daughter also loves watching your videos.
Thank you Amy! I’m so glad the channel has been helpful and I love that your daughter watches too!
Your work always makes me happy and gets me itching to start painting or drawing. Lovely to read so many people are inspired by it. When your book is out I will be a happy customer (please make it available in the Netherlands). Best wishes for you and everybody reading this.
Thank you Helen!!
Loved seeing your sketchbooks Sandi. I was just literally thinking yesterday that I wish you would make printed books out of your sketchbooks that I could buy. So happy you are going to do this. Have a lovely New Years xx
Thank you Kim!
I love how you draw. Everything. I follow you on Instagram and I always first love something and then realise it’s yours. Not because I don’t recognise your work (because I do) but somehow I always first connect to the painting and then (in a split second) see that it’s your work.
Such a nice comment Dana ❤️
Hey Sandi I've noticed the tone of your videos are more serious lately. Hope all is well and you are still enjoying yourself. Thank you for all your videos and hard work this year. I've learned so much from you.
Interesting- definitely don’t feel serious 😂. I do think I’ve filmed at times when I’ve been sick so there was probably less energy. Been sick for a while. Getting over the flu now 😫
Hurray it's always a joy to see your video in my feed in the morning. 🎨🖌️ Happy new year to you and anyone here who is celebrating. May 2023 be filled with art play and wellness.
I've had your advice and inspiration from many of your videos in my mind as I do a little in my sketchbook regularly, just playing and not worrying if it looks like something I did when I was 10 because I enjoyed the process ✨
Your colored pencil and multi media sketches have become so beautifully developed. Love all of your pages
Thank you!
Even in your sketchiest sketch, the observer can see your steady hand and gifted eye. It reminds me of some very minimal line drawings by Georgia Okeefe in the museum at Santa Fe.
Ohhh thank you Minna! Big compliment!
Loved the tour Sandi😊
Thank you!
Fun! Would buy a copy of your sketchbooks anytime!
Thank you Andrea!
Love my sketchbooks and how freeing they are since they're just for me. Oh and, the landscape to the finished piece...incredible. Hard to understand how you get from the sketch to that marvel but years of work and your artistic talent, sounds about right. Really looking forward to the class! Thanks Sandi
Thank you Nancy! Class is coming out SOON!
Always love looking through your sketchbooks. I'm learning a lot and I thank you for sharing your generous arty heart with us! xox.🥰
Thank you Toni
Looking forward to seeing what “Taking Notes in the Landscape” is all about!!
Ohhh good! VERY soon!
Love these! ❤️🖍️🖌️🎨
Your sketchbook tours always inspire me! Thank you for giving me permission to just create without worrying! I love it!❤️
Thank you for another tour, Sandi! I'm a new subscriber, just found your channel this or last week, and I'm already benefiting from it: I've had a really long pause in my arts practice since 'I'm not any good' and 'I'm just wasting materials with my scribbles' - but thanks to you, I've now pulled out my art journal / sketchbook and I'm ready to play again without pressure or expectations, already did my first loose landscape studies. Thank you for sharing your journey and advice, it's much appreciated!
So glad it’s been helpful and thank you!
Love your sketchbook tours 🥰 mine have a mix of good, bad, swatches, everything too. So fun.
That’s how it should be!
You art has such amazing energy 😍
Awe - thanks so much!
I can't wait for the publication of your sketchbooks, they are so inspiring! Thanks for sharing Sandi!
Very inspiring especially how you use them to create larger paintings. LOVED the painting you showed!
Also, as regards the blank pages i have been using a layer of clear gesso to keep bleed through from happening. I still prefer working direct on the paper but it protects well the other side of the page.
Nice tip
I ALWAYS love your sketchbooks Sandi! The only trouble with watching at 10pm is...I wanna go and draw now!! Love the coloured pencil sketches 💜
That’s funny but I also totally get that feeling!
@@sandihester I did a small coloured pencil and pen sketch while watching another video after yours 😆
@@GillianCrossArt I love that!!!
Ty for sharing so much of yr heart with us, Sandi. Y've helped me get thru an unexpected episode of something misdiagnosed that kept me indoors...drawjng, watching & reviewing kept me focused forward. Best New Year Ever, and hugs to all y'all.
❤️❤️❤️
Sandi hester i love your work videos and your personality so much 🤧
Thank you ❤️
stunning work. that pencil drawing at 17:37 looks crazy good as a thumbnail too - that's really difficult - to get that kind of effect when you're working close up. amazing
I have "ugly" sketchbook where I just do quick sketches and not worry about that result. It makes the process more fun and stress free😁 happy new year 🎉
Your work and ideas are inspiring
Thank you so much!
love your sketchbooks. whoop next year my goal will to fill more sketch books!
🙌
Happy accidents, failed experiments, loved them all! Thanks so much for the inspiring sketchbooks tour and have a wonderful New Year! 🐇
You made me very happy. I caught a really nasty head cold and I am stuck in sick 😢. I hope you had a blessed Merry Christmas .
I’m sorry to hear that!
I am truly inspired by your art practice, Sandi. I hope I can in the new year start a sketchbook practice. I love the idea that you will be making art books out of your sketchbooks to sell. I love all the textures and the loosey goosey lines. Hey... is that why you are drawing so many geese as of late??? 🤔 Hmm....
What a gift to find as it seem I caught COVID from my husband who caught it on Christmas Day! I loved getting a chance to get inspired by your sketchbooks again! I hope this is the beginning of a wonderful New Year for you and Grady!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I can't wait until your book comes out!
Very inspiring- thank you. Looking forward to a book of your sketches. 😀
That was totally inspiring! I loved your big finished piece and finally had an ah-ha regarding playing in sketchbooks and what might evolve. Can hardly wait for the landscape class! Happy New Year!
Ohh good! It’s coming very very soon!
I gotta say loving the colored pencil work and the landscapes.❤
Thank you! I’m enjoying using them in that way!
Happy New Year 2023 Sandi thanks for sharing I love your sketchbooks artwork love and peace 💜

Stunnnnnning Sandi. I could look at these for hours and hours. There’s so much to see and take in. Gorgeous! I miss seeing YOU in your videos though. Is that weird? Haha. Happy New Year!! ✨
Thank you Michael!!! Several people have said that they’ve missed seeing me - didn’t realize I haven’t been showing my face
@@sandihester we just love that bright happy face! 💕
Oh my, a Sandi video a wonderful end to 2022 🎉 Can you please tell me which tier you are in with Emma Carlisle? Best wishes for the new year and thank so so very much for all your time in creating amazing inspiration this year ❤
I can’t remember the name of the tier but it’s not the highest one - the one down from that
@@sandihester thanks Sandi. Going to join in 2023 x
Happy New Year 🎈🎊
I luv the 5min sift pastel sketch
Thank you!
Merci pour votre travail très inspirant qui donne beaucoup d’idées ! 🌅
That makes me happy to hear!
❤love your sketchbook tours!
Sandi you do make me smile
❤️❤️❤️🙌
Xhappy Christmas and New yr may it be just fantastic love hugs
Lovely sketchbooks! I will add my voice to the several people asking for more videos of you painting, as you used to show… but I am wondering if perhaps you will have that footage in your upcoming landscape course?
Yes, lots of that kind of footage in the landscape class
Lovelovelove your sketchbook tours! But it was over too quickly!
Thank you!
it's so interesting to see all your sketches and experiments in your sketchbooks. love them!
I have a question about your sheets of paper between your sketchbook-pages: You said, that they should be acidfree. But is your tracing- or wax-paper acidfree? Can you leave this wax-paper-sheets in your sketchbook for longer time? or do you take your wax-paper-sheets out, when you put your sketchbooks in your shelf?
I’m not sure if those are acid free that’s why I use glassine
Thank you Sandi, for avoiding using "speed painting" I can't watch youtubers that use speed painting as I actually get dizzy. So far, I haven't noticed that you resort to that format, which is very uncomfortable to watch. If at all possible, please don't start now. Because you are totally my favorite.
