Art Supplies I've Been Reaching For All Year

[@peggyleebaker]

The best gift I received in 2023 was finding you on KZbin, Your joyful spirit and fun loving colorful art paintings are so much fun! Thank you for sharing your heart!

[@sandihester]

Awe 😭😭😭 that’s so sweet!!! ❤️

[@lovejoyy]

You’re such an inspiration. You make me want to paint. So I am painting almost everyday. I really appreciate you helping me get out of a slump. Thank you so much!!

[@marina-hermione]

I’ve been subscribed to you for a long while now but haven’t watched too many videos. I recently watched one that came up on my front page and I have been binge watching. You have inspired me so much to get back to my creativity. It has been dormant for far too long. I usually do portraits with pen or pencil even though I love colour. I tried to get comfortable with paint within the past couple of years which is a medium I was not too familiar with and gave up due to intimidation. I have so many markers and coloured pencils and watching you play in sketchbooks has motivated me to play and get back to exploring and experimenting and there’s a joy sparked in my heart. Thank you so much. God bless 🤍🌼

[@sachet22]

OMG. Sandi Hester you are my new obsession! I have 4 habits that I practice: 1) the habit of prayer 2) the habit of study 3) the habit of fellowship and 4) of the habit of giving Your way by of laughing, loving and Painting is Delicious! I am all in! xxxLeslie

[@intergalacticpeachpatrol]

Is it just me, or is the production in this video just absolutely through the roof?! So good! Thank you for sharing your creative adventures with us, Sandi. You've taught me so much since I discovered your channel, and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm so glad that you exist on the planet at the same time as me. Happy holidays. ❤

[@sandihester]

Thank you! I worked hard on it so I appreciate you noticed!

[@lesliejolly989]

I always buy art supplies after watching these videos. 😆

[@kymcrowart7876]

Me too!!!

[@hannatrue150]

Such a fun video to end the year on! My sweet husband surprised me with your Under the Table n.7 painting for Christmas… talk about the best present ever!! It’s such a blessing to have some of your joyful art on my walls and to spend KZbin time with you every other week. You use your gifts to glorify God so well, and you inspire me to do the same. Hope you and Grady have a wonderful New Year! May 2024 bring us all lots of paint to peel! 😂 🎨

[@sandihester]

I replied to you and now it’s not showing 🤨. So if you get two responses that’s why. I LOVED that your husband surprised you 🙌❤️😭 soooooo sweet! That’s a special piece to me and I just love that it was given in such a special way! Thank you for your very kind words!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@hannatrue150]

Thank you, Sandi! ❤

[@paulahaynes6131]

Love the fact that you don’t worry that your colors get a bit muddy or changed from dipping your brush in before you clean your brush. I think it makes the finished pick have so much more depth and colors always mesh together so well in the finished piece.

[@sandihester]

So true!

[@elishawolter4968]

Such a fun, inspiring video (as always) ... you could use all those paint peelings in your collages!!! I'm going to see if my paint peels off as satisfyingly as yours does :)

[@shawnhoffman1827]

Thank you, Sandi, so much for sharing this and all that you do!!! ~ I tried so hard to have the will power to save this video for New Year’s Day…..didn’t work! - So I’m going to re-watch my Landscapes Class with you for New Years! - I learned so much with that….. Best to you in this new year and in appreciation for you sharing your process and supplies that make your day!

[@sandihester]

This made me laugh! I wouldn’t have been able to wait either 😂! Thank you for watching and for your kind words ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰

[@nancyenjay7966]

This is just my favorite channel, I’m so thankful for you. I’m amazed watching how your art has evolved over the year. What a joy, here’s to a happy and peaceful 2024 ❤

[@sandihester]

Thanks sooo much Nancy!

[@carlamariestudios]

I already had a cup of tea when I sat down to watch this and was so excited!! 😆 Also I REALLY love that painting with the oranges at @12:32. It's got such a cozy, homey feeling to it!

[@sandihester]

Yay! Thank you!

[@fruhbisspattv5259]

Oh, I know it so well - the problem with the art materials and the holidays! Always the same, every time. I pack, the husband shakes his head and says °The dogs need to have SOME place in the car!°

[@kathyhackney7950]

Omg, a Sandi video on my birthday ❤ THAT is a great gift🎁

[@sandihester]

🙌❤️ happy birthday!

[@chloegrl1366]

It was awesome hearing your name on Irit's Channel this a.m. woooo whoo grl!!!!.....ok between her and you I'm in constant love of all the fun supplies....thx for all the inspiration!!!

[@sandihester]

Ohhh I’ll have to check it out!

[@Julie-vy3oz]

I love “favorites”- it’s always such juicy fun to see what artists use. Thanks for sharing! And also such a great quality in your videos.

[@sandihester]

So glad you enjoy the quality - I work hard on that! Thank you!

[@hollynoscar3534]

you crack me up....i'm a 'peeler' too.... it all started when i was a kid and i discovered the joy of peeling dried glue off my fingers...and then i got a little obsessed and used to put glue all over my palm, let it dry completely and then peeled away. yes, totally crazy but it was so satisfying. suffice to say, i get the obsession. so glad i'm not alone in my 'crazy'.. lol happy new year sandi and grady, and can't wait to see what you'll cook up in 2024.

[@sandihester]

😂😂😂🙌

[@catherinecruanes8033]

Hi Sandy I’m a French artiste and I love watching your videos . I like because It s like having a friend sharing the same passion and I love your comments , they give informations they make me smile or laugh. Which is great !! I m going to travel, I m following your recommendations…. I love your work. Have a wonderful day ❤ 🌸 Catherine

[@Erinba]

Like many others I am so glad to have found you this year Sandi. I started the year trying to believe in myself and my loose painting style and felt like I needed to constantly explain my style and tighten up- but watching you I have full confidence in my direction and am continually inspired by your art and everything you do!!!❤

[@sandihester]

I’m so glad to hear it’s given you some confidence and helped you enjoy creating! Thank you for sharing!!

[@leaott296]

Sandi this is the best frank information that I have found since I restarted my art journey a year ago. Thanks so much. I have mostly been using watercolors and gouache and was starting to wonder about acrylic gouache. What awesome timing,

[@bethspencerart]

Happy New Year, Sandi! Loving your landscapes class and am looking forward to another fun year of painting (and paint peeling, haha)!

[@sandihester]

Happy new year! Sooooo glad you’re enjoying the landscape class!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@gujje4u]

Looking forward to the value-video😊! Happy New Year❣️

[@msand43]

I discovered art this year and you were one of the most joyful parts of that journey for me- you and supplies! Thank you for being so fun and so inspiring to us all ❤

[@sandihester]

Aweeeeeee thank you!!!!

[@scoanime]

What an absolutely beautiful video Sandi! You definitely ended the year on a high note. Thanks for all you share with us and the hard work you put into it.

[@sandihester]

Awe thanks so much!!!!!!!

[@SewArtyAnna]

I’m so pleased I found your channel this year. Each video has bought a whole lot of joy and inspiration. Thank you for sharing your life as an artist with us

[@sandihester]

I’m so glad to hear that!

[@brittabeningfield3472]

Happy 2024 to you and all your family, Sandi. Can't wait to see what the next year holds for you. You always bring me joy. Ive got a couple cheap, plastic flower palettes like yours, but with lids, from Jerry's Artarama. Never thought of using them for acrylics and then enjoying the peel, but PERFECT! Especially for plein air quickies. We're having a mild winter so far, gonna try it out tomorrow. Best of everything to you!

[@jesreyesart]

Love, love, love your channel, Sandi! You are an inspiration. I learn so much from you! Hope to own your art one day too.

[@sandihester]

Thank you so much!

[@MsRealityrocks]

Hi Sandi, just wanted to say that there is no video that you’ve made that I haven’t watched and I’m always eagerly awaiting the next one. You’re by far my favourite KZbinr, for so many reasons, your beautiful personality and inspiring artwork being the top two . I wanted to take a moment to comment today to say thank you so much for sharing your life and process with us, I feel so blessed that you choose to do so. May God bless you, Grady and your families and may this new year be filled with beautiful new opportunities, that you’ll hopefully continue to share with all of us. 😉 Thank you so much for all the time, thought and energy you take in making these beautiful videos for us to enjoy and be inspired by! 😘💓🙏🥰

[@sandihester]

Well goodness what a wonderful comment to get! THANK YOU for these kind and encouraging words!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jesiegirl80]

Merry Christmas Sandy 🎄 absolutely love love love everything you share with us. I’m always so inspired to paint and so enjoy all the giggles along the way thank you for being you!

[@sandihester]

Glad you get some giggles along the way! Win!

[@gwenritch]

Thank you so much for sharing your favorite art supplies for 2023 😊 Your channel is incredible. Thank you for sharing your journey, I've learned so much from you ❤️ I hope you had a beautiful Christmas and I send all my best wishes to you and Grady for the new year! 🎉

[@sandihester]

Thank you sooo much Monica!!!!❤️

[@Cassiye]

Omg the part about peeling the paint is TOO RELATABLE 😂 I can def imagine how satisfying it must be to get one of those big pieces! Curious what the clear-purply-muddy concoction was that you dipped your brush in to near the end, that makes the paint adhere better. Initially thought it might be matte medium. Looking forward to checking out your class on acrylics!

[@janegrew9485]

Your painting of the oranges and blue/white jug is brilliant!!

[@kp-ew1bn]

Thank you for another year of art inspiration, Sandi! I enjoy you so much! Happy New Year to you & yours!❤

[@sandihester]

Awe - thanks so very much!!! ❤️

[@catholictortillas777]

[@ladyamalthea85]

Your voice is just so nice to listen to. Really enjoyable video to watch. I love the Derwent water brushes.

[@sandihester]

There’s just something about it!

Sandi, this was the best last video of the year. I love all of your videos and watch them more than once. I, too, love peeling the paint skins, and I often use them on canvas for texture. I always come away with new information from your. Videos. Can’t wait for January and the new things you bring to the table.❤️

I’m so glad you always get new things from this space! Thank you for the kind words ❤️

[@emotionalsupportpaintbrush]

Sandi - I’m spending Saturday morning with you preparing for an art supply run bc my local store has a paint sale. I’m wondering if you have tried Holbein gouache “Chinese Orange” G605. I picked it up on a whim and love it. I think it would work with your palette. Happy painting!
