Love the idea of an Inventory of Doodles"! 7:16 What a clever idea to bind them together with the ring to keep them accessible! Your voice is soothing and explanations so helpful. I hope you will return to making videos again, but I realize the stress that can cause over time. You are a treasure and please know that you are appreciated for your hard work and beautiful art creations!

[@digitalgrammy9978]

Why is it that when you randomly put down colors in a carefree manner, they look great and when I try to do things like you do, mine look like a mess??? Guess that’s the difference between an artist and a beginner. I’m not giving up, though. Hopefully some day mine will look a little better. My grandkids think I do a great job, so I do have a few fans. ;)

[@NinaHansen2008]

I have a mixed media journal which is terrible for watercolor so I use it like a scrapbook. I do my doodles and other small paintings on pieces of decent paper and use double sided tape to adhere the art into the book. This gives me an inventory of ideas for future paintings.

[@paulasherrod6835]

Your doodles are gorgeous and its mesmerizing to watch! So relaxing. In this time of stress in our world you bring a bright light with you work and soothing voice....thank you!

[@PatriseHenkel]

I’ve been painting oranges over & over so these look like fruit to me. This painting honors the minerals that color our world- gold, iron, ochre, our beautEarth! 😎❤️

[@CupcakeCottage]

That is gorgeous. You really should consider scanning and having these printed as abstract wall art. I bet you’d sell a ton.

[@angelalobos3495]

Please do it!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@lonironi3754]

I would love to make all my own art work in my next Home.

[@HeatherValentineMsFoodie]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ 💯

[@judyhobday4760]

I am left handed and my mind does not understand what is going watching a right handed artist. Sounds strange I know. But no matter, you are so free and my admiration is to the sky. When my husband was alive he wanted my art to be realistic and did not understand that I preferred my own style. He was a good man and built me my own studio.

[@juliao1255]

I agree with all the wonderful comments, and want to add that you have attracted a following of kind, positive, and appreciative people, which makes reading the comments a pleasure, and which reflects the person who you are. Kudos on all levels.

[@sharondavis6775]

The ring binder of doodles is brilliant!! I love that and will give it a go. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

[@sonmayab]

can you share few of doole in the ring-binder. It's a great idea!

[@tijananastasic]

Thank you for inspiring me and my daughter of 7, to be relaxed and doodle with you! Greetings from lock down in Serbia

[@lindaking9222]

Really like this..the circles,dots,gold with this colour palette....good idea to have a handy repertoire of doodle designs

[@floralheart]

I can't get enough of this Gold... Beautiful story. He's coming. Thanks for the prayer.

[@wisewomanhealing]

Winsor Newton has a gold metallic ink you might like. It needs to be shaken very well before using. Then, after it has dried, you can burnish it and make it look like gold leaf. I love to watch the glitter flakes swirl around after it has been shaken. They are beautiful to watch.

[@creationsceecee]

thank you for the tip! i'm intrigued and will investitage.

[@sallysanford8223]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PAINTING!!! THE COLORS ARE MY FAVORITES!!

[@krismua1209]

Love this! The gold is gorgeous.

[@mindakahn9964]

I don’t know what I’d do without your doodles. This home bound life after cabin fever is actually making me lethargic. You’re making me move. Thank you for all of your uploads. It means so much. I don’t have all of the supplies, wonder of wonders. I need new pens. FYI Dick Blick has been having great sales daily. Thanks again, stay safe and healthy.

[@scmarih]

Oh Ceci, love this so much. Your laughter is refreshing and says so much about you. I love your channel and thank you for sharing your creative soul with us. Where can we share our own creations?

[@favoritemommy74]

Love this. The gold thing...it’s not a problem. Who doesn’t love a little gold?

[@toddlisasmith9512]

Could you make a video specifically about the doodle inventory? I’d love to see more!

[@jeaniebradshaw350]

I hadn't seen you lately and I missed your wonderful art . Happy to see you there again!

[@annabelleavila6593]

I just love to watch you create!!! Your work is so beautiful and you are soothing to listen to. Now if I could just put some paint to paper! I feel so intimidated but on a good note I ordered the gold and silver paints that you use and am anxiously awaiting their arrival!! Thanks for sharing 🤗🥰

[@TheDabshear]

If I could only put into words how much your demonstrations mean to me... I am inspired by your words and by you sharing your passion for creating art. I hope you continue to share as I know so many of us look forward to seeing you create. Thank you, I will be joining as a Patreon member very soon!

[@shabnacader]

This absolutely beautiful!!! Gonna try to do something similar tomorrow - thank you for uploading this!!! So inspired!!

[@FaerieDust]

Lovely - easy and fun, exactly what I need in my life right now. I have a very hard time doodling, but I'm practicing 👍 About salt: it's not so much the quality of the paint, I think, it just varies a lot between colors. Kind of like how some paints are more granulating or staining than others, not a quality issue but just different properties of the pigments and formulations. Dr Oto Kano has a Daniel Smith comparison series here on KZbin where she tests out properties of similar colors in the Daniel Smith range, including how they react to gauze and salt techniques. It's super interesting, and sometimes colors that look almost identical will have wildly different reactions!

[@creationsceecee]

thank you for the tip! i will look out for that.

[@carolflinn2070]

So beautiful. I love the doodles. I'm always afraid to do much with the markers, afraid I'll mess up a decent painting with messed up doodles. Sigh. Practice makes confidence. You make it look so effortless.

[@debr3352]

I love dots and circles also.. . Your doodles are so gorgeous, and looking at your pieces are so happy and relaxing. I just spent an hour and made one for myself. So much fun!!!

[@janice24oc]

The circle in Blue looks like a snow globe. Love this.

[@valerieb8006]

Looking at this gives me a happy feeling! Lovely!!!

[@barbaralassiter259]

I'm going to try this but your top circle reminds me of a nautilus shell and that's what I'm going for! Thanks for the continued inspiration!

[@OneTrueWord1988]

I felt so peaceful watching you draw and paint, and your voice is very calming. Thank you for helping me to feel less anxious. 💕

[@lindaroberts2282]

[@nicciattard3822]

I love this. I'm keen to start using water colours for the first time but always feel pressure to have to create a 'proper' painting if you see what I mean. This has inspired me soooooo much to just create work that makes me happy. X

[@Corazonrouge]

Just found you this week...I’ve been using your technique for circles, but I see mine as auras then doodle a little person in each one. I just love your soothing style and want to thank you for the little burst of inspiration you sparked in me.

[@ValerieTeede]

I love your work . So gentle.

[@christinebell8980]
