color theory: how to mix watercolors **for beginners

[@gruvee]

I swore, all my life, that I would never ever do Watercolour. I also cannot draw to save my life. I've been doing collage and mixed media, and decided to try out zentangles, which led me to various videos, which led me to someone doing doodles with watercolour, and she referenced you... ... and I am so grateful to have found you. It's been 3 days and I've started my Watercolour journey, that's soothing and challenging at the same time, thanks to you.

[@lizdouglas1952]

I consider CeeCee as my art teacher, and inspiration in watercolor painting. Her creations are amazing. She truly has that calming effect because in watercolors it can be fun or torture, and she gives you hope. I love this painting! Gold rocks!! I'm so happy to have become a Patreon member. 😘💖🤎

[@gruvee]

I feel the same

[@ayishaq]

I didn’t think it would be possible to create a video that would be educational and so calming at the same time. This was blissful!

[@shartzstein]

I totally agree with you

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Likewise. Just a joy following this channel. 🖤

[@lindafreda9695]

CeeCee there are so many tutorials on KZbin, and yours inspire creativity the best. Love your joy of painting and discovery. 💖

[@mumstheword8851]

What a wonderful video and a gorgeous piece of art, CeeCee!! I was afraid I would nod off at one point 😨 Obviously not from boredom but the peace you radiate with your music and gentle brush strokes. Oh my! Thanks for sharing the technical stuff. I love the palette. 💛

[@jonihorn6515]

CeeCee, I have been following you on KZbin for about 4 years. I must thank you for being so generous by continuing to post your videos. I get so excited when I see a new post from you as I know it will be educational, inspiring, beautiful, calming and fun. You are a sweet person with a kind heart. Thank you so much!😊

[@백화-i3x]

This comment is my mind,too. But I m not good at English so I couldn't express enough. Thank you ^^ from Korea ~~♡

[@wphlea]

A wonderful way to relax is to watch you create

[@kathyakadragonflysmiles301]

So simple but so elegant. I have a very different feeling doing this rather than when I just paint swatches of the mixes.

[@creationsceecee]

thanks, Kathy! it's all about having fun while experimenting, right?! wishing you a beautiful sunday, my friend. xx

[@beckyess7399]

I love watercolor but haven’t mastered it by a long shot. I learned so much from this video alone, after watching numerous beginner videos from others. Finally found someone who demonstrates more on tints and shades vs. just adding more water or more pigment. Thank you! I love the outcome, by the way! Beautiful!

[@krystlekane9874]

Agree! She’s awesome!

[@francesilnicky-vanameyden1975]

I couldn't agree more!

[@maureenkyle2530]

You’d think I would have learned by now that I need to get my other tasks done on Saturday. Once I watch your Sunday morning video, all I want to do is paint! ❤️

[@creationsceecee]

LOL thank you for the smiles!

[@krystlekane9874]

Relatable!❤️

[@iceblue1457]

Sounds like me, Maureen.

[@AC-cg3bv]

Love, love,love this one. Beautiful in it's simplicity. Also love the Canadian/French lilt..very soothing . Thank you again 😊

[@Rita123xyz]

Love your pie chart with the gold!!

[@kaarinponsford1136]

Stunning. Such a ‘simple’ painting but wow, the skill. I was soothed watching and delighted with the result

[@maureenkennedy6699]

Is there a tutorial on how yow worked in your workbook before you did this piece for us I would love to see and listen to it.

[@LizatHome]

You are so very, very inspirational. I just love listening to you talk and your gentle and motivating presence warms my heart and gets my creative juices flowing.

[@karenpierce1905]

I love how you pushed yourself, as you always so, to bring your devoted fans something new. Thank you for sharing.

[@maureendaunt8665]

I am more of a realistic watercolour painter, not a doodler, but I still love and admire your work. You bring such joy to the medium and teach me to remember how to play. Which is so fun and therapeutic. Your voice is sooo.... calming. Thank you so much ❤️

[@cathybrillhart3890]

I love color mixing, and what a fun way to do it. I must try this with 3 primaries that I like.

[@elsad5680]

CeeCee, I have a new addiction that's more satisfying than chocolate. IT'S YOU!! Your calming voice and gentle humor while guiding all of us through your artistic, creative and BEAUTIFUL painting has uplifted me through this difficult year. I feel I've been rescued and am inspired to try my hand at watercolor painting. You and yours stay healthy, blessed and safe.

[@GM-yn9nc]

WOW, words fail me. This is the most amazing color theory demo in watercolor ever. You inspire. Thank you.

[@nataliekruger]

Wow! This was a beautiful way to play with colours. Loved the colours, the wavy lines and gold circles. Thank you for sharing this process with us. Would love to see a video on how you did the colour wheel too. You are a big inspiration to us. Hugs from South Africa 🤗🧡❤💛🦋💐

[@deannamunro8148]

THIS is a perfect example of why I follow your art and am a patreon. I loved the whole process, the colours used and of course, the gold at the end with your doodles. Must do this myself!! Thank you CeeCee.

[@janicemoio5768]

The touch of gold just makes the whole piece pop! I love circles and do natural coffee stains with my coffee cup to distress my writing paper. I love snail mail and write letters but I want each experience of receiving one of my notes or cards to be unique and not a cookie-cutter style. I love your work👍💖☕

[@vanessap9124]

I am such a fan. I am taking your advice to play with my paints more. Being a COVID survivor, this is so calming. I have had residual headaches and your videos are very calming. Thank you

[@barbhayes5613]

This is a perfect project for learning about a color triad - and the best use of a small ceramic palette yet! Thank you for the inspiration - you've gotten me out of a rut SO many times! Cheers!

[@juliasaunders2165]

This was way more effective than an hours worth of therapy! So glad to have found you whilst looking for 'watercolour pattern making'. Thank you.

[@Shilo2020]

What a fun way to practice making different shades and tints! I will add it to my "to create" list!

[@kinoycapielo8419]

Gracias señor Evans

[@gillianjf260]

Enjoy wouldn’t begin to describe my delight and wonder at this exercise. Stunning. Your control is breathtaking. Love, love,love it. Will watch many times. I had to smile when your brush dipped into the gold but it made the painting burst with life. Thank you so much.

[@barbarahowarth4953]

Very beautiful. The colour wheel study looks interesting too. Would you please consider doing a video on how to choose colours and create a colour study?

[@seahorse5689]

Wonderful, as always.

[@kerrieblowes3503]

Thankyou CeeCee. I love the music you chose for this video too. So lovely to watch and listen too.

[@KateintheDesert]

I love love love this video. There is something about the simplicity of it that drew me to it. The mixing of just three colors and black that really shows you don’t need a lot of colors to create an amazing watercolor painting. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. Katie

[@IridescentJen]

i'm only halfway through but had to mention how much i love that first blended color of red and green. it's wonderful! somehow both warm and cool, and still red *and* green at the same time. what a brilliant mix it created

[@francesilnicky-vanameyden1975]

Thank you telling us how you achieved values, and warmth/coolness.

[@sculptor210]

What a fun exercise and beautiful painting! Be well. 🌞

[@dianadevlin3717]

Such confident strokes! I'm like a tortoise 😆

[@angelaschultz4700]

Everything is so perfect here, CeeCee.... your lesson, colours, your voice, your choice of music and the outcome. Thankyou so much!

[@donnafuller3029]

I love this! Thank you! 😊

[@juliepackham5156]

So relaxing to watch, yet so informative. I am a complete novice trying to get to grips with watercolours and all forms of mediums.. this was wonderful to watch. Thank you. Just love your style.

[@CDek-gr5wh]

This is a great exercise to help my daughter (8y.o.) slow down in her work. Ill try this on, thank you for this inspiration!

[@marquesn77]

I watch your videos to help relax me after a long stressful day at work, thank you so much I appreciate all of your work and sacrifices to make these videos 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@vivaldirules]

Pleasing, calming, delightful, entrancing, and simple. Thank you, my dear. :)

[@lindaking9222]

A great exercise to play with paints..endless possibilities with colours

[@mzkatbee463]

This is one my favorites. I can keep watching this over and over again.

[@cathyphegley7848]

I found this very helpful as I am just getting back into painting. I also like to pull forward when I paint….it flows more evenly and is less stress on my arm and shoulder.💕

[@mariachan5969]

Beautiful layout 💕

[@kathleen4811]

I’ve recently started watching your videos. This is one of my favorite so far. I love color and the nuances with just these three are incredible.

[@chrislogsdon4441]

Oh Cee Cee you never cease to amaze me with your beautiful paintings!!! Thank you and by the way I love the music too!!

[@kschickle916]

I’m so obsessed with this one. I hope I can achieve something even close to this.

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

I have a watercolor set that I’ve been too afraid to use. This video gives me a starting point. I haven’t tuned in much this year. It thrills me to see how much you’ve grown as an artist from your days of card making. Thank you.

[@melindaavila498]

What a pleasure to watch! I find your sessions very relaxing. Much needed here in the states.

[@TheMamadel1]

Love the pallet of colors.

[@aprilstark8887]

This is surely one of the best of your videos I've seen!

[@carolineritchey8139]

Nice metallic nails to match! 😀 I am feeling a little inspired to do a few color studies of my own!

[@collyTan0613]

Wow that color palette is so beautiful! I’m struggling a bit with finding pleasant color combinations. But I will not give up and I what to thank you for all the inspiration you given me. I have grown so much in my artistic endeavors since I found your channel. Thank you again! 💕

[@samanthaglorioso8440]

I love this video, and I love the doodles! You have freed me up in a way no one else has inspired me to do. I am mostly a landscape painter, along with florals, trees and leaves. I try to keep it loose, but never thought to doodle! Oh, the joy! Thank you so much!

[@soniazawacki5459]

Thanks for your calm and inspirational videos! I love watching what you create...it inspires me to try new things. (I really love these colors together!)

[@glorianeiman726]

Thank you Ceecee. Interesting color combinations. After three years I'm still trying to understand the water and how much is too much and then too much pigment if not enough water.

[@tonym9635]

You have the most soothing voice EVER!!! I stumbled upon your channel and what a treat. Great video keep up the fantastic work.

[@theresawatamaniuk6930]

brillant idea for a colour study...and gorgeous painting...bonus!!! sooo love this!

[@debbieekes5718]

I love your tutorials SO much. Love the restful ness of them and speed. I always learn so much.

[@k8marlowe]

I have been obsessing over coolish grays and warmer neutrals, including metallic gold, lately. I know they’re past their moment, in terms of interior decor, etc. but, I relate with you on the calming appeal of those colors together. This has been such an enjoyable exercise! Thanks so much!

[@rainbarber7657]

This has to be the most on time video ever. I recently created a Pinterest board of palette that only consists of 3 to 4 colors simply to push myself to play with my paints more. I figured it would allow me to play without stress. This video was exactly what I needed!!! Another fabulous video CeeCee. Thank you for always being so open.

[@IridescentJen]

that's a great idea! i'm getting near the end of my first set of watercolors, it was the 36 pan MeiLiang set (which is quite nice for student paints) and now trying to hand pick a small selection of artist grade paints. i want to be able to learn more by creating from a limited palette. this video is a perfect reminder that less can open the door to more, creatively speaking. and perhaps in all things :)

[@liaknijnik1330]

Thanks always, CeeCee. I was demotivated until now... now I want to grab my paints and play !🤗 and everything you do looks so beautiful! 🌸

[@vikkifossum4959]

I love the way you think!!!

[@monicaw5057]

I absolutely loved this. So fun, informative and calming. Cannot wait to try this. Thank you CeeCee!

[@brendajuarez6811]

So beautiful. I love the colors

[@susanphend2189]

This is so beautiful! This art and you make me smile.

[@monalcreates]

That is so beautiful twin!! And as usual I love your video! It is so relaxing to watch you create and hearing your soothing voice! Just what I needed! Thanks for sharing!! Wish you a wonderful cretative coming week!! Stay safe and healthy!! xx

[@creationsceecee]

thank you twin! i hope your sunday is all that you want it to be :-) xx

[@monalcreates]

@@creationsceecee Not exactly twin.... :( Am in such pain.... Toothache. I really hope my dentist can squeeze me in tomorrow! This pain is driving me crazy.... Hope your Sunday is wonderful! xx

[@jenniferarted3652]

Beautiful color pallet. You are much needed inspiration today!

[@pamelaarcos1594]

Wow 😍 I love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@debraviccars7584]

Absolutely love Daniel Smith Cascade Green - it's my number one favourite. I agree that beautiful neutrals (not mud!) can be created mixing complementary colours. Transparent Red Oxide is on my list to purchase.

[@suebarner8364]

Always a wonderful way to start the day. Thank you!

[@ArtwithAhra]

peaceful drawing 💛💛

[@shelleyscloud3651]

Nearly commented on how beautiful your French pronunciation is but then remembered you’re a native speaker! ☺️ I’m going to give this a try. I’m just learning and you are my greatest inspiration! Thank you for all the work you put into sharing with us 💐

[@lisaainscough2465]

This is so lovely and I love the waves of colours that you have created. Those golden circles are just so luxurious. Cheers Lisa

[@lindalinda-vp6bv]

So lovely...I'd like to try this too....but ya know, I could watch YOU paint for hours...so calming...Thanks !!

[@bmt3506]

You are so generous with your knowledge and experience. Thank you so much for sharing.

It looks fine the combination of gold with those background, congrats from Guatemala

[@viviancattaneo1474]

Beautiful and inspiring

[@christinamoxon]

What a beautiful, relaxing exercise. I love this one. Thank you. I also like how you turned it into an artwork with simple shapes. I'll have to give this a go.

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Beautiful Ceecee, thank you!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Loved everything about this video!!! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge and for sharing this lovely painting!!! Stay well, blessings!!!

[@enricaandreis2049]

oh thank you very much...you are so inspiring me, simply with your love for colours

[@carmennunez715]

It was a very beautiful, eye opening and inspiring video. Your painting turned out beautiful. I smiled when I saw the gold it would not be one of your painting without a touch of gold but it did add a perfect touch to the painting.

[@tanjam.-k.2693]

It's amazing 😍 Looks like sand and water, fantastic!

[@mbtvalli]

That looked fun!

[@debbierheault6552]

So enjoyable and relaxing to watch and learning at the same time! Thank you.

[@susanmary4752]

This was incredibly educational!! Made so much sense as you put the colours next to each other to show the variations in diluting, mixing etc. Thanks for sharing your incredible wealth of knowledge and skill!

[@kellyhalligan1328]

Very helpful, I’m going to try this.

[@ludmillabogdan4728]

Dear Cee Cee, I have just discovered your channel but was instantly inspired! Love your earthy nutural colors, schemes, ideas, literally everything. I cannot wait to go out and buy whatever I can find to start doodling. Thank you for being there. Love it, love it, love it!!!

[@mazielposada]

I love it... 😍 Very simple and gorgeous 💗💗💗

[@bluepen61]

Interesting, the gold is quite opaque. Interesting practice and techniques! When mixing the green and the black, would it have been easier to start with the green and the dab in the black? Just a thought. Thank you for sharing this.

[@quilter1958]

I love your videos. Informative and soothing

[@phylliswhitaker3994]

I find this so interesting and relaxing. Can't wait to work with 3 colors and do this!

[@wulfseig1864]

I finally watched this video. I bought a sketch book for all my color swatching. I have a book for color charts already but having a sketchbook that I can mix and mingle colors and brands is very nice. This video is so inspiring. Thanks Cee Cee

[@catherinedidomenico814]

Thank you for this! I needed it tonight; so completely relaxing. Now I just want to paint!

[@mariajoao4144]

So beautifull.... love the colours and design.... less is more indeed

[@lynalexandre9551]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the work that you do and it’s such a great pleasure to watch you create these beautiful pieces of art - thank you for sharing it all with us xx
