Glad you recharged your batteries and got some painting in! We hope that desk never gets too clean, it's a work of art all on its own!
I feel the same Blick! Plus, I can’t ever find anything when I tidy up 🤪😂
I just went back and watched more of your videos. I just started following you recently. All I can say is you are soooo creative. Your videos are so honest and inspiring. I don’t get as excited about painting and art from any other UA-camr. I hope your viewer numbers continue to grow. You deserve a huge following. And the world deserves your joyous personality. Thank you for being you.
Well Jill thank you for such a kind comment! So encouraging!
I've been going through depression/anxiety lately and your videos help so much. I was excited to see a new video today. Thank you for the videos
So sorry to go through this... I'm 69 and also experience this... just came across her videos yesterday and also heard a podcast with Jeanne and Sandi together on The Lies of Perfectionism... God made it happen... bless you ... from a California Gramma ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear about the hard time!
Is anyone's watercolor palette clean?? If so, I'm not sure I trust you!! LOL. Another fun video. Thank you for sharing!!!! ❤️
😂 I agree!
Welcome back! For some reason when I watch I feel like I'm in my own studio. Hard to explain, mine is totally different. But because you open up your space and your heart I feel right at home.
I just paused at around 16:00 because I started to cry at how beautiful those paintings are in the sketchbook that you’re showing. They’re superb.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you Kimberly!!!
Those JO paints certainly were gorgeous. Wish they weren't $128 for 6 small tubes, though. Definitely not affordable for most artists.
They are specialty for sure!
I love how you say 'that's nice'😃
I say it wayyyyyy to much
@@sandihester maybe, but there's a lot of excitement in yours 'that's nice'. I like to hear it😁
It makes me so happy to see you creating with our new vintage mineral watercolors. You are such an inspiration to all of us!
I LOVE them Jeanne!!!!!
I'm so glad you had such a good time camping and painting, you deserve the time off! The watercolors you showed are stunning and my shopping list for Jeane Oliver is getting so long 😍💞🎨
I know - I want all her stuff too!!
I've been going through a painting rut and watercolours are my primary medium so I am SO EXCITED that you made this!
Oh good!!! Hope you enjoy it!
Fun to see you play with watercolors, I'll definitely give that other video a look. I have a number of CFM (Case For Making) watercolors, they're lovely. There's a really interesting color called Glow that works with other colors to give them a little umph. I'm also a fan of that Moss color and Lime, great for mixing 🪄
I’ve really enjoyed the CFM!
I can speak for EVERYBODY in saying we missed you, but glad you got in some rest and painting while camping. I hope Cooper enjoyed his outing too. The colors are beautiful I agree. I started out too in watercolors but slowly started in acrylics. I am still trying to find my style and what excites me. I do know it was a JOY watching this video and hearing your soothing voice. Sending much love from NC. 😉
Well, thank you Christine and YES Cooper had a GREAT time!
Love yo see what you are up to with watercolour ( or any medium really). Getting back into using watercolour myself so it is especially inspiring to see your watercolour work!
Ohhh awesome!
As a watercolorist, I loved it. Thanks for sharing. Super fun! I love all the colors and the greens, blues, and all of them!
Thank you ❤️
Im also going back to watersolors after alot of acrylic painting. Watercolor is like magic making things by it self. I have to be the conductor some how. Just also sorted all my colors and now it feels great. I have alot of paint but that did not stoped me from getting some more. Since it was a log time ago I used watercolors there are alot of new interesting things so get my hannds on, and I could not resist. bought some pastell, metallic and granulating watercolors. Cant wait to try them out. Thanks for your inspiring videos.
I could've watched three hours of this video 😂 the Jeanne Oliver colors, omg I can see some of my favorite color pencils that look just like those watercolors and I definitely need them! so excited for this because I have not been using my watercolors that much. And I'm so glad you could take a break and enjoyed painting like a maniac 💛
I’m so glad you enjoyed it that much!!!! Loving the new watercolors!!!
Wonderful that you could rest and recharge. You inspire me so much. Those colored ribbons in the book from your previous video really got me going. Thank you for sharing so freely with us.
Love those Jeanne Oliver colors, I think they will play well with my Derwint drawing pencils. Thanks for a great video!
They’re really great!
So happy to see you doing watercolors again!!!
I’m happy about it too!
Sandy, I made myself a travel Watercolor kit by using an old pencil case 10 normally a 36/24 is a nice largest size or you can use at 12 pencil 10. You can fit a whole heap more in it and it will take half pounds in full pants or you need to do is magnetise the bottom or use some blue tack.
I LOVE painting along with your videos, makes me feel really excited! and it's heartwarming to see someone who gets as excited about art materials and playing with colours as I do!
I haven’t made art in about a year now. I was overworked 60 hours / week sometimes 2-4 weeks without a day off. Got a new job and now Going on vacation and bringing my sketchbook! 🎉😃 missed watching your videos I’ll have to catch up
Hope you have a great time on your vacation!!!
I am just started with watercolor. looking
Another beautiful Video, Sandi Thank you for all the work you put in to bring us this beautiful content!
Thank you so much Amber!!!
Love the new colors from Jeanne Oliver
Me too!!!!!
Thank you Sandi! The new watercolors are 🤩.
Welcome back! You are always inspiring and now looking forward to some watercolour fun! Thanks for all your sharing.
Here in Europe we can get Savon de Marseille, originally made with olive oil, now may contain palm/coconut. The scented versions are beautiful in the bathroom, the regular unscented ones are perfect for gentle brush cleaning and also for laundry stains.
Glad you filled your well. Can't wait for the landscape class. I kinda want everything you've shared from Jeanne Oliver.
I’m quite excited about the class too!!!
Your enthusiasm is so contagious -- seeing those JO Paris watercolors was AMAZING!!! So glad you had time off, and so glad you are back!
Ms Sandi. I love your inspiration and the way you show your joy. I really hope you continue to give yourself “rest” days. Blessings
🥰 thank you ❤️
You are so the ‘real deal ‘ it is heartening to watch your freedom of painting without expectation. Love
I'm so glad you had a productive and refreshing weekend off. You do sound so happy and renewed. Fun video and I love those new watercolor paints your friend gave you, they're beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend. 🍃🍂🎨
Thank you Keren!
Thank you, Sandi. This was great info. I just ordered new watercolor paints to complete the palette I want to work in (corresponding to the oils I work in) and watching you mix the different ones was very helpful to see. I am a Newby to w/c really. Lots of playing ahead! Take care. ❤
Have fun playing!!!!! So glad you enjoyed the video!
"I wish you could see my insides at how excited I am about this blue" .... Brilliant.
😂😂😂
I love the little removable metal pans you showed at about 17:30. I kept thinking that they looked somehow familiar. It finally hit me. They are just like the little pans in makeup palettes that come filled with eye shadow, blush, powder, etc! I immediately dug out some old, used up makeup palettes, pried out the little pans, and washed them! They are perfect! My watercolor palette is plastic, so I couldn't use magnetic straps to hold them in, but tacky putty works great. I'm not ever gonna throw out an old makeup pallet without removing the pans from now on! 😀
That’s awesome!!!!
Yaaaaay! Thank you!
So glad you are back and watercolors too! Case for Making (CFM) is the best handmade watercolor shop and it's local to me in San Francisco. They just do little things that go above and beyond regular art stores. For example, way back on September 9, 2020 we were at the peak of horrible fires here in California. Case for Making made a handmade watercolor that is "custom blended from 4 of their core pigments to represent the color of the sky that day the sun didn't rise due to the smoke and ash being pushed above the marine layer-blocking out the daylight". We will never forget that day. If you are ever in Northern Caifornia, they are worth a visit and have ceramics as well as other items in their shop.
So cool to know that!!!
Love Case For Making!
My watercolor order from Jeanne came in this morning 👏🏽👏🏽🌸 so how Perfect is your upload today ‼️ I ordered ‘Bellagio’ & the curated colors are amazing 💕‼️ Went back & ordered ‘Paris’ using your code so thanks 🙏🏽 for that. Going to go Swatch now. 👋🏽☺️🌸🌸🌸
Ohhhh nice!!!!
Yay watercolors!!!!! 🧡💕🧡
Blue tac works great to keep pans from sliding around.
👍🏻❤️
can't wait for your landscape course!
🤗🤗🤗
Those watercolours from Jeanne are amazing. The Lakeland Slate is named after a slate commonly found in the stunning Lake District in the UK. I saw the Paris set the other day online .... I am saving up!
I’ve really been enjoying using them!!!
They also do these fab pigmented drawing stones, which I think you would love.
They are Wallace Seymour Paints. Lakeland Slate is £8. They do open stock, and ship to US. They also do these colours in acrylics, oils, pastels.
Those Jeanne Oliver colours are to die for!! 😍
They’re so nice!
Ohh love it.
Just found you yesterday and connected to the podcast of you and Jeanne on Lies of Perfectionism... oh boy, did it bless my heart! Thank you for today!!! I started to watercolor about a year ago but stopped painting for a few months... dealing with issues... happy 😊 to see you delight in swatching watercolor... it makes me happy to see vivid colors... of course the fun of new items in the mail made me laugh!!! You're funny and a joy to watch! A California Gramma ♥️
So glad you enjoyed the podcast!!!
I've been going through some of you videos. I have not painted for a really long time, and when did the fear of not being good enough always stopped me + my ultra awareness of myself and that problem. My mindset have been changing lately, I want to try again. I really needed these videos, they are a real booster, thank you for sharing!
So glad they’ve been a booster 🤗
Thank you for another super inspiring video! Your sketchbook pages are so beautiful. I love those muted watercolors and how they granulate. Hope you had fun camping & congrats on 20k subs!
Thank you Sasha! So glad you enjoyed it and THANK YOU for noticing the 20k 🥰🤗
It's been a long time since I've watched any of your videos. I took a loooong break from UA-cam, but it's good to be back.
Your videos are always delightful.
It's good that you were able to take a break and are now back at it. That sign is really cool!! I've been meaning to try that kind of watercolour paint, the ones in those cubes that are better quality than the kind that you get in school painting sets.
Have fun camping!!
Welcome back!
@@sandihester thanks so much! :)
Hello Sandi, I must say that I found your channel less than a week and I am addicted, I have watched your sketchbooks an tryin materials and its all so Unique and inspiring, loved how playful you are with colors and the way you mix those 👏👏👏I just wanted to say thank you.
Awe - thank you Maria! Welcome and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the channel!!!
You are amazing! So polyvalent! I love it. Continue to surprise me.
The way Sandi uses color is inspiring for sure!
Thank you!!!
I’ve used that magnetic tape on my pans, but it never stays stuck. I started putting a dot of super glue on the magnet before I stick it on. That has worked. 😊❤️
Ohhh - that’s good to know - I was about to order some
Algorithms/Shmalgorithms. You enjoy your time off and don't let a robot bully you! Loved the new colors and the sketchbook peeks. Cannot wait to see what you come up with next!
😂 thank you!
Inspiring video, as always, thank you Sandi 🙏 ………and you’ve made it to 20k subscribers! Woohoo! 🥳
Thank you! And thank you for noticing the growth! It’s very encouraging!
Such an inspiration ❤️
I agree! very gifted artist!
Definitely a fun and “you” video. Once again you have motivated me to get out my watercolors and swatch them. And then…my “ta da’s” will begin! Thank you.
So glad it was motivating!
This is probably random.. but I like that piano in the beginning. What/who is it.... and as always, I thoroughly enjoy your videos.
Oh my goodness! I just saw you uploaded a new video and couldn’t hit play fast enough! For some reason I was thinking it would be next week before we got a new one. This just made my Saturday morning and now I want to go play in my paints. So happy you had a great trip. Oh, those new watercolors you showed us are AHHH-mazing! Thanks Jeanne for the discount.
Ohhh good - so glad it was a nice surprise!!!
Haha...I cant believe that you do it too! I do the same thing when I go across the street to our mailbox. My hubby always says it’s weird and that no one else just leaves mail sitting there...but I do...and now I know that you do too😀 Oh and I literally laughed out loud when you said “this poor sink never gets cleaned”...I think that’s what they call an understatement 😂
That made me laugh about the sink!!!! 😂😂😂
Yay... my Friday is better now, thanks Sandi..!!
🥰
yeaaaaaaaaa...grabbing a drink
enjoy Kathleen!
That blue would be awesome to paint stones in a landscape or a rock cliff it is filled with emotion
I do the same thing with the mail box 🤣
It’s a thing 😂
So excited to see you doing more watercolour!
I’m excited too!
Fluorescent pink and fluorescent green make good mixing colors. That's how I use them anyway. Great video! Thanks!
Good tip
Watercolors are so fun! Getting new art supplies are part of the fun! :)
Totally agree!
Love this video Sandi, so inspiring! I’m learning to use my watercolors more expressively too! It’s really fun.
That’s awesome!
Try using white appliance spray paint to refinish your crusty watercolor palette!
Hell, everyone needs vacation time. I love the sounds of your painting on location while camping. We are purchasing a new camper and I can’t wait to take my art supplies and have some fun too!! ! >>>annnd…that Paris Palette is to die for!!!! Man..i was practically drooling!!! Have fun this weekend! Can’t wait to see what you do! :). Oh…but no pressure. Lol
You’re going to have so much fun camping and doing art!!!
Thank you sooo much for this video. I had been looking for the watercolor brand you got from Jeanne Oliver with no luck and now I know where to get them and even with a discount!
Whoa those little mixing trays in your palette are genius!!! And I showed one of your videos to my class two weeks ago and yesterday they were telling me how inspired they were to use their sketchbooks and just play! I should have videoed it to show you! They were so so so inspired and love what you did for them in one video!!! Yay
Eeeeeee that makes me soooo happy to hear Diane ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for telling me!
I lloooovver CaseForMaking WC. I have three of the tiny tins that hold a dozen colors. I group them by color. So easy to take to the zoo. It firs on your hand.
I'm glad you're back! I hate that algorithms 'punish' you for taking some time off. You deserve your holiday.
I know - it’s not fair 😞
Love your new palette organization. Makes way more sense in my head to have it arranged like that instead of the way it's "supposed" to be. Why do we not just put things the way that makes sense to us?! Great video as usual! ❤️
I agree!
Love your studio! it has great light and atmosphere. I also enjoyed all the paintings in the background. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
I would like to see the pieces you painted in the camping trip. Must have felt wonderful just paint without worrying about filming. It's good to take a break from UA-cam from time to time, as a creator. Love your videos. Have a great weekend, Sandi.
I’ll definitely share!!!
What only fifty million haha! love this video. Thanks for inspiring me again. Makes me want to break out my watercolors too! beautiful!
Go for it Gwen! It’s been a fun medium to get back to
Yaaaay! 😁😁
Hi sandi love your videos just started using mix media myself still trying loosen up my work hard sometimes . Deb obrien. Australia
It’s always harder than people think it will be
I missed you so much during this time... I looked at the video and it was 36 minutes.. no one is happy with me right now :)
🙌🤗🤗🤗🤗
I have watched the first 10 seconds 100 times!👌💕💕💕💕💕 now i will watch the rest if the video!🥰
😂🙌 really?!?!? I love that!!
That texture!! That granulation! How have your Wallace seymoUR held up in their pans? Do they rewet nicely? I’ve read a few reviews saying they crack and are hard to re-wet and I am gifting Lakeland Slate and Davys Grey to myself for my birthday and wondering if I should add something to the pan like glycerine to help it. There aren’t many reviews of the vintage watercolour range around so it’s hard to know what to do.
Jackpot! Watercolor is my medium of choice so I’m going to pretend this was made just for me 😉😅 Thanks for all the awesome resources, Sandi!
🥰🙌
You know what's freaking me out Sandi? You scrubbing with those watercolour brushes haha! Gorgeous colours and your videos always make me want to paint 😊💜
I know - I hear that a lot. But using your brush - really using it makes a difference!
❤️
great sign to put in an artist's house 😀
your sink looks like every used artist sink I've come across lol
What color and who makes that lime green watercolor?
Loved it Always enjoy ❣️
Oh finally a new video! I have missed you 🥰 But I'm glad you had a nice time. Everyone needs to recharge ones in a while. Your new watercolours are gorgeous, but you might have to stop using the term limited palette.... Just say palette, because you doesn't fool anyone with your "limited palette" phrase 😄 Nothing about your art supplies are limited 😂 I am exactly the same, making the craziest excuse to buy something new 🙈 Anyway, thank you for another great video 🥰
This cracked me up sooooo much!!! I don’t think I even realized I say that a lot 😂
Lol, over time I have noticed that all your palettes has gotten less and less limited 😄 But you still say limited palette 😂 However, lately you doesn't say it with the same confidence as earlier. Now your "limited palette" talk, always are followed by a lot of mumbling and hand gestures 😂😂
@@Alice_in_artsupply_hoarderland this is cracking me up sooooo much!!!!!
Hopefully I didn't offend you... 🙈 But I thought "Sandi.... She can handle this... " 😂 Sometimes making jokes online, in another language, to a person on the opposite part of the world, can be interpreted the wrong way 😱😂
@@Alice_in_artsupply_hoarderland no offense at ALL - totally cracked me up!!!! Loved it - was telling Grady about it this morning 😂
The red in the top row at 11:14 is quinacridone rose or quinacridone magenta (I'm pretty sure it's rose)
hi Sandi! thank you for this video! I went to Jane Oliver sight to look at the paints you got. They are absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately they are on back order so I wasn't able to get them! I guess I'll just have to wait! Have a wonderful day!
I j ow - I’m so sorry to hear that Debbie! Daniel Smith watercolors have a lot of pigments that have granulation that you may want to check out and Natasha Newton has a UA-cam channel and she swatches a TON of watercolors so you might find some similar pigments there
@@sandihester thanks Sandi! Have a super wonderful day!
Would Love to see how you will be using your wc Sandi.
loved this video ...so happy you are refreshed! Quick question- what video camera are you using to film your videos? such great close ups and clarity! thank you!
Sony zv1
I know the brand beautiful colors 😃 and beautiful Chanel I like your work I just found you
Thank you Georgina!!! And WELCOME!
Love you lady
❤️
So enjoyed 🙂. What a beautiful watercolor set from Jeanne Oliver. Also love the other watercolors and the very cool sign. UA-cam & other's algorithms are so annoying!
So glad you enjoyed it!!!
I love your videos so much…I think you could swatch rocks and I’d order them!
😂 well, thank you ❤️
Do you have a large ceramic palette for your studio watercolours? Then you won’t be battling rust and corrosion for your in the house work.
I don’t - I like to be able to grab and use it on location
Hellow Sandi, i very like this vídeo. How are you?
Thank you!
How are you mounting your camera so that you don't see it or the tripod in your video?
