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 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. 😘💖🤎

[lindafreda]

CeeCee there are so many tutorials on YOUTUBE, and yours inspire creativity the best. Love your joy of painting and discovery. 💖

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!

[sharonconway]

Your technique is amazing. I am a beginner and by just watching a handful of your video’s I am learning so much. After watching hours of other artists work, you strike a chord that makes me think I can do this you seem to be able to make so much sense of how to work and you make colour theory and mixing much less of a minefield and more achievable. I have a small pebble business in the UK and with world today I completely understand where you come from when you talk about evolving what you do to keep interest. Keep making videos I need your help. 💜

I am more of a realistic watercolour painter, not a doodler, but I still love and admire your work. You bring such joy to the medium and teach me to remember how to play. Which is so fun and therapeutic. Your voice is sooo.... calming. Thank you so much ❤️

[maureenkyle]

You’d think I would have learned by now that I need to get my other tasks done on Saturday. Once I watch your Sunday morning video, all I want to do is paint! ❤️

[kathyakadragonflysmiles]

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

[GM-ynnc]

WOW, words fail me. This is the most amazing color theory demo in watercolor ever. You inspire. Thank you.

[AC-cgbv]

Love, love, love this one. Beautiful in it's simplicity. Also love the Canadian/French lilt..very soothing . Thank you again 😊

[mumstheword]

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. 💛

[lindaking]

A great exercise to play with paints..endless possibilities with colours

[kaarinponsford]

Stunning. Such a ‘simple’ painting but wow, the skill. I was soothed watching and delighted with the result

[jonihorn]

CeeCee, I have been following you on YouTube for about 4 years. I must thank you for being so generous by continuing to post your videos. I get so excited when I see a new post from you as I know it will be educational, inspiring, beautiful, calming and fun.
You are a sweet person with a kind heart. Thank you so much!😊

[IridescentJen]

i'm only halfway through but had to mention how much i love that first blended color of red and green. it's wonderful! somehow both warm and cool, and still red *and* green at the same time. what a brilliant mix it created

[janicemoio]

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👍💖☕

[cathybrillhart]

I love color mixing, and what a fun way to do it. I must try this with 3 primaries that I like.

[beckyess]

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!

[LizatHome]

You are so very, very inspirational. I just love listening to you talk and your gentle and motivating presence warms my heart and gets my creative juices flowing.

[dianadevlin]

Such confident strokes! I'm like a tortoise 😆
