    My eyes popped - with gratitude - when you zoomed into your brushwork. Love that effect! This is the best demo on this technique ever. I needed that so much today - quiet painting and lovely soft background music - so soothing.

    Your sessions are like gifts sent out into the universe. I pick them up downstream, when life opens up enough for me to visit your lovely river of creativity. I can’t thank you enough for them. . . they are refreshing, sustaining, and inspiring. This one appeared at an especially thirsty moment.

    I absolutely love all the different textures you created with the different doodling. I'm glad you didn't keep it to just dots or lines. I don't think it was too busy at all... it created a lot of interest for me. Love your work Ceecee💗Thank you!

    I am just loving all your watercolor doodle videos! They inspire me to create because they are so simple yet sublimely beautiful. They just give me joy when I see them so I know that this way of painting will help me get myself out of a slump. I’ve been taking walks in a local forested park and taking pictures of emerging plants and flowers that I fancy and of the creek that runs through it. I am always looking for things in nature to paint so I take tons of shots for reference.

    I drew 77 pansies for my Mothers recent birthday, as cut out shapes with watercolour pencils, then put them randomly over a poster she already had. I didn’t overthink with the colours & shapes. I might watch this a few times & do something like this for my Father. So relaxing ❤️ & enjoyable to watch

    Aren’t those Silver brushes great? I have an order coming today from Jerry’sArtarama that includes 3, getting them for my niece, as I am giving her a 24 set of the lower grade Sennelier pan watercolors and some decent paper. During the quarantine she just threw herself unexpectedly into art and I want to encourage her to keep it up. Those brushes are such awesome quality for the price, and so pleasurable to paint with.
