A husband who says, "why don't you just go to heart store and take your time" IS AN ANOMALY ! YOU ARE ONE VERY FORTUNATE LADY! caps off...thanks for sharing.

[@sandihester]

Yes I am for sure! He’s the best and always so supportive!

He’s figured out “happy wife, happy life”.

Best Aunt ever. Also, I keep revisiting all your videos, even though I have watched them.

[@sandihester]

Thank you for both things!

[@cIvy726]

I'm sure you've discovered this by now, but what those tempera sticks are really good at is juicing up colour on top of acrylic paint in really subtle and magical ways. Thanks for the introduction!

[@karenemmerich2572]

How nice to see your support for your niece to appreciate and make art. Lovely video 💕

[@sandihester]

thank you!

What a lucky niece! I love the “rules” you gave her for her new sketchbook. And what a sweet gift from Annie. Those paint sticks look like a blast to use!!!

trips to the art store are always a good trip!

[@sandihester]

YES!

[@MinaDoesArtStuff]

I love those paint sticks ... I got a small pack of those (different brand) for my 2yr old at the time before we went on a road trip as she loved paints and hated using crayons (not pigmented enough for her 😂) and I’ve kept them on hand ever since as it’s great for quick fun painting / drawing sessions with her and very mess free and quick to set up and put away ... she’s 4 now and got her a new set for her birthday just gone ... I never thought to use them myself for making my own art ... definitely will have to give that a go next time! ... and I love that you paint with your niece it’s so lovely that she has you to support / teach her ... I’ve been doing the same with my 4 yr old and she loves to paint with me ... I’ve actually posted a couple of videos of us painting together and she is great at giving me instructions on how to paint things too ... it’s great painting with younger children/teens and seeing their excitement at learning / experiencing new things ... love your videos! X

[@sandihester]

Yes - I agree with all of this!

[@liesbethartlife]

That front cover of the sketchbook you paint is sooo cute ! The quote ‘feed me’ is really a nice touch as you need to feed the sketchbook with art ! Your cats are so beautiful!

[@sandihester]

Ohhhhh, I like that "feed me" - like the sketchbook wants more!

Thank you for sharing your trip to the art store, showing what you bought and the gift from your happy customer. The best was part was when you introduced beautiful niece. It was so much fun to see you and painting outside. I would love to see you two doing more painting session using different mediums. As always, you were a delight and so much fun to spend time with. Love you Fran

[@sandihester]

Thank you Fran! I was KICKING MYSELF for not getting more footage - urg! We're hoping to paint together more this summer - I'm going to try and get one of her brother's to film us next time - put those kids to work! :)

Hello Sandi. I love your enthusiasm and I think it’s reflected in your paintings as they’re so vibrant. What a delightful present for your niece, to receive that prepared sketch book. You had a great time at the art supplies store !

[@sandihester]

Thank you so much!

These tempura sticks look so fun! I might have to get a set for me and my son for our art days this summer! Another great video Sandi!

[@sandihester]

That would be so fun to do together!! Great idea!

[@C7557]

I would love to go to a real art store. Wow! As for the covers of the sketchbooks, I take the covers off to paint then put them back on. That way I can paint even where the wire binding goes through and it looks finished.

[@sandihester]

that's a nice tip!

[@lmundishop8047]

I hope all went well Saturday, this was the first day I could watch your videos in peace and quiet. The word you were looking for is scalloped edge. I was so excited when you brought out your calligraphy brushes. I received 2 of them from an elderly gentleman from southern China that I met in Hawaii back in 2001 yeah not 2021.

[@sandihester]

I love using my calligraphy brushes!

I got soooooo excited for this vid I nearly fainted loved the new paints pink purple and I can see teal working out for you in your artwork because you already had teal in the beautiful background painting and you had a teal top on🤣🥰. Loved on of the faces you did with the colour sticks it was the fully painted face you did. Your nice is soooooo sweet and lucky to have you as her auntie Goodluck Grady doing surgery on the black colour stick.

I teach elementary art and have been ordering those Tempera sticks(and temp sticks from other brands)for the past 3-4 yrs and let me tell you THEY ARE NO JOKE! Awesome!!!! I totally love that Shuttle Art brand (and trust me I am loaded up on all the class packs of some of the other well known manufactures). Shuttle Art also has a way bigger set available of colors (yes w/"neutralized" colors" and more) on amazon for 70ish$. The are also water soluable so break out the water pen Sandi! Even when my students load up their papers with the temp six pigment it does indeed all dry! ... and can be sealed with an acrylic medium (with some smudging). Love all your videos!

I recently got The Best Craft brand of paint sticks, just for fun. And holy cow…they make a great base color to gouache on top of. I’m assuming acrylic would work too..even my gansai tambi paints work on top. And my caran d’ache gouache pallet did too. Like butter on silk!

[@hakantacrafter813]

Those paint sticks look great. I had some crayola twistables which I was inspired to use after watching your loose object drawings and I was impressed by them. So I tried the regular crayola crayons, I have only ever used the cheap crayons that were kinda transparent with really low pigment and I cannot believe how good crayola are. I also tried a cheap pack from my supermarket and they are pretty close to crayola so looks like the cheap brands have improved a lot. I will definitely be using them, I love me a cheap art supply :). Also I have started some new art/sketch journals from being inspired by you, I was very inspired by the patterns you use so I made a pattern journal I can pull out when I need pattern inspiration for my drawings I have been copying patterns from random plates and items on amazon lol I love it and its a nice easy task for when I am tired, a journal for drawing loose objects around the house and I finally started a patterns in nature project I have been meaning to start. Thank you for being inspiring, I am very tired from health issues and find it hard to get going, I am loving your fun happy energy, you are adorable and uplifting to watch.

[@sandihester]

First, I'm so sorry about the fatigue with health issues - that's so hard! I deal with that A LOT too - in fact, this week was really hard. I'm glad you've found some inspiration here. And YES to cheap art supplies!!!

[@hakantacrafter813]

@@sandihester Thank you for the reply :) I was having a bad night, I fell asleep from exhaustion and woke up feeling really unwell with a migraine, your reply really perked me up I also found your podcast interview so I listened to that and I have filled 7 pages in my objects book. Really quick simple messy images with a unibal fine pen and my eyes are blurry but drawing your loose way I can just fill in some of the information myself (I am normally really picky and trying to draw everything exact) so that is really helpful for when i'm feeling unwell and also with my eyes getting worse a bit less scary (i am not going blind just getting worse vision as an artist who wants to draw realistic work its worrying). Yes so I have had a blast and I am really happy with the images. I have always wanted to draw more realistic I never thought I would like drawing more rough loose sketches I mean obviously it is fun but I am really liking the outcomes too. Sorry for the long reply after that podcast I kinda feel like we were talking lol that was my first podcast too lol. I really hope your week improves, maybe go watch some of your favourite youtube because you really helped me tonight. I felt so bad I thought it was going to be a really rough night. You are truly awesome.

Hi sandi, Faber-Castell castell do gelatos same sort of thing but artist quality and you can use watercwith them, I've got loads and they are gorgeous. They do metallic ones as well.

[@sandihester]

[@anadarch7663]

Your tempera sticks of color that resemble chapsticks are similar in shape to Faber Castell Gelatos or Australian art materials’ creator, Jane Davenport art sticks which look like tubes of lipsticks & glide on so creamy...check her online store coz I’m unsure if all of her art materials are available overseas... Best wishes.

[@sandihester]

Thank you for the suggestion Ana!

[@Zoomfreaky]

Ah this was so fun! Those sticks at the end are real playtime stuff. I have a few. Now I have to use them again. Oh no...😋 Question. Still fascinated by your Flashe paints. Do they have a smell? Hope not. But before I buy some I would really like to know. Thank you for making my Fridays brighter every week.

[@sandihester]

The Flashe paints don't smell. I am going to be sharing a new paint in an upcoming video though that I've come to love even more than Flashe - not sure if you want to see what that is before you purchase Flashe - but Flashe is amazing - you can't go wrong with it!

Rose is the color of your cheeks

[@gailwynn3637]

Maybe you have addressed this in another video,( new subi,e here), but how did you or why did you change over from a more traditional style of watercolor, I guess it's called realistic, to oils in more of a folk art style, and is folk art how you describe your style? I know you said you didn't like to be precise when painting in watercolor, but how did you do the transition? Did you just wake up one day and say I'm going to paint with oils in a whimsy fashion? and was it hard? ps. I lived in Virginia most of my life and collect Queena Stovall art and P. Buckley Moss, so your art is right up my alley. I paint in watercolor and love combining it with collage.

Welcome Gail!!! I do share my art journey in a video called just that 'My Art Journey'. I'm excited to look up these two artists - I'm not familiar with them

[@liliax9147]

Gelatos are creamy and fun! They’re water soluble but I’m not skilled enough to be able to work with them as an art supply (and ofc I doubt they are lightfast) so I use them for card making and collages instead! They give a really pretty diffuser look when buffed
