It’s so inspiring seeing the way you create with flow and no rules 😊

Also every time I read the comments on your videos it makes me want to meet all your followers. I think you’ve really acquired such a special crowd. Maybe someday there will be a Sandi art festival 🎉

I got anxiety when I started to watch this , however I couldn’t stop watching ! Oh my God your freedom and looseness and just creating is fantastic . I keep starting sketch books promising myself they will be loose and easy going but just can’t do it . After watching this I’m going to start another sketch book and try to be free and not be so finessed and bothered. Thank you , I am a mixed media artist and enjoyed this video so much . Thank you . 😎☘️

I’m really enjoying these process focused videos. I can see how this could be totally addictive; I’m really itching to do some art now. I paused the video a couple of times to do some art of my own. Thanks for sharing!

I love the way you just attack the page and have no limitations. I try really hard to let loose but it is very hard for me. Also I can’t wait until you make your books. Love these types of videos ❤️

Thanks so much for uploading this video, Sandi! I had some disappointments last weekend and haven’t felt like an artist this week or done much art, despite it being a big focus of my life right now. I know art and play will make me feel better and just seeing you play and talk about your materials has given me the bravery to reapproach my work. ❤

Love watching you add the layers, Sandi! I am also two times through your Landscaping Class -- so awesome & inspiring! I learned so much, and I know I will be watching it again and again. You are a blessing!

I am in the binge-watching phase as a relatively new subscriber. You are incredible! I love that you are YOU and that you just fully embrace who you are and show the world how wonderful that can be. Thanks for being so amazing and sharing all these wonderful bits of your artist's life!

I’m really excited for when you release books, looking at your art really inspires me 💚

I'm literally humbled at the end of each video that I get to be the beneficiary of your devotion and vulnerability towards the process of creation in these videos - what a GIFT!

What a great great video, I’m way too constipated when I’m drawing and painting. The tree trunk turned out awesome just what I would like to make. Thank you Sandi, always super inspiring❤❤❤

I really enjoyed this video Sandi and yes more technique videos would be wonderful ❤

No we are like ‘yes keep going’ ;) this was fun!!

I learned this word yesterday. “Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none.”

My favorite kind of video! Love the camera angle, watching you create in real time, flipping through your sketchbooks and walking through your process. So interesting and inspiring 😊

I’ve been playing with such a mixed variety of materials lately, and I’ve come to realize how much I’ve really always loved illustration. You make the exploration of materials so enjoyable! 😊

I always enjoy watching your process! Your energy and joy is a blessing to me.

You kept me company while I watched and did my own thing with my journaling for wellbeing and my cat was purring for us he loves art I think it's the hand amd brush movements tgat interest him je also likes to smash and rub and the likes in my journal love from us to you Sandi 😘...I loved this yes ofcourse my favourite type from you xx

At the end you were becoming to hesitant to continue “playing” in this video. Watching you play is exactly why I’m here. To see the process happen in real time. I could watch hours of the actual process like towards the end of this video when you said it was getting so exciting for you. Even if I wasn’t watching it as an artist I would think it would be super nice to watch just that! Thank you always for your inspiration and hard work and videos!

Great video. It's always so fun to see you work. Makes me want to go get my supplies!

As always, I so enjoy watching you create! When I last went to the art museum here in Houston and I'd read the info, like which mediums, I did notice how quite a few of them didn't have like just oil, or watercolor. Oftentimes, pencils were included, or mixtures of oil and/ or acrylic or watercolor. I did a painting with primarily watercolor of bedrocks and I finished it up with black fountain pen, white pen, and some pastel pencils. It was done on the huge Blick paper you had recommended a while back. Although, it is not a seller, it is among my favorites. I eventually want to do your landscape ( having a business messes with my frree time and wanting to play for a greater chunk of time, lol) course when I can really dig in with no time limitations (like making messes and moving around) or interruptions. Would you show some of your finished work, like the kind you would frame and explain how you used and in what order you used the various mediums? I really liked how you did some of that in this video for your sketch book. I don't doubt you have alreadyand I either don't remember or my mind is playing skip-to-my-loo (sp) Thank you and how fun!

Wow. Fantastic video. So informative as I ❤ the textures you create in your sketch work. And I’m definitely using the “sneaking up” technique with facial features from now on 😊😂

Great video-so many fun things to try. I love the shape-n-smush with the colored pencil on top. Fun fun fun!

This video was spectacular. I loved watching you work step by step at random. Your “play” is so inspiring and encouraging. Please continue this kind of video. So informative, especially using the mixed media. You have been my go-to KZfaqr in my quest to have fun with my art, since my talent is limited.

sandi i’m obsessed with this video! thank you so much for sharing your process, i’ve always loved watching how you get your hands dirty with supplies, it looks so fun! i finally decided to sit down and try it as well, to not be afraid of making mistakes as you said, and it’s so freeing and more importantly so fun! i feel so connected to my supplies, i’ve always felt so precious about them, but now i understand that they’re meant to be used in all sorts of ways there truly are no rules! mixing colors and different supplies textures on paper is so enjoyable and creates so many possibilities that would never had occurred if i just stuck to using supplies in the ‘right’ way. my creations feel so alive using your method, i love it!

my daughter just turned 10 ... and she absolutely loves using all her art supplies together!! and she was validated watching you!! :D

That interesting how you just put down colors and added to it and it turns into people, trees and so forth, that’s so cool 👍

I love how free your style is. I struggle with over-fixation on detail and accuracy, which makes me miss out on the fun of spontaneous creation. Thanks for sharing your process, its inspiring!

omg, that big, juicy green paint marker! I love this video of playing with color, supplies, and texture. TY, Sandi!

Hi Sandi, Always enjoy the videos where you show your process, look forward to seeing more videos of your painting process. Thanks

My favourite way to work, messy!! I love getting an area ready and just having a go with my art materials!! I really enjoyed this video xxx

Sandi, you have the best art supplies 🤩 but hopefully one day you'll give Stabilo Woodys a try 😁 I think you'll love those wonderful chunky pencils, they go over everything... Have a Wonderful day 🙌

lovely video Sandi

this was so much fun to watch! I LOVE layering and can't wait to play with the mediums in the way you suggest. Thank you again for the inspiration and flow!

The layering is great! Have a good week ❤

Super fun video, love all the “smooshing.”

Your videos always inspire me to reach for different supplies in my studio, and the light in your space is phenomenal! Thanks so much for sharing your process!

This video was so fun! I love watching you get your hands all full of paint, so inspiring!

I’ve never thought of using my paint pens this way. Can’t wait to try it out! Thanks for all the inspiration!

Thank you for sharing your process! I love how spontaneous and intuitive it is.

Thanks so much Sandi, I love the techniques you displayed today.

So instructional and inspiring Sandi, thank you so much!! When I see this video of your work process, your paintings and sketches make even more sense to me. I love your work and videos and classes! Thanks for your generous sharing.

These videos are just so relaxing and inspiring. Thanks Sandi

Yes indeed I loved seeing you work in all those paint layers. It was so nice to see those messy hands and all the colors. Thank you for the inspiration to just get all my supplies out and have fun. And maybe buy some of those amazing paint markers too!! 🎉😊❤

Loved the video. It really helps seeing you use the materials. I need to smoosh more.

Wonderful video!!! Very juicy this one! I loved every bit of it and can't wait to get busy in my sketchbook, loosely playing with all sorts of materials! thank you for the inspiration, Sandi! Have a great time, my dear!

I always enjoy when you do these types of videos inspiring and also great ASMR 😄 very relaxing and calming 🤗🤗

This video is awesome ! Love to see your process and it inspires me to go one step further. Thanks dear Sandi.

Love this process!

That was so fun and inspiring to watch. I think I’m going to have to do some shmooshing now! Thanks for a great video Sandi.

Loved the video! I just had to go back to a watercolor I had left without finishing and give it some extra touches with colored pencil. I enjoyed it and it looks much better now! 😊 thank you for reminding us to use more of our stuff and have fun.

I love your freedom. You inspire me. Thank you.

Great video ! Glad you are back.

Thank you soooo much for showing how you layer different materials !!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

Fantastic. So deep with all the media. I adore the effect. Simple but complex. Loose but informed. I love your work!!!

That is such an interesting technique. It really does look like a lot of fun. Thank you for the wonderful tip. Your artwork is so amazing. 🙂

This video is the best! Thank you so much for sharing your processes and how you layer with mixed media, Sandi! This is incredibly inspiring and helpful! ❤

Loved the video so much. I learn a lot from your videos, especially this kind. thanks so much for your generosity.

I am just itching to get my fingers filthy. Thanks so much, this style video is super helpful in showing how you get your amazing effects and use the stuff. I am so inspired! You are my muse ✨️

Hi Sandi....yes LOVE these type videos!!

Thank you so so much Sandhi for another excellent video, especially after all you’ve been dealing with recently. They’re always so inspirational and provide such lovely creative moments of joy every couple of weeks. Such a blessing ❤️🥰

Wonderful video as always!!

I love seeing you "play." I definitely need to stop trying so hard and find the joy in making art again.

Just wonderful! Thank you.

Oh my Sandi! I LOVE this kind of video!!! Your joy is infectious and inspiring. I’ve been smearing oil pastels for a couple of years now. I’ve actually worn the hide of fingertips a couple of times. I never thought about layering something on top of the smears. Wow! I am saving for your landscape class. I cannot wait. Sending much love and light from here. ❤️🧡💛💚💜💜🖤🤎🤍

I enjoy this type of video, full of fun and inspiration. I made a simple painting while watching this video! thx for sharing!

I love the way you just get in there and work the piece. I would love to do that. I am so very tight when I paint. I struggle to just let go. Thank you for demonstrating so well.

Thank you so much for showing us your process of layering so many different materials! I love it! I use so many different materials, but there are times I get stuck in my own head trying to figure out the best ones to work together, rather than just going for it. I appreciate all that you share. Take care ☺️

Thank you! That’s very inspiring! Makes me want to grab my sketchbook ASAP!

Absolutely LOVE this information and supplied use fun ~ Thank you and I do plan to take the landscape class but need to wait until my birthday! - It will be my present - Thank you so much ~~~❤

I love to watch your process.

I have a big smile on my face, Sandy. You made my day - can't wait to start "smooshing". I love the large tree trunk you created from countless layers. So rich. Thank you, again.

I LOVED this video! Thank you for all the information and I love watching you play and create!

I am a new subscriber and am going back to watch some of your older videos. I learned so much from this one! Thanks for sharing your process.

Always enjoy these videos

I ALWAYS look forward to your videos! ❤

I could watch you make art all day. I really enjoyed this process demo format and can't wait to go paint some layers myself! 😊🎨

Love this type of video!! 😊

Chiming in as you requested to say, Yes! I love these kinds of videos!

Just fabulous …. Off to have a *play* with some art supplies 🥳

39:13 Hi Sandy, just really appreciated and absolutely loved todays video - really enjoyed seeing how you use ‘all the stuff’; I especially enjoyed how you get your fingers in and most of all how you get those great faces! Totally inspired thank you so much ch for these videos, you are so generous with your time and talent for giving us this gift😊Jeanette. ACT Australia

You really encourage me to be free and try things, thank you!

Found your videos a few days ago and they are so inspiring. Thank you.

I recently found your channel and I love your personality and energy 😇 I only have 3 other artsy youtubers that I watch, because I feel like a lot of artsy youtubers that I've seen, focus too much on esthetics and looks and I don't feel connected or inspired to that person. I love the realness of your videos 😊

😊😊😊I'm a person who does art. The valuable information you posted to draw as a hobby is very helpful. Thank you.

The way you did that little lady with the hat was so wonderful! I almost didn’t watch because I didn’t want to be influenced to buy more supplies, but I’m so glad I did watch. Your way is so special.

I love to get my hands in my paint too, but maybe not as much as you. 😊 I tend to want to paint with my fingers when I use oil pastels. And I love your loose figures and smooshing technique. When I do use my fingers, I usually keep an old dish towel or container of water nearby. I have some acrylic markers, but need to get a decent set. Acrylic markers are great bc there’s no paint waste. And then if you get refillable markers, that’s even more environmentally friendly. ❤ Thanks Sandi!😊

Delightful! I’ve packed a baggy with supplies to take out somewhere to create tomorrow. I broke some pieces off my neocolor ii and put them in a mint tin I had. I never would have tried that before meeting you. We will see how I enjoy using them with some gouache and colored pencils I’m bringing along. I’m excited to try!

You’re such a great teacher Sandi

Wow youre the master in layering…❤❤❤

Loved this video!! More please 😊!!! You are so inspiring to watch and going to grab some sketchbooks and “attack” the page🙏🏻

I love how u playfully add layers... Gonna try this 🥰

Loved this video….can’t wait to get out “all the things” and play!!

Hi Sandi, this is very exciting, and helpful. Also visiting your church homepages made me feel like family in Christ. Thank you for showing your process of creating your pictures.

Love it!!

Lovely video and I enjoy watching your process with play. You've inspired me to want to play and draw/paint in other mediums for fun, for my own pleasure.

Well now, your oil pastel trick is very cool. Something about you makes me want to run and play. I think of you often when I need a little dutch courage. You're a gift.

I enjoy your videos and this one is a new favorite! Thanks for sharing in more depth how you layer materials - it definitely makes me want to go smoosh some color around! You’re like a mad scientist in the best possible way, always asking “what happens if I do/add this?” It’s inspiring to see that kind of freedom and play in action. Thank you!

Your table full of art stuff looks so yummy!

I chuckled a little regarding peeling the dried acrylic paint off your plastic palettes. I’ve been painting with acrylics off and on for about 60 years and in that time I’ve been using whipped topping lids. I’ve also obsessed over peeling the dried paint. Maybe squeezing out a little more than I needed just so I could!
