Something slightly more experimental/ philosophical this week. I wanted to go back to the basics, ink, water and some of my thoughts. Let me know if you like these types of videos :P Or if you find them boring T^T (I hope not!)
Lots of love, Coco
P.S. I'm in the process of making a watercolor tutorial-ish-ish for next week. I didn't forget! :D

I am just learning to slow down and love what I am doing, after almost desperately practicing, rushing, tearing my hair out when I couldn't make what I saw appear on paper. I am learning to stay right there, in the painting, and love that moment. This video is ... just... perfect. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
+Beth B Artz Hi Beth! Thank you for all the kind words you left on my videos. You are very sweet. I'm guilty of the go-go-go mentality too. I try to remember that for painting magic tends to happen when we slow down. So take a deep breath and watch it unfold before you. No stress, no worry :) Lot of love and courage on your art journey
+Coco Bee Art Thank you for replying, and for the kind words. I am finishing a major project right now, but I can hardly wait until it is done. I actually just got my first set of professional quality watercolors, and I'm a bit afraid of them... So, if I can relax (big if... lol), I want to "play" in a relaxed way and get to know them. Keep painting sweet lady. Your spirit just shines through, and warms my heart.
You know what coco, i have always had a hidden passion for drawing, painting and watercolor. And you have inspired me to start my journey. Thank you 💙
It's nice that you're using ink in this video! Definitely one of my fav tools!
One of the things I was thinking about is that one of the crucial things that makes up an artist in my opinion is that you have to have the belief that you're going to get better as an artist tomorrow and the next day and the next day and so forth. A lot of people I've seen who try to get into art quickly lose that motivation, always telling themselves that they're never going to improve in the future. Which is why it takes a lot of time, patience, and practice! Nice video as always Coco! I was glad to share my thoughts with you! :D
+Art by Alex It's Alex!!
This video is stunning - your art, the music, the narration. I especially love considering the profound things you say as I watch. Keep it up; your channel is incredible!
Everything about this makes me to want to scream. In a good way. I just
Like how I can feel all the motion and it makes me want to scream, as in just, letting it out :) just all of it, it breath taking.its soothing and encouraging and just kind of is able to pick me up, you know?i love it. I love it so, so, so, much. All your peices just help me get away for a few minutes. It makes me want to cry, laugh, yell, hit something. But it all is in such a good way. Thank you so much, Coco Bee.❤️
Please do all that and come back for a hug. :)
Yes, it's surely a journey. Yes, it's my expression of something inside me. Yes, I must pursue my art. Thank you for sharing your art. It's inspiring to me.
I think everyone is an artist. All we need is a spark of creativity. Thank you for lighting us up my dear.
Loved watching the picture come together & reading your thoughts on what an artist is. Your art is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely adore your videos. They're so inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing them. I've just been binge watching them all night, and I'm completely and utterly inspired. Thank you.
Beautifully profound. I love the idea of art as a rediscovery of who we already are. thank you!
What do YOU think it takes to become a an artist? :)
+Coco Bee Art I agree with you. I love your videos, they always make me think.
+Coco Bee Art The need to make things even if only you see them. It's like a plant that will always need water.

Hi
I am 10 years old and love to draw. when i was small everybody taugth i had a special talent cause i drew princesses with like 2 years and dolphins and horses with like 6 years. i skipped a grade and had A/A+ everywhere.when i reached 5th grade (in germany it's like middle school,i guess) i had a longer way to school so my parents bought me a smartphone. i discovered TH-cam and soon found a lot of artists. but they are all big and old (sorry) and i tryed to be as good as they but i couldn't make it. i was depressed and never wanted to draw or paint anymore. so i searched some easy tutorials and practiced every day. i got better but i won't stop. i will draw to my limits. yesterday i saw some ugly (abstract) pictures in TV, i mean they were just some dots on a canvas. my friend liked drawing to but i soon caught up to her. i got more confident. i hope i will soon get as well as you or artists like LEONARDO PEREZNIRTO,DEBBY ARTS... i will never stop. i will fight for my goals. thank you, coco bee. thanks a lot

I can't agree more with what you think! You're an artist no matter what you draw,think,paint, or write, no matter what people say!
Video on point, as always!
It's sometimes the only thing that makes me feel calm.
When you put a tool to a surface and something beautiful comes out, it's so satisfying. It's almost like it completes something that you weren't able to find unless you made it yourself. I only wish I were able to do abstract art that just ends up being beautiful like some of your works. Alas, I'm not so creative, so I satisfy myself with watching your videos instead. =)
I would like to thank you so much! Because of your videos, I got the inspiration that I needed to start drawing again! I really enjoy your art, please keep posting videos! Thank you ^^
I never make comments on TH-cam videos but I discovered your channel two days ago and right now I'm in love with your drawings and your paintings with watercolor. It's so beautiful and inspiring, thank you 💜
+Isadora Locatelli Awww, Isadora
+Coco Bee Art
Oh my goodness, you are my favorite. I never realize i needed a pick-me-up until i feel so much better after one of your videos. Thank you for existing.
Heart flutters
I think you can become an artist on the fact that if you love painting or drawing or art! You can call yourself an artist!
So beautiful, inspiring and calming... I believe an artist is someone who has the tendency to constantly create something (and it can be anything )because otherwise there's just something missing. And yes, I agree that to some extent everyone is an artist but I also think that this tendency to create might be stronger to some people. And art is in the air, everywhere I look around! :-P haha Much love to you!

Absolutely. So well said. Thanks ever so much for sharing.
omg i know i rant about nearly ever video but u are truley talented and and an inspiration
My oldest sister would like to draw when we were younger & I got interested in it so she taught me to draw. I'm not a professional in my drawing but it has been a way of escape when things get too heavy. I've make card which has saved me tons of money when it comes to sending cards to people for the different occasions, I have water color paints which I incorporate as well into my cards. I've learned different techniques as well online which helps me expand in the different areas of art. I love creating & be able to create art to bring a smile to peoples faces makes me happy. 😀
well that is so cool u know... i'd like to see ur paintings on insta maybe .. check mine @miss_souss i paint too
i like the incorporation of meaning and messages as text along with your visual art work. really unique, nice music in the background, soothing. it puts me in the zone to reflect and think as well. #inspiring
I so love ink and how it flows over paper! Wonderful video, Coco! And I do feel that being an artist is a journey. Your art grows as you grow as a person. It evolves and surprises you. I know I surprised myself countless of times and while I've always that I was an artist, I only pursued an artistic career 5 years ago. It's been a wonderful journey so far. And it was definitely a re-discovery of who I am. Thanks so much for sharingg your thoughts with us!! :)

+Coco Bee Art You're wonderful!! It's an amazing journey indeed and I'm very happy that I found you as well as I can learn a lot from you, too. ^_^ Have a gorgeous day!
Emotion... and the bravery to allow the results 'out' there 😊
Your videos are just so calming! Love em so much :') Amazing artworks BTW!
and your videos never could be boring! I love them so much!
+Milena B I agree! You're such sweetheart
i really like your style of creating. lucky to discover your channel, keep inspiring others. hope to see more of your work :)
There's so many facts in your videos that I can relate to you! You seem to have the same thoughts as me, :). Great art, great music, great journey, ... Find your way and observe your artworks as the progression of yourself throughout your time laps of your growing soul and mind.
+Fuyu No Tori Tran Absolutely! I started youtubing, in part, for that exact reason: a documentation of my progress and growth as a person. Also to see why I was having trouble with water balance. hahahahahh. It's always a joy to find like minded people. A big hug to the beginning of OUR journey
So true and pure, like your art thanks for all you share.
+Deborah Oates Thank you so much sweet Deborah!
Art is my Passion will be with me forever.
I LOVE your videos, they're so very inspiring. Thank you!! :)
It opened my eyes,
And took my doubts. Thank you so much for this wonderful inspiration. Yes, are not we all artists, everyone in his own way? And even the great masters of the arts, they did not have the same questions and thoughts ..?
Your beautiful work and your words have touched me deeply !!! Thanks !!! Sorry if my english is bad..i am from Germany..Heartfelt Rosanna
Warm hugs for Rosanna from Germany
This is art. Your artwork always leaves me breathless just like your words. You're such an ispiration! Keep up the unbelievable work! 😍❤🌠
+Serena Cantini Thank you so much Serena
Wow, i love your videos so much! And i totaly agree with you.
I love your videos - they're so beautiful and inspiring!
On a related note to this video, Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." :)
+brokenscrewdriver YESSSSSS! Exactly this! My thoughts exactly :D
Beautiful and inspirational...thank you for sharing.
we are all already artists ...we can do or create everything if we want to. but we just have to do!
I think that your way of thinking reflect your way of painting and I kinda like that so much! :)
+Milena B Very introspective of you Milena :) Thank you so much for your support and for sharing
Your videos are truly inspiring :) Thank you
i love your videos......they make me dream.......thanks a lot
Another great video :) a lot of times we do have these questions, of who an artist is!
Well said and again beautiful work :)
Thank you, Coco Bee. This is beautiful and thought provoking. =)
What pens do you use and where might an aspiring artist purchase them? Or as you say, an artist on her journey to reach her full potential.
Amazing video! I shy away from calling myself an artist even though I have been making things for years. Your video has made me think about it so maybe I am an artist after all. thanks so much for making this video!
+Kerri Hickman I was pretty apprehensive of calling myself an artist too...(I like to use aspiring artist at the moment. hahahaha) I think it's hard enough sharing part of yourself with the world so publically....we don't also need self criticism of what we are or not. So I figure, it maybe good to offer some comforting thoughts? :) You're awesome already Kerri
Thanks for the motivation.
I love your videos soo much, also your music taste is amazing☺️💗💕
+Alice Soul Awww, thank you sweet Alice
Thank you for this thought!
You should do a draw my life video

+mahdiyya khan You're most welcome dear friend
lovely ! amazing Chanel
thank you.
This one made me cry... thank you for this master piece... BTW that drawing you did in this video was it black ink and water or white ink ?
+Mueena Esat Awww sweet friend
Yep that helps. Thanks a lot. Keep inspiring and keep doing things which makes you happy :D
I think an artist is someone who have an intention to create something. Whatever it is. Beautiful or ugly, small or big. The intention is the art, the result does'nt meant a thing.
Where did you get that pen?
Oh I wish I could find a dip pen like that sweetie
i simply love your work and your courage!
+Miruna Niculae Oh dear Miruna
a bit late to know this video, but I think a lot about it too. I even think about the relation between God and becoming like this, I mean such an artist maybe, I dont know.
cool video
i just didnt like how it keeps getting out of focus
This was so poignant it made me tear up. I can do this. I can be me.
Thank you
:)
:D
