alcohol inks and doodles on yupo

[@jens2763]

Even 5 years later...LOVE THIS. Beautiful...

[@apriledleblute6261]

I spray my ink picture with krylon and let it dry, before I doodle! It keeps the ink from coming off and then you can use almost any pen to doodle or write on it! 😊

[@katebates3423]

which krylon product do you use?

[@kathrynwoodell6928]

@@katebates3423 I know this wasn't a question for me, but I use Krylon Sealer for my watercolors. It also works on alcohol inks. I use it for charcoals and graphite pictures. The stuff is great.

[@pjudge247]

@@kathrynwoodell6928 what about rustoleum crystal clear

[@colleenkleinhans849]

I tried krylon workable fixative and it took the color of the alcohol away as did it when I tried clear acrylic sealer by Patricia Nimocks. Mod podge has a matt clear acrylic sealer. So I tried that. Not as speckled as the other two, however my micron pen smeared.

[@SouthernArtist77]

Which Krylon?

[@beats2476]

I'm 65 and just stated watercolor and ink painting on yopo. I love it. Now you have opened a new can of worms lol. I don't draw very good but I can sure doodle. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing gift you have. Hugs from NC.

[@judyhobday4760]

When I was a lot younger with better eyesight I did a lot of doodling. In fact back when I had a paying job we would have weekly meetings. That was a big doodle time for me. Never got in trouble as I was able to doodle and participate. Meetings were the bane of our work lives and seldom added any benefits. Love your work on Yuppo. I have tho pads of Yuppo and am going to get some out with my alcohol inks. You really inspire me!

[@denisesanborn9965]

I absolutely love your videos! Love how excited you get sometimes. Makes me laugh. Learning so much! I'm a total beginner to art. Retired nurse and always wanted to take art classes. Thanks so much!!!

[@judithjarvis2421]

This is just WOW! I've only recently been introduced to your work and I've been sitting here watching you paint and doodle for what seems to be hours. So much better than housework. Keep up the glorious work x

[@creationsceecee]

thank you and welcome to my channel. i get what you're saying about housework !!!

[@julieanntorrens5548]

Cee Cee, This tutorial is extraordinary. The flower garden is totally captivating. Such talent and skill. So inspirational. Thank you.

[@pampam3144]

You're video has been the best I have every watched. The different techniques finally show me how it's done! Thanks

[@kathyakadragonflysmiles301]

Love your carefree, no limits, let's see attitude. This is when I am at my happiest doing art. Thanks for all of the techniques.

[@creationsceecee]

Yes! like-minded artists. thank you and have a wonderful day!

[@juliao1255]

I get such a kick out of hearing your reactions because they express how I feel on the inside when I experience the joy of art. I also loved watching your bold & brave experimentation with the medium. I am working on letting go of my fear of using my "expensive" supplies on methods when I don't know how they will turn out. I need to just play -- exuberantly! You have inspired me!

[@creationsceecee]

what a wonderful comment! this makes me so happy... to know that i have inspired someone to let go and embrace the joy of creating without fear. wishing you endless hours of pure creative pleasure!

[@blinder4200]

I used to reward myself with following a video of yours after a hard day's work, but now I do it as a morning meditation. :) Thanks for being so lovely!

[@andreeclarke5379]

I found myself smiling for the 1st half of the video, during the ink application. Thank you, I'm still smiling

[@creationsceecee]

Yay! my mission is accomplished. thank you so much for this sweet comment, Andree.

[@Vgudorf]

I was never excited about alcohol inks until I saw this video. It amazes me how much color complexity you were able to achieve with just three bottles of ink and rubbing alcohol! You’ve really ignited my imagination, CeeCee. Thank you so much!

[@sheillabailey5080]

Saw this today July 21, 2023. Beautiful. I’m a card maker and just getting into intuitive art. I’ve been reluctant to use alcohol inks ( in my stash). Thought they were messy not only to work with but to look at. You turn the messy inky blobs into beautiful flowers and leaves. Now I want to give it a try. Thanks CeeCee for sharing your gift on you tube!💛

[@SOMIKOH]

You are the funniest ever!!!......I like how you incorporate humor with work professional master pieces........ Your work is so "splashtacular" colorful and beautiful......."oh how I love"

[@sallyhaddock3096]

This is one of the best tutorials I've watched on Alcohol inks and Yupo. It gives me more courage to try some new ideas. Thanks for your gift and for sharing.

[@adriankap2978]

I enjoy your excitement when you see them blending. It's beautiful work and all from just playing. Very cool and nice..

[@daniellevincelli9920]

OMG!!! My feet are tapping the floor too. I dusted off my little bottles and went to the store to get more! Thank you for inspiring me with something new-ish... love this!

[@NancyLynn]

"A little bit shy"...that's an understatement LOL! I have everything I need to get started yet they're still sitting there waiting to be uncapped. Thank you for the inspiration...absolutely gorgeous pieces!

[@evaschoch7320]

Based on your beautiful Video I ordered alcohol inks and started today with some creations ... I am so thankful that you inspired me ! I love the outcome of my cards....And I start doodleing .....soooooo amazing ! Thanks so much !!!!!

[@creationsceecee]

Yay! Have fun!

[@darlenericotta7550]

I love the colors and how they blend and move.

[@myriamquinn9432]

You're the real deal - just loving what you're doing and being generous....

[@loisannarter2263]

I love them all! The middle one with the bubble you said you might fill in is my favorite spot on the picture! Since you first made it, it looked like a bubble and I hoped it would stay as it was! Thank you for such inspiration and encouragement!Beautiful work!

[@joseward5372]

I agree!

[@bookmouse770]

The colors are like fairy art or something, the colors are unbelievable.

[@mamamaynard]

Absolutely amazing. I've never seen anything like this done with alcohol inks. I make a lot of backgrounds, but have never thought of turning them into pieces like this. So beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ChrisWilliamsRMWpigeon]

i like the blue and green watercoulour in your outro vid, i also like the contrast between the leaves and black curved lines, reminds me of stained glass windows, really vibrant art creationsceecee!!

[@circsched8351]

You're demo is great! Lots of great tips. The result is absolutely beautiful!

[@artjojo52]

Absolutely love your work. Just Beginning the alcohol ink videos. Love the travelers notebook covers!

[@cathleensrensen3073]

I love this technique. It’s like looking for shapes in clouds. You have inspired me. You are a doodler extraordinaire!

[@sherrydee7880]

I stumbled upon this video & am so happy that it found me! This method is so much cleaner than the way I once did a similar process with water colors & India Ink pens back in the 1960's! Since this winter will be long & cold, I know what I'm buying to get me through it & keep my creative side happy & away from the idiot box (tv)! Thanks for sharing- Loved watching the process & the testing of the products was really helpful to avoid wasting money on pens that smear!

[@creationsceecee]

ahaha, the idiot box is absolutely right! glad to be of help. enjoy the ART time and have a wonderful week!

[@cindylcarrillo]

I love your expressions of joy when you create. Makes watching a How to Do video way more fun!

[@oldorangelady]

In Wanderlust Azoline a french artist used alcohol inks. She used Archival inks to stamp. It really is something to practice. You gave me many ideas.

[@MaryOBrienaus]

Gorgeous! And I love how excited and happy it makes you! 😍

[@debbiecolton745]

Cece, great video. I love your work! I’m new to alcohol inks but am a Zentangler. I look forward to combining the two.

[@carolyndaughton3373]

Thank you for a great video! I have alcohol inks and yupo paper and have been wanting to try this. You've inspired me :)

[@joanneeggers641]

your work is amazing!! i am a multi media artist, however, have been a bit discouraged using my alcohol inks. the information you share and show has inspired me to try again! this piece you designed is BEAUTIFUL!! thanks so much for sharing your talents.

[@jamiecee4960]

That is really neat. Love this stuff. Love that Flower you cut off. It's so pretty.

[@irenewickstrom2485]

I love the 3 parts - mount them together in a tryptic. They are gorgeous!

[@azzuparis]

Hi CeeCee, great great tutorial! I truly enjoyed it and the final result is beautiful! It was so therapeutic to watch you playing with inks and rubbing alcohol, and of course doodling. Thank you so much for this video 😄😄

[@creationsceecee]

awesome, i'm glad you've enjoyed it! thanks and have a lovely weekend.

[@ramonalee1]

I absolutely love this! I’ve seen Vicky Papaioannou touch the sticky parts when it’s not completely dry, with a foil sheet. It looks great to have the foil in all those random spots and really highlights the piece. I really want to try this doodling over the color. Thanks.

[@rose-lynnemcdougall7386]

First tutorial I have see on alcohol inks and I really enjoyed what you did. Thanks.

[@juliehenze1103]

Absolutely love you work and you enthusiastic attitude while you work!

[@judilynn9569]

I'm always looking for more freeform alcohol ink painting (as opposed to just lots of circles). I love what you're doing.

[@happybudgiesify]

Wow! I just happened upon this after using yup paper in a watercolor class. I LOVE your work!!

[@marlenediaz7275]

VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL AND I HAD A GOOD TIME TOO LISTENING TO YOUR JOY OF CREATING AND DISCOVERING,THANKS

[@bodyofhope]

I so appreciate seeing you express your joy for your art!

[@dotalinadavis7557]

Gees this alcohol painting would be beautiful framed. You are fabulous at doodling on this style of artwork. I’m going to have to give it a try on larger yupo paper than the small stuff I have. I think you get a better feel for designing (somewhat!) an idea. Fabulous!

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

I really enjoy working with alcohol ink and like you, I love doodling. I get lost in it, very zen for me. It's how I relax my mind. I've learned so much more from you and am inspired to get going on it again.

[@creationsceecee]

yes, we all have our happy place in art, don't we?! have a wonderful weekend!

[@boppagramme8308]

Thank you for your delightful videos. You have such a gift for “seeing” things with The painting and bringing them to life with the detail. Can’t wait to try this to technique and experiment with the paints and markers

[@carolyngolding1095]

CeeCee - this was fabulous. Very inspiring. It looks like something that will be good not only for my creativity but for my SOUL!!! Thank you for this really informative cllip.

[@creationsceecee]

ART is soul-fulfilling for sure. thanks and have a wonderful time creating!

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

I love your enthusiasm in this piece. I enjoy doodling, when I can't sleep I have a lil book I work in. You make me want to try a couple inks.

[@creationsceecee]

oooh, you've given me a wonderful idea. i should keep a little book by my bedside instead of counting sheeps. thanks and have a wonderful weekend!

[@Scrapitydoodah]

Gorgeous. I also love to do this. The results are always so random and pretty. I usually use the Pitt pens and I have also used a white pigma micron. If you leave them to dry thoroughly they don't smudge xx

[@creationsceecee]

that's good to know, Lynn. i was afraid i would smudge the lines before the ink had time to dry. that's why i opted for the Microperm. better safe than sorry :-) have a lovely weekend!

[@debrafishpaw381]

wow! I love it! painting, doodling is my life and you’ve inspired me to add alcohol inks.... great tutorial, kkep up the good work👍

[@sharonnesvog4269]

+creationsceecee ....This art piece is absolutely spectacular!!! I literally felt your excitement and was smiling ear to ear when you were still in the creation mode and dropping alcohol ink onto your Yupo Paper!! ☺ I just adore working with my Adirondack Alcohol Inks....they are SO MUCH fun! I haven't tried doodling on them yet...but you have inspired me with this piece!! Thank you for sharing Catherine!! ☺

[@christinegiroux8471]

what you made is beautiful! I love the added drawing/doodling with the black pens. I think I will try this sometime!

[@rgrdesigns]

Absolutely gorgeous and what a treat to watch on a sick day at home from work. You have inspired me to dig out my supplies when I'm feeling better. I don't have that marker. I think I will experiment with my fountain pen document ink and give it a try. I'm obsessed with fountain pens and inks.

[@creationsceecee]

hey Regina! oh, i'm obsessed with fountain pens too but i have yet to master it. i was fortunate enough to be given a whole bunch of pens and ink and i can't wait to experiment. i hope you feel better soon. x

[@rgrdesigns]

creationsceecee I saw that post and admit to feeling a little envy.

[@socalnocal1]

Try using a paint pen for your detailing! They come in various colors and STAY. Your work is stunning. Thanks for sharing.

[@gracelerch6462]

This is lovely therapy! I love to work with ink and details and created the unknown. You are in my heart! Continue doing this. You are great! Thank You!

[@lesleypearce6119]

at 22:30 - next time try circles outside the red circle - will give more detail and you preserve those pretty ink boundaries - ty for the inspiration and for sharing your beautiful work

[@patriziacathey605]

Lovely use of this medium! You have such a wonderful eye for composition and you have crazy good skill with a pen.Thanks for the inside look into your process!

[@creationsceecee]

thank you so very much, Patrizia, and have a lovely weekend!

[@piafrantti3389]

Just beautiful... I find it so relaxing watching these videos. And get so inspired thinking I can do it, NOT that easy u really have a eye creating art 🤗. Thank you for inspiring us novices😂

[@patriciafranklin3991]

Fantastic! Thank you. I have inks and yup just need the medium and I can get started. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@lesliev7874]

Memorizing. Stunning work of art.

[@veritysmart]

Great video. Uni-ball pens work too. I've used the white pen so far.

[@creationsceecee]

thank you. i am having a hard time with my white uni-ball gel pen. it was always streaks or skips. that is why i always resort to my paint markers for white.

[@lyndaspillman1555]

I found it mesmerizing to watch...meditative almost. Very nice.

[@lorimcgarrity2146]

great job. You don't see that many people using paint brushes with the inks but you got great affects. Will have to start trying that.

[@MMGARC]

This was so much FUN!! Loved watching you have so much FUN too! Mine always come out looking like a war zone - you gave me some great idea's with the alcohol Ink and brush to get more control. Thanks, CeeCee

[@karenkirby2968]

Can't wait to get some alcohol inks!!! I admire your artwork and thank you for sharing. Congrats on your being published.

Just when I think that you are finished you add another color beautiful

[@catherinebond7474]

I'm just discovering your videos. Started with your "top 10". Love this one. I love the bright vibrant colors of alcohol inks. Before you started to draw with the black pen the image reminded me of looking up at a Dale Chihuly ceiling. 😀

[@biancadesilets2285]

I have some alcohol inks and yupo paper sitting around for 3 years ... it's time I got them out and have some fun just like you do. :)

[@elizabethgoodhand7828]

So pretty the colours are beautiful and creative doodling. I am wondering if you could get similar results with Indian inks as not crazy about using alcohol inks although I do like the results.
