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

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. ❤

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!!

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 KZread 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! 😂 🎨

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!°

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.

Yay! Thank you!

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 🤍🌼

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 ❤

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

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!!!❤

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.

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 KZreadr, 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! 😘💓🙏🥰

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!

I do the same thing with peeling the paint! I get started and can’t stop- even mid painting!! 😂

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!

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! 🎉
