Oh Sandi,you are a joy!!!I live alone and don't have family or friends, you cheer me up so much!!!I love my art and my art supplies make me so happy and watching you is the icing on the cake. Thank you for your videos.
That’s all anyone needs, their art supplies and their art. Great escapism. You should get a cat or dog as well if you don’t already. Great companions. 😀
I love these videos so much and like all your fans i look forward to every single one. I can't believe you manage to do this EVERY WEEK !! Every video is fun and informative and inspiring. And you're so genuine. you never act like a know- it-all even tho YOU KNOW IT ALL ( or at least it seems that way ) I also love the way you film and edit . such a great combination of detail, close up shots as well as farther away shots so we get the whole picture --and then little side things so we can greet Cooper or the cats----it's like it would be if we were in the studio with you ! I so hope you're feeling better - sinus infections are a drag .
Judy, what a great comment to get! I really can't believe I get one out each week either - but it keeps happening! I definitely don't know it all - but what I do know I love sharing with you guys. I'm so glad you enjoy my editing - I spend a lot of time each week working on it so I'm so glad it comes through! AND that it feels like you're in the studio with me is awesome! And, yes, I'm feeling better - that was filmed several weeks ago (I'm ahead on my filming - yahooo!)
We are all watching you here in Queensland, Australia. And you are just so talented with making of these videos. I love all the different painting gear you get and I love all your references you use, so you give us painters here some good ideas. I am a painter but im hopeless on computers and not able to make videos. You sure have a lot of supplies and we notice how much you love all the different colours. So thanking you for sharing all of this.
Awe Mary!!! What a nice comment to get! I feel like I have so many friends in Australia from the interview I’ve done and all the artists I follow from there! I’ll have to come for a visit sometime!
I don't at all understand beauty product hauls, or shoes and handbags...but art supplies? My drug of choice. lol. And oh, you are enabling a sketchbook habit that I really need to get control of. I have a weakness for paper things....oh, and huge window-envy, your studio is so beautifully bright *sigh* Thank you so much for sharing :)
I'm always so excited when you post a video... you are my favorite!! You always put a smile on my face.. which is especially helpful during this cold cold weather here in Michigan..!! Love your sharing art supplies!!
I recently got a sketchbook with grey paper which I love but I haven't tried any colours other than black, white and silver on it. Good idea to do the swatches of colour on a page!
I think the word you want is serendipitous. I have had some fun art supply hauls myself lately so it feels like we are doing it together. Have a great weekend!
I have no self control with new art supply unboxing 😅 Magenta and crimsons are my favorite pinks 😍 No good with measurements either / would be much easier for us to see real virtual sizes online for art supplies Oh my word that sketchbook!! I thought the edges were gold..... then you opened it and , BAM! 🤣 I’ve never seen a sketchbook with yellow paper........ can’t wait to see What you do with it 😊🌸
I have to dig deep for the self control these days because I need to be able to film - can't just jump in like I use to but that's ok - it's worth it! I've had so much fun with the yellow paper!
Love your art hauls when you really use the product, like here. It's fun to see how your immediate reaction to things sometimes ends up not lasting. New day, new way of using a tool! :)
I love how you share Sandi genuine authentic expressive honest love your beautiful artwork and energy love the yellow sketchbook everything about it discovering other things that will bless you with other experiences in your journey loved all the whole haul 🙌
Thanks Sandi. 😁 The yellow looks fun, but I noticed there was also a multi coloured journal. So interesting to experiment and see how each colour reacts with the different coloured materials. I also love the emerald green ink. (Might have to try.) Hope your 👃 has recovered. ❤️🌈
I like your chanel I paint with watercolors and acrylic and when I watch one of your blogs I am motivated and want to paint more thanks for the inspiration.
You are my favourite UA-cam artist. I hope you are feeling better soon and if you need to take time off to look after yourself, we would all understand.
Thank you Melissa!!! Really appreciate that! This was filmed a little while ago (I'm ahead on my filming which really helps me out!) as I'm much better now after the help of some antibiotics!
I love watching hauls. It gives me an idea on a product before purchasing it. I think I always hold my breath when I pick a color without seeing it. BUT then again it's fun to be surprised. We are funny. I was so happy to see a new video, kind of needed that mind relaxation today. Thanks 💘🙏
Ok... this what what I needed on this gloomy Friday! I was playing with using only green to sketch this morning and was discouraged. Then here you are with that wonderful page of green Higgins ink! You’re so inspiring to watch! I’m trying again tomorrow. Thank you for all you share. I’m sure it’s not as fun to edit video as it is to create so I’m grateful you film for us. Hope you’re feeling better!
I just got a black page sketchbook the other night and now I'm seeing this yellow.... I do NOT need it, but I really, really REEAAALLLYYYY Want the yellow. Some of my favorite doodles were on an ooooold piece of yellow posterboard that was probably left over from like the 80s.Yellow paper is a fun starter. I saw that there is a rainbow paged one too!!! Super neat!
I'm a day late and soon to be a dollar short because your haul makes me want to go buy something pretty and green on Blick 🤑. Thanks for the video, I hope you're staying warm and feeling better.
Like the yellow sketchbook with the colors you’ve used in it like the orangey- peachy and the gold but not golden metallic markers/pencils! I wonder if the reddish conte would be nice sketching color on the yellow & make nice for spontaneous style? Rex conte always makes me think of all the old master sketches prep for bigger works I’ve ever seen - hands, faces, noses, arms, anything that’ll be significant ….
Hi Sandi - I just recently discovered you and I love your videos so much!!! You are so genuine and fun, but also talented and different! Different in a good way. I love your style. I'm so inspired by you. I think you are going places girl! Thanks for sharing your life .... xoxo
AWE - Jill!!!!! THANK YOU!! Well, first - welcome - so glad to have you here! Thank you for the kind comment - I really appreciate you taking time to write me!
Hi, I don’t know how many of your videos I’ve watched in the last couple of days. I have subscribed but never commented , but just have to. You are so informative and still very entertaining at the same time Thank you for all of your information!
As I was watching, I pulled out my own sketchbook to swatch out some new coloured pencils! Did you know Golden Paints has come out with a new line called So Flat Matte acrylics? I thought of you when I heard about it!
So glad you did that while watching! Yes, I heard and contacted them and asked if they’d send me some samples and they did! Will be doing a review in the future!
Loved this video! I shop through my stash and tried to inspire myself. Found my derwent charcoal blocks. Messy but fun and you can use them with a paintbrush and the granulation is so cool. I think you’d love them!
you can make more pinky (cool) reds by adding a small amount of blue to red. then you can add various amounts of white and get all different pinks. If you add white straight to red it will give you a peachy kinda pink.
I know this is an old video, and by now you've long moved on from that leaky ink bottle. But... Blick is usually (always in my experience) pretty good about sending out a replacement if something is damaged when you receive it. Just contact customer service, maybe have a photo of the damage in case they ask for it. I've never had them ask me to send it back to them, so it's not complicated. They just get the details and send out a replacement right away. Anyway... back to the video! :)
Sandi, I am SO enjoying your channel. Someone in my Facebook group shared it. Thanks for sharing how you use sumi brushes. I've been experimenting with them- gave you some love in my latest vlog. xo
It’s weird how well they hold and release paint - all paint that I’ve tried so far they handle far better than a regular brush! So glad you’re enjoying them!
Oh Sandi,you are a joy!!!I live alone and don't have family or friends, you cheer me up so much!!!I love my art and my art supplies make me so happy and watching you is the icing on the cake. Thank you for your videos.
Awe- thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! Thank you for sharing!
That’s all anyone needs, their art supplies and their art. Great escapism. You should get a cat or dog as well if you don’t already. Great companions. 😀
Watching you makes ME sunshine, like, happy yellow sunshine! Thanks for all you do! You are a treasure
Awe - thank you Kathy! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@sandihester a folk artist you may like , her UA-cam channel is called; Mystele.
she mentioned you, and what a delight your channel is!
REALLY?!?! I’ll check her out! Thank you for telling me that!
I really enjoy your videos, they relax me, inspire me and I'm always waiting for the next one ... nice weekend!
Thank you! So glad you like them! Have a great weekend too!
GASP!!!! I NEED THE YELLOW SKETCHBOOOOOOOOKKKKK
It's pretty great, isn't it?!

That was Great fun to watch! Interesting I find out what you buy when I watch videos on YT.... huh
Well done babe!
That's funny baby! But I guess it is true!
The dark side of UA-cam channels! 😂 We get busted buying new supplies.
@@1Letter23Numbers. so true!!! thankfully my hubby supports me!
You are a blessing in our life Sandi..
Awe - thank you Christine!!!

I have a weakness for paper things....oh, and huge window-envy, your studio is so beautifully bright *sigh* Thank you so much for sharing :)
Melanie I totally have a sketchbook habit too - eek! It's also terribly hard to wait to use it.
I'm always so excited when you post a video... you are my favorite!! You always put a smile on my face.. which is especially helpful during this cold cold weather here in Michigan..!! Love your sharing art supplies!!
Ohhhh I’m so glad to hear that! So glad you enjoyed it!
You are my favorite to!!
I recently got a sketchbook with grey paper which I love but I haven't tried any colours other than black, white and silver on it. Good idea to do the swatches of colour on a page!
Grey paper is SO MUCH FUN! Yes, do the swatches because colors look SO different on colored paper and besides it's just so much fun to do!
Such an enjoyable video. I'm SO GLAD you are here, such a pleasure.🥰
Awe - thank you Katt!
It really is like Christmas to get new art supplies. Love the video. I love birds. Your bird sketches are amazing in your new yellow sketchbook. 🎨🎨🎨
Thank you so much!
I think the word you want is serendipitous. I have had some fun art supply hauls myself lately so it feels like we are doing it together. Have a great weekend!
Love that!
Love your videos and art hauls! It's funny how colour preferences are so personal. When you held up that bright green I just went: Oh, hello green! 🤩
Thank you so much! That is funny (about color)!
Phthalo Blue and Quin Magenta are a couple of my fav colours :) Phthalo Blue and Phthalo Green make a beautiful turquoise.
That's awesome! I'm just recently warming up to turquoise :)
Shumtuously bumpety - have the best Artists life Sunday Valentine Sandi and Grady xox
😂 thank you!
I have no self control with new art supply unboxing 😅
Magenta and crimsons are my favorite pinks 😍

Love the unboxing and I do look forward each week to your videos! Thank you for all you do to inspire (and enable me to buy art supplies LOL)
You are so welcome! Oh no - I'm being an enabler???!!!! Oooops! Glad you are enjoying the videos!
@@sandihester Well a little in the art supply department, but it is all happy enabling--no worries!

Yes, I don’t know why I didn’t get the multicolor 😒!
I love your birds!!!

So glad you liked it!!! Yes, I LOVE charcoal but i also hate it - the mess just gets me!!!!
I feel you! They come in blocks and I use a paintbrush! I don't use it any other way.
Hope you are feeling better, Sandi! Thank you for inspiring me to adventure away from white paper for painting/sketching 🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you - I am! That was filmed a little while back so I'm much better now!
you can make more pinky (cool) reds by adding a small amount of blue to red. then you can add various amounts of white and get all different pinks. If you add white straight to red it will give you a peachy kinda pink.
do you ever do pen and ink work? if so, try a glass dip pen with fountain pen ink or acrylic ink
Such a pretty sketchbook
Thank you so much!!!
impulse purchase. my favorite kind.
🤗
The green Higgins ink is stunning 🤩
I know!!!! 🙌
Loved it ❣️
Sooooo glad Pat!!!
Love your videos! I look so forward to them now :-)
Awe - I’m so glad to hear that ❤️- thank you!!

I saw that golden is releasing a new finish called soflat- I think they’ll be similar to the flashe paints you like!
Yes! I’ve already contacted them and they’re sending me samples to review for you guys 🙌
Very like, this vídeo Sandi
Thank you!

Oh thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it and I can't wait to check your channel out today!!!! THANKS A TON for the shout out!!
@@sandihester Absolutely my pleasure- I can't hardly put my smallest sumi brush down now! Mwah!!!
It’s weird how well they hold and release paint - all paint that I’ve tried so far they handle far better than a regular brush! So glad you’re enjoying them!
Quin magenta is so pretty
yes!!!
Have you thought about drawing with colored pencils? Fill better fast! It was a fun video and I love the yellow paper. Fran
So glad you enjoyed it!
What is the difference between acrylic gouache and flesh paint?
Flashe is a vinyl paint but it’s similar because it dries matte
Nice Channel👍 Subbed 🙂
Awesome thank you so much - and WELCOME!
really love your table top easel Sandi
Thank you! I love it too! It works really well!
