    I swore, all my life, that I would never ever do Watercolour. I also cannot draw to save my life. I've been doing collage and mixed media, and decided to try out zentangles, which led me to various videos, which led me to someone doing doodles with watercolour, and she referenced you...
    ... and I am so grateful to have found you. It's been 3 days and I've started my Watercolour journey, that's soothing and challenging at the same time, thanks to you.

    I didn’t think it would be possible to create a video that would be educational and so calming at the same time. This was blissful!

    I consider CeeCee as my art teacher, and inspiration in watercolor painting.
    Her creations are amazing. She truly has that calming effect because in watercolors it can be fun or torture, and she gives you hope. I love this painting! Gold rocks!! I'm so happy to have become a Patreon member. 😘💖🤎

    Enjoy wouldn’t begin to describe my delight and wonder at this exercise. Stunning. Your control is breathtaking. Love, love,love it. Will watch many times. I had to smile when your brush dipped into the gold but it made the painting burst with life. Thank you so much.

    So simple but so elegant. I have a very different feeling doing this rather than when I just paint swatches of the mixes.

    I love watercolor but haven’t mastered it by a long shot. I learned so much from this video alone, after watching numerous beginner videos from others. Finally found someone who demonstrates more on tints and shades vs. just adding more water or more pigment. Thank you! I love the outcome, by the way! Beautiful!

    @mumstheword8851 4 года назад +2

    What a wonderful video and a gorgeous piece of art, CeeCee!! I was afraid I would nod off at one point 😨 Obviously not from boredom but the peace you radiate with your music and gentle brush strokes. Oh my! Thanks for sharing the technical stuff. I love the palette. 💛

    The touch of gold just makes the whole piece pop! I love circles and do natural coffee stains with my coffee cup to distress my writing paper. I love snail mail and write letters but I want each experience of receiving one of my notes or cards to be unique and not a cookie-cutter style. I love your work👍💖☕

    I have been obsessing over coolish grays and warmer neutrals, including metallic gold, lately. I know they’re past their moment, in terms of interior decor, etc. but, I relate with you on the calming appeal of those colors together. This has been such an enjoyable exercise! Thanks so much!
