  1. Hei Sandy! I totally understand you and I think the most important thing in life is to take responsibility for ourselves and do what is right for us. I will, of course, continue to follow you, because you are my biggest inspiration! You are the reason that I finally understand why I didn't do much art in my life before, and it was because I didnt find joy in it. Even though I was curriged, had a lot of support and compliments, I stopped after som few pictures every time. But then I found you, and I found someone a little crazy like I am🤣 After a short while, I started to buy more art materials, made myself an art room at home and started to play. That was over a year ago and I haven't stopped since. Even though I know I can do "prettier" art, I really try to play and don't be too serious about it. I have learned so much from your videos and feel so thankful that I found you. I'm happy that you still want to continue making videos and I hope you will feel better soon. Big and warm hug from me in Norway🥰😍.

  2. Sandi- please do not feel badly about backing off on frequency! I personally cannot wait for your landscape class and other classes! You cannot do it all. Heading to a fall vista per your encouragement to get outside. Praying for you and Grady’s health.

  3. Please take care of yourself…no matter which algorith I will always find your videos…take care love you

  4. Sandi, no need to apologize for doing what feels right to your soul. First and foremost, you must be true to you; to what your soul needs, your mind, your body. Secondly, nurture your gift as you see fit…whatever that means to you. Rest, regroup, hydrate 🙂 While you have an amazing, huge following — it still comes down to you…take sweet care of you. xo

  5. Sandi you are a legend, me and my mum adore you. But that said I follow a few artists on Patreon and have thought for a while that you should have a Patreon which could at least give you some financial return for your prolific and generous output.

  6. When normal people think of paint, they think oil or even acrylic. They're usually concerned about paint getting everywhere and artists taking up too much space They're not thinking about watercolors and they're definitely not thinking about watercolor pencils and watercolor markers. I've never had anyone have a problem with my watercolor markers and pencils.

    As far as your channel, it's whatever you want it to be. If you wanted to live a life under someone else's thumb, you wouldn't be an artist. Yes, going to every other week is going to lessen your reach on YouTube so you probably won't be growing your channel very much. However, the subscribers you do have will still be here so your views shouldn't change. "Do you, Boo."

  7. Do what's best for you! …..Thank you for all your inspiration…..I'll be looking forward to see you in two!

  8. Don’t worry about uploading every other week instead of every week. I have health issues that keep me down and your channel lifts my spirits, but I can always rewatch some of the earlier videos. I learn a lot on second viewing, things that have improved my work. I will also have more time to paint and work in sketchbooks.

  9. you're THE priority! always put yourself first when it comes to your mental/physical health. (feel better soon and we'll be here when you're ready to come back!)

  10. It's a shame they don't allow paints… it would be so picturesque to see an artist at their easel amongst all that beauty and riot of colors!

  11. Sandi honey I am so proud of you for taking care of yourself and taking every other week off. I have become seriously disabled over the last 3 years and I beat myself up for too long for not being able to do as much as I normally would have. We all love you, and heavens honey, you have a treasure trove of videos here. The weeks you take off are a perfect time for us to rewatch old favorites or check in with the ones we really need for our work today. God bless you, stay safe, and bless Grady and your sweet animal companions. I for one will feel better watching you (as much as I will miss you when you're gone) knowing that you are coming to us in a time and a way when you are taking really good care of yourself. Blessings and Love, Maitri 💗

  12. I for one am glad you are taking time for yourself. My husband and I had a nasty virus that lasted 30 days! I was tested multiple times for Covid and the flu and all tests were negative. I’ve only been sick like that once before when I was a child. Crazy germs out there.

  13. Sandi you have helped to bring me back to my art career after the pandemic killed it. I’m am thrilled you are not quitting YouTube and every other week is still a blessing I’m excited you’re giving us. Be well and Art on 🎨

  14. Good for you Sandi! Take care of you. Thank you for the hard work you put in for us. Love your channel!
