Very well explained. Especially your word chosen. Bravo… eloquent delivery of your intuitive process. ❤ loving this
I know that this video is four years old, but this made my day today! I'm breaking out some paints this weekend!
This is gorgeous and when I first saw it it looked like an atom explosion. I find intuitive painting is not something you can teach but suggest. Let go and let the paint and water make their magic! Thank you so much for sharing! Can’t wait till your next one.
So glad this video popped up on my feed. I’ve been trying your process and I love it!!❤
Simply beautiful.thankyou very inspiring.my brain doesn’t work with having a plan but seems to grow as I go along,I love coloure so I just begin and see where I end up....sometimes in a mess but sometimes with a big smile!! Thankyou for your tutorials and your beautiful works Angela in Australia.....stay well and happy....
Beautiful -- I love the contrast of the watercolors with the precision of the trunk and roots. The silver takes it to another level! Very inspiring -- I love your explanation of your intuitive process. Thank you!
The description of your process and the intuitive painting outline was so helpful to me. This is the style of work I love. I really enjoy encouraging the paint to do it's thing with the water.
Thanks for the intuitive painting explanation. I’ve been thinking of taking your intuitive painting online class so this helps a lot in my decision. It can be frightening to even put any color on paper because I don’t have a plan. You make it look so easy.and everything turns out so beautiful when you do it.
Such a calming process that led to a beautiful outcome. I so enjoy watching you create. Thank you.
Love this tutorial!
I enjoyed watching this develop and loved hearing you explain your thoughts. Thanks for showing your beautiful palette. What a beautiful eye you have for your paints.
No matter what you call it I think it is lovely.
Love the idea of playing with the colors and just seeing what happens. What a beautiful painting!
Beautiful. Love the colours and the touch of foil is lovely. Thanks for explaining you process. Xx
Great tip on flipping the pad upside down!
This video really resonated with me. I have painted with acrylics for several years but added water colours to my repertoire a couple of years ago & eventually found that i loved how with a little experience watercolour has a mind of its own & if you are prepared to be brave & go with the flow literally the results are amazing. What you Cheever here was an excellent result of this process & you are the first person i have encountered who has explained this intuitive process. I now know I’m not alone. Thank you so much ✨
LovelyCeeCee and what a great explanation of your process! Thank you so much. Also, those colours you made are amazing!
If your goal was to inspire, you hit it out of the park! I always love your choice of colors, CeeCee. They always combine into something utterly unique and beautiful. Always, thank you for sharing your work with all of us "wanna be Cee Cees".
i'm so happy to hear that kind of comment. it is my mission to inspire so this makes me feel like i am accomplishing something worthy. have a beautiful and creative day!
Beautiful. I love intuitive painting, or art of any medium. Watercolor seems to be very conducive to intuitive work. Love the tree and the color scheme. Thank you for sharing your process.
well, look at you go! love your sensibilities
I absolutely love this volcanic tree. So beautiful.
Thank you for sharing. I love your work and your a great teacher!
Thanks so much for explaining your intuitive process. As a novice, intuition is about all I have! I am always delighted with your end product. Please, if I may ask, tell us about your signature symbol?
thank you, Suzanne! my signature is a play on my name "ceecee" , written vertically in 2 columns, the 2nd column mirroring the 1st one. have a beautiful day!
If anyone like me wonders when the explaining starts, it's around 8:30. Both (before and after) is absolutely watchable, helpful and lovely as always but today I was more looking for the explanation part ;) Thanks so much for explaining your process!!!
This is stunning, and you have done a very good job explaining what the intuitive process is all about. I love watching you work like this. The silver foiling is such an awesome addition, and the colors are just stunning. TFS.
Wow… this is gorgeous ❤️
Wonderful explanation! Thank you for being so clear about a process that is relatively murky. 😊 Definitely inspiring!
You are an inspiration, thank you. 🌹🙏
Lovely. Thank you for sharing and your explanation of intuitive.
Gave me a great starting point for some interesting trees. Thank you! Love your colors and your intuitive creativity.
So extra surprising and so so so pretty.🌹🌹
Beautiful tree!❤❤❤❤
I saw a tree first and then clouds. Love this!
Cee Cee - wow!!! I loved this so much.....even better than the first one you did (the only with gold foil). Would love to get my hands on the Kremer Pigments. Can't wait to see #3. Glad you were able to post today. Have a nice weekend.
thank you so much, Catherine!
Excellent explanation and beautiful result.
This is beautiful, I want to say you should do a triptych but I hate when people tell me what to do in artwork,lol. I love your process, I love making intuitive art whether it's painting or drawing. When I feel stuck and can't come up with what I feel like making this is how i go, just get something down on paper or what have you and as I work something either starts to inspire me to a certain picture or theme and if that doesn't happen I do like you do and do something abstract. I love your hand mixed palette, such beautiful colors! Thanks for posting this.
I was totally shocked when you said a tree... the entire time, even while shading in the "mountian shadows" i figured you were painting a volcano... 😂 But ofcourse I can see a majestic tree now.
I like you volcanic tree. I really like the surprise. You start and I'm thinking "What Cecece is painting now? what is it ". Then I see it. It's amazing how you do it. Thank you.
I watched this again tonight, and again I thought it was so beautiful. It has an almost mystical quality! Thank you. By the way, I saw a poppy the whole time. But after you pointed out the tree, I saw it as well. Thanks again.
Gorgeous
i'm only 00:11 in and i'm like WAIT what is this magical shimmery palette, i'm squealing! ok, continuing to watch now. i still need those pigments in my life though... dreamy
A calming tree
This is the most amazing and beautiful creation! Thank you for sharing! Wow
Inspiring AS ALWAYS. Simply stunning! 👑✨
That is so cool, I loved it when you said you mixed your own colors to create a color pallet. I understand your intuitive is the magic that will happen when applying the paint and your technique. Just like you said, Unplanned! I love it!!! As for me, one without any imagination.....I find that for me....INTUITIVE' as you say....mostly works for me, :)
Gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the third one!
I love these colors together. I think they give a magical feel to a painting, which in this case is quite fitting. And even though I know what intuitive painting is I enjoyed hearing you explain it and your process. Needless to say hearing you say you look for the wet spot gave me a bit of a giggle and yes, possibly a bit of a naughty giggle but also just a in general kinda giggle. For myself, I, really, prefer not to find the wet spot cuz that means my little Miss Meg has had another accident and I need to wash my feet and mop the floor. ; ] love this piece as always. I first saw a mushroom cloud but you convinced me to see the tree and even a volcano, grudgingly. Loves and hugs😁
Oh my gosh, my turn to giggle!!! that's too funny. thank you for that this morning and i hope you won't have to mop up too many wet spots today. hugs!
@@creationsceecee grrrrr not that lucky, nope, I got the two for the price of one deal this morning. So glad I don't have carpeting in this apartment, I'd never get my damage deposit back. She IS learning though 🐾
I love it Cee Cee and well said!
Yes!!! I told you on Instagram and on FB that I see it as a volcanic tree!! :D It is so cool and beautiful twin!! Love the colors and the glitter and silver adds that little extra!! Awesome! Thanks for explaining the process and what you mean with intuitive painting! Very helpful! :) Hope you'll get a wonderful Sunday!! xx
thank you, twin! i hope your weekend was awesome xx
Thank you twin! It could have been better... ( ibs ) But I hope yours was awesome!! xx
I'm going to have to try this intuitive painting technique. It reminds me of Jean Haines' book about painting yourself into a calm state, though I admit that I haven't read the book. ;)
I love these two that we got to see and I hope the third was as successful as these were.
thanks, Travis! i am not familiar with that book either but i'll look it up!
😍 Love it!
Cool process
This is beautiful
So pretty!!
Awesome volcanic tree!
beautiful...
Very nice, great idea!
I came across your wonderful video while I was grappling the idea of intuitive painting for the last 2 years. I didnt get it since I cant doodle. I have dyslexia and cannot follow ideas very well. I have a knack of colours and sometimes start a painting from a ref photo with water. I didnt put these ideas together until you mentioned those 2 elements. I can now find a path with intuitive painting for the first time.
How about setting yourself the task of doing 5-10 more intuitive paintings? And then after 10 paintings you'll find one that matches the other two without putting preasure on yourself. Gorgeous colours on this piece, thank you.
i love the way you think, miranda. i might just do that!
Thank you so very much!
Beautiful ....
Genius!
Trop beau 👍👍,
Complimenti!!!
I love, love, this one♥️🇨🇦
Wonderful!
I’ve missed you!!!
Your Kremer pallet came out great. Do you suggest getting certain pigments to try? Seems like it would be hard to pick some out. I love how this came out, love the colors.
thank you, liz. it is indeed difficult to pick out which pigment is good to buy. that is why i took the class at Kremer; that way, you get to try different ones and can make a better choice.
Really inspiring! Thank you😍
Loving your intuitive art. Where do u buy Kremer pigments?
❤️❤️❤️
Does your friend by any chance make and sell the sun gold? 😍
Lovely painting you did there! - I am intrigued by the binding rings on your sketch pad, what is that?
thank you, Peter. the rings are part of a binding system called "disc binding". for this, you need a special punch which are available from different sources and comes in a variety of sizes. i got mine from Amazon at this link: www.amazon.com/Levenger-Circa-Leverage-Punch-ADS6190/dp/B00C0KJ9V4 . it's a heavy duty one and can punch up to 2 watercolor sheets (140lb). the discs are also available online or directly from Levenger.com (beware -- their product offerings are quite alluring. you've been warned).
Many thanks.
Do you have a tutorial on mounting or displaying water color art?
I don’t but i usually display them behind a glass frame.
Could you please tell me about the journal you work in for your watercolors? What type of water paper do you use?
the journal i am currently using is a handmade one put together with a disc binding system and Canson XL 140lb cold press watercolor paper.

Can I purchase the watercolours used in this video
the rose of ultramarine is by Daniel Smith and can be found in art stores and online. however the other paints are handmixed and are not available for purchase as is. you'd have to buy the pigments and the watercolor binder from Kremer Pigments and mix them up yourself.
Samatha, i made an error. the purple i used was also mixed from fluorescent violet (and not rose of ultramarine). but i'm sure you can purchase ready-made pans of it from Kremer Pigments.
