This is so beautiful Cee Cee! I am very impressed with the face - she is lovely. I also love the effects of the Elegant Writer. It very much reminds me of something I used to do when I was very little. I used to take small baby food jars and put water in them and dip a felt pen into the water to see the different colors it would create. I discovered that I would get purple, turquoise, and blue depending on how long I dipped the pen. I would line up the little bottles of ink-water on my window sill. My mother always encouraged me with this "hobby" and would marvel at the colors with me. Thanks for bringing this lovely memory up from the depths :)
what a lovely comment and what a lovely mother! i'm glad you have those memories, reminding you to play and marvel at simple things. have a wonderful weekend!
Wow! I saw Nins Ribena do flowers with the elegant writers, and was blown away. I had no idea you could use them in this way. She told viewers to check out what you do and I am so glad I did. TFS. I did.
Wow CeeCee, for someone that doesn't draw many faces you could have fooled me! Love the technique and the added Neo's, she turned out beautiful :) Hope to try this one day myself :) OMG I commented to quick because I just saw the end of the video to see the other projects, WOW you so rocked this technique CeeCee :)
:thud: Seriously, my jaw was dropped the entire time watching you draw, color and paint this. I literally gasped when I saw you add water to that pen! OMG, have to have! You inspire me beyond what I can express…thank you for sharing your process!
Your face is amazing!! I love her! Very cool way to interpret the quote. I haven't moved on to 3/4 faces yet. Beautiful page! OMG!! I have those pens! I never knew they were so awesome! I use them for calligraphy when I feel too lazy to use my real ones. I'm getting those out today to play! Thanks for showing this! Yeah!
That is seriously beautiful. All of the pieces that you did with the elegant writer are just wonderful. I love the haunted look in her eyes which is accentuated by her insubstantial appearance. You inspire my friend.
That writer is amazing as is your video! And when I thought I was done learning new things, you popped in the gold flecks in the eyes which sent it over the top. WOW
Thankyou so much for sharing. I loved your painting. The elegant writer is truly awesome. I am now awaiting for mine to arrive. I can't wait to try it. Your face shows how much time you have spent in practice. Give your self a pat on the back and a definite thumbs up. Have a wonderful day and again thankyou.
Awesome drawing and I like your coloring. I took a class from a prof watercolor artist on that elegant writer after watching her UA-cam video. I love the pen I have done a bunch of watercolor pieces using it.
This is beautiful and the effects of the elegant writer is amazing. I guess I will add one to my wish list. Thanks for posting your videos. You are an inspiration!
This is stunning. Love watching it. Now this pen is a must have for sure. Gotta get it. :) You are an enabler for sure .D Thanks for the inspiration CeeCee.
Your videos are so wonderfully inspirational and instructive. I am going to find myself an elegant writer pen, so I too can experience the magic of it. Thanks!
This is just amaaaaazing!!! Love it so much!! Thank you for sharing!! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!! Or maybe it wasn't in Canada . . . not sure!!
Oh CeeCee this is beautiful. The face is lovely. Fortunately for me I already have these pens and therefore do not have to risk going to another AAA meeting ( addicted artist anonymous) for purchasing another product. LOL. Thank you for sharing again your cool creations.
This has turned out fabulous..after watching one of your other videos I hunted down these pens managed to get two but coming from the USA cannot get cool stuff here sometimes lol ..but managed to see next video that came up unfortunately not yours..but she has found a trick to set the lines when you do not want them to run..good for faces etc..hold a fine spray of water above the picture ,not close and spray over because it’s fine it sets the lines and prevent more blooming when touched by watercolours etc..must be about a foot above to do the trick ..hope this helps ..cannot wait for mine to come 😀
yes, but be careful not to spray too close for you'll move the ink and if you spray too far, it might not set everything. just proceed with caution and experiment.
+Paula Brennan That's awesome, Paula! I actually have a full online class dedicated to the Elegant Writer, with 3 projects and sketches included. in case you're interested in learning more, here's the link to my class : bit.ly/1OSm49F Enjoy your Writer... it's a lot of fun!
Judy Dempsey I would imagine so since Speedball is a US company I think. I bought mine at Michael's here in Canada. Thank you for your sweet comment and have a wonderful weekend!
Oooh, forgot to ask, you said there are a lot of rules for using the elegant writer…would you be willing to share those in a video? I am definitely going to be adding that pen to my supplies as I am just in awe of it but would love to have a better working understanding of it! Thanks so much!!
Cool technique! Thanks for sharing! You were working in a paper pad, right? So, did you end up putting half the girl on the back of a watercolor sheet and half on the front of the water color sheet since you were using a pad? And was this hot or cold pressed paper? Super cool!!
Terri Daly thank you, Terri. I used 2 sheets of water color paper and taped them together, side by side, with painter's tape. I worked across both sheets and when I was done, I separated them as they were originally and glued them down in my book. The video shows how I did that. As for the paper, it's 140lbs cold pressed. the full list of supply is on my blog post, link above, if you need to know the colors I've used.
+Debby Graf Debby, they are .... and not... it's difficult to explain in a comment. However, I go into details and talk about the permanency of the markers in my online class, Watercolor Fun with Elegant Writer, that you can find here: bit.ly/1OSm49F
I've been drawing realistic portraits for 2 years. There's nothing wrong with art journal faces, but they are in no way realistic. Don't stress about getting any proportions right. The fun thing about them is that they don't have to be realistic, in my opinion.
I can picture someone writing out their wedding invitations with the pen and then spilling water by accident all over and discovering that water with the pen does that' I know I'm weird but I think about how people come up with thing....don't forget to flush lol

Does the elegant writer ink become permanent when dry or is it like watercolors.
