Thank you so much! I went in to talk to my husband earlier today and told him I was going to stop trying to watercolor. I didn’t have the talent, blah, blah, blah... He convinced me to just relax and play, and then I found this tutorial! This was sooo much fun!!! I sent a pic of what I painted to my daughter and now she wants one! Thanks for bringing the joy back for me! You are a blessing!

[@annenglish2935]

Good for you! Had you done any painting previously?... I haven't but will try soon! Have fun... enjoy the journey 🌺

[@rtb03791]

Hi what watercolour are you using I'm thinking of buying some cotman watercolour

[@neridadamas1649]

Oh no. Dont stop. Try decent good paper

[@zzzz3190]

SAME SAME!! I got so disgusted trying to use watercolor that I gave up. This seems so simple even *I* can do it. I HOPE

[@consueloyoung4484]

I love florals but always get so caught up in making them perfect!. Your tutorial is very helpful because your flowers are perfection but take no time at all to create something unique and meaningful. ❤

[@virginiabegg1008]

Thank you! I am 65 and just starting to try and learn watercolor. You've giving me something so fun to practice!

[@andreafruggiero4496]

I'm 73 and just starting - very exciting and Ceecee makes it looks so easy and uncomplicated. My sweet husband just bought me some supplies (surprise!) so I'm ready to go!

[@nadinebauer4044]

I am 70 and brand new to watercolor; this video inspired me so much. I think I can do this. Thank you !!

[@marlenevincent6019]

Thank you I loved watching your chanel so many hints , I am a very new beginner, 74 year old female , have wanted to do art painting & drawing since I was a very small girl. But alas Mother told me no I had to get work & artist's never make anything so will always be poor , lol nothing changed so at 18 years got married had a family of 6 children , time goes by . Now lost my Darling , it is time for me.

[@mandy.austin]

my mother used to tell me my art was a form of violence hahaha she hated it but after she died i was able to start.

[@photadyta]

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope painting brings you some peace and relaxation. I took art as a major in my first two years of college because I didn’t know what to do yet. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and a very naive commitment. I’m too much of a perfectionist to just let it flow. Now I sit here during quarantine with twenty year old watercolors that need to be used.

[@mandy.austin]

@@photadyta in some ways this time is a blessing.

[@marybirder5663]

@Marlene Vincent So sorry to hear you lost your sweetheart and that your mother wasn't more supportive of your art. Not that you need permission, but I surely hope you've bought plenty of art supplies and are now painting whenever you want. It's never too late to have a go and as you said---"It is time for me". I really wish CeeCee would have responded to your comment with some words of encouragement, but you'll notice she doesn't take the time to respond to many people at all under any of the video's she posts. Sadly, too often we don't always get a second chance with a missed opportunity. I hope you are well, Cheers Marlene!

[@suranjabarat5457]

Hi Marlene, I don't know if you'll read this comment but if you come by it, sending you hugs ❤️ I hope in these 6 months you have continued the art journey and finally having fun.. 😊 take care!!!

[@SHEEEW]

Thank you for this tutorial!!! I did these flowers and added a little cartoon angel hanging amongst the flowers representing my cousin who just died at 41. Her husband messaged me that the picture brought him to tears and asked for 3 more. Nothing more rewarding than that. 🙏🏼❤

[@jacquehranica2150]

It’s now 2023 and I’m so happy I found you. These tips and instructions are exactly what I’ve been searching for. Thanks for sharing.

[@soulsearchmedia]

I am so happy you taught how to do these, I paint them all the time and love them. They are so easy and can be so pretty!

[@wholeheartedlyforthelord2290]

I’m so glad I found your channel. You make it look easy and explain where non artists can get it.

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

The secret I’ve found about Watercolor painting is “ Let the watercolor do what it wants to do with very little interference from me “ . Very beautiful example of just that 🥰 !

[@w50mf1f]

*Tracy Born Again Farm Girl You are absolutely right! We want to interfere and make it perfect, but perfect comes from letting the magic happen!

[@geslinam9703]

Very true...but one needs to try to have a little bit of control, a general plan. I guess it comes with just knowing the medium, and knowing what may happen, then making those things work for you.

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

It’s all about the individual artists Geslina M , like I have a very heavy hand so I may need to dip a bit less in water than others 🤷🏻‍♀️ .

[@geslinam9703]

*Tracy Born Again Farm Girl oh yes, i see that. I wasn’t contradicting you. It’s definitely an individual thing. I work in a very realist style, so I have to plan carefully - and I’m no expert with WC. It’s a medium I’ve really struggled with. It’s hard to fix major mistakes, and good watercolor paper ain’t cheap!

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

That never crossed my mind dear Geslina M , we all learn from one another . Keeping only what works for you is what makes artists unique 🥰 , happy creating !

[@susanjaneritter]

YOU’VE REALLY HIT ON SOMETHING NIFTY HERE, CEECEE...LOVE THESE FLORALS...THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!

I mainly do watercolor in my cards but more defined. I was excited to see how I could branch out and try my hand at painting my own flowers and not use a rubber stamp. I love how yours turned out.

Thank you! I’m just starting with WCs and must say you are very patient and easy to follow with good results.

Spent all day practising these. Love them

[@lindahensley5711]

I'm going to try this shortly. So delicate and beautiful. Thank you for the lesson and inspiration. I just did a couple simple paintings and was the first time I used watercolors since I was a kid painting in my coloring books. O have recently been inspired to try new things.

[@patriciastreufert9636]

Looks so pretty. Will need to rewatch and try this myself.

Wow I love these! The video came at a perfect time as I wanted to make a bday card for my friend. Thank you!💜

[@user-uu7tj5bq3x]

Thank you for showing this in real time, "mistakes and all" - this taught me not to freak out and trash my picture every time something happens that I didn't plan. If I did this exact method and "mistakes" in the past I would have started over about 5 times and given up on the last one, believing I could never do it! You give me hope ♡♡♡

[@iceblue1457]

It's beautiful in a fragile kind of way. I'll see if I could do something like that too. You have a very light touch. Thank you for demonstrating how to do it.

Just beautiful and I love your relaxed style. Very encouraging and I appreciate you keeping the "mistakes" there so that it's very REAL!!!

[@SophieBird07]

First time I’ve held a watercolor brush in all my 68 yrs. You are so inspiring. The big trick for me is when I finish I put my attempts aside and when I come back a few hours later I don’t hate it so much, as when comparing it to your skills, and can then see what I still need to work on, so I’m re-inspired to keep trying. You have added new dimensions to my retirement years!
