thank you for your video it made a lot of sense. I am 70 and found during Covid lockdown I turned to my art to help me relax and cope with the many stresses in life. I bought good quality pencils and began doing portraits but only for myself not to sell. Since I went back to work I decided I needed to carry on with my art and it was important to make the time to do it. So I cut my hours at work and now only do two days instead of three. My artwork was important and as long as I can live on what I have coming in then that’s what I’d do. Who knows how long we have left to live and enjoying that time is very important.
This is my first time watching you…I feel as if people or things enter your life when you are most receptive to them, if you pay attention. I’m discovering my artistic side after years of suppressing it, actually as an adult. I’m 63. I have no training in art, but have seen some wonderful mentors on RUclips. Unlike many, Covid-19 has allowed me to explore the depth of me and bring out my desire to create. I’ve found a new energy and for the first time in more years than I can count, I don’t feel burdened by my depression and anxiety as much. I listened and watched your video and understand how burdened our life can be if we don’t take the time to do what relaxes and makes us happy and at peace with ourselves.
And I’m 68, no formal training. But I could watch you for hours! Thank you for forcing me to get back into art, my first love. I know Covid has kept me indoors and I’ll be asking “Santa” for some supplies! Thanks so much for your infectious laugh as well 🤣
I have been certified in Zentangle, which is much like your doodles. But like anything, your art skills get to a point where you need more and you have given me that! I have a yard full of flowers and if I squint, I can see abstracts to paint.
@@janefranco8856 I'm 68 and a fairly recent 'fan' of CeeCee. As a very young child I'd wake up before everyone else and before school to draw and paint...took art courses for years...then had to focus on earning a living...am just now returning to my first love in earnest. It's good to have a feeling of community with others who love to create, to paint and draw. Namaste.
You are certainly an inspiration CeeCee..in more ways than art. At art you are a master. I think thats one of the best fantasy pics I've seen for a while. I also pictured you maybe doing hills with a winding line of olive trees or (and) topiary bushes..mabe different shapes eg square, triangle etc or animals..maybe elephants joined together (saw that in someones garden in Tasmania Aust. once. Anyway thanks and well done for coming back to us. Happy days💜💜💜💜
I love your honesty. I’m almost 60 and a full time nurse. What I really would love is more free time to do art! With Covid and the need to still earn a weekly paycheck, not always able to do that. I dream about my studio while at work, but I’m not even that good,lol. Your voice and story telling is so soothing for me and appreciate your thoughts. You’ve again inspired me how important the art is to my mental health ….no matter how good at it I may be. I often wonder Is there a reason my soul craves it? Maybe this is Gods gift to soothe my soul. Thank you again.I love your work.
yes, this is a gift that was given to you to soothe your soul just like your caring hands soothes those in need of your assistance as a nurse. we thank YOU.
Dear Nurse...firstly I salute you🙏. You could use very easy and your favourite medium like watercolour/Gouache/ pastel pencils/ watercolour pencils/ everyday just 15 minutes.if you do that after your day job before sleep everyday...it becomes a habit and very very relaxing. I use pastel pencils...just open my stabilo carbathello pencil box and pastelmat paper ...just start...do 15 minutes after my hectic day. It's very relaxing.keep everything ready just open and set in less than a minute to do art. Keep Pinterest in your tablet for reference photo. You could use Jason Morgan you tube for pastels.he is the best. I identify with you as I'm in a medical field too with long days and night shifts.
Dear J, RN: I feel you! ...years ( 36!) of nursing and always the longing to attend my creative side. Now 63 and blessed to have the materials and space and time because i quit my job, the joy is so deep. I'm leaping into faith about finances. Wild trust. Slowing down is calling too sweetly to resist. I can assure you that even while working FT, the moments--- hard-won and intermittent---- dedicated to painting sustained me long enough to get me through the rough periods of burn-out and doubt and yearning. Yes, your health ( all realms) is whispering for care and nurturance. As suggested here, just a few supplies and a 15 minute retreat each day and you'll be fed. Dear J, I wish you creative joy!
It doesn't matter how good you are. Just pick up a pen/brush and play ....its just a piece of paper it doesn't have to be perfect. (I should listen to my own advice BTW !!! 😂) Thank you for all the work you do. Please look after yourself- doodle/draw/paint.....have fun - you deserve it. X PS just thought you could take a little notebook to work and doodle in your teabreak - check out Ceecees doodle videos they are brilliant)
I do agree with you and thank you for the necessary work you do, however creativity is SO important to creative minds. When life gets to be to busy for art I get out of sorts and scattered so I try to leave a small amount of supplies out in view so it will call to me…if I only have time to make a bookmark or greeting card…or part of one, it’s satisfying that need!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Without belaboring it, I’m in the same boat with you: worked 44 years non-stop; turned 63 this year; the last 12 months at a job I’d had for 6 years turned terrible with new “leadership,” and it was our torture. My b.p. went up to 175/98, I had two eye surgeries and a cancer surgery in 6 weeks (all fine now). I couldn’t draw for two months-only paint beautiful blobs in prep for when I could see detail well again. It all came to a head in July, and I did a “rage quit” in the middle of a Zoom call with my 2 bosses. Just said, “I QUIT!!” and left the call. In the last few weeks I’ve drawn, painted at the zoo twice, joined an urban sketchers chapter in Cincinnati, and rested. Yes, money is a stressor, but I’m re-examining how I’m going to make that money and how much I really need-which is very freeing. So, thank you, again, CeeCee. You are on the right track now at the right speed.
you are a brrave woman, Nancy. congratulations on regaining control of your well-being. it's amazing how resourceful we become once we decide to take charge. wishing you health and joyful creativity! 😊
Thankyou sooooo much for your video.I enjoyed your beautiful relaxing way of teaching....I so need to find my peace in a situation which is beyond me at the moment...your videos are a lovely break and I totally love your art work..I look forward ver ymuch to see more..Please look after yourself and take care of your needs first...much love Angie Australia....
Hang in there! Rest, don’t rush, paint or draw when you can, and keep on even if you’re not thrilled with what you create. It’s the process that will take you away from worry, and help you get clarity.
I absolutely love this process - letting the picture find itself. I love how you become the facilitator, letting the process flow through you. Lovely to watch. Thank you x
The process reminds me of looking up at the clouds and finding shapes - something we all did as kids. The outcome is beautiful but more important, the process itself is soothing. Art as a healer - a win-win.
That's exactly my thoughts. Looking at the clouds and finding shapes...even in walls, floors, tree trunks....anywhere we look, we can find shapes, faces. This video made me do the same thing with blobs of watercolor. I did one, and it was so much fun!
I identify with this video so much. ❤ I turned 62 this year, and I also find that art, nature, photography…especially photographing the stars…are my muse. After raising 5 children, I am having to learn how to make the time for the peaceful moments that come with doing what I love. And it is okay to make the time for those moments. Especially now that my children are all adults. Beautiful piece! Blessings to you. ✨
totally relate to ‘art helped me slow down’ . I too was too restless and anxious to even sit down and do something that I love so much until I started…
I am so blessed that this video came in my feed. Your commentary really resonated with me. And your Art piece...Its hard to find words....it's like a small view of a peaceful village that calls my soul to rest. To see it develope is truly amazing!!! It is all within those tones, colors, shapes and textured shadows that give such personality and peace to this wonderful work of art.
I love all kinds of art. For whatever reason I decided to pick up watercolour about three years ago. It’s much harder than I anticipated,but I’m determined to keep at it . I discovered you right off the hop. I am always drawn to your style. You give me the courage and reason to carry on with my art work, no matter how defeating art or life can get. You’re a blessing to me, and sitting down to doodle with Ceecee takes me away , like a Calgon moment every time ! LOL. Seriously , you’re like the best counsel or medicine I could ask for. You inspire me so much. I’ve recently retired from a 44 year profession and will probably need to supplement my income eventually, I’ve set up a studio for myself and am determined to do this. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment and skill you have passed along. It’s invaluable.❤️
I love this whimsical "other world" .... all the edges are soft, rounded. And the colours and shading are wonderfully unexpected. Thank you. PS: it only gets better, this "living" we do. I am 70 now and wish I had more years than I anticipate. But all in all, these are the best creatively and I hope you are finding it that way for you.
Deanna-thanks for your comment about this “living” we do. I think it is a time when we learn to finally put ourselves first-ish, and do what we really want to do instead of what’s expected of us or what someone else thinks we should be doing. Be safe on the rest of your journey and paint on. 🥰
I love this new technique that you are exploring. I am 68 and the 60's have been the best decade of my life. . . so far. Slowing down, taking time to enjoy, living in the "now". All of those things.
I really love watching your videos CeeCee thank you. I seem to have lost my way and haven't put a pencil or paintbrush to paper for a while now but watching and listening to you work soothes my soul, seeing how you are working through your own difficult time is inspirational . Thank you thank you.
Really like what’s happening to your artwork! I’m sort of going thru the same thing… only I’m newer. I taught myself to watercolor last winter. Next thing I knew I had joined a watercolor Facebook group and the second I did it it didn’t feel good. Instead of creating being a peaceful meditative process I was suddenly getting slammed with challenges I had no interest in painting and that felt too hard for me. I told myself it’s good for me, that I will get better because of it. Instead what happened is I felt miserable every time I sat down, overwhelmed and full of anxiety. After several months some part of me had had enough and I walked away and haven’t touched anything since. I don’t think force is the right way. I noticed the last video you put out I began to feel inspired again… I love what you do with watercolor and colored pencil ♥️
i'm glad the videos are inspiring, Susan. Art should never feel uncomfortable. i think we all start at different places and we need to be gentle with ourselves. if it's too much pressure, ease up a bit and try a more simple approach. if one day you wake up and feel like filling up a page with circles or dots or lines... give yourself permission to do so and keep going. along the way, an idea will pop up and another art adventure will begin. wishing you many many hours of joyful creations!
We have so many expectations when we sit down in front of a sheet of paper. The expectations are what may be making you feel anxiety. Just throw some color around- play with the water & paint. Don’t expect anything great. Don’t worry about using the paper. Just do lines& circles. And let the color & moving paint take you away.
My birthday was 9/12. I haven't had time to watch your videos in awhile (nor do any artwork for that matter). And I just wandered in. I am so grateful the Universe had me watch this video today. "pure joy" . . . "slow down" Wow. I so needed this! I can relate on so many levels. Sending a virtual hug . . . .
Your videos have given me a way to find peace from 18 months ago! Wish you back all the very best and as always I LOVE your videos. Your voice is so calming and lovely! 💕thank you so much!
Whenever I see your finished product, it seems so easy to do. But how you come up with these ideas are the real gauge of a true artist. Hopefully I reach that level.
You have no idea just how much you have inspired me to return to painting CeeCee...these past 2 years and some even longer depending where you live in the world has been a tremendous struggle for many of us but looking forward to your phenomenal videos each week and learning and gaining wisdom from your words and your peace and your soul that you so genuinely share with all of us...has given me such a gift! I have been an Artist/Photographer for most of my life...I just turned 66 this past July and at least 50 of those 66 years I have spent with either a colored pencil...a brush...a pastel...or a camera in my hands! I studied Art in College several times in my life and always loved learning and improving my skills so that my creativity could take root in areas of where my passions would lead me...a few years ago I just did not know where all of this was leading me to...and I became truly stuck and just had no passion in me to create or to enjoy color like I always had for most of my life...that drive, that feeling...that voice in my head which spoke to me and directed me to pick up that pencil or brush...and to begin to create was just not there...and I became sadly depressed..and frustrated...and eventually became dangerously sick with the Virus who's name I dare not speak...I was vaccinated in Jan/Feb so getting this sick was not even in the cards as far as I was concerned!..After all I am an Artist an I had much more important things to be concerned about!..soooooo while almost leaving this planet and crossing over the Rainbow Bridge myself I thru the grace of God and the prayers of so many I gratefully began to recover and started watching all of your videos, became a Patreon, and finding my artistic center once again!!...you truly spoke to me CeeCee...and with your amazing spirit and sage wisdom I felt that spark reignite inside me and I cannot even tell you just how thankful I am for you to have been so instrumental in getting me back with a pencil...or a pen..or a pastel...or a brush...or my too expensive to tell anyone about camera in my creative hands again CeeCee!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for me and so many others!...you are an amazing Artist and a true Blessing to all of us! God bless...Rus from Pennsylvania!
thank you for sharing your story with us, Rus. you are strong and your creativity has served you will and will continue to do so for a long time. Art heals, i truly believe that. thank you so much for being an Awesome Patron! wishing you complete recovery and many joyful creative moments. 😊
During this pandemic, I always finish any problem with "NO PROBLEM" We need our time. Time is really the ONLY thing we have. Watercolor makes me relax, I forget about everything. Sometimes at 12 midnight I remember that I haven't have diner. Watercolor takes me to another dimension.
Thanks for sharing! Your experience, the art of slowing down! So Happy to find your channel!💖🎨✨ I love your style of art, & colours, so beautiful & fun & Peaceful & magical!✨ I want to jump into the painting, sit on top of the trees, just rest & day dream!✨ I`m getting back into my art and starting to write again & illustration for children books, 3D film. I`m want to learn more painting. techniques using watercolour & Acrylics & pencils , learning 3D animation. I look forward to seeing more art videos. have a lovely weekend! Sending love & light from Canada 🌞🌷🙏💖✨
I have to say, you are one of my favorite artists. I’m glad you are finding a happier place because your art rocks and I can’t get enough. I also under stand creative souls are deep as the oceans that need to be nurtured. Thank you for sharing it with me and all your fans. WE all want you to be happy and well!
I love what you have created! I want to dive right into the serene creation. It is so soft in color with no jagged edges which is what makes it so peaceful! I love the slow creative technique you use. Thank you for sharing!
Good evening 👋😊 Ceecee 🌹 so glad to hear that you are doing well thank you for sharing this video and I love it it looks like it should be in a child's book by Dr. Seuss as the trees remind me of "The Lorax" stay safe and be careful too 🙏✍️🖌️🎨💌🌹👋☺️ enjoy your next 2 weeks too 😊🦄
How exciting. To witness the birth of something new. Your journey is an example to your viewers of self acceptance and true expression. Thank you for your honesty and courage.
Dear One!, I am so amazed ... you have made my dream come true .... for you :) ... I am also 62, I just stopped being a medical doctor ... it was not according to my heart's voice any more ... and I am so much in love with art ... not knowing anything but creating a lot of things, with extreme joy ... Recently I do breathing groups for natural healing and some mental healing conversations for living ... my soul and heart is out for art so much ... Your expression is excitingly peaceful and harmonious ... I just enjoy your videos very much ... thank you
The magic happened to me when you suddenly made that cute tiny little house appear out of nowhere.... Your pencil is like a magic wand... I really love this style you do now, and it would accompany storybooks so well.
Thanks for sharing this charming little picture! As someone else said, I’d like to live in that little house! Your calming soothing voice rubs off on me and makes me feel serene💜
Very lovely and honest. As a new artist it is encouraging to know it is ok to take lots of time and let the art decide how it wants to be. Thank you as always for sharing and adding to the creative flow of the world. Be Blessed.
You are an inspiration. Amazing what this started as…as you describe ‘blobs of paint’, and now I feel as if I am in the English countryside. good for you….pausing for a time in your life to look deeper into your soul. Just know that your words and art have made a positive difference in my 63 year long life. Love from Colorado!
Beautiful CeeCee! I don't know what you've gone through to bring you to this point but it's truly lovely. I know that during one of the absolute darkest moments of my life, I had to did down deep - deep within myself, to find a place of peace. In that place, I rediscovered my love of watercolours and painting with my grandmother and it truly and honestly saved me. I'm not sure I would have made it without art. Hearing myself say that sounds so corny but I was going through something so horrific, I don't know how else I would have survived. Either way, I've never stopped, never looked back. You sound happy and at peace - I hope you've found your place too. xx
Oh my such a wonderful little world you've made. I want to live in this art piece. So peaceful and whimsical. Thank you for sharing your art and process, physical and mentally. You are so inspiring to me. Stay safe and healthy. Looking forward to seeing what is next. ❤
I always find joy in watching your videos. I particularly liked this one, seeing how the whole image appeared from the initial blend of colour. You have a young voice. I was gobsmacked when you said your age. I wish you happiness and that every day is kind to you and yours. Looking forward to seeing your future videos. Take care🙏🙂
Cee Cee you go girl!!! Happy belated birthday and how fitting that you are birthing a new you rising from all that you have always been! This was an enchanting scene. Loved the little touches of white at the very end. Will white be your new gold? (Chuckle!)💖
Cee Cee; Your work is like medicine or music or nature walks, just nourishing in essence, no translation needed by the mind. Thank you especially for your leap into trust in this past period. Your doing so confers faith and sustenance for all who view your work and even quietly out to the far corners of the universe. Courage observed begets courage, so thank you. Truth is, the last place we think to look is where everything we desire is found: right here, inside, as you are radiating so sweetly. As well as the inner lessons, i have learned technique and theory beautifully here. A boon for the self-taught! Your generosity shines bright! THE LIGHT SOURCE in all your work is....you!
I believe we all need to slow down. I really enjoyed watching your creation come into being. It also gave me a sense of calm and inner peace, so thank you for that. Also Happy Birthday 🎈🎂🎁 🥂🍾 I hope you were able to indulge in all your guilty pleasures👍🏻
Your painting is so beautiful! I love it. I hope to try making one like it. Thank you for sharing your gift and love of art with us.I appreciate all that you do to create these videos for the world to enjoy. Bless you. You make our world a better place.
Happy Birthday Cee Cee 🎉🎂 Quietly here in the background, during my most difficult times, you have been a light, and inspiration. I'm grateful for you 🤗🙏💞
I've really enjoyed your videos in the past but this one moved me so much it got me off the couch and create. This art form combines techniques that I love to do in such a perfect way. I'm so excited you'll be sharing more of this and am definitely checking your Patreon to see more of this. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love this. Sometimes we just have to slow down with all of our supplies and put something to paper. Thank you for your wonderful creations. This is something that I will try. Thanks for the inspiration.
Bravo to you and your courage to listen to the positive voices and shun the negative meanies. You are very instrumental in helping me to follow my heart in the arts. Thank you. You're on the right track and is shows in your work.
CeeCee I am going through a horrible family situation just now and I cannot tell you how much this video meant to me today. To take 20 minutes out of the day and sit quietly watching you create yet another masterpiece was the best "gift" I could have received today. I am absolutely in awe of the paintings you create, and somewhat determined to try and master some of your techniques in the weeks, months and years ahead. I am so pleased that you are feeling better and more confident .... stay strong and stay safe ... much love
I really love how you turned all these different watercolor " blobs" into interesting landscapes and the techniques in doing it. You have given me inspiration to take some of my art to the next level.

Happy belated birthday Cee Cee ❤️ you’re an inspiration! I’m so happy to hear you doing so well and of course this is another beautiful creation 🥰
I love what you are doing with your art! Being 62 is awesome!

CEE CEE!!! I absolutely love your new style. Or..the expansion of your style actually. I am completely captivated!!!!
Purple and green are my favorite! I always love the whimsy I see in your work. You truly inspire me so much as an artist 😁
You are certainly an inspiration CeeCee..in more ways than art. At art you are a master. I think thats one of the best fantasy pics I've seen for a while.

Dear J, RN:
I feel you! ...years ( 36!) of nursing and always the longing to attend my creative side. Now 63 and blessed to have the materials and space and time because i quit my job, the joy is so deep.
I'm leaping into faith about finances. Wild trust. Slowing down is calling too sweetly to resist. I can assure you that even while working FT, the moments--- hard-won and intermittent---- dedicated to painting sustained me long enough to get me through the rough periods of burn-out and doubt and yearning. Yes, your health ( all realms) is whispering for care and nurturance. As suggested here, just a few supplies and a 15 minute retreat each day and you'll be fed. Dear J,
I wish you creative joy!
It doesn't matter how good you are. Just pick up a pen/brush and play ....its just a piece of paper it doesn't have to be perfect.
(I should listen to my own advice BTW !!! 😂)
Thank you for all the work you do. Please look after yourself- doodle/draw/paint.....have fun - you deserve it. X
PS just thought you could take a little notebook to work and doodle in your teabreak - check out Ceecees doodle videos they are brilliant)
I do agree with you and thank you for the necessary work you do, however creativity is SO important to creative minds. When life gets to be to busy for art I get out of sorts and scattered so I try to leave a small amount of supplies out in view so it will call to me…if I only have time to make a bookmark or greeting card…or part of one, it’s satisfying that need!
Que j’aime ce style…. Je ne sais comment le définir…. Vraiment, toute ma gratitude pour ce précieux cadeau.
merci beaucoup, Sylvie! ça me fait penser: j'espère bientôt pouvoir mettre les sous-titres en français également.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Without belaboring it, I’m in the same boat with you: worked 44 years non-stop; turned 63 this year; the last 12 months at a job I’d had for 6 years turned terrible with new “leadership,” and it was our torture. My b.p. went up to 175/98, I had two eye surgeries and a cancer surgery in 6 weeks (all fine now). I couldn’t draw for two months-only paint beautiful blobs in prep for when I could see detail well again. It all came to a head in July, and I did a “rage quit” in the middle of a Zoom call with my 2 bosses. Just said, “I QUIT!!” and left the call. In the last few weeks I’ve drawn, painted at the zoo twice, joined an urban sketchers chapter in Cincinnati, and rested. Yes, money is a stressor, but I’m re-examining how I’m going to make that money and how much I really need-which is very freeing. So, thank you, again, CeeCee. You are on the right track now at the right speed.
you are a brrave woman, Nancy. congratulations on regaining control of your well-being. it's amazing how resourceful we become once we decide to take charge. wishing you health and joyful creativity! 😊
Thankyou sooooo much for your video.I enjoyed your beautiful relaxing way of teaching....I so need to find my peace in a situation which is beyond me at the moment...your videos are a lovely break and I totally love your art work..I look forward ver ymuch to see more..Please look after yourself and take care of your needs first...much love Angie Australia....
Hang in there! Rest, don’t rush, paint or draw when you can, and keep on even if you’re not thrilled with what you create. It’s the process that will take you away from worry, and help you get clarity.
well said, Nancy! i love that my viewers interact with each other. big hugs to the both of you! 😊
Totally beautiful thank you. I am off to get my paints out. So pleased you are feeling ok lots of 🇬🇧 love ❤️
This is above and beyond. Slowing down is obviously working.
I absolutely love this process - letting the picture find itself. I love how you become the facilitator, letting the process flow through you. Lovely to watch. Thank you x
le résultat est magnifique, merci du partage
That is why I paint and draw, peace, I like to sketch because it is simple and easy
The process reminds me of looking up at the clouds and finding shapes - something we all did as kids. The outcome is beautiful but more important, the process itself is soothing. Art as a healer - a win-win.
That's exactly my thoughts. Looking at the clouds and finding shapes...even in walls, floors, tree trunks....anywhere we look, we can find shapes, faces. This video made me do the same thing with blobs of watercolor. I did one, and it was so much fun!
Whimsical,ethereal,peaceful...thank you for sharing your journey and inspiration.
I identify with this video so much. ❤ I turned 62 this year, and I also find that art, nature, photography…especially photographing the stars…are my muse. After raising 5 children, I am having to learn how to make the time for the peaceful moments that come with doing what I love. And it is okay to make the time for those moments. Especially now that my children are all adults. Beautiful piece! Blessings to you. ✨
You create such magic. Slow and steady wins the race. 🖌🖌🖌
totally relate to ‘art helped me slow down’ . I too was too restless and anxious to even sit down and do something that I love so much until I started…
I am so blessed that this video came in my feed. Your commentary really resonated with me. And your Art piece...Its hard to find words....it's like a small view of a peaceful village that calls my soul to rest. To see it develope is truly amazing!!! It is all within those tones, colors, shapes and textured shadows that give such personality and peace to this wonderful work of art.
I love all kinds of art. For whatever reason I decided to pick up watercolour about three years ago. It’s much harder than I anticipated,but I’m determined to keep at it . I discovered you right off the hop. I am always drawn to your style. You give me the courage and reason to carry on with my art work, no matter how defeating art or life can get. You’re a blessing to me, and sitting down to doodle with Ceecee takes me away , like a Calgon moment every time ! LOL. Seriously , you’re like the best counsel or medicine I could ask for. You inspire me so much. I’ve recently retired from a 44 year profession and will probably need to supplement my income eventually, I’ve set up a studio for myself and am determined to do this. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment and skill you have passed along. It’s invaluable.❤️
I love this whimsical "other world" .... all the edges are soft, rounded. And the colours and shading are wonderfully unexpected. Thank you. PS: it only gets better, this "living" we do. I am 70 now and wish I had more years than I anticipate. But all in all, these are the best creatively and I hope you are finding it that way for you.
Deanna-thanks for your comment about this “living” we do. I think it is a time when we learn to finally put ourselves first-ish, and do what we really want to do instead of what’s expected of us or what someone else thinks we should be doing. Be safe on the rest of your journey and paint on. 🥰
well said, Deanna, and well reiterated, Nancy! wishing you both many many joyful creative moments to come! 😊 🎨
You are amazing! Beautiful art, calming voice.... thanks for sharing!
I love this new technique that you are exploring. I am 68 and the 60's have been the best decade of my life. . . so far. Slowing down, taking time to enjoy, living in the "now". All of those things.
I really love watching your videos CeeCee thank you. I seem to have lost my way and haven't put a pencil or paintbrush to paper for a while now but watching and listening to you work soothes my soul, seeing how you are working through your own difficult time is inspirational . Thank you thank you.
Great sharing my friend,beautiful😊❤️....
CeeCee, this is absolutely beautiful. I loved watching you create this piece. 💜
Thanks a lot. Très inspirant, merveilleux !
What a remarkable process and beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing along with your melodic narrative.
Really like what’s happening to your artwork! I’m sort of going thru the same thing… only I’m newer. I taught myself to watercolor last winter. Next thing I knew I had joined a watercolor Facebook group and the second I did it it didn’t feel good. Instead of creating being a peaceful meditative process I was suddenly getting slammed with challenges I had no interest in painting and that felt too hard for me. I told myself it’s good for me, that I will get better because of it. Instead what happened is I felt miserable every time I sat down, overwhelmed and full of anxiety. After several months some part of me had had enough and I walked away and haven’t touched anything since. I don’t think force is the right way. I noticed the last video you put out I began to feel inspired again… I love what you do with watercolor and colored pencil ♥️
i'm glad the videos are inspiring, Susan. Art should never feel uncomfortable. i think we all start at different places and we need to be gentle with ourselves. if it's too much pressure, ease up a bit and try a more simple approach. if one day you wake up and feel like filling up a page with circles or dots or lines... give yourself permission to do so and keep going. along the way, an idea will pop up and another art adventure will begin. wishing you many many hours of joyful creations!
We have so many expectations when we sit down in front of a sheet of paper. The expectations are what may be making you feel anxiety. Just throw some color around- play with the water & paint. Don’t expect anything great. Don’t worry about using the paper. Just do lines& circles. And let the color & moving paint take you away.
My birthday was 9/12. I haven't had time to watch your videos in awhile (nor do any artwork for that matter). And I just wandered in. I am so grateful the Universe had me watch this video today. "pure joy" . . . "slow down" Wow. I so needed this! I can relate on so many levels. Sending a virtual hug . . . .
Your videos have given me a way to find peace from 18 months ago! Wish you back all the very best and as always I LOVE your videos. Your voice is so calming and lovely! 💕thank you so much!
Whenever I see your finished product, it seems so easy to do. But how you come up with these ideas are the real gauge of a true artist. Hopefully I reach that level.
You have no idea just how much you have inspired me to return to painting CeeCee...these past 2 years and some even longer depending where you live in the world has been a tremendous struggle for many of us but looking forward to your phenomenal videos each week and learning and gaining wisdom from your words and your peace and your soul that you so genuinely share with all of us...has given me such a gift! I have been an Artist/Photographer for most of my life...I just turned 66 this past July and at least 50 of those 66 years I have spent with either a colored pencil...a brush...a pastel...or a camera in my hands! I studied Art in College several times in my life and always loved learning and improving my skills so that my creativity could take root in areas of where my passions would lead me...a few years ago I just did not know where all of this was leading me to...and I became truly stuck and just had no passion in me to create or to enjoy color like I always had for most of my life...that drive, that feeling...that voice in my head which spoke to me and directed me to pick up that pencil or brush...and to begin to create was just not there...and I became sadly depressed..and frustrated...and eventually became dangerously sick with the Virus who's name I dare not speak...I was vaccinated in Jan/Feb so getting this sick was not even in the cards as far as I was concerned!..After all I am an Artist an I had much more important things to be concerned about!..soooooo while almost leaving this planet and crossing over the Rainbow Bridge myself I thru the grace of God and the prayers of so many I gratefully began to recover and started watching all of your videos, became a Patreon, and finding my artistic center once again!!...you truly spoke to me CeeCee...and with your amazing spirit and sage wisdom I felt that spark reignite inside me and I cannot even tell you just how thankful I am for you to have been so instrumental in getting me back with a pencil...or a pen..or a pastel...or a brush...or my too expensive to tell anyone about camera in my creative hands again CeeCee!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for me and so many others!...you are an amazing Artist and a true Blessing to all of us! God bless...Rus from Pennsylvania!
Hope you continue to rest and recover!
@@nancye7520 ...
Thank you so much Nancy!❤

@@creationsceecee .....Thank you and Bless you ❤
During this pandemic, I always finish any problem with "NO PROBLEM" We need our time. Time is really the ONLY thing we have. Watercolor makes me relax, I forget about everything. Sometimes at 12 midnight I remember that I haven't have diner. Watercolor takes me to another dimension.
You created a beautiful world out of blobs of colours. This is amazing 👏
this is so beautiful! It really breaths peace and quietness.
I am in awe of your creative vision! Thank you for sharing but more important, thank you for the inspiration!
I love this -and your story. You "see" so much in blobs of watercolor-I wish I had your eye. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing! Your experience, the art of slowing down!
So Happy to find your channel!💖🎨✨
I love your style of art, & colours, so beautiful & fun & Peaceful & magical!✨
I want to jump into the painting, sit on top of the trees, just rest & day dream!✨
I`m getting back into my art and starting to write again & illustration for children books, 3D film.
I`m want to learn more painting. techniques using watercolour & Acrylics & pencils , learning 3D animation.
I look forward to seeing more art videos.
have a lovely weekend!
Sending love & light from Canada 🌞🌷🙏💖✨
I have to say, you are one of my favorite artists. I’m glad you are finding a happier place because your art rocks and I can’t get enough. I also under stand creative souls are deep as the oceans that need to be nurtured. Thank you for sharing it with me and all your fans. WE all want you to be happy and well!
OMG!!! One of my absolute favorites of your paintings!!! I hope you do more of these!!! They are so beautiful!!! 👏👏👏😊
Very creative work and out of the box. It’s amazing 🤩
I love what you have created! I want to dive right into the serene creation. It is so soft in color with no jagged edges which is what makes it so peaceful! I love the slow creative technique you use. Thank you for sharing!
Amazing. Always an honor to watch you paint or draw. Thank you for sharing .🥰
This is fabulous I love it. You are so frigging talented
LOL! 💯
Good evening 👋😊 Ceecee 🌹 so glad to hear that you are doing well thank you for sharing this video and I love it it looks like it should be in a child's book by Dr. Seuss as the trees remind me of "The Lorax" stay safe and be careful too 🙏✍️🖌️🎨💌🌹👋☺️ enjoy your next 2 weeks too 😊🦄
I can relate. Drawing and painting takes me to that special place where peace lives.
That is so pretty. It looks so simple, but obviously isn’t. Thank you for sharing.
Love this and the better understanding of your life change. I relate to/empathize with that and am so glad to see the forward motion.
I so appreciate that you share bits about your life and some of your struggles and include us. And watching your technique is fascinating.💕
How exciting. To witness the birth of something new. Your journey is an example to your viewers of self acceptance and true expression. Thank you for your honesty and courage.
Dear One!, I am so amazed ... you have made my dream come true .... for you :) ...
I am also 62, I just stopped being a medical doctor ... it was not according to my heart's voice any more ... and I am so much in love with art ... not knowing anything but creating a lot of things, with extreme joy ...
Recently I do breathing groups for natural healing and some mental healing conversations for living ... my soul and heart is out for art so much ...
Your expression is excitingly peaceful and harmonious ... I just enjoy your videos very much ... thank you
So beautiful and it's good to hear you're doing much better 🌸🌸🌸
The magic happened to me when you suddenly made that cute tiny little house appear out of nowhere.... Your pencil is like a magic wand... I really love this style you do now, and it would accompany storybooks so well.
Thanks for sharing this charming little picture! As someone else said, I’d like to live in that little house! Your calming soothing voice rubs off on me and makes me feel serene💜
Creating such beauty is a long process...but it's so worth it ;)
The cutest ever thingy drawing EVER... I BET TINY PEOPLE LIVE IN THAT TEENYWEENY HOUSE. I LOVE IT..
LOL! 🥰
Very lovely and honest. As a new artist it is encouraging to know it is ok to take lots of time and let the art decide how it wants to be. Thank you as always for sharing and adding to the creative flow of the world. Be Blessed.
You are an inspiration. Amazing what this started as…as you describe ‘blobs of paint’, and now I feel as if I am in the English countryside. good for you….pausing for a time in your life to look deeper into your soul. Just know that your words and art have made a positive difference in my 63 year long life. Love from Colorado!
Beautiful CeeCee! I don't know what you've gone through to bring you to this point but it's truly lovely. I know that during one of the absolute darkest moments of my life, I had to did down deep - deep within myself, to find a place of peace. In that place, I rediscovered my love of watercolours and painting with my grandmother and it truly and honestly saved me. I'm not sure I would have made it without art. Hearing myself say that sounds so corny but I was going through something so horrific, I don't know how else I would have survived. Either way, I've never stopped, never looked back. You sound happy and at peace - I hope you've found your place too. xx
I've never seen such beautiful illustrated trees before, it's so bouncy and looking like clouds :) The color combinations are so good too.
This video is magnificent in so many ways. Beautiful work, beautiful thoughts, beautiful guidance. Thank you CeeCee. 🙏🏼
Absolutely mesmerising , so calming and serene
I think these landscapes are some of your best pieces so far!!!
Oh my such a wonderful little world you've made. I want to live in this art piece. So peaceful and whimsical.
Thank you for sharing your art and process, physical and mentally. You are so inspiring to me. Stay safe and healthy. Looking forward to seeing what is next. ❤
I love how you brought the watercolour to life with the coloured pencils.
Happy birthday, Ceecee! And a huge Yesssssss for this style of creating. I love it! Enjoy this process of change. I'm sending you a big warm hug.
I always find joy in watching your videos. I particularly liked this one, seeing how the whole image appeared from the initial blend of colour. You have a young voice. I was gobsmacked when you said your age. I wish you happiness and that every day is kind to you and yours. Looking forward to seeing your future videos. Take care🙏🙂
I absolutely love this painting and this style you've chosen. I'm glad it's making you happy ,too.
Cee Cee you go girl!!! Happy belated birthday and how fitting that you are birthing a new you rising from all that you have always been! This was an enchanting scene. Loved the little touches of white at the very end. Will white be your new gold? (Chuckle!)💖
haha, good catch about the absence of gold. white is also quite interesting but i don't think i can stay away from gold for a very long time 😉
What a beautiful piece of art you created there! I love the colours and that cute little house. ❤️
What a beautiful testimony 😍. 🙏
Cee Cee;
Your work is like medicine or music or nature walks, just nourishing in essence, no translation needed by the mind.
Thank you especially for your leap into trust in this past period. Your doing so confers faith and sustenance for all who view your work and even quietly out to the far corners of the universe. Courage observed begets courage, so thank you. Truth is, the last place we think to look is where everything we desire is found: right here, inside, as you are radiating so sweetly. As well as the inner lessons, i have learned technique and theory beautifully here. A boon for the self-taught! Your generosity shines bright!
THE LIGHT SOURCE in all your work is....you!
I believe we all need to slow down. I really enjoyed watching your creation come into being. It also gave me a sense of calm and inner peace, so thank you for that. Also Happy Birthday 🎈🎂🎁 🥂🍾 I hope you were able to indulge in all your guilty pleasures👍🏻
Your painting is so beautiful! I love it. I hope to try making one like it. Thank you for sharing your gift and love of art with us.I appreciate all that you do to create these videos for the world to enjoy. Bless you. You make our world a better place.
What a magical painting. Nice to hear things are coming together for you artistically.
Happy Birthday Cee Cee 🎉🎂 Quietly here in the background, during my most difficult times, you have been a light, and inspiration. I'm grateful for you 🤗🙏💞
Wow, wow, wow and WOW! So beautiful! Glad you are feeling better. Couldn't ask for more 🙏🏻💕
I've really enjoyed your videos in the past but this one moved me so much it got me off the couch and create. This art form combines techniques that I love to do in such a perfect way. I'm so excited you'll be sharing more of this and am definitely checking your Patreon to see more of this. Thank you so much for sharing.
CeeCee you are awesome, I am humbled by your honesty and talent, thank you for all that you share.
I agree with you this artist 😊
Couldn't sleep , so I got up and watched your video. So calming so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I love this. Sometimes we just have to slow down with all of our supplies and put something to paper. Thank you for your wonderful creations. This is something that I will try. Thanks for the inspiration.
This painting is beautiful! I’m glad you have taken the time you need to slow down and enjoy your art work!
This was so inspiring. No pressure calm and relaxed way to use art supplies. Love it
Love your technique and story! This world needs more slowing down.
Your videos are mindful, prayerful experiences to me.
Good that your feeling better. Great to have you back.
Bravo to you and your courage to listen to the positive voices and shun the negative meanies. You are very instrumental in helping me to follow my heart in the arts. Thank you. You're on the right track and is shows in your work.
CeeCee I am going through a horrible family situation just now and I cannot tell you how much this video meant to me today. To take 20 minutes out of the day and sit quietly watching you create yet another masterpiece was the best "gift" I could have received today. I am absolutely in awe of the paintings you create, and somewhat determined to try and master some of your techniques in the weeks, months and years ahead. I am so pleased that you are feeling better and more confident .... stay strong and stay safe ... much love
Absolutely love this! Can’t wait to try it! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing gift!
Me too I can’t wait to try this 😊
Oh this is wonderful. Spiritual, creative and pure joy. Thank you💖💖💖🙏🏼💖💖💖
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability! You are sharing more than art!!!!
I really love how you turned all these different watercolor " blobs" into interesting landscapes and the techniques in doing it. You have given me inspiration to take some of my art to the next level.
