Literally stops in the middle of a sentence to say "Squirrel!" then finishes the sentence. This is why Sandi is so much fun to watch. 🐿️😝
😂😂😂
I love that when my artistic vibes are flagging, I know that there is always a Sandi video to perk me up at the end of the week.. no pressure :-)
😂😂😂 thank you Sarah!
Hello so beautiful art supplies so nice
Made my heart smile with "eggbert" whilst talking about a filbert paint brush! I do the same thing with words sometimes. Live your videos!
Sandi you are such an absolute joy, I aspire to be living my best life and just painting constantly like you 🙈♥️
Awe - thank you Misia!
I love your videos! Your `smalltalk`and comments are hilarious. Often I keep your videos running in the background while I`m painting or doing other stuff, because it is so inspiring to listen to your excitement about artstuff 😊And I can totally relate to that 😁😂 Keep up the good work, Sandi ❤
So glad you’re enjoying the videos Maija!!!!! Thank you for watching and for letting me know you’re enjoying them!
i just discovered i can stencil with my dry watercolors how cool is that .ive made many pallettes with my pill bottle lids ,so fun ,i love all paints so fun to collect them,and use them ive painted for 27 years now i was 36 when i started thank you bob ross im 62 now and going strong ,i love your passion like me
I saw this pop up and saved it to savor after work. I think one of the things I like best about your haul videos is that it’s not haul for the sake of haul but truly is about what you use and, best of all, how you use it. It doesn’t make me feel like I’m just watching excess (does anyone else feel that way with haul videos?)
I’m SOOOOO glad to hear that Julie!!! I really want these to be helpful and not just encouraging more buying!
Hi Sandi, Enjoyed your lovely video ! I would like to recommend an art book to you that I thought you might enjoy, that is if you aren’t already aware of Elizabeth Blackadder. She is and was a renowned artist from Scotland. There are several books but the one I purchased was put out to mark her 80th birthday by the National Galleries of Scotland. It is a retrospective of her work. Just thought you might find it interesting. There are a few still life’s that somehow connected her work to you in my view. Thank you.
Hey Judith! I love ELIZABETH!!! I don’t have any of her books but I do love her work so much! I’ll check this book out for sure - thank you!
oh boy! just made my morning coffee I'm so looking forward to this 🧡
Ohhh good Linda! Hope you enjoy it!
A great video as always. Thanks for giving us such a full review on things. So fun
You bet!
Love the uplifting video. ❤ Your book Grady bought you is really nice. I also love the gifts Melanie sent you. Thanks again for taking the time to explain all the techniques. Very informative. See you next Friday. You and Grady have a blessed weekend. ❤🎨
So glad you liked it all Madelyn!!!
Will watch again in detail in the morning but just to say so happy my calendar is on your studio wall and arrived safely too ( despite the mailbox squish)!! You're a special lady x
I love my calendar so much Mel!!!!!!
Mel, I forgot to add links to your site but I’m doing that now!
Wow! This was a jam packed info-athon! I always appreciate your knowledge. I loved the cute lil polka dot dress at the start. You look like a ladybug!🐞. I am really looking forward to your Nova paint review😃
So glad you felt like that! Thank you Kana!
The only way to waste paint is NOT to use it. Use it people! :)
Amen- use it!
Sandi, you look extra beautiful today!😍
Awe - thank you!
I watch your videos like 4 times, I love them so mutch ❤
Awe - thank you ❤️
11,000 plus, amazing! I did an art haul today, too, there must be something in the air! 😂🤩 I love your hauls so much!
Must be! I’ll check your out over the weekend
I have enough from Blick to have my own art store. I just had a huge crush on an employee and kept making excuses to go visit. We have two kids now and neither of us have been back. I've got YEARS worth of material to work with.
😂😂😂
When my gel medium lid gets stuck on, I take the tip of my scissors and stick it under the lid as far as I can and bend the lid slightly to break the seal of the medium that has glued the top and the bottom together. I do that several times around the top and usually I can get it to come off by myself that way. Hope that helps!
Good tip! Thank you!
Thanks for another great video Sandi. Ive also purchased Utrecht acrylics which is comparable to Liquidtex soft bodies. No shine so far. Im also doing a ‘whites’ test. Love art hauls!
Interesting Gwen! What’s the consistency of the Utrecht?
I enjoy your hauls so much!!!! I’m an acrylic newbie & I’m learning sooooo much from you Sandi. Keep up your brilliant work 😀. Best wishes.
So glad to hear that Anna!!!
Colours, colours, colours - Love, love, love 😍😍😍
🤗🤗🤗
I'm going to be honest with you, I haven't finished watching this video yet but I wouldn't put too much hope in that easel. I got the same one just from a different brand I believe which was also a bit more expensive. It barely worked. The locks aren't very strong and being 222 lbs it nearly kept falling over and down. And the bar isn't all that great either. I just use it occasionally to hold up books when I do my art if I need to.
Thanks for the info Sandi. I haven’t tried the soft body yet. But Sandi, at about 25 minutes into the video, I noticed the painting behind you over your right shoulder-the one that looked like it had a largish white lily with pink center. I asked you to move over so I could see the whole painting, but I guess you didn’t hear me. So-maybe you can show us that one soon? 😋😁
That is so funny Diane! You can see it on my website www.sandihester.com
Um white acrylic that's flat would be the liquitex so flat, which is just that a flat matte white. May work well for what you do mixed media wise.
You can put a medium into your acrylic paints that is matte medium. And it kinda makes the white more opaque and les shiney. :)
Oh, you have it already, I think. Mine is by liquitex. And , it works pretty good.
great video as usual Sandi! Im glad you reviewed the Liquitex Acrylic Gouache. They have been on my curiosity list, so much so, I ordered 1 colour in my art haul to gage how I felt about them. (now of course I have an online cart with a bunch in it lol!) Love the longer videos!
So glad it was helpful and that you’re loving the longer vids! Hanks for watching!
Ok you finally convinced me, went out and bought the Liquitex acrylic gouache paints today after watching your great video. Have been wanting to try them for ages. Such vibrant colours!!
Yes, the colors are sooooo vibrant!
I love me a Sandi Friday 🙌🥰😘 Thank you for another entertaining and informative haul video friend ❤
Awe - thank you!!!!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos and the bracelet AND Cooper!!
Thank you Deborah!
I got a box from Blick today too haha just some colored pencils, pastels, and some paper lol
That’s fun!!!!
@@sandihester you said you’ve been into fruity tea! is there a way I can send you a letter with some of my favorite tea? it is a fruity white tea!
@@emiscozycottagelife yes! Can you email me from my website or message me on Instagram and I’ll give you my address
I just adore you! I just found you on UA-cam and have binge watching all your videos. Please keep uploading! I've learned so so much from you. Love from N.C.
Thank you Megan and WELCOME! So glad you’re enjoying the videos!
ooh shiny chunky bracelet!
us artist just dont throw anything out, we have a bunch of random parts laying around the house just in case lol
I have found that with slow dry medium too. After the paints been sitting a while with the medium mixed in, it starts to get a slimy jelly consistency
Yes, I had to learn the hard way
Love the florals behind you….
Thank you! You can see them closer on my website
I believe you are so right about the paint options. I have a lot of paint that I just want to use up before I go ahead and try the so flat paint by golden. I am really liking the Flash paint a lot so will probably use most of that up too before I splurge in a new bunch. The cheap easel looks like a good buy for sure and I have been looking at one at Walmart that is supper cheap and looks a lot like this one you are showing. Will let you know what I think. Thanks for all you super insight. It is very helpful.
Thank you Paula! It may be the same easel!
Yay... how fun..!!
🤗🤗🤗🤗
The reason I love your art hauls is that are truly product reviews! Do you have a successful color combo in the liquitex acrylic gouache for painting nice greys? I have all the colors you showed and can’t seem to get a nice go to grey! Thanks for the video!
The ochre yellow and ultramarine blue make a great gray and ultra and burnt sienna make a great gray
Can't wait for future videos 🙂
Love love love M. Graham paints. Thank you for showing us their acrylics. I think the blue paint you weren’t sure of the name is Prussian Blue. LOVE 💕 Prussian blue. Total swoon. 😂 Wonderful video, you’re keeping me focused on sketchbook work and that’s good! Glad you went limited palette all in on your lyquitex paints. They seem to work really well for you!
Yes to the Prussian!!!!
Great useful video Sandi,thanks.I have been wondering how you got that beautiful cream colour you use,now I know and have just ordered some yellow oxide.The book looks wonderful,a real Treasure.😁
🤗 so glad that was helpful!
Excellent info, thank you!
Have you ever tried the Golden Flat Acrylics? They look matte like gouache, but are acrylic. I love them! Hard to find though.
I’ve tried the SoFlat brand and they have a strong smell to them
Love DickBlick! Another amazing art haul.
Thank you Rachelle!
Sandi, I absolutely love your videos, started watching a few months ago. If you see this, would you please share where you have gotten the adorable soft headband/hair wrap you're wearing around 17 mins into the video! I see all your incredible clothes and just love your style. Thank you!
I’ve had a display easel to take out with me when sketching and drawing. They are ok but don’t last long. Break very easily as they’re not made for clumsy artists like me 🤪
😂
Yes, I’ve knocked mine over a few times but it’s fine
Hi Sandi! Enjoyed your video. You are so organized and knowledgeable about your paints. I’ve never added matte medium to my acrylics…do you add it to make the paint less shiny? I use matte medium when I collage so I wasn’t clear as to why you add it to paint….or I wasn’t paying close enough attention!
It’s to thin it without compromising the binding agent. If you thin acrylic too much with just water it won’t bind well to the surface.
Your space is gorgeous!
Thank you! I feel really blessed to have it!
Now you have me curious re the difference between acryla gouache, soft body and ordinaru gouache.. They're all fairly flat?
You can’t rewet acrylic gouache
Love it! I usually knock the lids on a hard surface like cement/rock to open my mediums, every time 😆
Good tip!
Unexciting art supplies are important too. 😊
Yes - I totally agree! I should t shame the lesser supplies 😂
Hehe a more exciting art haul than my card reader unboxing 😆
😂
I just know this is going to be good x
Great comment to get 🤗
Fab video as always. Love from UK
Thank you Andrea!!!
I use M Graham oil colors and I really like them.I always grunt when I squat, so I can relate, lol.
😂😂😂
Does anyone else love a GOOD BOX or NIIIIICE FLAT cardboard (to paint/draw on)? I want to keep everything for future projects...either that or I am a human cat...hm??? haha
Lol, human cat😻 Yes! I love the feel of painting on cardboard! The longevity isn't good so I switched from cardboard to 300lb cotton watercolor paper, Strathmore imperial, Saunders Waterford and Windsor and Newton all feel great. I buy full sheets when they go on sale. It feels really similar and I use washi tape to hold the paper in place on a sheet of cardboard while I work. 😍 All the feels but completely archival. ❤️📦
Great video, will have to get some sb liquitex. Also, the one you couldn't find colour is Prussian Blue, was on the sticky label..
Thank you!
I thought the colors of the mgraham looked really pretty.. you’re tempting me to try acrylics..
I’m really enjoying acrylics so much!
Did you ever tried the Blick Matte Acylics white? I heard that is a really great white for mixing aswell. (I'm from the Netherlands, so I never tried them my sellf) ☺️
I think I did. I need to check
Quinacridone Rose is such a beautiful colour. Makes vibrant pinks and purples.
Have you ever thought of trying acrylic gouache/acryla gouache since you like matte acrylics. They aren't actually gouache, but matte acrylics.
That’s what I opened and used in this video
@@sandihester I saw that a little while after I posted the comment. 😶
Lol I had a big haul today as well. I have never seen anyone add water to ther acrylic. I found that interesting
Really? That’s quite common to do to thin acrylic
@@sandihester I learn alot from you
26:00 the name of that colour is “Prussian blue” Xx
You and Grady crack me up!!!
great haul sandi! if you are looking for more like satinish paint i use the winsor and newton galeria and i think it's not shiny at all anyways love your videos so much
Oh really? I may try that brand too one day then. Thank you!
do you feel the smell of the Liquitex Acrylic Gouache? I was not expecting that. have it stored in an airtight box. it smells alot when I open it and also on newpainted paper but goes away after a while. I would really lika this paint but with out the smell.
Hey Sandi can you explain in a video what it feels like better a heavy and soft body acrylic. Acrylics are not my medium but I am very curious.
Heavy body is thicker and soft body is more watery and fluid
Thanks for Sharing your awesome vids Sandi I love the art hauls!.. I have a new phone I can't find hearts but sending one to you pretend you can see it xx
Awe - thank you Deborah - I receive the heart :)
Thanks for the great reviews of materials Sandi ❤️ I'm cracking up here "is there anything good in here " well let me tell you ....you did a whole heap better than me. I ordered a bunch of stuff I already had and then ordered khadi paper ... when it arrived was the size of a postage stamp 🤦♂️😂😂😂😂 the easal looks a good buy !! Don't trust myself online now though 😂
Oh no! Postal stamp 😂😂😂😭😭😭
The book Grady got you looks really wonderful! I haven't tried the liquitex acrylic gouache yet. I have Holbein and the matte look is out of this world gorgeous. The paint is so pigmented it's unbelievable. It drys really really fast though so I've had to adjust to that a bit. Not suitable for outdoor work in my opinion. I love it though. How's the dry time on the liquitex gouache? Is it similar to the soft body? I'm thinking 🤔 about trying some.
Yes, similar to the soft body
@@sandihester Thank you!❤️
hi have you used air brush medium to thin your acrylics?
I haven’t but I have thought about it. I’m not sure I’ve seen a matte version of that medium.
Do you like acrylic gouache better than regular gouache? I ordered liquetex soft body,love them.
They’re so different I like them each for their own qualities
Looking forward to hearing your review and thoughts on the nova paint looked it up price less expensive than liquitex soft body.
Yes, they are a great price. I'm really enjoying them so far!
Do your acrylics stay wet store in those containers and tupperware cuz id like to try saving my paint
yes, they stay wet. I talk about that in the video
Can you link the calendar or your friends website to buy the calendar? I absolutely love the artwork.
Ohhh yes - hate I forgot to do that!!!
Just added it!
Haha, it’s all good 👍
It’s sold out, bummer but thanks for linking her shop.
@@wonderwonder30 😭 bummer
