Thank you CeeCee! It’s my pleasure to be counted as one of your awesome patrons & such a worthwhile investment❣️

[@southdakotahandmaid9205]

Thank you, again, for sharing your journey and your talent with all of us! I have only recently (and rather late in life!) started painting and I find that it is the rare occasion that I do NOT cry while watching you paint and doodle...it is always a very moving experience to observe you working and enjoying your self-expression! You are a treasure, CeeCee!

[@lindadanesh8524]

I love your style and choice of color in your paintings. Have been in watercolor painting now for about 8 years and still learning so much so watching your videos I am picking up so much. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@deannamunro8148]

yes...Indigo becomes a living thing in the right hands....and OH! the vase is wonderful. glad you only did a bit in gold ...

[@alberthastegmann6671]

All I can say is wow!!🌟👏🏻🤩

[@davidwarden4422]

Gorgeous. Love it so much. Looks so simple but I know how much work went into it. I’m going to try to do something like it. Thanks for your awesome video. Makes my day. Stay safe, be calm, be kind. The motto of the times.

[@creationsceecee]

thank you so much! have a wonderful week 😊

[@Weissguys6]

This is so glorious! I’m a super-beginner and am binging your videos! ❤️

[@creationsceecee]

Thank you! wishing you a beautiful and creative week 😊

[@ariellejacksonjoe]

You do such a beautiful job! In art, but also coaching, vibe, attitude and even humor.. love your sweet giggle 🙂

[@marshakochiss8265]

I didn’t have the vision when you were sketching…but this painting is so elegant and beautiful. Love the color palette and, OF COURSE, THE GOLD. Pie’ce de re’sistance!! Thanks for inspiration, CeCe 💕🙏

[@lindahigham5317]

Good afternoon 👋☺️ Ceecee 🌹 another wonderful watercolour painting to watch come alive Thank You for sharing this video and all the tips like the cotton bud I just have learned so many things it's awesome 👍 stay safe and be careful 🙏✍️🖌️🎨💌🌹👋 enjoy your day and your week ahead too ☺️🤗

[@junethiel632]

Tres elegante! Your paintings always captivate me....it is totally therapeutic to watch!

[@creationsceecee]

thank you so much for these kind words, June! have a beautiful week 🌸😊

[@susielessard4304]

Gorgeous! I love the tip about using your pencil to shade and the use of a cotton tip to pick unwanted paint splatters. The gold mosaic on the vase is lovely - I'm always interested to see where you might incorporate gold.

[@barbaralassiter259]

This is beautiful! I love to watch the paint spread out when you charge it into a wet surface. This is one of the fascinations of watercolor for me. I think we would all like to have gold seeds in our plants. Love the combo of pencil and gold!

[@emilykoch3104]

Gorgeous

[@Minjuan913]

Such a perfectly cool color combination for very hot weather!

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Beautiful! I’m watching at 1 a.m. The video is sooo relaxing. Thank you.

[@pamipie3455]

I love this so much! Thank you for explaining and demonstrating shading. I've been a mosaic artist for the last twenty years so when you added the gold tesserae it just totally made my day! This is so beautiful!

[@barbarabeckman6722]

Beautiful

[@donnaherbignat9457]

This is so beautiful. I could watch you paint and create, and listen to your voice all day. It’s better than a chill pill or a glass of wine! 💞

[@shancan6328]

Maybe...but I do like wine...but it does make me sleepy. Cee Cee doesn't make me sleepy. : )

[@janetcopeland295]

Absolutely beautiful and delightful to look at. I was especially thrilled by the way you blended the vase. The gold accent is the "icing on the cake" for me. I bought gold paints and have fallen in love with them. Then, I found your videos here and was thrilled to see how you use it so creatively and beautifully. I love your style and it has struck a creative chord within me. Thank you for the things you do here, I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. I appreciate that you are doing this and so happy to be able to view your teaching and work.

[@dianedial4262]
