If you want a surface that you can clean all the ink off of the best I have found is grafix craft plastic in opaque white. It is also more heat resistant than yuppo and cheaper. Thanks for the video!
ceecee....that's the prettiest manipulation of alcohol inks ive seen in a long time. You have mastered the use of yupo and ink...congratulations ceecee you are so talented and your videos are exceptional. Ive watched hundreds. Im so inspired by your tutorials
Thank you so much for that sweet comment, Debbie. I don’t feel like I’ve mastered the alcohol inks yet but i sure am having a grand time practicing. There are so many ways to play with them. Have a wonderful weekend!
Your art inspires me......which is what I’ve been looking for.....it’s simply beautiful!!!!! “Dancing in the Rain” my first thought for a name. I’ve only ever commented once b4, and I’ve never worked with alcohol inks, BUT, I’m writing this and I went and bought inks and yupo paper yesterday! Thank you! You’re calm manner in teaching makes anyone watching think they can do it too. I mean seriously, who can’t or doesn’t DOODLE??
Hi CeeCee, "Bumble Bee's Brunch" the small doodle lines on the extensions of the flowers remind me of bees and I am so ready for spring. It's beautiful. Can't wait to CeeCee more.
I think it’s a lovely piece of work. You’ve inspired me to continue to play with this medium, my attempts have resulted in mud - so I’m going to persevere. I found the comments also very helpful.
I paint with my inks all the time. I draw, and then I paint. I don't use Yupo paper, I use card stock or copy paper. works great. sometimes I add some gold with the ink, and it looks beautiful. you should try that. I love what you are doing though. It has inspired me to do some too. I have photo paper here. Apparently it works just a s good as Yupo. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated!!
Another beautiful piece. As I watched you create, I felt very peaceful. I zoned out completely from my world around me. There was harmony as I ‘drowned’ in your art. Perhaps a good name for this piece could be - HARMONY.
CeeCee Tim Holtz has a palette this year that you can add your Alcohol inks to and then let them dry. Then you use your blender and a paintbrush to paint with. It looks really fun!
You can add blending solution in your palette to have more time to paint. You can use rubbing alcohol or blending solution to dry ink in pallet to use the ink again. Also, if you want a stronger, deeper color then add more than you think you will use into your pallet; wait a little time for some evaporation before using the ink and it will be thicker and stronger color to paint with...less fluid, so it stays where you put it. Krylon is the brand to use, but you need to use UV resistant spray as well as the sealer. Either way; 2 layers of UV resistant, followed by 2-3 layers of sealer...OR 2-3 layers sealer +2 layers UV resistant. You can use alcohol ink with anything you would do with water colors. For more color choices you can use copic refill ink, or mix your own. Hope this gives you some more information for future work.
so far I have not been able to bring yupo back to white you can lighten it but it does stain I have been using S-Link paper which does go back to white its real nice to use think Nara paper and craft plastic also all go back to white hope this helps
"Dancing Blooms" And I really can't get over how stunning this is! I have come back several times and watched this. I would love this to be me screen saver for my computer, I could look at it all day:-)
Hello CeeCee, I too am struggling with alcohol inks. I think it is a control issue, but you make me want to keep trying. This turned out beautiful! Our style is very similar. I love the inks for their vibrant color.
This is such a lovely piece Cee Cee ❤👍I'd call it 'Joy Burst' ... it's a product of the joy you received by experimenting and doodling in ink plus these look like bursting flower pods 😊
Love this video CeeCee, I could watch you paint and doodle with zen music playing in the background all day long :) This reminds me of wild flowers. So I would call it Wild Flower Dance. Thanks again for another great video
This turned out AMAZING! I don’t know what you decided to name your painting, but “Daisies in Love” came to mind, because some of the centers look like red hearts.
You may want to watch a few of Lindsay Weirich (The Frugal Crafter) videos on doing watercolor on Yupo "paper." She gets quite nice results without much fuss or bother which takes some of the "say whaaaat?" out of it!
Love love love it. They remind me of bearded iris. Natures sunset, Iris sunset, are my title,suggestions. The colors remind me of a sunset. Please do more alcohol ink studies. I have purchased the alcohol inks but terrified to start using them. You make me want to take the plunge.
Was wondering where you were & see you fell down the rabbit hole of alcohol inks! Addictive (when it goes right) frustrating when it goes wrong, a mostly unpredictable medium. I will try later or on the weekend to see if I can post on Facebook if you’re interested. 😊
"Tuesday Afternoon". That's the name that came to me immediately, then I checked my calendar and you posted this on 1/23/18 - a Tuesday :) Great piece! (and you didn't do anything"wrong" )
Wow, this is mesmerizing watching you create this beautiful painting. Also love hearing your voice narrating your work. First time for me to comment -- these flowers are sooo creative -- "Sun Seekers"
They remind me of a variation of poppy...and they really pop off the yupo with your use of alcohol and choice of colors...I'm going with "a pop of poppies"...very inspiring, tfs :-)
I loved this whole video. Your art is just fantastic. Since you did this art at the beginning of the year I would call it "New Beginnings". take care ~~rita
Can you use another medium, acrylics for example, over dried alcohol ink paintings? I love the ideas you have shown, but would like to try them as backgrounds for my acrylic work. Thanks for a great video.
Kay Johnson i’m pretty sure you can use acrylic paints over that but i would have to test it out first to give you a definite answer. I’m away until the end of February and didn’t bring my paints but I’ll test that out when i get back. Thanks for the suggestion!
This is beautiful ! I love your art, all of it :) For the name of this painting, my suggestion is (and since I know that you speak french) : Belles Flamboyantes ! Merci from France
Love it, now I have to get out my inks. Drunken Spring...hehe. I hear you are coming down not far from me in July. I may have to go to Patty’s workshop for you class.
I love this! I reminds me of those beautiful wildflowers you might see in a pasture of while on a hike! So my vote for a name is .......... "Pasture Pleasures"!
Love it!!! I love everything you do!!! I look forward to all your videos. Very relaxing yet inspirational! I love alcohol ink and their vibrancy. This piece to me is dainty yet whimsical. The name I’d pick would be... Summer Melody😊... just my thoughts... 😊
If you are interested in being able to set a layer of alcohol ink so that you can continue to layer on top without disturbing the dried ink underneath, look up KEILTY INKS in Ireland. They have created a liquid that will fulfill that requirement.
Hi Cee cee, great vid. Loved the combined doodling and abstract flowers. What is the doodling method called please? I have tried to hear it correctly but can’t quite get it. I want to look it up as it looks like a great way to softly add to work
thank you, Bel. i'm not sure i understand your question. if it is something i say during the video, could you please point me towards the time stamp so i can figure it out? the doodling IS the method.... i don't think there's a particular way . do it. i just doodled around the colors. sorry for not understanding your question but i would love to help you out. have a beautiful weekend.
I wonder if you had a slight difficult time at first because you had flipped the paper over. Is the back the exact same as the front? By the way this is gorgeous.
Gorgeous! Tiger Masquerade because the stripes on the flowers remind me of a tiger, so it reminds me of tigers masquerading as flowers. Weird, I know! TFS!
If you want a surface that you can clean all the ink off of the best I have found is grafix craft plastic in opaque white. It is also more heat resistant than yuppo and cheaper. Thanks for the video!
"Standing Proud" because that's what these poppy-esque flowers look like to me. Thank you for this video.
"Pink Lemonade" or "Pink Lemonade and Petals". Such a beauty painting- I adore the whimsy of the pink and yellow bubbles throughout the painting .
ceecee....that's the prettiest manipulation of alcohol inks ive seen in a long time. You have mastered the use of yupo and ink...congratulations ceecee you are so talented and your videos are exceptional. Ive watched hundreds. Im so inspired by your tutorials

Hi CeeCee, "Bumble Bee's Brunch" the small doodle lines on the extensions of the flowers remind me of bees and I am so ready for spring. It's beautiful. Can't wait to CeeCee more.
I had this on double-speed and it was STILL the most relaxing thing I've seen all day...
I think it’s a lovely piece of work. You’ve inspired me to continue to play with this medium, my attempts have resulted in mud - so I’m going to persevere. I found the comments also very helpful.
I’ve found the same thing with my brand of yuppo paper…it doesn’t completely go back to white….there is some staining for sure. I also use piñata inks
Wild Flower Dreams. Such a beautiful piece and loved watching it come to life.
I paint with my inks all the time. I draw, and then I paint. I don't use Yupo paper, I use card stock or copy paper. works great. sometimes I add some gold with the ink, and it looks beautiful. you should try that. I love what you are doing though. It has inspired me to do some too. I have photo paper here. Apparently it works just a s good as Yupo. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated!!
Very beautiful CeeCee I liked that you managed to control the alcohol inks into a more painterly style and your doodles are awesome as always. Xx
Thanks for showing me how to use alcohol ink in such creative ways❤
Another beautiful piece. As I watched you create, I felt very peaceful. I zoned out completely from my world around me. There was harmony as I ‘drowned’ in your art. Perhaps a good name for this piece could be - HARMONY.
I've never been able to bring the Yupo back the way they say either Ceecee and that was the original brand. I love what you did anyway.
CeeCee Tim Holtz has a palette this year that you can add your Alcohol inks to and then let them dry. Then you use your blender and a paintbrush to paint with. It looks really fun!
Dessa Bailey oh i have something like that! I’ll dish it out. Thanks for suggestion :-)

Thank you for all that info, Monica!
Monica Eggleton,
Great advice, Thank you for sharing
"Loving Sunflowers" and that BTW turned out beautifully.
I especially enjoyed the combination of watching you doodle and the music. Very relaxing.
so far I have not been able to bring yupo back to white you can lighten it but it does stain I have been using S-Link paper which does go back to white its real nice to use think Nara paper and craft plastic also all go back to white hope this helps
"Dancing Blooms" And I really can't get over how stunning this is! I have come back several times and watched this. I would love this to be me screen saver for my computer, I could look at it all day:-)
Looks like a beautiful "Fields of Gold" to my mom! Lovely. Thank you very much for sharing!
Love your work with the alcohols. Field of Color. It kind of reminds me of our state flower the California poppy.
Hello CeeCee, I too am struggling with alcohol inks. I think it is a control issue, but you make me want to keep trying. This turned out beautiful! Our style is very similar. I love the inks for their vibrant color.
CeeCee, you do beautiful work! I'm looking forward to seeing more. Your abstract style works very well.
This is such a lovely piece Cee Cee ❤👍I'd call it 'Joy Burst' ... it's a product of the joy you received by experimenting and doodling in ink plus these look like bursting flower pods 😊
"Bloom Explosion" 💥 is what came to mind the moment you asked. The way the ink looks to be exploding and spread out from a flower center.
Hi, CeeCee. Those blooms kinda look like poppies. Thanks for showing us how you doodle.💕
I work a lot in AI and have sold quite a few pieces. I generally use ceramic but some yupo too. I absolutely adore this piece CeeCee, TFS xxx
Love this video CeeCee, I could watch you paint and doodle with zen music playing in the background all day long :) This reminds me of wild flowers. So I would call it Wild Flower Dance. Thanks again for another great video
"Drops and Doodles" Love the real time yupo/alcohol inks ! Very lovely ! TFS, Cece 💖💜❤💞💕
This is so beautiful! Watching you doodle is mesmerizing.
I love the painting. As far as a name, all I can think of is Yellow Whimsy. It reminds me of wildflowers. 😊
One of my favorites, CeeCee. Love your constantly amazingly creative flowers each time. I don't know how you sleep. ha
Gorgeous again! Just amazing. My name for them is Moonflowers.
This turned out AMAZING! I don’t know what you decided to name your painting, but “Daisies in Love” came to mind, because some of the centers look like red hearts.

Awesomeness! Loved the whole process and results. Looking forward to warmer weather when you can open the windows and do more. XO
Wild poppies. They really do look like poppies and sunflowers mixed together. Maybe Sun Poppies or glow poppies or fire poppies.
Alcohol ink flowers on fabric
Good job ceecee. No problem we are not all perfect. Love the music and your project .Love yuoo
I would title the piece 'Golden Spring'. Love the colours and the overall painting.
"spindle blooms" I love your work!
Love watching your skilled artistry here and also the prior video. Inspiring, for sure!
I love your doodles! You ale s us know just what to add!
Bubble Blooms. Love them!
"Warm Dew" is my suggestion for a name. I love your vision. Thanks for sharing.
Was wondering where you were & see you fell down the rabbit hole of alcohol inks! Addictive (when it goes right) frustrating when it goes wrong, a mostly unpredictable medium. I will try later or on the weekend to see if I can post on Facebook if you’re interested. 😊
I think I'm to late for a name, but 'Firework' came to my mind the minute I saw this beautiful work of art.
Loved watching your process. My suggestion for a name is: Blossoms in the Rain or Rain Blossoms.
"Garden Splash". I love it.
Thank you so much for sharing your technique, your piece came out lovely.
Love this look. "Blowing in the Wind"
I see you are in Canada. Try Stone Paper by Opus Art supplies for Alcohol inks. It is wonderful to work with and less expensive than Yupo
"Tuesday Afternoon". That's the name that came to me immediately, then I checked my calendar and you posted this on 1/23/18 - a Tuesday :) Great piece! (and you didn't do anything"wrong" )
Have you tried creating your alcohol ink design on a gel press mat, then pull the design from it with the yupo? I am going to try that this week.
Wow, this is mesmerizing watching you create this beautiful painting. Also love hearing your voice narrating your
work. First time for me to comment -- these flowers are sooo creative -- "Sun Seekers"
They remind me of a variation of poppy...and they really pop off the yupo with your use of alcohol and choice of colors...I'm going with "a pop of poppies"...very inspiring, tfs :-)
Only one side of the paper works. Your work is beautiful

Can you use another medium, acrylics for example, over dried alcohol ink paintings? I love the ideas you have shown, but would like to try them as backgrounds for my acrylic work. Thanks for a great video.

Hi Cee cee, great vid. Loved the combined doodling and abstract flowers.
What is the doodling method called please? I have tried to hear it correctly but can’t quite get it. I want to look it up as it looks like a great way to softly add to work

creationsceecee I thought you said point alizen method of doodling but I am not sure I heard right around 13.30
I wonder if you had a slight difficult time at first because you had flipped the paper over. Is the back the exact same as the front? By the way this is gorgeous.
yes, both sides looked the same to me. thank you!
Gorgeous! Tiger Masquerade because the stripes on the flowers remind me of a tiger, so it reminds me of tigers masquerading as flowers. Weird, I know! TFS!
