At the part of the video where you are talking about your talking during the painting. It’s part of why I love your painting. Your voice is very pacifying to my ears. It calms me down. I rewatch your videos many times not just for your art. But also for the calm feeling your voice emits. Thank you CeeCee. I have learned so much from you over the last two years since beginning my watercolor journey. I love intuitive painting....it’s my favorite.
I adore you. Love your thought process. The openness in speaking your heart. The hazy background is superb. The gold doodling and shading added your speciality. All your videos are lovely.
Yes! Yellow was the perfect addition! Brightens it up just a bit... I’m learning so much! Thanks you.
This is a beautiful painting and I love the thought doodling too! When interspersed with periods of peaceful companionable silence, it feels so relaxing. I watch for meditation - thank you CeeCee. Every day, I have to rest and this is my favourite way to relax xxx
fantastic technique! Your "but it's okay" attitude really inspires me to try!!!!!
so true.....
Coffee in hand! Love the phrase Ghost flowers. That’s what I want to try next. Ty CeeCee!!
hope the coffee was good!
We enjoy the voice over because you have a happy tone while you explain. I love when you say something is “okay”.
Yes
Probably said it many times before but... it is so relaxing to watch you paint!! A really beautiful painting CeeCee! The gold really adds something extra!! Thanks for sharing!! Wish you a nice sunny day!
thank you so much, Mona!
When I paint there is always that moment when the painting looks like a hot mess. Do you ever have trouble working through those times? Or are you able to see the finished results in the middle of the painting
I get the quiet time but I sure appreciate hearing you share your process. Thanks.
I love how stress free your painting is for me when I paint along with you - thank you so much for making all your wonderful art
Hi, I am just trying to get started with watercolours, and I came upon your postings by accident. These red flowers are my favourites, but I have loved everything I have see you do. Thank you for giving me some ideas and inspiration - I will keep looking for more of your work.
I really like this one! Well, I really like everything you do. There is so much that you’ve done that I want to try. I’m just brand new at this and I’m trying to absorb as much as I can. You are adding the yellow now and I love that. It makes such a difference!! Beautiful!
I'm binge watching your videos! Love your style!
thank you, Katherine!
Look like poppies to me. still trying to paint those delicate lines...someday. Very lovely painting, though I kinda stopped breathing when you added the yellow. However, as usual, you were right on the money. Have a great artsy day.
Love the soft muted background and the gold touches always cool xx
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
OK. I've had my 'CeeCee' fix. Time to start the day. Thanks for another wonderful art lesson. Have a good one!
Heehee, wishing you a beautiful day!
Lovely you make it look so easy🎨🎨
I just discovered your channel yesterday, and I'm in love with your style. Thank you for sharing your thought processes.
thanks and welcome to the channel!
I absolutely loved this ... before you put the stems in the blue ghost streaks from the bottom looked like a blue glass vase ..... I enjoy either way with you talking .. you do have a very gentle soothing voice ... or with just music ... I have tried your techniques in my own very inexperienced way and am amazed at how relaxing it is
Really like this! Going to try it also.
I mean this in the nicest possible way... basically, just make it up as you go. Let go of the fear and just splodge some paint onto the paper and see where that takes you. I’m going to do this tomorrow!
The negative trace looks nice in the end.
I think they look like poppies.
Very nice. I did enjoy it. Thank you.
They look like Anemone flowers. So pretty!!
Hello Deirdre
How are you doing?
I love that background!!! The flowers too, but I adore the background :)
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
So delicate. I appreciate your ability to mix colors....loving the stem and leaf color. Thank you for sharing this❤️
Good call on the gold!!!
I love, love, love these little poppies and about the resistance in the wind of your flowers, Jean de La Fontaine, would have said: they bend but do not break as in his fable "Le chêne et le roseau" (the oak and the reed)
friendly
béatrice
merci, Béatrice. oui, j'ai souvent entendu l'expression "ce qui plie ne casse pas".
Love your work.
So beautiful and tranquil. 🙏❤️
I absolutely LOVE this! You make it such a relaxing and fun time and there’s so many surprises ... yellow randomly added? Oh my goodness no! Lol! But it worked so beautifully! Thank you for inspiring us!
GORGEOUS!!!
Luv it!!
Hello Rachee
How are you doing today?
Very pretty CeeCee. 😊💕
Thx for ur videos. I just started painting a few weeks ago and love it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Really pretty
Your work is consistently beautiful and innovative. I have to tell you something funny. At the end, when the painting was completely done, I was startled to see an eye staring back at me! At the top, above the center flower, the background formed a beautiful female eye. If you concentrate, you can see more of her face! It startled me LOL! I'm probably crazy, but I thought I'd share that with you 😊❤️
thank you, Rosemary. i have to admit i'm still not seeing the eye... i winked, i stared but couldn't figure it out. you have one vivid imagination and i respect that! that is awesome. i'll continue staring....
creationsceecee Maybe try seeing your work through your IPad or PC? I do have an active imagination, but my eye is drawn to that "eye" every time!
Quite lovely.
Beautiful w ork.
You call these ghost flowers. But these look so much like poppies. Love it.
Love the flowers (poppies to me!), love the background, love the tiny stems. Lovely all around! BTW- my watercolor party was wonderful- I taught your 4 super quick flowers. They LOVED IT! They want to do it again, so- I need another fun, quick beginner painting-haha! I would love to send you a picture of the paintings they did- where could I send?
that's awesome! you can tag me on Facebook or Instagram @creationsceecee. would love to see it!
beautiful!!! thank you!
Beautiful
Hello Marlene
How are you doing today?
Emma Llewelyn. Wild flowers
I love your work! Thank you so much. As a newbie what I find difficult is that every single person uses different colors and different names of colours. I never know where to get them as they do not usually say, like, Omer Deserres Scarlet.
New subscriber! Love watching other watercolorists! I never wait for it to dry, though. I use my hair dryer lol. I don't have the patience to wait for it to dry 😋😋 Your work is beautiful!
thank you, Joya, and welcome to the channel!
What pallets are u using? Nice mixing trays. Lovely simple flowers
I love your style, confession: I always have to force myself not to gush. :-) 💖💖💖 It's amazing... when you first start out, everything looks like a blob, and then it turns into beautiful art! Mine otoh, just turns into an even bigger blob. :/
oh my, i don't know any artists that don't like when people gush so be my guest! LOL LOL and i think you might be a little too hard on yourself -- we all started with blobs. have a wonderful and creative day!
Good Morning CeeCee! This is, for me, Thursday morning, and I actually got 'this' video yesterday morning. I watched it 3 times, I love the Asian feel, at least it seems super Asian to me :-) I really want to try to make a painting like this, but I have to mix the colors with the colors I own (not many colors, no sets or anything, I'm building a set tube by tube). I started on the red color, and it will do for now, but I haven't figured out how to mix an indigo blue yet. For Indigo I have Ivory Black ( PBlk6-PBlk6), Phalo Blue G/S (PB15) and Quin Red (PR209). I'm still trying. I'm not complaining, it's cool to mix colors, but it can get frustrating when hours in the colors still aren't what you're trying for. I love this painting so much..haha...I love all of your work SO MUCH!
Anyway, I'm hoping you'll upload a video today!!! I hope everything's alright, and would feel terrible if it isn't, but I need my morning CeeCee, AND my morning coffee ;-) Ooohh, I hope you put one up!!! You're helping me to play with my stuff, which is so wonderful! And I know you have loads of videos on your channel...there's just something so especially magical about receiving your morning videos :-) I love them, CeeCee, and I really appreciate that you make them for us. I love everything about them, and you
you're so sweet, Stacey. thank you so much for the comment; it's a good confidence booster :-) keep art-ing and keep mixing!
Thank you, CeeCee, you're sweet as well
Poppies!
This was a tour d'fun, CeeCee. Carol xo
Hello Carol Martine
How are you doing today?
I love it so much ... ! i paint a little same in pink ... ! "rose opera " paint of Sennelier it's so funny !! i'm happy thank you very much of south of France !!
bonjour Élzabeth. j'adore la peinture d'aquarelle de Sennelier! merci pour ce gentil commentaire.
Really lovely. It’s not cute...it’s pretty, really pretty. It would look lovely on my wall.
Can I ask what type of tape you use to anchor your paper down please?
I’m on a creationsceecee bender. I can’t seem to get enough. I am learning so much but so far it’s not translating into beautiful works of art like yours. And so this brings me to a random question, what kind of pencil sharpener do you use to get such a fine point? Lol :)
thank you, Maria, for watching the videos. don't get discouraged if you're not getting the results you want -- i've been creating with watercolor for almost 3 years now and i still get those "unsatisfactory" results from time to time. so keep painting. as for your question, it's an electric sharpener from Staples (of the same brand) and it's nothing special but it does work well.
creationsceecee thank you :)
I love watching you paint, but this particular episode was very helpful to me. I appreciate that you explained your process as you went along so that we understood why you took the steps you did. Fantastic!
P
I just discovered you site, beautiful, but I would like to buy some gold painting would you tell where you buy your Kremer Pigments in Québec Thanks so much.
so elegant..... better without doodlesssss....
Hello Maria
How are you doing today?
Your work is lovely, great art. I agree with others regarding the music. For me, no matter how much I like the soothing music in the beginning it becomes terribly monotonous in time unless videographer changes up constantly. Otherwise, I mute their volume. You choose nice music but really like hearing you down-to-earth voice & just a little music ever so often ☺️🌸🌺🥀
CeeCee, I absolutely loved this painting, it’s so awesome and beautiful and stunning.......those flowers are just fabulous. Thank you so much 😊
Love your style, so relieving, so free and intuitive. Love the simple lines and muted colors. Congrats z keep recording please! 😍
Hello Tania
How are you doing today?
Beautiful I’ve learned a lot from you keep going xxx
So beautiful and delicate ghost flowers! Such a cute name for them. I love the colours and the gold! Really lovely! : )
I certainly love your commentary, but I equally enjoy watching you paint with relaxing music. In either case, I learn.
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
Having your narration as you work I find really helpful--listening to your thought process is a real benefit. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your work!
And I have just been CEECEEFIED! This is such an amazing work of art!
LOL too funny! thanks and have a beautiful day.
Thank you so much for posting your videos. I am learning so much and am ready to give it a go.
The painting is lovely and the finishing touches are wonderful! Thank you.😉
Hello Linda
How are you doing?
Lovely and I love the ghost flowers, will have to try this x
What fascinates me is your uncanny choice of colors and their hues they are almost always spot on
I appreciate your talking thru your painting as I have learned so much. If you miss your quiet mornings with only music as your companion, why not schedule these tutes at a different time, if possible. I totally relate to uninterrupted time with my paintings, yet find it ever harder to get. I still try though because it is very relaxing. I love your work and how you let parts of your paintings in the mornings be so free. I hope to increase my freedom by letting go more often (which is not my norm!) because I know intellectually and from many artists telling me of their experiences, being free with my art will bring wonderful results in art & soul. Thank you, Ceecee. XOXOJane
Hello Jane
How are you doing today!
CeeCee what a lovely lovely painting! I could so see that hanging in one of my rooms. It is so lovely!! You have inspired me to give this a try!!
Kat F y
Thanks for the view inside your thoughts as you create such beauty. It is so appreciated!
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
Adore your videos. Wish you would zoom out though. Not good to be zoomed up close for so long
J'adore ... c'est bon de regarder tes vidéos merci
What a delicate simplicity.... beautiful. ☺❤
You expertise is amazing ! But this requires many years of experience and knowledge of color, balance, perspective shading etc.
Not to easy for a beginner even you are taking much though and prepping .
This is beautiful! I am learning so much by watching your videos CeeCee. Thank you for sharing, it is so very much appreciated! 😍
Hello Susan
How are you doing today?
So gorgeous, love the addition of the yellow, it certainly did it's job, as did the gold. Tfs xo
This was unique and beautiful
Whether you want to do voice over , soft music or talk as you go is up to you I want you to do whatever you’re comfortable with at the time.
If the gold was not already there, would you have used watercolor instead of the pencil?
For a “simple painting’, it’s simply beautiful! Love your live videos and actually, I love all your videos!! Thank you for sharing!
Or are they nasturtiums? Changing morph flowers!
Hi, do you sell your art? Beautiful work, thank you!
Beautiful work - hope someday my doodles will be HALF as good as yours!
I imagine the flowers are carnations
Your videos are always so inspiring and informative. I love watching during my daily lunchtime walk. Please keep spoiling us all with the beautiful pictures you create. You've inspired me to try your techniques over last few months.
Thank you so much, Rob!
Thank you again CeeCee. It’s just lovely.
You did not add doodle art to this painting . Love it!! I do like the doodling also, not criticizing. Personally, I find this picture uncluttered and I love the colors!
Hello Tammy
How are you doing today?
Red blue mix is Ceecee’s grey
Very beautiful! Thx for sharing.
Thank you. Really lovely flowers.
Great inspiration - Thank you
I absolutely adore this painting!! Just a random question. Are there any watercolor instructional books that you like or recommend. I've been following Jean Haines and Jenna Rainey's books, but always looking for more suggestions. Thanks so much.:)
thank you, Renee.the only books i have on watercolor are very specific and all by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law. she has a series of them, all about the magical worlds of fairies, angels, mermaids, etc. so it's very specific to that genre. I also have the first book by Danielle Donaldson, "Creative girl", which is mostly watercolor incorporating mixed media techniques. i learned mostly by experimenting. sorry i couldn't answer your question with more suggestions. have a beautiful day!
creationsceecee thank you!! I have both of Donaldson’s books and enjoy them.
So fun to watch you
Thank you ceecee
You were the one who brought up how you loved doing your morning exercises with music. Using Liberace's accent, "Tank You, Tank You, Tank You!!!" (The musician with piano adorned with a fancy candle stick or was it Lawrence Welk?) I had wanted to tell you how much I miss those videos but I benefit from your recent style videos too. It would be wonderfully HEAVENLY if you did some of both, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!? As you get further away from the music ones, your voice intonation has gradually become less enthusiastic or stressed. Neither of those descriptors are not quite the word I am searching for in my brain. But there is a tenseness in your voice.
thank you for sharing your thoughts on that, Nancy. i will mist it up and i'm sorry that my voice showed a bit of fatigue and emotions. as it stands, my son-in-law had a stroke 2 weeks ago. he's ok for now, waiting for heart surgery (at 30 years old, healthy living lifestyle and all) and i was trying to keep it together. talking, even to a camera, helps release some stress for me. i apologize if i've worried anyone or conveyed the wrong message with my tone of voice. i will go back to music on and off, probably like i did with my alcohol inks videos.
I will pray for your son-in-law and your families. The fact he is so young, recovery should be faster. You might share with them one of my nurses got on my last nerve with insisting I get up and walk the day after surgery.. I just barely caught myself curling my hand into a fist and raising it to punch her. I am a peace lover but being split wide open with a bone saw and my rib cage opened with an instrument I pictured like being the jaws of life, her constant nagging more than ruffled my feathers!!! Also, No apology is needed for your tone of voice. I fully expect you to be human. Much love and hugs.
Love this!
I found the "deep scarlet" :)
beautiful
love that gold.
