Your sketchbooks are so inspiring, Sandi! Thank you as always, for sharing. Your 'fearless' approach to laying down colour, and your expressive mark making is a joy to see.
Fun recap. Love all the sketch book work!!! You must be going like crazy behind the curtain. Seems like so many new projects are in the works. I painted one canvas over the last couple weeks and felt like I was obsessed. I did a couple little sketchbook things but nothing like the joyous explosion of creative outlay you produce along with your million other things... class prep, vacation with some of my favorite sketchbook/paintings , the maybe show in NY...fingers crossed 🤞 I await the coming releases with excitement. Go go gadget Sandi the wonderkin
Fun stuff. Be careful with the inktense. They are not lightfast. Must have heard that from
Roz Stendahl. She hs a great blog where she reviews different products. Always been leery of them over all the years I have been doing sketchbooks. 17 yrs now. Not counting college. That would make another four years of sketchbook keeping.
Hi Sandi I just wanted to say that at 2.31mins your work took my breath away . I absolutely love your watercolour /gouache work as it is so loose and I love your landscapes and your figurative work so having them all in one painting was just brilliant. Again at 434 and 654 with landscape and figures are brilliant. Also you "mark making" page is amazing. (347) , it seems to reflect a freeing process and this may sound odd but seems to allow your generous spirit to shine through.... perhaps because there is no pressure to create a portait/landscape/ still life. Just love seeing you push through and play with these sketches. Thank you for sharing. PS Ali Express sells these brushes that you are using for next to nothing. I can send a link if you are interested.
I have forwarded a link in a message to you on your website I titled the message ali express cheap brushes. When you go to this page there are also many other brushes recommended. Cheers
how fun Sandi, love your sketchbooks
I’m loving the lake/ocean scene with the 2 figures, and especially that adorable little house in the distance

Lovely to see a still life again!
Now I need to look up Jean Cooke! As always, you are so inspiring. Thank you.
Paint from paintings, yes. Thank you for the reminder/permission.
Yes, finally! A square sketchbook with ivory paper, can’t wait to see what you make in it!
Love the paintings with the figures and the mark making one. Love your more impressionistic work.
That square notebook with the ivory paper is really interesting. Can't wait to see what you do with it. :)
“I just desperately needed to use a coloured pencil” is maybe one of the most relatable phrases I’ve ever heard

Awesomeness galore!!! Great sketchbook collection 🎨📚 Cannot wait to see that large canvas painting that you are working on and keeping us in suspense.
I love the figures in the field. Make it your own and do a series!
