I was standing here after a long day chopping fruit to make a giant fruit salad I’m going to eat alllll on my own when I thought “Lord, I sure would love a Sandy Hester video right now.” And then BOOM! When I opened KZbin I did a happy dance. ❤

[@sandihester]

😂🙌❤️❤️❤️

[@melaniehenson8628]

Always the best day of the week when there's a new Sandi video! Really look forward to your inspiring sketchbook tours.

[@sandihester]

Yay, thank you!

[@xurupe]

50 seconds in and I have to like the video because I just love how you are pulling all sorts of things together to make your still lifes. Comparing them to dreams is so beautiful and apt.

[@sandihester]

Ohhhh thank you!!

[@kittuffincafe]

Sandi, I've been here since early last spring, you inspire me so much, your joyful and authentic videos always uplift me! I hope I can share my light like you do, thank you ❤ -Shaina

[@KarenRyan-bq7dt]

Such a delightful tour through your sketchbooks!!!! I love, love, love 💕 your art, it is so freeing!!!!!!🦋Thank you 🙏

[@susanfantozzi4415]

What a blast that trip would have been! To go on an art retreat like that is definitely on my bucket list. And applause 👏 to Grady for being a great logistics director. Just a breathtaking trip Sandi. Ty for taking us along.

[@sincerelyceline]

I could squeal! So excited to see a new sketchbook touuur🎉❤

[@sandihester]

🙌 awesome!!

[@hannahnfvideos1043]

I haven’t painted in probably 6 months and this video made me want to jump out of bed and paint!!!! So inspiring !!!!

[@sandihester]

Ohhhhh that’s awesome - so glad to was inspiring!

[@AtelierShibani]

I loooove your sketchbook tours, Sandi 😍 And I especially love your owls and your portraits & figures. Your figures remind me of Maira Kalman’s gorgeous work!

[@Vanitasmortedigital]

Your sketchbook tours are such a joyful and inspiring gift,I love hearing your memories and insights on where you were as you created each page and what inspired you on each page and how you created them.And it's lovely that they also really inspired you for future work,thank you for these peeks behind the scenes so to speak (Matt)

[@sandihester]

Thanks so much Matt!

[@Vanitasmortedigital]

@@sandihester I listened to the Podcast too and it's so illuminating,the way you talk about painting and creativity is so inspiring and uniquely your own voice,your joy and enthusiasm for your art is really wonderful to hear and to see in your videos as well(Matt)

[@kymcrowart7876]

Sandi, thank you for your hard work on these videos. Recording and editing videos is a full time job! I don’t know how you do it and still find time to create and paint. Oh! Annnnddd……I just found these Marabu watercolor crayon pens!! Butter!!!…you probably already know and have a few….but they are awesome but not many choices in warm colors….if ya know of them or something similar…please let me know! Or…maybe you could invent one! With a fine point crayon on one end and a wider one on other…a water soluble oil pastel that can dry…in a pen that is professional Artist grade….we need these!! Blick…are ya here?? Help Sandi invent this.

[@SimoneWhippArtist]

I really enjoyed looking through your sketchbooks with you. My favourite part out of everything was your cat on the bed. So cute! 😊

[@stacys447]

Love the birds! Thanks for sharing!

[@kp-ew1bn]

I just love your art, Sandi. Brings me joy. ❤

[@sandihester]

So glad to hear that!

[@guyguyneespinoza9087]

I love the one dark blue pencil sketch of two person you made and said you usually don’t do sketches with one colour…. I do like to use sometimes just one colour for my quick portrait sketch. You can see that on my KZbin channel, I have lots of videos and shorts timelapses. Thank you for being such an inspiration and may God bless you!

[@eviedivadoodles]

Two very fabulous sketchbooks Sandi! 😍 I really enjoy seeing the results of your work. I think my favourite is the page in your large sketchbook with all the texture - timestamp 4:48 - it's absolutely gorgeous. BUT, the color palette of the two pieces on one page - 7:18 in - re also favorites.Seeing your work in the smaller sketchbooks always inspires me to be less worried about 'perfection'... your pages just look like so much fun. Finally - I bought your birds course back in October last year and am determined to get to it in March. 😍

[@sandihester]

So glad it was helpful to see my work and THANK YOU for getting the bird class 🙌❤️

[@susieelliott2616]

Lovely!! Thank you Sandi.

[@AnitasDreams]

WOW lots of inspiration---I really like your portraits. This made my day ---I forgot it was Friday!!!!

[@sandihester]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@elisabetta1963ful]

I do love the way you paint animals !!!

[@sandihester]

Thank you!!!

[@sarahb.6475]

I love the bird at 18.51 and also the second duck painting you had earlier in the beginning of the video! ❤

[@liz-anna2365]

Your self portraits are really awesome! Your wonderful loose style but they are definitely you.

[@sandihester]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@michl6688]

I love the ducks in your big sketchbooks and I love the creek sketch you shared as well. I’ve been in a bit of a sketchbook slump lately, and I’m feeling quite inspired again after seeing this video! 😊

[@sandihester]

So glad it inspired you!

[@LouStineArtStudios]

Your sketchbook tours are always a treat!

[@hannatrue150]

Looking at your work just always makes me so happy! Your coffee shop sketches are some of my favorites from this tour… but if I’m honest, every page you turned was my new favorite haha. Also, can’t wait for your next class to launch! Thank you for another wonderful video! ❤

[@sandihester]

Oh thank you!

[@Bonnie-r4b]

I love this particular sketch book of yours! Love your portraits and figures!

[@kirstentinkham5116]

I always luv your sketchbook tours. And I absolutely luv the Cheekwood Gardens sketch (that you didn’t luv so much). I would buy that if it wasn’t in your sketchbook. Luv you, luv your videos, always inspiring, keep it up! Thank you!

[@sandihester]

Most people like the ones I don’t and don’t care for the ones I like 😂

[@Gianna-Isis]

the one you didn’t like from cheekwood garden? i had to screenshot. i know you go for more loose, and i know other fans also really like your other more tight drawings of yours, but i can’t not express how much i loved that one. made me want to be there so badly. 🧡 it’s so stunning to me.

[@sandihester]

Lots of you like it - no surprise! Thank you so much!

[@Bonnie-r4b]

I love your portraits. I can’t figure out how you capture expression in such a simple style!

[@KLeonardM]

Always love these sketch book videos Sandi. So lovely

[@sandihester]

I’m sooo glad 🤗

[@sueg4639]

Sandi, I always enjoy these strolls through your sketchbook. Such a great window into how you work as an artist as well as how you inspire the artist in me. My favorite sketch is the 2 ducks, but I also enjoy all your bird paintings, how you paint trees at the various parks and the layering that is involved on so many of the pages. Looking forward to seeing your next video in 2 weeks.

[@sandihester]

Thank you!!!

[@aekorfker]

The new paintings are exciting! Why choose if you can have it all 😄👌💛I really enjoyed the tour, the apple ladies are one of my favorites and I absolutely loved the colors of the two smaller landscapes on one page and the really thick blue water early in the video. Learning to paint is one of my favorite podcast, having you on last week was a double treat! 🤗

[@sandihester]

Ohhh thanks for listening to the podcast and thanks for your kind words!

[@brockstar_91]

I’m watching this while I walk on the treadmill. Your sketchbook spreads and paintings are inspiring me as I work on my health! 😆🧑🏼‍🎨

[@aleistergarcia3094]

Love the creek sketch 😍

[@monicahiatt]

Just returned from Italy, so many paintings, sculptures, views...I'm trying to remember that less is more, especially for my own work. I will pretend to be with you on your fantastic Italy sketch trip. Best wishes to all lucky attendees. Your work always gives me hope, joy and inspiration. 💚

[@lorenalong5866]

Love love love ❤

[@KittehNow]

Simply magnificent 👌🏻 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻can't get enough

Sandi I am a new subscriber, I've been watching your videos for the past week and I love your artwork. You inspire me so much. I appreciate you sharing your sketchbooks with us. Thank you for being so wonderful and inspiring! :)

[@sandihester]

Thank you so much! And WELCOME! ❤️

[@jzalewski]

So happy to have stumbled on your channel! Have you ever tried making monotypes? They look right up your alley. Okay... Back to binge watching all of your older videos!

[@simonchenstories]

Absolutely loving your paintings about how your dreams feel. Reminds me of an assignment I had in art school where we had to do a self portrait but using a still life of objects important to us

[@catherinetaylor2690]

I love your sketchbook tours they are so inspiring ❤

[@lydiawright7193]

Sandi, it just makes me so happy at the end of a busy work week to get up early on Saturday morning with a cup of tea, a blanket, my fuzzy socks and the newest Sandi Hester video! I always love so much colour that you use (especially as I look out the window on a dark winter morning). This is the ultimate eye candy for me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of your birds. They make me so happy and THEY look happy. I took your bird course and it was amazing. It taught me so much about how to get the proportions right. Thank you Sandi for sharing your beautiful sketchbooks with us. I even love the sound of the paper as you turn them-so much wonderful layers of paint make them sound crinkly! ❤

[@sandihester]

Thank you so much and thanks for taking the bird class and I’m thrilled that it was helpful!

[@camilleschoonover4789]

I can empathize with the sore throat. I woke up with one and I'm hoping it is just allergies and not a cold or worse.

[@caroldrummond1389]

thanks Sandi. Your paintings from photos are always my favorite.

[@sandihester]

Glad you like them!

ive been watching your videos for a while now and i love seeing your art grow and change

[@sandihester]

Thank you!!!

[@bluewren65]

What a treasure to find your video this morning. We had to evacuate from our home 2 nights ago because of bushfires burning all around us. We're back home now, but exhausted by it all. Can't wait to listen to the Learn to Paint episode in my studio tomorrow.

[@sandihester]

Oh no! That sounds scary!!!

[@bluewren65]

@@sandihester I never made it to the studio. The fire reignited with embers falling all around the house. I had to leave again with my animals. My husband says he can't fight fire if he's worried about me. It's all very tedious. Should be ok to go home tomorrow.

[@meganjohnson2246]

Your sketchbooks have given me a whole new perspective on what can go in them. Gorgeous! (I've got a new one to start, so I'm very excited!) I feel like I ought to paint the inside of my bathroom medicine/skin care cabinet alongside a self-portrait.

[@sandihester]

Go for it!
