Never apologize for creativity, no matter where it takes you. Your talent always shines through. Stay inspired!

[@conniecorbett474]

So right on!

[@marypluto467]

love the shading with pencils...more..please

[@ImeldaFagin]

We also learn how to work in new ways, unexpected ways. More please

[@cherylcullen9087]

Amen!

[@SuperVeeveez]

Exactly!! I really enjoyed it too

[@LauraRumble]

I shudder to think of the abusive/negative comments you must have endured previously to have apologised so much in your voice over 😞 Such a beautiful artwork

[@joywildman9876]

Yes! That’s what I was thinking while listening.... made me sad when I get sooo much out of watching and listening to you Ceecee - whatever kind of art you are doing.

[@stardustparchment]

I feel sorry for those people who downvote such lovely content or have the hubris to leave negative comments, for they are stuck living with their miserable selves...

[@solovjud]

Rose Sicard I went to check, & yes, downvotes! What is wrong with people? It’s beyond me to understand that action....

[@LisaMyEclecticLife]

I loved watching you coax the leaves and flowers out into the open with your colored pencils. I am glad you did what the painting wanted.

[@lindamarsh6711]

My Granddaughter would be thrilled with the pencil art. I recently gave her a large set of good pencils. I gave her paints etc too. I have the same micro pens. I took up pen and ink in my 20s, acrylic painting in my 30’s, then a mixture of the too and now I am into watercolor, and multimedia. I also cut out wooden Christmas ornaments when my energy is up. I’m in my early 70s now and work on something every day. I sometimes refinish antique furniture when it’s warm enough in the garage. Keeping busy keeps the pain levels down. Enjoy your life! ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇦

[@lindablackerby9819]

Know that I’m always interested in seeing whatever art your intuition tells you to create. It doesn’t have to be for ‘everyone’ nor does it have to be doodling. I’m following you to see where your creativity takes you, not for easy projects. Keep doing what you love!

[@lorettahead6114]

Never apologize for your art. It's yours. It's beautiful. Your expression. If anyone has a problem it's their problem.

[@ginahats8736]

I adore this and would love to see more like it since I’m not all that great at doodling. This is absolutely spectacular! ❤️❤️❤️

[@alanalendvay6131]

ditto!

[@rentedtux1883]

This is one of the most beautiful things you've shown us.

[@MoonSpinners]

Your art style, and what you convey, is to “just go with it” being free and easy and relaxed. This may not have been a doodle, but the feeling was the same, you did what the piece was calling out for, so don’t worry, it was beautiful, and not technical at all. 🤗🇬🇧

[@barbarasalmi3103]

I have been inspired by your art for years, CeeCee, and you always manage to surprise and inspire me. Thank you for all you do for aspiring watercolorists like me.

[@lindamcgrew3385]

Stunning! And “YES” to sharing your knowledge on colored pencils. So appreciative of all that you share.

[@tinaschmidtsart]

I agree with M A. this is your work and what you do! You don't owe anything to anyone! Generous enough to share your hundreds of hours and beautiful videos! Thank you, thank you! This did come out quite spectacular! 😍💖👍👏👏👏

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

I love this piece. I'm not here just for the doodling. I've been subscribed for many years. Not always around as much as I'd like. Last two years adjusting to my husband's passing. I enjoy all your creative works. Keep them coming (even two years later it's wonderful). Thank you for opening other avenues of creation.

[@Halonablack]

Wow! So amazing how the watercolor started out looking kind of like red dandelions, then turned into tulips and roses once you removed the plastic wrap. Such an exciting technique.

[@marialuis3101]

Everything you do has an ethereal quality to it. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[@creationsceecee]

Wow, thank you! i appreciate that because i've never really thought of my art that way but it's something i've always admired in other people's art.

[@candymills9446]

Ceecee I wish you hadn't felt the need to apologize for this piece of art. It is absolutely stunning! You could say you doodled with the Saran wrap if you really must. I loved seeing it evolve. I am here for the art work - not the doodles only. Such a different piece and really awesome.

[@dinae9479]

I think this texture with plastic wrap and color pencils it s incredible great ! I'm really interest in more tutorials from you. Thank you !

[@maizydaizy22]

Love it! Don’t ever let “expectations” of others influence your artistic decisions! I think most of us love to watch whatever it is you create🥰

[@bonlynx]

This is gorgeous. I like the yellow. I like how the background made a diamond shape. I like the shading. I like the little highlights. I'm a silver fan so I don't miss the gold lol. I'm not here for doodles, I'm here for whatever you want to show us. I like seeing your process of deciding how to handle whatever the paint decides to do. I like seeing different approaches to things. I like seeing artists try new things. Yep, no complaints here. I understand wanting or needing to stick to "a brand" or what the majority of subscribers like but I really love artists that are just their authentic selves and not like super curating their content. So thank you for showing us your different stuff, your oopses, etc.

[@amandafraser8658]

I couldn’t have worded that better myself. I fully agree.

[@carolebarton776]

This is so lovely! And so creative. And the background music sounded like a classy piano bar!

[@sandrinekirkaldy1900]

Stunning result😍😍😍. CC, don't over think things too much ( what people will think, what people are expecting blah, blah, blah) you are going to make yourself sick... It is your piece of art, you create it the way it feels right to you. There is no right or wrong, as you know art is a very subjective thing. I love your water colour painting, it is light, weightless like a feather and I need that to calm my head, I find it soothing. I look forward to your next piece😊♥️. Have a beautiful day CC🌺

[@irmamorris3675]

I'm just starting painting and crafting again. I'm 75 and so appreciate the calm details you share with us. And isn't this what an artist does, going with their instinct on what the project needs. I appreciate learning from you

[@JanineKearns]

Yes, please share your wisdom on colored pencil shading. We love following you on your journey wherever it leads. You are inspiring. 👩🏻‍🎨

[@suzib8726]

I simply adore this piece and I'm so glad you let the artwork speak and evolve itself. Your channel is 'Creationsceecee' not 'Doodle with Ceecee' and your creations are always magical and inspirational, doodling or otherwise. And Yes please to a video on pencils 🥰🥰. Have a lovely week.

[@conniecorbett474]

A person only becomes a good or great artist when they allow their work to speak to them.

[@lindamarsh6711]

I love this piece. Doodles can be boring and not really everyone’s cup of tea! I like it when art just happens. No forcing it. I’d be delighted if this was on my paper! 🇨🇦👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@shawnagaytan2651]

The green gold was most definitely not a mistake. It made the painting glow!

[@jeannemason6416]

I just love this piece...I enjoy your doodles, however a change is good too! Please do more with the colored pencils! Blessings

[@gregclark2102]

I'm here for watercolor, doodling and ANYTHING you care to show us. I think the pencil shading and definition is fascinating and inspiring. Would love to see more of it here on your channel. Plus, this is a beautiful piece; I love seeing it go from the stage of watercolor only, through definition with pencils to final piece - such a transformation. Thanks

[@lukyanovadolls2717]

Невероятная красота!!!! Вы молодец. В ваших работах столько фантазии. Смотрю ваши видео с удовольствием

[@karendraney5363]

I'd love to hear more about the colored pencil shading technique

[@vindeljay]

That is totally magnificent, coloured pencils are doodling to me. It doesn't need gold, stunning.

[@madhusharma-kk7qe]

A whole new realm to experiment with. Your talent unfolds like the petals of the flowers. Magical!!!

[@amyconway7985]

I love the fact that you let the artwork define itself. Great lesson

[@armadillofeathers4850]

This piece is glorious! The most important lesson, for me, was to listen and follow where the piece wants to go. I don’t think you would have been so happy with the outcome had you made it into a doodle. I would very much like to hear your approach to adding colored pencil to your pieces. I have some metallic watercolors and think I will use the plastic wrap method using those and some black paper. Thank you for sharing this.

[@RoseanneVSabol]

Love this, CeeCee! Anything on shading with colored pencils would be great. Thanks for this - it’s beautiful.

[@gillianjf260]

Oh wow, that is stunningly beautiful. More please. Thank you Cece

[@allysonberry8708]

Gold is like your signature. A simple gold line around that signature and you’d have it!! Love this departure in art. Always listen to your art!

[@333Judy333]

I love what you did with this painting. The LOOSENESS appeals to me very much. Then adding some representational work to it make it just LOVELY. WELL DONE, CC!

[@noreenmulder5255]

CEECEE PLEASE SHARE YOUR "SHADING KNOWLEDGE". I definitely need to learn how and where to add shading. Thanks.

[@kimb7612]

This is one of your most beautiful pieces. Spirit is pushing you to grow and to not worry so much about what others think. Keep allowing that flow to happen. Thank you for sharing your journey as you learn to shine more of your light through your creativity.

[@sbeck4488]

This is such a beautiful technique, I can’t wait to try it out.

[@Dianaprimartinez]

I really loved this piece the loose and whimsical nature. How you accentuated the shapes and created something coherent and beautiful. Very good.

[@arlenemurphy804]

Love what you have done with pencils. Have done several Saran Wrap backgrounds and have loved them. Will have to play with pencils.thank you as always ceecee

[@annesmith1718]

OMG that is so beautiful! I adore this, never tried adding pencil on top of the plastic wrap watercolors. I'm so delighted to have see this, thanks so much.

[@hwelsh74]

Ceecee I never would have thought to introduce pencil crayons with watercolour. I’m new to the painting world and appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Bravo!

[@isabelacamilar2079]

i think are not regular colored pencils. i think are watercolor pencils, like from faber castell, staedtler, lyra Rembrandt aquarelle, Koh-i-noor....

[@jocheriton8306]

@@isabelacamilar2079 they are normal coloured pencils. Prismacolour premier

[@tracey1327]

This video might be 3yrs old, but I'm only seeing it now, and wow! This is simply stunning creativity. I've also seen some of your doodle work that I love, but this tops the lot so far in my opinion. What you started with and then what you ended up with are 2 totally different pieces. Just amazing. Don't apologise for anything you do, I could watch you do this all day. Thank you ❤

[@krismua1209]

Very cool. CeeCee, you are the queen of coaxing shapes out of random-looking splashes of colour!

[@denibekk5876]

Kris Mua Yes, perfectly said! She does coax shapes out of splashes of color!

[@andreatannenbaum]

Lovely, and you did doodle ...with dots. Yes to more colored pencils. When my art talks to me, I’d like to have the right tools to respond. The more tools I have, the better. You can always shake things up. It shows your true artistry.

[@mariannelepley2881]

Oh goodness, this is a beautiful piece of art. Please don't ever apologize for where your intuition and heart takes you. You will never make everyone happy, so just do what makes you happy. Think of it as expanding other's horizons and offering a challenge to work outside your normal comfort zone. You do you. Love you and your work. You are ALWAYS inspirational.

[@gillianbc]

One of my favourites; best cling-film creation I've seen. More of these please

[@kirthidinesh7075]

I really love this!😊

[@creationsceecee]

Thank you! 😊

[@goodboyim9660]

We would love to see more videos on shading techniques and colour pencil projects... Plastic wrap technique is quite interesting to work with... Waiting to learn more new things from u Ceecee... We luv u soo much...

[@Butterfly-sh5nk]

It is refreshing to have you react to such a not-to-be expected challenge. Bravo for going outside the "normal" watercolor and doodles.

[@lindahigham5317]

Good evening Ceecee 😊 I love that you pulled out your coloured pencils and you went a totally different way from the doodles you normally do this piece you did today is awesome and if there is someone who not enjoying watching it's their loss stay safe and be careful 🙏🖌️🎨✍️💌

[@marygailnelson7024]

I absolutely loved this technique. Thank you for going out on a limb to show it.

[@stardustparchment]

Ceecee! This is so gorgeous and creative, I'm gonna have to try it out for sure. I love your videos and as a fellow addict to accenting everything in gold or at least one metallic colour, I'm proud of your restraint in holding back the gold on this piece. I like seeing variety in your work and I don't think you should have to apologize at all! You are providing us with inspiration and beauty for free and I can't understand how people could be complaining. People seriously need to grow up...

[@carole6244]

So glad I found your channel in May 2024 and this video. I haven't seen watercolour art where I don't know how the work was created and the process was as important to watch happen, step by step before. Love this style and techniques used. 😊

[@Naria4210]

I was once told that regardless of the imperfect piece it is still art at its best... It is turned out awesome.

[@carolynbailey8854]

Happy to see more like this, I love it. I would love to learn more about how you use coloured pencil 😊

[@deannadedon8784]

This piece is absolutely amazing!! I love the mosaic look. I'm glad you took the journey and showed us new ideas. Yes please show us more use of colored pencils.

[@karenmartin387]

I absolutely love this!! Thank you for allowing the art to talk to you and give you direction and not the opinions of people

[@tamir8492]

I LOVE this painting! It is stunning! The colored pencils add such depth. It doesn’t need doodles.

[@lynnbeard2450]

You do YOU! Those of us that appreciate you will stay! Love this piece. Keep up the good work. Hugs from Texas.

[@traceysteel800]

Absolutely stunning. I love it.

[@creationsceecee]

Thank you so much!

[@jkatz58]

Fabulous even w/o the gold (some spatters of gold would be nice). I love how this turned out and your willingness to try newish things. I love your style and the results you get, oh my, beautiful!!! Keep sharing, would love to see a colored pencil shading how to.

[@alanalendvay6131]

I want you to knowhow much I appreciate this video. I CAN'T find my way out of a pickle, either!! This video just shows how to keep going and how to make it better than you can imagine. I'm A PRO at getting disgusted and ripping the paper in 1/2 and throw it out instead of saying "try this first". Thanks CeeCee for showing us how to keep going; keep trying things. ~Blessings~

[@snuuby5468]

I absolutely love this art piece. You shouldn't have to apologize for any art that you have made as with art there is no right or wrong it is just art. I watch your videos to learn and grow in my art journey. I feel that I never want to stop learning. If I stop trying new techniques my art will become boring. Keep on learning !!!

[@annhuston]

I really, really love this creation, love the cling film effects and love the coloured pencils too. Thanks for making this video CeeCee 💕 aroha (love) from New Zealand.

[@bethgoodhand8367]

Absolutely lovely, yes also to sharing your knowledge on coloured pencils

[@debbiemcglaughlin3221]

Beautifully done!! Storing the plastic wrap in the refrigerator makes it less of a struggle!

[@cherylnielson5203]

I agree you shouldn’t apologize! The color and wrap took you in a direction...as an artist, you go with it! The piece is lovely and I like the effect you got with the wrap. I like the yellow too...it looks like the sun peaking through. Also, I would be interested in colored pencil demos as I use them a lot on their own. I think water color pencils would be interesting too!

[@malintvedt2616]

You don’t have to feel the pressure of doodling for us, just do what YOU love and we will love it! Your passion and the joy of being able to follow your experiments and development is what makes your channel special. Love from one of your patreons.

[@muryelalexandre6522]

J'adore le mélange des media en particulier aquarelle + crayons de couleurs, pastels à la cire ou aquarellable, etc. Merci pour vos vidéos très inspirantes pour moi...

[@carolnarigon803]

Fan from the US here. I love this technique and I can't wait to try it. I would very much appreciate another video with more details about it. I'm always interested in new techniques, so don't ever apologize for following your Muse down a path that doesn't include doodling. I'm grateful for all of your videos.

[@loisallen3078]

I didn't like it that much until you added the shading with color pencils and it became stunning. Thank you for all you videos as I am learning so much.

[@meliB32]

I cannot even begin to explain how much I love what you did with this piece! Absolutely amazing! Pure talent I can definitely say! I love this so much 💓 thank you so very much for sharing! (New subbie ☺)

[@sueellens]

I love this so much! I’m very new to watercolor and love using colored pencils, so combining both is perfection in my opinion. Whatever you post, I will watch. I imagine most of your subscribers feel the same. Thank you, CeeCee.

[@MicheleEngel]

I, for one, am very happy that you allowed yourself to stray from your original purpose, following the direction that the painting itself led you to. I learned a lot and enjoyed the whole thing. The result is stunning, and any self-respecting artist would applaud your artistic genius!

[@jomorgan48]

WOW !!! I just stumbled onto this video. Please don't ever apologise for your talent. You have heaps of it in you. Enjoy every moment of your life. Live your life to the full. I will enjoy your talents and your life. Thank you for sharing your God given talent. May God bless you as you travel on.

[@HeyGirlie92]

Absolutely love this piece! I always learn so much from you. Thank you! I would love to see some more colored pencil insights. You're wonderful ❤

[@leannesawtell1155]

Amazing loved watching, would def be interested in coloured pencil technique

[@CinnamintGut]

I’ve seen so many videos that show the cling wrap technique as part of a list just demonstrating it on a single color wash. This is the first time I’ve seen an actual painting using the technique and it’s beautiful!

[@rozberlin6852]

I have experimented with various types of plastic wrap, and the Cheapest brands you can get is the best for moving around once you place on paper to make more shapes. I also crinkle it in a ball first, and then open before laying done, too. Love your technique to wet both sides to keep it FLAT, most helpful, because if paper rolls when wet, you lose the effect you desired.

[@cassandranelson2842]

Love this! I would also love to see more pencil work. You inspire us with everything you do so no worries with changing things up. Thank you so much!

[@marieantrop6262]

Ô yes, please, I would just love a video on coloring when you can, ô please, This is just lovely 💝🤩

[@michelleb4697]

I love that you did something other than a doodle. Don't let the success and popularity of that style lock you into just one thing, I think in the end it won't be for the best for you OR for the channel. I love the doodles, but you never know what will inspire or push a person to new ideas and new methods. And that's what I want to see always!

[@brendawinner2587]

Absolutely stunning! Who knew with plastic wrap. More please.

[@karenjohnson6487]

Cece, a lovely piece. I think it would be good to hear your thoughts on using the pencils. I actually like the yellow. It added a glow to the piece. You did a great job. To doodle or not?? You have to listen to the "art". Thank you for sharing.

[@tarasearle3]

Fantastic! So inspiring :)

[@creationsceecee]

Glad you enjoyed it! thank you!

[@nancykirk8913]

I lOVED this video and the use of the plastic wrap, the colored pencils, etc. You are quite a brilliant, honest artist and love watching you!!!! Great art work today!!!! Hugs, CEECEE!!!

[@samanthaglorioso8440]

I have to admit that for about a week, I avoided watching this video, because I didn't want to deal with the plastic wrap. I have had zero luck with it before. But this video kept coming up for me to watch, so I did. WOW, am I glad I did. This piece is stunningly beautiful. You did all the exactly right things to enhance what was there: the colored pencils, and the dots, both black and white. Love to see more like this one. Really fantastic!

[@rnee1000]

I love this piece. And please, though we appreciate your attention to our preferences, just go with the flow! And it only serves to present us with new techniques and styles, as well as to share the struggles that come with art making. This truly is a pretty painting and I for one am interested in working more with colored pencil so this was great for me. Keep it up Cee Cee you are amazing.

[@lynnlucas9441]

I am absolutely blown away by the beauty of this piece. Please do whatever you feel when creating. It helps me know that you are being brave enough to try something different.

[@mariettanorona4614]

I used to water colour paint a lot as a child. I even went to lessons and had an amazing teacher. I haven’t painted in many years and feel out of touch. I love watching your videos. The pencil crayons over the water colours was one thing I did often. I’m going to try and start painting again. Love this!

[@debdance2502]

Please don’t be sorry. This is beautiful and I for one wouldn’t have thought to do this with coloured pencils. Thank you for inspiring.

[@chrischurchley7003]

Amazing - how you “see” leaves and flowers, and then bring them to life, is so beautiful 🤩

[@sharonmeeker6581]

No apologies necessary! This was a joy to watch and I took away a new appreciation for pencil crayons with watercolours. Thank you.

[@rinavogels2712]

Dear Cathérine you just did the right thing just like you always do.That inspires me so much. Each peace you make has a kind of magic in it. Thanks for sharing ❤️☀️

[@natcrack2296]

This is a stunning piece, absolutely love this technique, more of this with pencils and cling wrap would be fantastic! 🥰

[@peggypridgen3825]

Definitely yes to more color pencils and especially shading. That really makes a painting come to life.

[@jessbarclay472]

I truely LOVE this watercolour technique & what you did with it. I'd love to see more. I think it IS DOODLING....of a different kind, but still doodling to me. I adore watching your work.

[@deecozy]

Coloured pencils and watercolour play so beautiful together, I’d love to learn more about shading.

[@tenak7278]

Guess I'm a little late to watch this video but I'm sure glad I did. It's gorgeous. What you did with the cling wrap is amazing. But, then you started doodling with the other mediums and that brought it to life. Haven't seen you for awhile. My health hasn't been that hot. But I really need to tune in more often. You relax me. And, I don't mean bored. It's beautiful to watch you work and it's soothing to me. Thank you.
