Dear CeeCee! I'm just wanna let you know how much I appreciate your videos! Your creations are beautiful, your voice is calming. This channel is one of my happy places. Thank you for creating and sharing!
Outlining the leaves with gold turned a realistic painting into something surreal. I love both versions equally.
I like both versions but GOLD cannot ever be wrong and I won't get tired of it! 😍😘😊
I’ve been trying to order it, no luck!!
@@colette-adcock Not sure if this helps because I am in Germany, but here's a link www.kremer-pigmente.com/en/ready-made-colors/?f=19%7C186 Good luck! 😘🤗 - Edit: I just realised that a different link is in the video description. Sorry.
Hi CeeCee, In my opinion, the pre gold painting looked like a nature study and post gold looked like a beautifully decorated panel or wallpaper. I could enjoy it both ways. ✌🏾✏🖌
Hi this is amazing I am going to try. I only started my water colour journey a few weeks ago to help my mental health and you have done wonders you should be available on prescription so thank you so much for the smiles and joy you bring
thank you, Karen! although the last part of your comment is cute and funny, mental health is serious and i'm hoping things get better for you soon. wishing you hours and hours of mindful creations!
Being creative has definitely been great for my mental health too!
@@creationsceecee on the right track thank you
I love this painting, just love it. I am just going to begin watercolor journey. I know nothing of this work. I am learning from you. I'm so very impressed. I love this painting without the gold so so much. But then the gold makes it look rich, like some wild Saudi Arabian prince wanted it for his princess. Your work makes me happy and right now I need this due to many familial issues. Thank your allowing us to learn from you.
Karen, I learned so many years ago that creativity is my medicine of calming joy!
Definitely WITH the gold! Not only does it look so much better and more crisp n' finished, but it pulls those leaves to the foreground making them brighter and lighter. LOVE IT!
kyrah kookiez - agree, and the gold edges make it appear to be lit from behind by sunlight!
@@allthumbs3792 Yesss exactly!!
The pregold painting was very appealing to me. In this case, the gold became the most notable feature. Instead of being an accent, it felt like the main point. The leaves faded into the background and became secondary. Still, as always, your tutorials and masterpieces are just fabulous. Keep up the great work. It doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks, as long as it makes you happy.
Hello from British Columbia. You can never have too much gold. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I like both. The gold reminds me of an enameled piece of art.
Oh my yes with gold....the jewelry of art. A gorgeous work of art. Thanks for sharing.
I love both with and without gold. With that being said, the gold gives it so much interest.
Glorious!! The key thing I always take away from watching you is Restraint. You practive Less Is More so expertly! I really struggke with overdoing paints, pencils, etc. You are SUCH an inspiration, CeeCee!
I totally love it with the gold. The outline wether in black white or gold would look good and it really complements the leaves so much. It’s beautiful 💕
Yes, it was a beautiful painting before the gold outline, but as I have said before, no painting is truly finished without a touch of gold. So glad to share your delight in this lovely painting!
I agree. No gold is natural. Gold is like stained glass. Looks like so much fun! Thanks so much.
I'm so happy to have found your UA-cam videos. Thank you for your inspiration and honesty, and for the lovely calm, restful atmosphere that immediately resonates with me
Art SHOULD be joyful! So pretty. I have Inktense pencils and haven’t really liked them much. I am going to try this. I like it WITH the gold. Thank you for sharing!
Dear CeeCee, I am reignited in my excitement to play with my supplies after watching your videos. I'm a little obsessed. I hit a wall trying to find what I loved and wanted to do and your work with the intense pencils and colored pencils has me excited again. I so much appreciate how free you are about sharing your work and techniques and going through the whole process. thank you!!!
The gold gave the leaves dimension. The white dots made the painting look like it was nighttime and the stars were out illuminating the gold leaves. Very beautiful.
Truly beautiful. I am somewhat obsessed with painting leaves so I found this painting very satisfying. Also I keep buying glorious metallic paints without knowing quite how to add them to my paintings so seeing how you use your gold is very inspiring. This painting reminds me of cloisenne enamel. Lovely.
I like that the streakiness of the final inktense application after the background was added echoes the granulation within that primatek paint.
I like both versions,but I do think the gold does add that touch of glamour. I do love the colours in this one too.🥰
I love watching you paint and hearing your thinking as you work through the process. The colors you used are beautiful. I always love the GOLD! You have made another delightful painting and because you enjoyed the process, we enjoyed the process. Thank you for being so willing to share.
I love it with the gold. It makes me think of a kimono print a bit. It has a vintage feel to me. I know weird. Something my mind can't bring to the surface. I enjoyed your happiness while doing this painting, it is contagious.
I agree!
I like the gold outline very much. It really makes everything pop even brighter.
It is lovely both ways. I find your gold obsession and your giggles very endearing. I very much appreciate you sharing so much with us.
There is nothing wrong about being obsessed with gold. It is a recognizable feature of your style. I liked the painting both ways.
The gold was what attracted me to this video. I love the gold!
Where do you get your paint supplies? (Paint itself, not brushes, paper, etc.)
Love, love, love, love the gold, or silver, or copper, ...the gold is soooo beautiful!
I thought I’d like it best without but I really like how the gold finishes it off. Very inspiring video. Thanks for sharing your talent.
That was my thought too. I didnt want her to add gold, I loved it without, but after she did I loved it with the gold. Which tells me to try new things. Love this one.
Oh, how I love watching you and listening to your calming peaceful voice! I love the leaf paitings, both techniques are beautiful and reflect your wonderful personality!
My favorite tool is inktense pencils. Combine with watercoloring leaves and it is a project I must try. So peaceful and love the colors you chose ❤️
The gold definitely gave the painting a lovely stained glass look. But I loved it without the gold for a naturally muted look. Beautiful both ways!
With the gold it's beautiful and shiny
Beyond beautiful. Each one invoked a completely different emotion for me. The first one was a more formal, serious, lovely piece of creative art. Quiet and contemplative. However, I loved the playfullnes and joy the second one showed. I felt it was full of motion, happy to have each person see something different.
Wow, those colours are beautiful, and so glad you decided to go for it, and paint the background in the darker colour, it really made those leaves sing. 😍😍😍
Sorry, meant to say, thank you again for another brilliant demo and sharing all your artistic wisdom xx
haha, i appreciate both your comments. thank you, Kay!
I love the gold. I agree it gives the piece the look of stained glass. Well done!
Before the gold it was very natural and soft. After the gold it looked like a beautiful and expensive fabric that I loved.
Either way it's stunning!
The gold brought the leaves forward and became more vibrant.
I liked both paintings CeeCee but the gold lifted it to another level. I've always liked cloisonné but that often flattens out a painting. Yours had a lovely 3D quality with the texture in the leaves and that dark background with "stars" to help the leaves pop out. Magical!
I remember one from last yr. Placed paint on. Paper and turned upright let it run, then added gold and doodles. I have thought of that for over a yr. Loved it.
Well I just am drawn to the richness that gold brings to Art, so I'll never not get bored with your obsession.
I liked both versions of the painting. Before gold was just lovely too.
Art dates are an awesome idea and something I wish I could do more of.
Thank you so much for today I need this art therapy.
Cheers
Lisa
The gold outline is a definite winner. Beautiful piece.
Simply beautiful!!! I think the gold adds a whole new dimension to it.
Delightful watching this work come together! Love the palette and each color’s intensity! I prefer the gold additions- it added some variety that make it that much more interesting. Thank you so very much for the time it must take to put together these video’s! Your free spirit has definitely effected how I approach painting.
That's the thing with the creative process. You just don't know where it will end. I liked the way the leaves came to life once the background colour was placed. The colours seemed to pop out.
It looked soft and natural with no gold outlines added....
Adding the gold, brought the painting into another realm. Making the painting modern and focused somehow. It emphasised each individual leaf in a halo. Adding the little white dots, made the leaves look like they were sat under a starlit sky and just added to the magic of the painting. X
Do I prefer one over the other?
It doesn't really matter, it's guilded now and that's how it will remain. Unless you decide to do another 😊x
Don’t you just love those inktense pens?! I also love the granulation they bring to the table
Absolutely such a beautiful card. I think it looks beautiful both ways; however the gold outline gives it such an elegant finish.
You are just showing us all kinds of new stuff.
❤️I just can’t stop creating.
My work is mostly acrylic but water colour when I want to be Free.
I’m so excited to bring my water colour on my adventures in nature. 💜
Just so easy to paint on site.
Thank you for sharing.
The gold is the jewelry of the painting! Beautiful
Totally love it. These pencils are new to me, and they are magnificent. Perfect for travelling, or just walking through a park and forest without having to carry too much. Thank you, always love your enthusiasm of just loving to create new things. You really transfer the relaxing and peace of enjoying painting.
Omg, the gold makes it more happy. I love ❤️ it.
Beautiful with and without gold. I thought I'd prefer it without but as you were painting with the gold, it swept me in. Very inspiring and so meditative. Thank you for sharing.
Sweet Sweet CeeCee 🤩 - I love when you indulge yourself and have fun while painting another GOLDEN MASTERPIECE 💫❣💫
You have inspired me to the extend, that I myself NOW love adding gold to my paintings - even though I NEVER before liked gold - because I have always been a "silver-girl" - ha ha 😏
THX yet again for sharing a blissful moment of joyful painting - it's much appreciated...
Take loving care and keep having fun 🥰
I'll never get tired of gold. I love it too.
Both are beautiful, the gold adds a bit of elegance to the painting, which I love. Thank you for sharing your beautiful paintings
Beautiful! Don’t stop using the gold! It’s fabulous and such a you thing! Thank you for sharing this lovely video.
This is so lovely and a joy to watch you play! I see why you wanted to outline the leaves, as the edges did blend into the background (though that was nice, too). I wondered if you would outline in white and place the dots in gold, but I think your choice was best. Thank you so much for sharing your creative thought process.
The gold! Yes, and the white dots....just perfection
Very pretty CC. I think that what makes that specifically your signature style ‘IS’ the addition of gold with white dots. Yes, it does look like a very pretty piece of stained glass.
Definitely with the gold outlines! Gives my definition to the painting. Without the gold the leaves seem to get lost in the background.
It’s lovely. I definitely prefer it with the gold. It really finishes it off beautifully.
I love to see how you paint and the crativity you are desprens. Without gold is beautiful but gold makes stained glass. Thank you for teaching us and share it. An embrace from Barcelona!
Love both! They appeal to different moods and vibes. As a card maker, I always think “that would be a beautiful card” and I always hope my cards are frame-worthy. I love things that are so beautiful, you want to display them, not tuck them into a drawer or a box. Your art is just that...frame-worthy! Need lots of walls and horizontal space (for hanging art and table-top frames).
The pre-gold version is very natural and has its beauty. However, the gold adds a certain elegance to the project making it my favorite. A little gold always makes it better. ; )
I like them both equally! I do like your gold accents and I’m not tired of them. I love that you had so much fun doing it. Can’t go wrong with that
I love how playful, free and relaxed you become when your gold paints come out! I agree the final result looks like beautiful stained glass. I do appreciate how willing you are to share your knowledge - I am so inspired by you - Every.Single.Time! Thank you! Your work is always so beautiful.
Love the texture, the colors and the shape of the leaves! Great project and fairly mindless. Just what I need to destress. Thank you CeeCee!
Gorgeous with or without the gold. And I also loved the music. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
I like the gold outline. It makes me think this would look lovely as a silk fabric too
I like both pieces of work. They are stunning with or without the gold. Thank you for sharing.💖💖💖
Beautifully painted. Could watch all day. I absolutely love the dark background that makes the leaves stand out. 😊👍🏽❤️
STUNNING!!! Intense Pencils and Blocks are my FAVORITE to work with!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Your obsession with gold rubbed off on me, finally!
I actually decided to pause 10 seconds in and follow along and recreate the same sketch that you did. But when I finished I realised that I don’t own any gold paint. So I spent the next 10 hours on Amazon and every art supply store online, plus watched every gold watercolour paint review video on UA-cam until 3am. That’s what you call obsessive!
Your painting looks like a magical forest. The leaves seam to glow in the dark! I love it!
I like you using gold in your paintings. And thank you for the recommendation of Kremer Pigmente, their golds and silvers are amazing.
Beautiful piece CeeCee! We share a love of that shimmery gold so the outlines pushed it that much more over the edge. Thank so much for sharing!! Have a great week! 💚💛💜
Tbh, I was a bit doubtful how the gold would look like, but in the end I got my answer. It looks extremely beautiful and ornate with just a tiny bit of gold.... such a satisfying video to watch!
I really liked it before the gold. It was absolutely STUNNING! but somehow, the gold outline makes it look and feel more "finished". I think it was a smart choice!
What a beautifil painting. The gold outline gives it a festive look.
It's so relaxing watching you paint. You're very talented!
Your works are what got me started with adding gold/silver to some of my pieces, either splattered or drawn in circles/semi-circles! I preferred this one without the gold but it still looks great!
This is just gorgeous. I thought the gold might be a bit over the top until it was completed. It now looks 3D. I love watching.
Love the calm vibe of this video. I like the painting better without the gold because it allows the leaves themselves to be the stars of the show, and they deserve stardom!
I never thought that leaves could be so exquisitely beautiful 😇
CeeCeem I prefer the gold outlines. It adds such beautiful dimension as well as the sparkle of life!
Thank you- I loved every minute of that. It was as much fun to watch as it was to hear you enjoying it. Wonderful giggles and then that gorgeous piece of music while you painted with gold. Bless you for helping with long term Covid recovery! xxx
I so often watch you in the mornings over a cup of tea. Today has been a very stressful heart wrenching morning. as I crawled into bed to hover under my covers my first thought was surely CeeCee Will cheer me up. And of course you have as you always do. God bless you for your videos and your pleasant voice. I love your artwork and only wish I could support your Patreon account. But I know many others do, deservedly. I would love connecting with other artists even though I cannot possibly hold a candle to the artistic talents of yourself and many others. The difference is I can take my watercolor pencils and copy you once in a while it feel accomplished. Thank you so much for your UA-cam videos
I loved the leaves without the gold, but, when I saw the gold, yes! I share your love of gold so, obsess away!
I loved your session and music. I was mesmerized by your strokes of the pencil and the layers that added depth to the leaves. I watched this session prior to sleep and was so relaxed and calm, l fell asleep quickly. Your voice was very soothing. Thank you. I loved your work.
Cece, this painting shouted gold. It is the perfect definition of the finishing touch. The background looks like a starry midnight sky. The colors remind me of intense desert foliage and flowers.
This painting would translate to a great designer decorator fabric!
Thank you, Cee Cee, for all you do to share your gifts with us.👍😊🌻🎨
I like both versions as well, the gold does remind me of stained glass too. Both are beautiful
I love your work. Every time I watch one of your videos you make me believe I can do this too. Thank you. I never get tired of gold!
Thank you so much for you incredible videos and tips. I love your colour choices, and (as a keen but still novice watercolourist), I get so much from your encouraging tuition, and your uplifting comments. I have a set of these pencils, and look forward to using them more. With the gold is like copper-foiling, and I like both with and without it, and with and without the blue background. 👍🏻
I share the love for gold with you. I am happy, that you went for it. ❤️
I love the finished peace with the white dots even better!
The way you made the inktense swatches was cool. Learned something new! Thanks for sharing.
It might be 12 months later I know your gold obsession hasnt wained!! The gold really lifts it. Glad to hear you so happy...hope you've found your happy place in Nov '21 💜⚘ thanks for another lovely session CeeCee
Beautiful and I like the gold accents. I think you should be able to indulge in whatever makes you happy. Thanks for sharing, CeeCee.
I LOVE the gold. It reminds me of silk painting.
I love both versions of this. It would be so difficult to choose which one I prefer. I can see this being a set of three. One in the gold, one in silver and one plain.
I like it without the gold but LOVE it with the gold. One of the many reasons I love watching your videos is that you know how to take a painting beyond. . . . I am a beginner and where I might stop, you continue. You make me stop and consider (a good thing). Sometimes your additional step(s) might seem minimal in terms of the Number of brushstrokes but they make a major impact. Thank you for your skill and inspiration. Separate note: When you can spare the time, would you address using white watercolor paint--the how's and why's, any tricks? (During this difficult time, cut off from almost all in-person interaction, hearing your comments and chuckles is such a lifeline. I am 75, living alone, rarely seeing my family, but you are there, talking to us/me and it helps--a lot. It must take you more time and, of course, precious energy, to give us directions and insight but it is so valuable for many reasons. Please continue.) You are a bright light.
I really do love both versions CeeCee, thank for the beautiful art 💜
