Love the idea of an Inventory of Doodles"! 7:16 What a clever idea to bind them together with the ring to keep them accessible! Your voice is soothing and explanations so helpful. I hope you will return to making videos again, but I realize the stress that can cause over time. You are a treasure and please know that you are appreciated for your hard work and beautiful art creations!
I have a mixed media journal which is terrible for watercolor so I use it like a scrapbook. I do my doodles and other small paintings on pieces of decent paper and use double sided tape to adhere the art into the book. This gives me an inventory of ideas for future paintings.
I am left handed and my mind does not understand what is going watching a right handed artist. Sounds strange I know. But no matter, you are so free and my admiration is to the sky. When my husband was alive he wanted my art to be realistic and did not understand that I preferred my own style. He was a good man and built me my own studio.
I agree with all the wonderful comments, and want to add that you have attracted a following of kind, positive, and appreciative people, which makes reading the comments a pleasure, and which reflects the person who you are. Kudos on all levels.
I’ve been painting oranges over & over so these look like fruit to me. This painting honors the minerals that color our world- gold, iron, ochre, our beautEarth! 😎❤️
Your doodles are gorgeous and its mesmerizing to watch! So relaxing. In this time of stress in our world you bring a bright light with you work and soothing voice....thank you!
Why is it that when you randomly put down colors in a carefree manner, they look great and when I try to do things like you do, mine look like a mess??? Guess that’s the difference between an artist and a beginner. I’m not giving up, though. Hopefully some day mine will look a little better. My grandkids think I do a great job, so I do have a few fans. ;)
Thank you for inspiring me and my daughter of 7, to be relaxed and doodle with you! Greetings from lock down in Serbia
That is gorgeous. You really should consider scanning and having these printed as abstract wall art. I bet you’d sell a ton.
Please do it!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would love to make all my own art work in my
next Home.
I can't get enough of this Gold... Beautiful story. He's coming.
Thanks for the prayer.
I don’t know what I’d do without your doodles. This home bound life after cabin fever is actually making me lethargic. You’re making me move. Thank you for all of your uploads. It means so much.
I don’t have all of the supplies, wonder of wonders. I need new pens. FYI Dick Blick has been having great sales daily.
Thanks again, stay safe and healthy.
Love this. The gold thing...it’s not a problem. Who doesn’t love a little gold?
The ring binder of doodles is brilliant!! I love that and will give it a go. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
can you share few of doole in the ring-binder. It's a great idea!
The circle in Blue looks like a snow globe. Love this.
If I could only put into words how much your demonstrations mean to me... I am inspired by your words and by you sharing your passion for creating art. I hope you continue to share as I know so many of us look forward to seeing you create. Thank you, I will be joining as a Patreon member very soon!
Winsor Newton has a gold metallic ink you might like. It needs to be shaken very well before using. Then, after it has dried, you can burnish it and make it look like gold leaf. I love to watch the glitter flakes swirl around after it has been shaken. They are beautiful to watch.
thank you for the tip! i'm intrigued and will investitage.
Really like this..the circles,dots,gold with this colour palette....good idea to have a handy repertoire of doodle designs
I am sincerely loving your doodles-dots-circles-lines. You make me feel like I can let go and play instead of being so determined in my painting.
Oh CeeCee, my premier pet peeve is people using 'guys' when addressing more than one person. I thought I was the only one with this aversion. As for your art videos, I love, love, love them. I'm a want to be artist, but feel so uptight when I try anything. Your videos give me a feeling of peace and I think I might be able to loosen up a bit now. Can't wait to follow all of your videos. Thank you so much for your inspiration.
I love dots and circles also.. . Your doodles are so gorgeous, and looking at your pieces are so happy and relaxing. I just spent an hour and made one for myself. So much fun!!!
Your artwork is beautiful and your calm voice is peaceful. Art is therapy for me and I am learning so much about watercolors through wonderful artists like yourself that are sharing their craft in videos. Thank you for inspiring me!
Still one of my favorites! I never would have thought these colors would have dried the way they did. To me it’s very mysterious looking!
Silver lining of the pandemic? I'm finding all these wonderful painters to learn from---but your videos are especially calming and have given me another outlet for de-stressing these days. Thank you for sharing your craft!
I felt so peaceful watching you draw and paint, and your voice is very calming. Thank you for helping me to feel less anxious. 💕
I love dots Too! Awesomeness 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖
I love your work . So gentle.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PAINTING!!! THE COLORS ARE MY FAVORITES!!
I can't get enough of your videos. You sounds so upbeat and enthusiastic. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!
Just found you this week...I’ve been using your technique for circles, but I see mine as auras then doodle a little person in each one. I just love your soothing style and want to thank you for the little burst of inspiration you sparked in me.
I'm going to try this but your top circle reminds me of a nautilus shell and that's what I'm going for! Thanks for the continued inspiration!
I do mandalas free style dotting so I understand your freestyle painting I was watching other people watercolor painting and I learn alot but I'm more like you as a artist I thought I wouldn't be able to do as other watercolor artist do but now I know there are people like me in the art world yeah....art rocks🎨✌😷👏newyork strong...
These look like really pretty marbles to me! ☺️
This absolutely beautiful!!! Gonna try to do something similar tomorrow - thank you for uploading this!!! So inspired!!
Love this! The gold is gorgeous.
There is so much beauty in this « simple » painting! Love it! Thank you for all that you do! ❤️
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE MODERN WATERCOLOR CLASS!!! GREAT INSTRUCTOR!!!! I DON’T SPEAK SPANISH SO WITH THE SUBTITLES IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!! THANK YOU!!!
I hadn't seen you lately and I missed your wonderful art . Happy to see you there again!
thank you thank you. for a most pleasant afternoon following your amazing videos...so refreshing and inspiring
I love this. I'm keen to start using water colours for the first time but always feel pressure to have to create a 'proper' painting if you see what I mean. This has inspired me soooooo much to just create work that makes me happy. X
Oh Ceci, love this so much. Your laughter is refreshing and says so much about you. I love your channel and thank you for sharing your creative soul with us. Where can we share our own creations?
I luv how your creative mind works!!!
Could you make a video specifically about the doodle inventory? I’d love to see more!
I have to thank you for recommending the brush guys. I'm new to all of this, and was able to get some really nice brushes for a completely reasonable price.That sure does make a difference! Even though I still have no idea what I'm doing, the brush made me feel like I did. They shipped super fast as well. Now I just need to sort out the paper. Thanks again! :)
Gorgeous and it really resembles a galaxy
I did lessons with children when I taught elementary art like these to help them get out of their head that art had to look like a specific object and that really it is a release of imagination and evolving problem solving of their own making.
Lovely - easy and fun, exactly what I need in my life right now. I have a very hard time doodling, but I'm practicing 👍
About salt: it's not so much the quality of the paint, I think, it just varies a lot between colors. Kind of like how some paints are more granulating or staining than others, not a quality issue but just different properties of the pigments and formulations. Dr Oto Kano has a Daniel Smith comparison series here on UA-cam where she tests out properties of similar colors in the Daniel Smith range, including how they react to gauze and salt techniques. It's super interesting, and sometimes colors that look almost identical will have wildly different reactions!
thank you for the tip! i will look out for that.
So beautiful. I love the doodles. I'm always afraid to do much with the markers, afraid I'll mess up a decent painting with messed up doodles. Sigh. Practice makes confidence. You make it look so effortless.
Looking at this gives me a happy feeling! Lovely!!!
I just love to watch you create!!! Your work is so beautiful and you are soothing to listen to. Now if I could just put some paint to paper! I feel so intimidated but on a good note I ordered the gold and silver paints that you use and am anxiously awaiting their arrival!! Thanks for sharing 🤗🥰
I love this, and will give it a try. I love the colors you made and just the depth this has. It really is just beautiful.
That's what I was going to mention. Salt doesn't work on staining paints - because they don't lift and move. Non-staining works. Granulating gives it a different texture. I have tried a whole lot of different salts. Kosher and rock salt are fun. I had an old container of Lite Salt - lower in sodium - and it made very different marks. I feel bad that it didn't work for you the first time! We avoid things that aren't quickly successful when starting out. I love that you tried it again! My brushes are dry; my paints need days of adding water before they will respond properly, but a friend of mine is trying to egg me on to paint again. I discovered a robin has made a nest outside my sewing room window and caught it with my camera. She wants me to paint it - but I love it as a photo! LOL!
Paints need DAYS of adding water till they respond properly? Well, that’s quite a thing to learn. Thank you for that information. Also the info on the salt not working on staining paints. You are very knowledgeable, Kathleen! Please put some paint to paper again. You didn’t mention why you haven’t done it in so long your paints need to warm up. I don’t know if you have some sort of creative block to get passed, or you’re fine with it cuz you just don’t feel like it. Either way, I appreciated your comments and wish you the best.
@@algiepowers My paints are so dried out that to make them work like fresh paint again! Sorry for the confusion! I've had health problems off and on for several years - it took away a lot of my thinking ability. I'm much better, but I haven't been up to painting for a while. A friend is demanding that I get working on it again, though! LOL! I do creative things though! And, yes - staining paints like thalo/pthalo blue and that type that make smooth washes but don't lift don't let the paint move with the salt. It took me a while to figure that out! :D It is so much fun to experiment and find out what your paints do! I made samples of paints to see how things work. I make lines for each paint I have - or the ones I want to experiment with. I write the names and make a vertical line with a black marker. Then I paint a swatch - water and paint enough to see it well - over that space including over the black line. If paint shows on the line, it is translucent to opaque. The rest are transparent. When they are dry, I take a damp brush and wipe over a bit of the line and wipe with a cloth or paper towel to see if the paint will lift. That will show staining if it doesn't lift or non staining if it does. Some lift a bit more than others. It is interesting to see how your paints work! :D
This is absolutely gorgeous! Your sense for colour and composition is 'spot on'!
Covid is over mostly but it's still havoc for me. I've been so down and so unable to get into my creative groove. This helped. I paused the video and got things done for the day. I treated myself by stopping by an art store for gold metallic. I got a whole pallet of metallics of a cheaper brand. Nevertheless, it was satisfying to follow along at the end of my day in a loose way and make something that felt good. You got me moving this morning with a reward for the end of day. I feel better. Thanks for the inspiration to just make something after my duties to the world were finished.
goals... :)
That was fun...and very relaxing....my hub calls me "dotty" so...those dots are perfection....and I like the white on the stones...more texture...more interesting....now I will go doodle and sprinkle some salt on them...bye.
Thank you so much. This is just lovely. I feel very inspired. I'm a happy South Australian.
It’s fabulous! Thank you for sharing it’s us! I love watching your process, tools and techniques, truly mesmerizing...
Thank you for another beautiful piece of artwork! I love your creations, but I have to admit I also tune in to hear your joyful voice and happy laughter. Thank you
Absolutely love this technique!!! Wonderful!
Beautiful! Outer Space Somewhere!
I LOVED this!! I made one of my own and had so much fun!!! Thank you for sharing!
I agree with you that gold is perfect for that painting, but then again, you always seem to find the perfect place for it :-) I love gold too
This was a great exercise in play! I just love your style. This was so meditative on a snowy Easter Sunday under Quarantine!
That's totally beautiful.
I so love watercolors used this way, CeeCee! Thank you so much for the inspiration, your work is gorgeous.
Loved the video You have given me a new confidence to create something besides a Coloring Book for Adults. I used to love doodles on my Blue Notebooks in High School.
Just watching you work your magic is mesmerizing.
Your doodles are helping me get over starting a painting. Thank you for all your doodles!
This is gorgeous. Like you, I have had trouble using the salt but will keep trying. I have learned so much about combining watercolour painting with doodling in a sophisticated way from you. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and inspiration. Stay safe and healthy.
Beautiful and stress relieving! Thank you.
Wow, super, very nice..👏👍
I love this so much! Your choice of colours is always gorgeous. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Wonderful to watch. Love this painting.
So enjoyable...your work and conversation. More too, you help me think and art outside the boxes....
Girl! You're like a breath of fresh air! Your soothing voice, beautiful art, musings...all of it is a treat! Thank you!
This turned out so beautiful
I so enjoyed her gentle narrative while painting these illusive, dreamlike shapes. I just happened on this site tonight which reminded me of the atmospheric quality of transparent watercolor. Thank you.
