Painting Abstract Flowers

[@eileengamache9128]

I never in a million years considered looking at one flower at a time for painting….I always overwhelmed myself with the whole pot! What a great video for inspiration❤️ The way you dip in and out of color and mix is fascinating to me…gurl you know color like the back of your hand😎xoE

[@sandihester]

It is a nice way to do it sometimes. I don’t always do it like that. And yes, I know my “keys” on the “piano” from lots of practice

[@monikamehrens1416]

Me too! Loved the idea of using one at a time

[@tammylong111]

You are so inspiring to watch! I'm a very beginner painter, at 52 yrs old, determined to give this hobby a go and your videos give me the push to just try...to experiment and not take it so seriously while I learn. Thank you!

[@sandihester]

You can do it!

[@LynnLBE]

Do it‼️. I only started 14 years ago at the age of 56‼️. Your only regret would be to not give it a try.

[@Southernladyasmr]

It’s always a happy day when a Sandi video drops!💕

[@sandihester]

Awe - that makes me happy to hear ❤️

[@maisycakes1125]

Fun fun fun ! Yes please to more like this from me - it was very inspiring and informative to be taken along on your painting session , I really enjoyed myself 😍 Thankyou Sandi 🤗

[@sandihester]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@floraskye]

Me too! I could watch these all day, every day 😁 Thank you, Sandi!

[@christinefisher5716]

Watching your process is beyond valuable to me! I love seeing the flower subjects up close and then hearing you work through the marks, colors, and values. You continue to inspire and encourage me. Thanks so much, Sandi. I love both of the paintings!

[@sandihester]

Thank you so much!

[@anntiniacoudis5691]

Thank you for showing your colour mixing process. This is the part that always confound me. When watching other artist paint, they often don’t show the mixing of colour paints which is integral to creating art. Very inspired to go and paint now.

[@sandihester]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Naeory]

I would watch hours of you painting whether there was voice over or no. It’s meditative and inspiring to me. And while I generally paint water and trees you make me want to paint flowers! 💐❤️

[@sandihester]

🙌🤗❤️

[@jenninemidkiff783]

I agree. The videos are very calming and inspiring. ❤

[@kahirish57]

You put joy into painting. I’m enjoying and learning to let go. 🎉

[@susanfantozzi4415]

Yes! A painting video. Very exciting!

[@sandihester]

Yay, thank you!

[@crystalipock9725]

I finally went back and took the time to paint with you and did my own abstract flowers. Thanks so much for sharing this video. I really enjoyed doing this! It was very freeing and helped me through some art blockage I had been experiencing lately! Thanks again!

[@christierella]

Your videos make my heart smile, AND as always make me wanna go paint! Thank you for that, Sandie. I appreciate you. All good things to you and yours.

[@sandihester]

So glad to hear that!

[@annrubino6252]

Loved seeing you painting with acrylics again Sandi. You are such a natural at spontaneous brushwork. Somehow, it all comes out so beautiful at the end.

[@sandihester]

Thank you Ann!

[@meganjohnson2246]

The "La Fleur" lettering is beautiful and was very Toulouse-Lautrec. I'm chilling out after work and it was a real good time watching you paint these. Thanks, Sandi!

[@sandihester]

Wonderful!

[@katewalton6350]

Your zinnias came out beautiful ! Enjoyed watching and love that old brush.

[@AbiNomac]

Readily available. Love the paintings. Love how you make word mistakes on camera and you don’t care. You’re cool.

[@sandihester]

Thanks so much 😊

[@jessicastrideart]

Loved this Sandi, you’re making me want to paint abstract flowers!🌸🌺🌻

[@pagewhite61]

I love these! Yes, I feel so inspired to paint. Thank you!

[@lilybay1]

Love your videos. This one “spoke” to me. I gathered ideas and lots of desire to push my WC paints around.

[@shelleoshelle7252]

Thank you Sandi. I love any kind of video you make. I do want to paint now. I even have a bouquet on my table to use!

[@sandihester]

Perfect timing!

[@creativewah]

I love watching your painting process! The floral paintings are beautiful! Thank you for sharing! 🌸🪻🌺🌼🌷

[@sandihester]

Thanks so much 😊

[@margaretspringer9197]

So fun to watch your process and playfulness! Amazing how the "toned down" colors look so bright. I like the ideas of one-flower-at-a-time and adding words, too. Thanks for sharing!

[@CaptAim-u4u]

this was short and sweet to watch, now ima go paint! thank you Sandi!

[@anitawaclawik4286]

Fast & furious flower painting. Love seeing your process. Nice & loose.

[@sandihester]

[@salome10011]

Thank you for helping me get unstuck 🎉❤ such a great reminder to just put paint on paper, and see where it takes you. xx

[@SprightlyStudios]

Sandi, you've inspired me so much lately! I've been playing so much with looseness while working with acrylics specifically, and having so much fun! Thank you for the videos and sharing your thoughts and art processes with us! It's really helping me grow as an artist.

[@luvurobert]

Thank you, Sandi! I love both of your paintings!! ❤

[@sandihester]

Thank you so much!

[@priskapennanen6501]

This was such a great video thank you!! I tried to paint wild flowers in the beginning of summer and took your pictures as an inspiration - so it was really wonderful to have a video and see you actually painting them!! How you use colours etc. Thank you❤️

[@thebellaluna]

Thanks for the new video! So much fun! :)

[@anapaulaotero-illustration875]

Wonderful as usual. I have a big love for zinnias. I plant lots every year. Such great inspiration, Sandi.

[@sandihester]

I love them too!

[@wilmamccoul]

You painted!! I love to watch you paint! Thank you. And yes, I am inspired to now paint some flowers. I’m finishing up on one, but now you have me wanting to do a few. Beautiful work, Miss Sandi. Have a great weekend

[@sandihester]

Glad you like them!

[@MichelleCruz-qh2fl]

I love how you think outside the box. I do that too and sometimes feel alone in my process, but you always validate thats its okay. Love how you jump in and not overthink things. I love your videos and inspiration to just do it!

[@lissagoldsmith9597]

I absolutely love your freedom! You are amazing!

[@jam4441]

So nice to see you painting for us again.

[@karenemmerich2572]

Your videos are always so inspiring and fun to watch, Sandi. I just loved the looseness on this one! Thank you ♡

[@RitaShurmerArt]

A fantastic video! Thanks for sharing this!

[@lbmillmore2525]

Hi Sandi, Absolutely loved this format. Please do more of these, so much fun and inspiration. ❤

[@matmazel9410]

I'm learning a lot of things, not a single thing, while watching their videos. First of all, I gain perspective. I think such videos are very valuable...

[@ChantelleArts]

I love the way you use colours!! you're a huge inspiration and the reason I try to experiment as much as possible 🥰

[@sandihester]

I'm so glad!

[@firdyk]

Loved watching your painting process. How lovely and lively your paintings are Sandy!

[@LaylaPayton]

Good stuff, Sandi! I love zinnias, so this was really lovely to watch. So freeing and breezy.

[@karendirmish2696]

As I said before, U R a gift! Thanks so very much for always sharing and encouraging me! And of course, many others! Love using old background paint, it’s a challenge to do this, and I enjoy challenges! My flower drawings are always from my brain! Different colors and shapes and patterns. It is what it isn’t it! Thanks? Karen Dirmish, learner <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1562">26:02</a>

[@annenavas6603]

Love this type of video. Now Ive got a mini project for the week to look forward to, round up some flowers and rewatch this video painting. As always, big thanks. Xx

[@sandihester]

I’m so glad you’ve got a project now 🤗

[@oaklingsluciapara]

I love your flowers Sandi! I love this type of video for sure. It encourages me to play!

[@sandihester]

I'm so glad!

[@ArtJournalLife]

You are amazing! I just love your style and you Sandi. I really appreciate that you didn't put music over this too. Sometime silence is valuable. Thank you!

[@Lifeinthewyldewest]

So wonderful to have come across your channel. This exercise looks so freeing! Jacki lead me to your channel when she mentioned your channel on her community page. I'm so glad you found time to paint.

[@eileenhoney6426]

Loved the video, Sandi!! You crack me up. xo from Lakes Entrance Australia.

[@CS-8924]

Nice video, good inspiration, thank you Sandy. I missed the beautiful bee in your painting. Always busy like you. 😊

[@sandihester]

Good analogy ❤️

[@terryfrank3107]

This is hands down the best technique video I have seen on this topic! And the results are gorgeous. I lost interest in tea dying a while back by can’t wait to try this using your methods with Distress Inks and Oxide sprays! Thank you!

[@mvodesigns01]

Loved how you created these paintings…am a slow learner so will be reviewing the video many times. What am I saying I watch all your videos over and over. As I hear…see something new with each viewing

[@sandihester]

Thank you for watching!

[@MichelleHumphreys-fv1bq]

I’ve slopped some paint around, a gift for my mum… thank you for your endless warmth and inspiration 😊🌿🖌️xx

[@L.C.Griffith]

Thank you! I loved the video, heading to my studio to paint. ❤️

[@milesmcquillen1885]

Another brilliant video! Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@sandihester]

My pleasure!

[@beckyfinkelstein1688]

Just found you and love your outlook on simplicity and just going with what you are feeling. I always struggled with flowers but your approach is so refreshing that I really want to try these excersizes to free up my art!! Can't wait for more🎉

[@kymcrowart7876]

Been watching and waiting today. Just here refreshing my paint pots. So perfect timing. Lol. Yippee

[@sandihester]

Oh awesome!

[@dianaromig732]

This is the best ever 🎉❤😂Please do more 😊

[@lisahaaseckle]

Your videos are so sweet and I look forward to watching them. Finally got my new art shed studio set up and I'm in the process of organizing things and planning on doing more abstract mixed media paintings. Very excited to get started!

[@sandihester]

Have fun!

[@paint_freckles]

I love these Sandi, the abstract flowers are my favorites!

[@sandihester]

Ohhhh good 🙌❤️

[@cyan7488]

I've been wanting to see your process, so this is a real gem. Amazing stuff. Gonna come back to this video when I feel stuck. Thank you for this!

[@sandihester]

Glad to hear it!

[@kristendavis8309]

I love this so much!! First time watcher. Subscribed! WooHoo!! I’m excited to follow you. You inspire 🌟! 🌸🌿

[@noa6200]

If I could spam Like I would have, I loved watching you play with paint!

[@rosaliemaguire]

Oh Sandi, you are super inspiring, and I'm itching to paint your gorgeous flowers. It's nearly spring, so going to look at planting flowers to paint. 💮🥀🌻

[@sandihester]

Have fun!

[@suesummers8813]

However crazy you paint, it always makes me want to go and paint !

[@melryan_king]

Thank you so much for this. I’d been struggling with how to use my neocolor 2s. You inspired me to stop overthinking! 😅 Your video editing is genius as well…it’s a whole other form of art. Thank you again.

[@lindafranklin3516]

I especially love your flower and still lifes...so this was a special treat for me...kudos to you for providing us faithful fans with such inspiring and informative videos...I can only imagine how much work and time is involved...God bless you and Grady...would love to see a class on your colorful abstract still lifes that you shared on Instagram a while back ..

[@michl6688]

I loved watching you paint these flowers! It felt like being in one of your classes. I’m definitely going to pick some of the little flowers we have growing here and create a bouquet of them to paint while rewatching this. Lots of weedy little flowers readily (ha!) available in my neighbourhood too. Thanks, as always, for your inspiration! 😊❤

[@RebaYoung-e5d]

Thanks for this awesome video. I had high expectations of painting flowers this summer. After planting seven packs of flower seeds I have only one seed that germinated and grew into a plant. I'm waiting patiently for it to flower. Fingers crossed I will get about painting colorful blooms soon. Meanwhile my cucumbers are growing like crazy so guess I'll just paint some. 😂

[@deborahmeyers551]

Loved this thanks Sandi 😘😊

[@nancyloomis3046]

I've gotta slop some paint around too...been focused on closing out my little part time vintage booth, dealing with health issues and virtually stopped doing any artwork for like several months. Gotta get going again. Thanks for the reminder!

[@aekorfker]

Lovely video with delicious colors, totally gets me excited to paint 🤗 🌸

[@sandihester]

Thanks so much 😊

[@steylawitt8634]

Bookay !! You crack me up Sandi😂😂😂love the video

[@sharonkay1696]

I love the second painting. I don’t think it’s overworked. It’s perfect. There is just something about it.

[@LoriRayburn]

I really enjoyed this video and have already watched it twice. I'd love more videos like this and maybe you'd even consider doing an online class on flowers like you did with birds and landscapes. Flowers are one of my favorite subjects to paint. Thank you! It did make me go paint :)

[@sandihester]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@annevai]

Those little halos were my favorite part!

Wow what a way to start my 3am Saturday morning! The filming of the bee flying is stunningly beautiful!
