Life can be precarious but when we find and follow inspiration it all comes together in clarity. Lisa Bunn
How do I get up podcasts or audiobooks
Another fascinating look at your “process”. Your colors are stunning. Love watching you blend. Or not! You really inspire me to let go and trust my artistic impulses. I just bought a bunch of paper so I can be more fearless. Thanks for sharing your creative genius, CeeCee.
I adore you! Nobody should ever complain about your hand shadow while creating mesmerizing beauty! You are extraordinary, wonderful to listen to, as you possess a calmness to your voice. Your work is soothing, inspirational, and beautiful. You are kind enough to share.
CeeCee 😘💖🎨🌹
Thank you so much for these kind words, Liz. i have a lot in me to share and i wish to share it in the best possible way so sometimes i get upset about technical details. i appreciate what you said tremendously because it is bringing me back to why i decided to share my art with all of you. once again, thank you 🙏 🌸
Your honesty and demonstration of working through a lack if inspiration is so very useful. Thank you for your fearlessness.
I appreciate that! thank you, Sherry!
I can't believe a nice Canadian lady that creates beautiful paintings at youtube introduced me to Kremer pigments who are literally around the corner of me in Bavaria, Germany. They are awesome pigment manufacturers. Family owned and their pigments are heavily thought after for restoring old paintings etc because often they are the only ones able to provide special pigments.
I Wish I had such a "lack" of creativity. I love it!!
the thing is, you already have it...
I love it and I love how excited you get when you add gold to your pieces. Thank you for pressing on even when you didn't feel like it. You are so encouraging and inspiring.
"today I have zero inspiration" .. I appreciate your honesty so much!! I love the quote and how you shared your thought process as you painted which resulted in a lovely abstract. Even on days when you aren't feeling inspired please know even that inspires your followers.
Lol..Tadahhh! Gold boxes star of the show ..Love it ..Who on earth would complain about shadows ,it’s not touching your work ,it’s not affecting your masterpiece ..Don’t pay any attention it can’t be helped your desk is pure white 🥰
Dots, circles, lines and squares will never let you down when you are stuck for where to go. I love using geometric shapes, simple yet satisfying. You got your gold back. Sweet. Looks beautiful. 😚
Even if you’re not inspired you still inspire others.
I agree wholeheartedly!
I recently came upon your work. And made one of your pieces. I used these pearlescent watercolors I purchased randomly in January. I only started watercolors in December. I loved how it turned out. This piece is simple, elegant and fun. Thanks for new inspiration. I love abstract.
Thank you for this! I have been hung up for a while, and this was a wonderful reminder! (I also just wait for your inevitable reaction to the gold - I love it!)
Thank you Cee Cee! Once again you amaze me. You are so soothing, soft spoken, and not afraid to share a vulnerable side. Love this piece that grew out of drawing some lines. Unfortunately you were stressed about it before hand which I wish wasn't the case. Keep on your wonderful journey, I appreciate you immensely!
Motivation comes from action.
When I first saw this video before I signed on, I thought it said I am still leaving! Lol! Just shows how wrong one can be sometimes! This is gorgeous and a wonderful lesson for when we have no ideas....just start with something simple. Thank you and we appreciate you!
Thank you for sharing how you push past a block 💜
Oh my this is so lovely and best of all you are so vulnerable in sharing your struggles, we all echo those moments. Love every aspect of your work planned or unplanned.
Thanks for using my favourite quote! And yes, a good reminder to simply pick up a tool and start something, Thank you Ceecee - blessings to you!
Dear Ceecee, I WAS desperate……haven’t touched a brush in two years…. When wanting to start again last October, I found myself in need of a “simple” cataract operation, which became complicated….then more complications 😢. Am on holiday now in the Netherlands at my daughter’s home and when I arrived, I found she had made me a mini studio in front of a big north-facing window. Right I still not working properly but you inspired me to start colourwashing and then doodling, instead of my painstaking botanical stuff I love so much. I love you Ceecee… thank you thank you thank you 🙏 ❤🎉
Hi CeeCee! Thank you so much for the encouragement that one can start with zero inspiration and if we just relax and take the first stroke we can come up with a beautiful creation. I am at a 'stuck' point after my baby sister, who is in the last stages of liver disease, said she is commissioning me to paint something for her using pink's. I'm stuck! My thoughts are to paint something that incorporates all four sisters & three brothers. I'm sure I'm putting too much thought into it. Thank you for showing me that if I lay down some color something will show up! I needed this. You're the best!
much love to you and your family through this difficult period, Suzanne. the painting WILL come and it will be beautiful. 🌸
Love it! It’s so cute how excited you get when you lay down the gold. Thank you for giving me such a fun and relaxing part of my week.
As always love to watch you paint. So inspiring and yet relaxing. Thank you for putting yourself out there and encouraging us
SO HELPFUL ❣️ I’m a beginner watercolorist and have so many ideas until I actually sit down at my art desk-then I go completely blank and get so deflated. Thank you for ALL your videos. 🙏
Hopefully, we will all still be learning - indefinitely! 😍🥰😘🧡❤
Thank you so much for your weekley inspiration and effort to keep us going to ☺️❤️
We are all constantly learning throughout life…amazing how just starting with something simple…lines…stirs the imagination …turned out well..especially with the gold
Please don’t let the stress of numbers ruin your joy of creation. No one requires you to post videos on any regular basis. I’ll watch them regardless of when you post them. Mental health is more important than numbers. You are valuable and loved🤗
Hi dear CeeCee! Oh I had that kind of a day some days ago when I HAD to perform... lol I managed to do a little something anyway, but it IS hard when you are uninspired. I did not even think of the shadow until you mentioned it LOL I was so into watching what you were doing! :) Think how boring life would be, if we all already knew everything? I mean think of how fun it is to keep learning new things! It is exciting! Cool idea with the "building blocks". You've got such a beautiful handwriting! Love the art piece CeeCee! It is both cute and pretty!! Thanks for sharing!! Wish you a wonderful and creative week! Stay safe! Hugs! xx ( LOVE that song from your son!!! Fab!! )
thank you for all the kind words about my art and my son's music, Mona! you are totally correct: the fun is in the learning process. i hope the weather in your part of the world is pleasant... i keep hearing about horrible weather in Europe. wishing you a wonderful weekend. lots of hugs xx 😊🌸🎨
After hearing your first comment..i really had a laugh..today..me too..shhhh! Truth is i do not feel completely well!.....maybe this will make me feel better..
I truely love your quotes♥️
Learning our whole lives IS fantastic! If we were already perfect, there would be nothing left to do! 😊
Yeah. What she said. (Liz). LOL. I second that comment of Liz’s. I remember seeing your art on Pinterest and then I saw more and more and was like WoW. Who is this cee cee and I’ve got to find her on RUclips. Your creations are right up my alley. Not only do you create awesome and unique artwork but your process and how you talk us through it could NOT be improved upon. I truly appreciate how generous you are with your talent. Thank YOU! Thank you.
thank you so much for the kind words about my art, Jeanine. i'm glad it is bringing you joy and inspiration. wishing you a wonderful and creative week! 😊
Enjoyed your video and the process of going from zero inspiration to creating something so beautiful. 👏💕🇿🇦
Wonderful. You’re right, just doing anything, a doodle, some spirals, some circles…they seem to loosen up my brain. And suddenly I have some artwork. 😄😄😄
CeeCee, I LOVED this video! Thank you for doing it! I wish you posted videos more often. Your quiet, relaxed voice is SO appreciated! And your style is so awesome! Thank you so much for what you do!!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm in the middle of packing for a long drive, so no time for painting and no energy for inspiration. This has helped me to realise my painting will not be stalled. Xx
I am glad you are choosing to post every other week or so. You seem to put far too much pressure on yourself to create content. It still turns out fabulous...with zero inspiration. What you produce is amazing and uplifting. We followers will wait with anticipation but patience for your beauty. Beauty not only in your paintings but in the calm of your voice and the graciousness of your words.
I like the simplicity of this. You are an incredible inspiration for me. Within me is an artist just scrambling to surface. When I attempt watercolor painting, it turns out awful. Soooo, I’m thinking I will have to bite the bullet and purchase higher quality paints, brushes and paper!
I won’t give up!! 💪🏼🎨
Lovely. ! Love the lopsided boxes !
It is beautiful and you may start out not knowing what you are going to do, but your creations are always stunning! Thank you for sharing your art. ❤️
This is beautiful, Yesterday I opened and closed my book because I did not know what to paint today I will try something similar because it looks so beautiful and free. You should be proud of yourself you are an inspiration.
We must never let her run out of gold again! I LOVE when you use gold!!!! 🤩
One of my favorite paintings that you have created, Ceecee. Thank you.
Thank you so much! A few weeks ago, I injured my shoulder and had to stop most of my creative work. I’m much better now, but haven’t been able to get myself back to my art table (or my sewing machine). Too much time playing video games! But this has spurred me to go put some blobs on paper.
Thank you so much for your "uninspired inspiring video" at this particular time for me... anyway, I love how it turned out! Much love to you and your calming voiced informational and inspirational videos I'm somewhat new to.. I'm addicted!
Love your sense of composition!
Wow... and look what your lack of inspiration has led to!! A true work of art again. So beautiful 👌🏼😍
I often end up turning abstract pieces. Beautiful!
You have THE BEST writing…I wish….lovely piece!!! Always love seeing gold coming to the party🟠🟠🟠
Thank you so much!
I am now inspired to try a lack-of-inspiration watercolor doodle. 🤗 So curious to see what my lack of inspiration looks like. 🙈😊
THANK YOU!!! I have been struggling lately with watercolour and have not been producing very much at all. It's a creative block. You just helped me scale the block and I am now much more inspired to go play with watercolour again. Thank you. You're inspiration is much appreciated.
Thank you so much Ceecee, I really really enjoyed watching you create this gorgeous and amazing picture, I really really love ❤️ it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Oh Emma you really wear your heart on your sleeve and like me I'm sure many people identify with you - you have a beautiful soul. We all have good and bad days. I don't have any imagination at all. If I can't copy it (usually from my own photos) I cant draw or paint it. I love your doodles. Do you know how hard it is to doodle if you have no imagination? You always seem to come up with beautiful creations. Love those little gold boxes and love that stencil. I wonder how many people noticed you didn't put the 'a' in Michelangelo? I had to look it up and I was wrong, no 'a'!!!...live and learn...Thank you lovely lady..don't be too hard on yourself we all love you and your gentle ways and voice...have a happy day x
Love your work. You inspire me. Just watching, listening to you and your choice of music is so relaxing.
It just shows that the "creative one", is always in us some where. I look at this and find myself at the beach with an amazing sculpture. Xxx
Both beautiful and brilliant as always. I'm loving your work incorporating quotes, it somehow let's us in even more to your amazing creative world if that's possible. Thank you so much.
When I saw this piece, my world hadn’t shifted on its axis yet. Watching it days later has grounded me in ways you’ll never know. From the bottom of my ❤️ thank you CeeCee
Appreciate you so much! 🙏 Thank you for the time you spend and your wonderful gift for sharing. 🌹
You're so creative, although you wasn't inspired - this is a really nice outcome. Love it! And again I learned from you.
I'm so glad you pushed through. I always like what you create. thanks
Thank you for your sharing your vulnerability. You showed beauty!
I have had a terribly dry spell with painting lately. Watching your doodling inspired me.....
given the promise of gold at the end, it was sure to be wonderful! Thank you....
J’adore!!! J’aime ton rire, j’aime ton choix de
couleurs. J’aime comment t’as changé la direction de to oeuvre! Tellement beau! xo
So proud of you too darling. It turned out just absolutely wonderful!!! 🌼🌼🌼
Good afternoon 👋😊 Ceecee 🌹 Thank You I am so glad to know that it's fine to walk away and come back later as I find myself doing that more often than not as I am new to watercolour art I love your little piece it will make a great card to send to someone stay safe and be careful 💌🌹🙏🖌️🎨✍️☺️👋 enjoy your week ahead too 👍
I wish I could write on my watercolor paintings like do. I like this watercolor because it makes me think of a journal.
Very enjoyable and interesting. Thank you for sharing your “desperation”, your thoughts and laughter. I love your artwork.
Beautiful as always, thank you for the inspiration as I was stuck with some of my paintings until I watched your video! Stay safe, 🌸💐🌸
Love this ceecee.....thank you for letting that creative mind of yours wonder...
You are very courageous and inspiring!👏👍😀
Love 💕 this!!!!
Beautiful! I love your transparency and honesty in creating this piece.
I love that you share your honest journey!! Thank you for coming on even when you are "not feeling it". You are so brave!! and a true artist. 💜
Gorgeous use of golds. Wow! 😍
I love, love, love this video. One of my favorites.
I loved watching you create this wonderful piece
This is one of a kind videos and piece of art.. I loved the talk as much I loved the creation ❤️
Well, it seems you have inspired me! I have been planning a painting as a gift for a friend’s wedding and had no Idea where to start. After this video I have a completed project in my brain! Now I just have to put it to paper! Thanks CeeCee.
Always enjoy watching you create!
Gorgeous. But then Gold makes everything better. TFS :)
Your honesty is inspiring
this was an awesome motivator i painted along with you and felt so inspired
Very interesting, I love the gold in your work especially as I’ve recently been told it’s unusual to have gold in abstract, which I think is odd!!❤️
Love this..well..everything you do is fantastic to be honest. Thanks for sharing and the motivation to get motivated ❤
There is something Tueneresque about this painting. I love it!
I saw this in IG last night, so I’m really happy to see your process of creating. I love this piece, Ceecee. I almost love most that it came from that place of not knowing. Thank you for your inspiration.
I laugh when I try to replicate your painting... I never have exact shade and I cant exactly do as well the shapes you do and my paintings still comes out nice( atleast to me, lol )even if they arent like yours and even tho I'm following along with you...lol😬😂 but to me I'm having fun and it calms me and I'm smiling and that's what matters to me, I just find inspiration quotes on internet and add them to the painting ..I figure someone whose having a bad day will get a smile in mail to uplift them that day like you've uplifted my day....mikelle by mom🎨👩🎨
You are a delight! Thank you so much for sharing.
I feel the same.
Although you felt you had no direction on this piece, you stuck through it and created a fine work of art!
Amazing, love it! Xx
Thank you for another wonderful video. You always inspire me!
“I will probably use gold on this one” 😂. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts on lack of creative inspiration Cece. It turned out great!
Watching you paint/draw is so calming, CeeCee. This is a beautiful piece!
You’re pronunciation of our beloved Michelangelo is perfect, as it is your art🧡🧡.
Oh thank you! i'm glad i did the master's name justice!
@@creationsceecee 💙
It’s totally beautiful CeCe!!
This was so so so so nice and beautyfull. Thank you so much.
You definitely have me thinking. Thankyou
I'm having a serious lack of inspiration lately and watching your videos help a lot! P.S. I ordered the "tray" and I'm going to use it tomorrow. Thanks 🙏
Beautiful ❤️
Love your work and process💝
