I have seen 100's of alcohol ink videos and I have to tell you, this video absolutely captivated me! I didn't want it to end! Thank you for the quiet and blissful time! Your painting came out incredible! ❤️

[@julieanntorrens5548]

Mystical magical piece. I am enthralled. The rock formations are spectacular. The trees sing. The waterfall looks misty and foggy and reflective and more.... You reach into my heart and touch my soul with your work. Thank you, Cee Cee.

[@mamamaynard]

Love this painting. That lady floating there is so ethereal and I just love that she is there. Beautiful!

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Stunning and thanks ever so much for giving us the heads-up with the inks and Isopropyl, I didn't even realise. Tfs xo

[@lizdouglas1952]

Absolutely exquisite! Unique and beautiful!! Your technique is such an inspiration. Thank you so much! 🥰👍🎨❤🌞

[@littleredwagonstudio]

THAT is such a beautiful piece!!! The lady add a magical touch to this landscape....LOVEEEEEEE it!!! xoxo stephie

[@GranolaBear13]

I was just blown away watching you create this, so was my cat! He doesn’t usually watch the computer, but as he was sitting on my lap while I watched, the music caught his attention. He tilted his head down a bit to focus on it and then couldn’t stop watching! I needed to get up, but didn’t dare break his concentration. He seemed mesmerized. So funny.

[@nancyrolfe3033]

Most beautiful work with alcohol inks Ive seen and Ive been searching it...I jusr retired (37 yrs. teaching JH )and thought I'd pick up watercolors. So, looked on KZbin for help. OMG! So much talent and information. I LOVE the effects of this but dangers a little scary! I can't wait to see your work in other mediums. Thank you VERY much for sharing your talent and information..

[@RoeRoe123]

CeeCee you are so danged talented. Utilizing all that color from the falls to turn into trees...COOL! THIS IS GREAT. Thank you lady.

[@bruceosborne1892]

This is the best I've seen using Yupo paper. Thanks.

[@theresawatamaniuk6562]

CeeCee, I absolutely love your alcohol ink paintings, such wonderful movement . The music just goes well with the painting too! You are such an inspiration to us all!!Thank you so very much!!! very grateful...You have such an eye ...love how the lady appeared, and how you transformed her...my gosh you are good! That is what I love about alcohol ink...the unexpected...

[@christineingram55]

Breathtaking....Definately not what I was expecting ,just love the way you work 😀

[@barbarasalmi5123]

CeeCee, is there nothing you cannot do when it comes to art making? You don't need any advice from others...you are a trail blazer, my friend.

[@creationsceecee]

oh barbara, there is plenty i have to learn yet!!! but i'm willing to try anything. have a beautiful day!

[@ravenwoodacres-homegrown]

So serene and calming. The colours, the scene, and I was so excited when you started making 'the woman' as I saw her there too!

[@Kateseyes]

I absolutely loved this piece. I enjoyed watching as it developed. Great job.

[@annhall2937]

I’ve been watching your channel and absolutely LOVE your paintings. They are all so beautiful! You make it look so easy but I know it is not. I have tried a lot of different mediums in the past and can’t wait to try the alcohol ink. I’ve purchased all the necessities. ALL of the different mediums have health issues especially for someone with respiratory issues. We just have to be smart about it and take precaution. Hope you can continue with this. You are GREAT!

[@tracylj5128]

Just a beautiful painting. I am excited to start this again. I had done a few things last spring, but I just got some more yupo paper and an getting the creative process started again. Last time I had done this the windows could be open, but now it. Is a little chilly so I think I will relocate to my kitchen where I have a very good exhaust fan. Thank you for sharing!

[@franrogo4547]

Good heavenly daisies CeeCee. If this is what you can do without really knowing how to use alcohol inks......Both of these paintings are amazing. The way you manipulated the ink, which definitely tends to have a mind of its own, is absolutely amazing. So impressed! These were both beautiful pieces.

[@purplenanna1272]

OMG.That painting is wonderful!,and love how the lady appeared 😄.

[@brendashelonko2149]

Really beautiful work. You demonstrate technique very well (making it look deceptively easy, but still accessible to those of us less talented). Thanks for the warnings! It's like using oil paints, but more volatile.

[@jeannewagner8133]

What exactly would make you an experienced alcohol inks artist? After doing 50 pieces? After 5? Who's to say, but I'd bet $100 you ARE an artist. You have a vision in mind and you're making it happen someway. It's impressive and I don't see anyone else doing this kind of art with them. Beautiful.

[@jothikrishnan2253]

Excellent CeeCee. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Really very stunning. I love it. ❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@DeonnaBemish]

You are quite the artist with alcohol inks and i love how that lady came to life in the center. Great piece of Art. I love it!

[@scottieable1111]

You are so right about inhaling fumes. I had problems using a straw for blowing the ink and isopropyl alcohol.

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

Awesomeness. I never knew about that refillable pen. What a great tool.

[@Mad_Rian]

Good Morning. This piece is gorgeous and to me, your waterfall/fluke looks like the Northern Lights. 🤗

[@thepochade5992]

Mad Rian .... I also saw the Northern Lights 😉

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Rian. that's true... they do look like northern lights too!

[@koleszafoto]

I saw the lady shape too before you starting drowing her :) , but your finish work is much more better than it was in my mind :D Amazing pic! Congratulation and thak you the inspiration!!!! ♥️

[@monalcreates]

Wow!! What an amazing piece of art CeeCee!! It is beautiful and magical at the same time! Thanks for sharing!

[@allisonjames2923]

Definitely an incredible painting. I love the waterfall effect. Was hoping it was something that could be replicated, but appears to have been one of those random effects that looks amazing. Oh well, won’t stop me trying 😁

[@tamihelms9272]

love it and wow if you are a beginner. Thank you for sharing

[@sandrawinkleman6503]

I love your work and i want to learn all i can about alcohol inks. Thank you for letting me know of the things to look out for. Thanks for everything and i`m going to subscribe and ring the bell.

[@tinapanna3613]

What a fabulous job & medium!!!

[@HeiderosesPhotograph]

This is beautiful, I love this mysterious woman and the colors are beautiful....TFS

[@robfielding100]

A magical piece of art. I might give this a go. Thank you for this inspiring video

[@nikkitemple9222]

Both your pieces look amazing. I think that using the hair dryer even on a cool setting probably makes the effects of the alcohol/blending solution more of an issue with the slight heat creating more fumes. I have used an airbrush to move the inks which might be an alternative, but a bit more forceful so maybe create different effects. Great inspiration.

[@Rainfeather1]

now thats the kind of art i want to learn to do with my inks...scenery and such......

[@christy7635]

Really enjoyed watching you do this 🥰

[@ruthkoster4140]

‘I am so glad you shared this about having trouble breathing as i do have this trouble. It is so beautiful but i will watch and not do it. Thanks!!

[@kathbiddle-dutton7069]

Wow ! With the warning I’m not real sure I want to get into it .. I recently was exposed to it locally at festival but not a word on the downside/breathing hazard.......watercolor & acrylics keep me busy enough!! your work is beautiful 👌 thanks again

[@brendashelonko2149]

Also have to consider danger to babies, pets, children, elderly or chronically ill people, neighbors if living in apartment complex, fire risk. Also must keep alcohol inks and products securely locked away from children who might try to play with them.

[@cheryl7476]

Oh CeeCee, this alcohol ink piece turned out so nicely. I am getting up the nerve now, to try doing a landscape. I have stained mica pieces found on the roads around our property, and I have done my share of dropping ink, so now, after watching you with the ink and the blending tool, I will definitely give it a try and see where it leads. Thanks for your daily inspirations, CeeCee, for not only do you motivate me to play in my art room, you inspire me with your techniques with watercolor and now to go further with alcohol inks.

[@creationsceecee]

oh, i bet the inks would look amazing on mica pieces! enjoy the playtime!

[@lindacarreira8106]

Love them both! You are so creative!

[@760ariz]

The woman reminds me of the “Huldra” (a dancing figure on top of a waterfall) that is seen on the Flam train between Flam and Voss, Norway. Your creation reminded me of a trip to Norway in 2016.

[@suefischer9741]

Just beautiful! You're so talented!

[@onnaaddis7983]

Lovely! Glad you did warm folks.. Years ago I was cleaning the bathroom mirror after a shower w/alcohol steamy bathroom not helping but was in a hurry to get ready , company coming soon.. Shower and clean as I go. Squirted about 1/4 cup alc. On bathroom mirror and facets and with a paper towel started to clean hadn't open the window yet as I'm short and I would have to climb on the sink to reach it. So I'm cleaning feeling pains in my arm and in my chest. Opened the door hoping it would help.. Ask I know is it hurt to breathe...ended up at the Dr.s he called an ambulance..I was having a heart attack. You're not supposed to get it in your skin and breathe it in an enclosed room... I will never do that again for sure! Air ventilation is A #1 must.. Gloves are a good barrier. Be smart when you create my friends ..so we can create more beauty!

[@creationsceecee]

YIKES! that is scary. yes, we must use caution with some products.

[@diegooland1261]

Thanks for the warning, I wish more people would do it. Nice job on the project.

[@irenegold3969]

It is beautiful! You did great.

[@loricleary4473]

This is beautiful 😍💕

[@darlenebaldwin1398]

Wow! Just Wow! 💖💖💖 You added a ‘disclaimer’ regarding your skill level...100% unnecessary! It’s obvious you are a talented artist! If you’re only new to this media... I can’t imagine what practice would make you! This is stunning! You see a waterfall...I felt Aurora Borealis at first glance. My head is spinning with ideas now... I just received more product- markers/ inks etc....I will use our air purifier in my art room. I noticed the odours were wicked! 😊 Did I mention...Wow! 😊💖

[@feliciahazelton754]

This would make a beautiful Christmas card too.

[@meowmom5]

This is a beautiful piece, love what you did with your trees. Please keep doing AI demos, your are amazing at it.

[@daphnehazell2917]

Just toooo gorgeous and thanks for giving us the heads up of the dangers, i will be more careful

[@CristinaArriolaart]

You are the best…in many ways

[@DanyMonteArt]

Love it! I really want to try this technique one day!

[@anneroberts7312]

Beautiful scene, taming the ink❤️

[@irenatw1]

Hello, I was watching DeliriArt on KZbin @ alcohol ink and she is using Everclear (95% grain alcohol) to use instead of Isopropyl alcohol in an effort to reduce exposure to harmful vapors. I love all your painting.

[@creationsceecee]

oh, thank you for the tip. i will go have a look at her channel.

[@creationsceecee]

oops, i just took a look at the product online... it is made of wheat. not good for me as i have Celiac disease. disappointed :-((((

[@suelee3021]

Does everclear work as well as the Isopropyl alcohol?

[@paulinejones178]

Beautiful as usual, maybe she's a water spirit I absolutely love it,.

[@cindybearj]

Beautiful picture!

[@faygiefellig9983]

you are soooo talented

[@ew72360]

Loved this so much! Thank you!

[@CONCEP.B]

Me encanta! Se ve etéreo! Muy buen trabajo, como siempre :)

[@m.c.5124]

I’m sure Tim Holtz was grateful for your warnining🤣. I saw your mask and it’s a particle mask not a vapor mask. Your prob trapping the alcohol vapors against your face when you breath. You’d be better off with the window and fan. RN for all my life. Good luck. 😁. Your painting is beautiful and I can’t believe you’re just starting in the medium. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@creationsceecee]

yes, i now realize the mask might have done more damage than good. i'm grateful for my awesome subscribers for all the info i was given on the topic.

[@esctostampin]

Awesome project!!

[@gwenanderson1914]

You are SO talented.... Wow!

[@susanfontaine5214]

Thank you as always kind, talented lady!

[@susanfontaine5214]

Thanks Ceecee!!🙏

[@stephaniehackney2425]

Beautiful! 👏🏼 Steph

[@Richiedei50]

Lovely. Thank you.

[@carolawatson123]

Thanks for doing this demo. Love the effects you created. I'm new to alcohol inks as well and would have liked to find out what time of pen you used to draw the trees. I don't imagine all pens will work.

[@angelagutknecht3700]

Stunning. Love it.

[@lynnedyer9141]

Gorgeous!

[@patthornton3334]

Incredible

[@MF-zv4mf]

Cee Cee, it's fantastic!? I love it.

[@ruthkoster4140]

Very beautiful.

[@sarine6237]

Hi there - the kind of mask you are wearing is a dust mask. If you want to protect yourself from VOCs - you HAVE to wear a mask made for that. Sadly - they are the kind with the two filters on either side - those big ones and you put it on tightly around your face - they have instructions. Once you get the fit - it becomes easier to take on and off again (only the first time is a hassle). :-) With these masks, you cannot smell anything - if you do, then you know it is time to replace the filters. They are a bit expensive - around $35 Canadian. I use it for spray painting in the garage and some gluing. And I agree one should use it with alcohol, especially for an extended time of use. It is great that you provide the warnings here - but Iso Alc is all about VOCs. Resins in the blending solution offer an extra bonus of sticking to your lungs if inhaled - so they say, never spray it. :-( But if you have the mask, then you do have more flexibility with how you work. So if you do a lot of this - it is worth getting the other mask. Warning - they are not as much fun or comfortable and they get hot - so you need to take some breaks - at least that is what I have found. Still better to be safe. Sorry for the long message - but I see soooooooooooo many people thinking that they are protecting themselves and they are not. BTW - I did a lot of research on this issue including talking to some manufacturers of these masks. The best way to research this area is by Googling VOC's and that's how you will discover which masks do what. Cheers, and thank you for providing your lovely videos! All the very best! :-) PS.... I think alcohol denat (and/or grain) might be better if you make ur own inks and just the plain alch for the effects. But purchased inks are all ISO. Still, even though we use perfume and drink vodka, I am nor sure I would want to inhale it for lengthy amounts of time either. It might be worth researching though - note to self - haha. :-)

[@ellaconner9452]

Beautiful!

[@martinebeck8769]

Thank you so much !!

[@Richiedei50]

I really love this. Was that a lift-off pen you were using for the tree please. Thanks for the video🥰

[@ilianahovorkova3296]

Very nice. Thank you my friend.

[@jeannemason6416]

Wow...amazing...

[@annedall8441]

Bravo, très intéressant ! Merci

[@pamkerssen4856]

Love this!!

[@johanssonstudio]

Beautiful! What stamp ink do you use for your “signature” stamp? Also, do you know of any white pens that would work similar to the black pens you used?

[@franrogo7974]

Hello again CeeCee. Didn't have to go far for info on alcohol and alcohol inks. Just read the labels and found out that the fumes are harmful. Like you said, work in a well ventilated room and wear gloves. Luckily, my work table in right in front of a glass door and better yet, I found out I still had two large sheets of yupo paper. woohoo, who knew?

[@creationsceecee]

awesome! have fun.

[@kimberlytheodorepoladora2450]

Wow, wonderful! ❤️

[@yolandejanssen-dekker5008]

Stunning ❣️

[@SatAlhosan]

very good fabulous job

[@susanfontaine5214]

Please please do a few more alcohol inks! Pretty please!

[@creationsceecee]

i will try, providing i can find a proper mask or work outside.

[@dottimerritt3758]

Hi I love your videos but I am wondering if you’re using your inks straight instead of putting alcohol with them? My ink so much too strong it to use straight. However yours looks good!

[@louisescherbain312]

Amazing.

[@chantalcaine9834]

Magnifique 👏👏👏👏

[@SerenaHannahStudio]

This is a fantastic video CeeCee! Your work is fabulous. Just a heads up, I have an entire KZbin video devoted to Alcohol Ink safety, so feel free to check it out because it talks about the exact potential hazards, types of gloves and what type of masks there are.

[@creationsceecee]

thank you so much, Serena. i have watched your video which is well prepared and so informative. i've left you a note about the gloves and have linked your videos in the description of mine so that my viewers can watch it as well.

[@mariaisabelcovarrubias3075]

Hola te felicito es uno de los videos que más me a gustado 👏🇨🇱

[@staceybrister]

Oh my gosh, CeeCee, this piece is ..just wow! I feel like it tells a story, surely different for each individual's perspective...? It is so beautiful and the the lady, for me, seems to represent...um, I don't know how to describe it exactly. But she's so on the edge...ya know? I love both of the ones you have just created, but this one is my favorite. Just awesome! It seems like you have lots of skill with this medium. You're creative expression is flowing so magically! Thank you for sharing, and yes, be careful with the fumes! Our health and our relationships, are of upmost importance, I believe. Peace and Joy, CeeCee

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Stacey!

[@eleanorvasil4926]

What? no coffee??? LOL I use alcohol inks frequently and have no problem with the smells. Maybe some are more sensitive to it than others. Try using a diffuser on your hair dryer. It concentrates your air flow and you can control the ink a little more. Love the "waterfall" effect! Keep practicing...there are many of us learning along with you. Have a terrific day!

[@noralyngorges2078]

Eleanor Vasil the smells don’t bother me but I’m in a well ventilated area. However, I do have concerns about breathing it in and possible long term effects. The more I’m learning about these different mediums, the more I’m wondering if PPE is best to be used as much as possible at all times. Anyway, I have not tried using the diffuser with my hair blower...ty for the tip...I must give it a try. 😉

[@judithbrown6046]

What is the big felt looking pen you are using

[@jaspermartin7444]

You are a total sweetheart, thank you for all the warnings. This turned out beautifully, seriously very nice, worth selling in your etsy shop or whatever if you have one. If you can bear to part with it, that is. :-) I would have to keep it, if it were mine. :-) I too saw the woman even before you started working on her. She looks like she is standing on some rocks in front of a waterfall, contemplating the beautiful view. :-) [edit] okay I just peeked in your etsy shop... This is way too nice to sell for a low price!! Put that price up there dear!!

[@creationsceecee]

LOL thank you, Jasper!

[@snowstamper1]

I have to tell you a funny story I got up yesterday same thing got something to drink set down to watch a video and nothing I thought we’ll maybe because it’s a holiday got up this morning look for your video nothing so I went to your name never thinking it wouldn’t be watercolor and it would be the alcohol inks I was thrilled to find KZbin videos.I like them both but I’m crazy over the first one the colors and everything I watch you and think how can you make that into anything but you always do. Thanks again for all the time that you put into them and for caring I also have lung problems so it’s good to know about the alcohol inks I have them but never really done anything with them.

[@creationsceecee]

the best way to not miss any videos i publish is to click the little bell next to the subscribe button on my channel. that way, you'll be notified every time i upload!

[@franceswatts4001]

That was outstanding! I have used alcohol inks (own the entire range) but never ever worked them with alcohol and blending solution and a hairdryer like you did! incidentally, what is the difference between the alcohol and blending solution, please?

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, frances. the isopropyl alcohol i use is 99%USP so it's quite a bit stronger than the blending solution. the other difference is that the blending solution has a binding agent in it and the isopropyl alcohol is pure alcohol.

[@franceswatts4001]

creationsceecee thank you! I use the 99% isopropyl alcohol. Never used the blending solution.

[@stanky6261973]

Gorgeous!! Tfs I was wondering if you would share a video of that flower that you pulled into the video at the end. Did you know that tim holtz has a pallet for alcohol inks? And paint brushes just for alcohol inks. Is the same pallet that he used to use for reinkers lol. New subbie here :)

[@creationsceecee]

welcome to my channel! i didn't film the process of the flower i showed in the video unfortunately. and i don't like to duplicate my art. thanks for the tim holtz news; i'll check that out although i am taking a break from alcohol inks for now until i have proper setting that is not harmful for my health. have a beautiful weekend!

[@freedom65ec]

Was the fillable pen filled with alcohol? What was the blending medium besides alcohol?
