Worthy of a gallery showing.
oh my.... thank you for that lovely comment, Ann.
This is a GREAT video! You have shown how to not give up on a painting and to experiment with it instead. Your process is so inspiring. Every time I watch you I learn something new. You are so honest and open. This piece came out great!
This is so beautiful! Loved watching the process too.
So good - love to see something in the paint and add to it. Great.
This feels like the most awesome experimental watercolor I’ve ever seen. I love how you layered the paint, used negative space and mixed use of opaque and translucent colors. This was a very exciting process. I’m very inspired. Thank you, CeeCee!
thank you so much, Katie! have a wonderful and creative week!
Cool. She looks like she has big rollers in her hair. That was fun.
Oh my, pure joy and magnificence, she needs to go in a frame on the wall, she is so awesome. Tfs xo
I really like this style of video (real time, no voice over). It really captures the experience and is so much more instructional this way (IMO):). Beautiful painting btw. Thank you!
Oh my freaking goodness!! I saw the profile right away, but when YOU saw it I was yelling "YEA!!" I just love watching your creative process.
haha, i heard you!!! LOL thanks, Linda.
You are such an inspiration...your work inspires me.
I love watching your videos CeeCee, I adore water colour and you just inspire me to play. We hear so much these days about intuitive painting and to be honest that turns me off, I’m not very intuitive obviously, but this is exactly what you have just done, and I LOVE it!!!! Thank you for the inspiration and the daily morning ritual I now follow, watching you create. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
thank you, Kim, for this sweet comment. honestly, painting intuitively is something that prefer. when i start with a very precise plan, i sometimes set myself up for a lot of frustrations. so unless i'm doing something for someone or a specific goal in mind, most of my work start very intuitively.
Loved how you saw the profile and made it into something really different and pretty
Absolutely beautiful
She emerged so eloquently...love the colors!!
I did see the profile immediately and was happy you did see it also and played on it. Lovely
I love this ! I love being able to “see” things in an abstract and bring them out!
I didn't even read the title of this video, (mainly because I pull it up in full view instead of the condensed view), but when you were adding those pinks at the bottom right, I spotted that profile right off the bat! You totally fascinate me when you do this whole thing of going from nothing without a plan and you come up with something that is as amazing as this!! Wonderful! Love this!! Thanks so much for sharing this lovely piece!!
thank you so much, Kat! yes, i always get a kick when an intuitive painting turns into an intentional one. doesn't always happen quickly and that's ok too. some pieces are destined to remain abstract.
Love this process. I am so impatient that I would forget to look for something like a profile! This turned out so lovely. I could just imagine her in a ball gown that had roses riding over one shoulder. Thanks CeeCee for sharing.
thank you so much, fran!
Hoping, you become more patient after 5 years of Covid/Ukraine war hеll. We literally had a couple of years of fuсking the dоg 😂 Plenty of time to do art, as slow as you wish ❤
Love all of your work
Love this. But, I kept telling you to put one more flower in over that dog ear. But I really enjoyed that. I saw the face before you did...lol.
Wow!
I have not been able to watch videos for such a long time...and I have missed so much of what you have been up to. What a day to pop in!!! Wow! Always in awe of you. ❤️
thank you so much, Heather! i hope things are well at your end. big hugs.
Brilliant.... loved the outcome but also the fun process of getting there! Thank you!
Very inspirational! Your hand is very light and methodical. Thank you, CeeCee!
My Prof. tell me to play and have fun with it, you do that marvelously!
Yes! i like your professor very much. you don't hear that too often these days.
Even though I have enjoyed every one of your vids, I don't often comment. To be honest, I don't really care for this finished piece. Not as an insult....just honest opinion. However, I do learn something from every vid. This vid was an intense learning experience with a variety of techniques.👍 When you pulled out the profile.....well...I just saw that as genius! I enjoy how you come to the camera without a specific plan of where the paint, water and canvas will lead.....and you listen as it speaks to you. THAT is the sign of a true artist!
Thank you for sharing these events with us. I am inspired with every visit. Not to copy but to listen to where MY paints, water, brush and canvas may lead me.🎨👍🖍😁
Beautiful! ❤
This was one of my favorite art videos to watch ever! The way that you just kept rolling with things really inspired me as an artist!
Sometimes, it's just so thrilling to watch you paint I neglect to pick up my own paintbrush! Thank you
oh nooo, stop watching and pick up the brush! LOL
You bring sooo much joy! Thank you CeeCee ❤️💕
Love this. Exciting to watch.
So fun and beautiful! Today I will play too! 👍👌👏🏻
I get so fascinated every time I watch you create CeeCee! What an amazing painting!! Love it! Great colors! Really appreciate when you let us watch your process and how you talk us through it!! Thank you!! :) Artsy hugs!
thank you, Mona! although sometimes the talking interferes with the thinking process a bit, i'm glad to be able to do that and help out. have a wonderful and creative day, Mona!
Fantastic! Love your way to paint! Thanks
I freaking love this, soooo amazingly beautiful.
So cool 👍 I always “see” things in random patterns out and about (lol) like floor tiles or like ceiling panels but I struggle with coming up with inspiration to paint. This is such a good idea and totally makes me want to try this method out. Love it ❗️
I enjoyed this so much, Cee Cee! I am finding ways to make something pretty with Shell Pink. It is really nice to work with and really can add texture contrast. In MM=not a bad thing at all. Thank you again for always saying the colors!
I love this portrait !
Love the colour combinations. I’m binge watching you. Happy Victoria Day CeeCee x
LOL happy belated Victoria Day to you as well.
I love your work and have been going back and watching old videos. I just found this one. I really like it. I am so glad you dealt with the large oval on her face. It was bothering me to and I was wanting to ask you how you would adjust it, and then you did. Nice. You have inspired me to do watercolor, I have always loved doodling and the combination is the best of both worlds. Thanks
I just had my first class in negative painting and didn’t really understand it. I do now! This is amazing!
Awesome! thanks.
I had to laugh because I kept thinking while watching this "what is she going to do with that floppy dog ear?" Then BAM... Magic! Thank you for being an inspiration!
Could have made that "thing" a feather. Like the colors.
I like when you added the dots from her mouth. It looked more to me like she's looking at the stars at night in the distance.
Very lovely...i love your teachings...thank you
Ah, the ol vase-vs-face conundrum! I saw a hand initially minus a thumb.😳 the bumps were the knuckles and the forehead was the index finger. But when you added the blue, the face became clearer. Art is in the eye of the beholder, right? And the shell pink and rose madder are fantastic together. What would be comparable to the rose pink in Daniel Smith or Windsor Newton?
you know, i saw the hand minus the thumb when i was editing (because my footage is filmed upside down)!!! wow, never thought someone would pick up on that. i didn't see it when i was painting. i'm confused as to which paint you're asking: I'm guessing it's about the shell pink -- i honestly have not found an equivalent in the Daniel Smith line (and i have their dots cards). Holbein has a shell pink but it's a bit cooler than the one i use which is Shinhan. and Daniel Smith has a Rose Madder Permanent which resembles the one i used which is a Winsor and Newton.
Fabulous !!!
I saw the face right away and was hoping you would do something with it and you did! I tried with the same colours but couldn’t see anything. 🧐That is the hardest part for me!
thank you, Betty. unfortunately, this type of work (intuitive as opposed to intentional) yields different results from one painting to another... especially from one person to another. because nobody has the same manner of painting. so if you don't see anything right away, maybe the piece is telling you that it needs to remain an abstract and just go with that! i got lucky and happen to see the face at which point my painting became an intentional one. but it's not something you can push. it just happens... and sometimes it doesn't. and that's fine too.
Amazing!!!!!
I'm only 4 mins in to the video and already I'm in awe of the watercolour magic you're creating! What kind of water do you use with your paints, plain tap water? distilled water? fancy bottled water like Evian or Fiji? I've been thinking of trying distilled water because I know there's lots of minerals in my tap water.
thank you so much, Rian. i usually use tap water unless i'm making something for my Patrons or a commission. then i just grab from the filtered water from my refrigerator water dispenser. no Evian or Fiji for my budget LOL
Ceesee I have been watching your videos for a couple of months now. I was thinking of something like this for a painting of my mother during her years of dementia. Sorry if this is morbid. I see lots of things that come would come out of her head. I am returning to watercolor after 20 years.
i totally get it! good for you for picking up watercolor again.
There was a cocker spaniel at one point!
I think I saw headphones there for a bit 😎
Love it~~~
🌹 Thanks for this great content! 💘 😍 🌹
It looks like she wearing am old fashion hat, pretty cool
❤️
I saw john lennon
Me encanta tu trabajo, si tuvieran subtítulos en español sería genial.
No, we speak English. Learn it! 🙄
You are able to remove thecolour after it is dry? I thought they were permanent when dry?
watercolor paints is NOT a permanent medium. it can always be reactivated with water, no matter how long ago it was painted.
creationsceecee thank you for your reply...sorry i didn’t ask that question properly. I have been acquiring Daniel Smith brand and love, but I thought for some strange reason that some colours are rated to be permanent (unliftable) once dry and some colours are not, depending on the source. Oh....maybe i am getting confused with lightfastness? If so sorry to ramble, and much thanks.
I see a face !
Haha first I saw a lady with boobies..then an upside down torso with flowers across .so funny...love to watch what it changes to 💞💞❤️
