Even 5 years later...LOVE THIS. Beautiful...

[@beats2476]

I'm 65 and just stated watercolor and ink painting on yopo. I love it. Now you have opened a new can of worms lol. I don't draw very good but I can sure doodle. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing gift you have. Hugs from NC.

[@apriledleblute6261]

I spray my ink picture with krylon and let it dry, before I doodle! It keeps the ink from coming off and then you can use almost any pen to doodle or write on it! 😊

[@katebates3423]

which krylon product do you use?

[@kathrynwoodell6928]

@@katebates3423 I know this wasn't a question for me, but I use Krylon Sealer for my watercolors. It also works on alcohol inks. I use it for charcoals and graphite pictures. The stuff is great.

[@pjudge247]

@@kathrynwoodell6928 what about rustoleum crystal clear

[@colleenkleinhans849]

I tried krylon workable fixative and it took the color of the alcohol away as did it when I tried clear acrylic sealer by Patricia Nimocks. Mod podge has a matt clear acrylic sealer. So I tried that. Not as speckled as the other two, however my micron pen smeared.

[@SouthernArtist77]

Which Krylon?

[@judyhobday4760]

When I was a lot younger with better eyesight I did a lot of doodling. In fact back when I had a paying job we would have weekly meetings. That was a big doodle time for me. Never got in trouble as I was able to doodle and participate. Meetings were the bane of our work lives and seldom added any benefits. Love your work on Yuppo. I have tho pads of Yuppo and am going to get some out with my alcohol inks. You really inspire me!

[@juliao1255]

I get such a kick out of hearing your reactions because they express how I feel on the inside when I experience the joy of art. I also loved watching your bold & brave experimentation with the medium. I am working on letting go of my fear of using my "expensive" supplies on methods when I don't know how they will turn out. I need to just play -- exuberantly! You have inspired me!

[@creationsceecee]

what a wonderful comment! this makes me so happy... to know that i have inspired someone to let go and embrace the joy of creating without fear. wishing you endless hours of pure creative pleasure!

[@judithjarvis2421]

This is just WOW! I've only recently been introduced to your work and I've been sitting here watching you paint and doodle for what seems to be hours. So much better than housework. Keep up the glorious work x

[@creationsceecee]

thank you and welcome to my channel. i get what you're saying about housework !!!

[@denisesanborn9965]

I absolutely love your videos! Love how excited you get sometimes. Makes me laugh. Learning so much! I'm a total beginner to art. Retired nurse and always wanted to take art classes. Thanks so much!!!

[@Vgudorf]

I was never excited about alcohol inks until I saw this video. It amazes me how much color complexity you were able to achieve with just three bottles of ink and rubbing alcohol! You’ve really ignited my imagination, CeeCee. Thank you so much!

[@sheillabailey5080]

Saw this today July 21, 2023. Beautiful. I’m a card maker and just getting into intuitive art. I’ve been reluctant to use alcohol inks ( in my stash). Thought they were messy not only to work with but to look at. You turn the messy inky blobs into beautiful flowers and leaves. Now I want to give it a try. Thanks CeeCee for sharing your gift on you tube!💛

[@daniellevincelli9920]

OMG!!! My feet are tapping the floor too. I dusted off my little bottles and went to the store to get more! Thank you for inspiring me with something new-ish... love this!

[@NancyLynn]

"A little bit shy"...that's an understatement LOL! I have everything I need to get started yet they're still sitting there waiting to be uncapped. Thank you for the inspiration...absolutely gorgeous pieces!

[@julieanntorrens5548]

Cee Cee, This tutorial is extraordinary. The flower garden is totally captivating. Such talent and skill. So inspirational. Thank you.

[@carolyndaughton3373]

Thank you for a great video! I have alcohol inks and yupo paper and have been wanting to try this. You've inspired me :)

[@blinder4200]

I used to reward myself with following a video of yours after a hard day's work, but now I do it as a morning meditation. :) Thanks for being so lovely!

[@pampam3144]

You're video has been the best I have every watched. The different techniques finally show me how it's done! Thanks

[@MaryOBrienaus]

Gorgeous! And I love how excited and happy it makes you! 😍

[@bookmouse770]

The colors are like fairy art or something, the colors are unbelievable.

[@SOMIKOH]

You are the funniest ever!!!......I like how you incorporate humor with work professional master pieces........ Your work is so "splashtacular" colorful and beautiful......."oh how I love"

[@kathyakadragonflysmiles301]

Love your carefree, no limits, let's see attitude. This is when I am at my happiest doing art. Thanks for all of the techniques.

[@creationsceecee]

Yes! like-minded artists. thank you and have a wonderful day!

[@myriamquinn9432]

You're the real deal - just loving what you're doing and being generous....

[@ChrisWilliamsRMWpigeon]

i like the blue and green watercoulour in your outro vid, i also like the contrast between the leaves and black curved lines, reminds me of stained glass windows, really vibrant art creationsceecee!!

[@sallyhaddock3096]

This is one of the best tutorials I've watched on Alcohol inks and Yupo. It gives me more courage to try some new ideas. Thanks for your gift and for sharing.

[@evaschoch7320]

Based on your beautiful Video I ordered alcohol inks and started today with some creations ... I am so thankful that you inspired me ! I love the outcome of my cards....And I start doodleing .....soooooo amazing ! Thanks so much !!!!!

[@creationsceecee]

Yay! Have fun!

[@sherrydee7880]

I stumbled upon this video & am so happy that it found me! This method is so much cleaner than the way I once did a similar process with water colors & India Ink pens back in the 1960's! Since this winter will be long & cold, I know what I'm buying to get me through it & keep my creative side happy & away from the idiot box (tv)! Thanks for sharing- Loved watching the process & the testing of the products was really helpful to avoid wasting money on pens that smear!

[@creationsceecee]

ahaha, the idiot box is absolutely right! glad to be of help. enjoy the ART time and have a wonderful week!

[@adriankap2978]

I enjoy your excitement when you see them blending. It's beautiful work and all from just playing. Very cool and nice..

[@oldorangelady]

In Wanderlust Azoline a french artist used alcohol inks. She used Archival inks to stamp. It really is something to practice. You gave me many ideas.

[@mamamaynard]

Absolutely amazing. I've never seen anything like this done with alcohol inks. I make a lot of backgrounds, but have never thought of turning them into pieces like this. So beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@piafrantti3389]

Just beautiful... I find it so relaxing watching these videos. And get so inspired thinking I can do it, NOT that easy u really have a eye creating art 🤗. Thank you for inspiring us novices😂

[@sharonnesvog4269]

+creationsceecee ....This art piece is absolutely spectacular!!! I literally felt your excitement and was smiling ear to ear when you were still in the creation mode and dropping alcohol ink onto your Yupo Paper!! ☺ I just adore working with my Adirondack Alcohol Inks....they are SO MUCH fun! I haven't tried doodling on them yet...but you have inspired me with this piece!! Thank you for sharing Catherine!! ☺

[@bodyofhope]

I so appreciate seeing you express your joy for your art!

[@cindirevelle4100]

so fun! and turned out beautiful

[@darlenericotta7550]

I love the colors and how they blend and move.

[@DebraZ]

Your creative juices were definitely flowing

[@lyndaspillman1555]

I found it mesmerizing to watch...meditative almost. Very nice.

[@loisannarter2263]

I love them all! The middle one with the bubble you said you might fill in is my favorite spot on the picture! Since you first made it, it looked like a bubble and I hoped it would stay as it was! Thank you for such inspiration and encouragement!Beautiful work!

[@joseward5372]

I agree!

[@lesliev7874]

Memorizing. Stunning work of art.

[@circsched8351]

You're demo is great! Lots of great tips. The result is absolutely beautiful!

[@judichristopher4604]

So BEAUTIFUL

[@cathleensrensen3073]

I love this technique. It’s like looking for shapes in clouds. You have inspired me. You are a doodler extraordinaire!

[@debrafishpaw381]

wow! I love it! painting, doodling is my life and you’ve inspired me to add alcohol inks.... great tutorial, kkep up the good work👍

[@joanneeggers641]

your work is amazing!! i am a multi media artist, however, have been a bit discouraged using my alcohol inks. the information you share and show has inspired me to try again! this piece you designed is BEAUTIFUL!! thanks so much for sharing your talents.

[@happybudgiesify]

Wow! I just happened upon this after using yup paper in a watercolor class. I LOVE your work!!

[@jamiecee4960]

That is really neat. Love this stuff. Love that Flower you cut off. It's so pretty.

[@artjojo52]

Absolutely love your work. Just Beginning the alcohol ink videos. Love the travelers notebook covers!

[@azzuparis]

Hi CeeCee, great great tutorial! I truly enjoyed it and the final result is beautiful! It was so therapeutic to watch you playing with inks and rubbing alcohol, and of course doodling. Thank you so much for this video 😄😄

[@creationsceecee]

awesome, i'm glad you've enjoyed it! thanks and have a lovely weekend.

[@socalnocal1]

Try using a paint pen for your detailing! They come in various colors and STAY. Your work is stunning. Thanks for sharing.

[@CatherinethePaint]

Love this video! You are so talented!!! 💖🥰💖

[@anonomousindividual9929]

This piece turned out so beautiful

[@rose-lynnemcdougall7386]

First tutorial I have see on alcohol inks and I really enjoyed what you did. Thanks.

[@andreeclarke5379]

I found myself smiling for the 1st half of the video, during the ink application. Thank you, I'm still smiling

[@creationsceecee]

Yay! my mission is accomplished. thank you so much for this sweet comment, Andree.

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I’m just starting to doodle on my alcohol ink backgrounds. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@marlenediaz7275]

VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL AND I HAD A GOOD TIME TOO LISTENING TO YOUR JOY OF CREATING AND DISCOVERING,THANKS

[@kaitlynmaxwell6561]

That tutorial was awesome..the best I have seen thus far...

[@irenewickstrom2485]

I love the 3 parts - mount them together in a tryptic. They are gorgeous!

[@MMGARC]

This was so much FUN!! Loved watching you have so much FUN too! Mine always come out looking like a war zone - you gave me some great idea's with the alcohol Ink and brush to get more control. Thanks, CeeCee

[@juliehenze1103]

Absolutely love you work and you enthusiastic attitude while you work!

[@cindylcarrillo]

I love your expressions of joy when you create. Makes watching a How to Do video way more fun!

[@carolyngolding1095]

CeeCee - this was fabulous. Very inspiring. It looks like something that will be good not only for my creativity but for my SOUL!!! Thank you for this really informative cllip.

[@creationsceecee]

ART is soul-fulfilling for sure. thanks and have a wonderful time creating!

[@Scrapitydoodah]

Gorgeous. I also love to do this. The results are always so random and pretty. I usually use the Pitt pens and I have also used a white pigma micron. If you leave them to dry thoroughly they don't smudge xx

[@creationsceecee]

that's good to know, Lynn. i was afraid i would smudge the lines before the ink had time to dry. that's why i opted for the Microperm. better safe than sorry :-) have a lovely weekend!

[@LisaMyEclecticLife]

I enjoyed watching you play with the alcohol inks. I need to get mine back out. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@creationsceecee]

my pleasure. have fun with your inks!

[@debbiecolton745]

Cece, great video. I love your work! I’m new to alcohol inks but am a Zentangler. I look forward to combining the two.

[@gracelerch6462]

This is lovely therapy! I love to work with ink and details and created the unknown. You are in my heart! Continue doing this. You are great! Thank You!

[@karenkirby2968]

Can't wait to get some alcohol inks!!! I admire your artwork and thank you for sharing. Congrats on your being published.

[@dianemosher3213]

Just when I think that you are finished you add another color beautiful

[@beverlyb5144]

I loved your video. I have not tried this. You have made me braver to attempt it!!! Thank you.

[@africanromantic5169]

Brilliant work!

[@pennyalagha8069]

I love it, very vibrant colors

[@annieandpatches]

How exciting! It's like magic. Never knew about alcohol inks. It's similar to acrylic pouring but totally different..

[@jackiecleveland]

Oooooooo Thank you so much for the hot tips and the micro perm pen suggestion! Beautiful art work 😍

[@ramonalee1]

I absolutely love this! I’ve seen Vicky Papaioannou touch the sticky parts when it’s not completely dry, with a foil sheet. It looks great to have the foil in all those random spots and really highlights the piece. I really want to try this doodling over the color. Thanks.

[@boppagramme8308]

Thank you for your delightful videos. You have such a gift for “seeing” things with The painting and bringing them to life with the detail. Can’t wait to try this to technique and experiment with the paints and markers

[@Jenifer.flute20]

Those colors are life

[@dotalinadavis7557]

Gees this alcohol painting would be beautiful framed. You are fabulous at doodling on this style of artwork. I’m going to have to give it a try on larger yupo paper than the small stuff I have. I think you get a better feel for designing (somewhat!) an idea. Fabulous!

[@dianadevlin3717]

I’ve struggled a bit with the doodling part but your video really helped, thanks!

[@keariewashburn4680]

I like all of it. Very fun watching 🍀

[@jennygee9849]

lovely creations Catherine...I made some a few yrs ago & made mothers day cards which my husband sold to all his workmates whose wives & mothers loved

[@donnadrake7309]

Thank you so much! The doodling really makes it a beautiful piece!

[@triciakaplan5201]

The doodling is really beautiful! I look forwared to trying this techgnique!

[@pstmeoff]

Mesmerizing! I am a color lover! Excellent video CeeCee!

[@barbaralemme2732]

I love to watch you work. It's always inspirational! Thanks for sharing.

[@patriciafranklin3991]

Fantastic! Thank you. I have inks and yup just need the medium and I can get started. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@judilynn9569]

I'm always looking for more freeform alcohol ink painting (as opposed to just lots of circles). I love what you're doing.

[@vhnassar]

Loved the video & loved your vibrancy. Thankyou.

[@rolfhogfeldt7645]

Incredible! Love it and the way you present it too. you're quite an inspiration. Watching this video had my mind firing off like a pinball machine. I started thinking of a million ways to try this one some of my photographs. I'm also going to try it on some of my mono prints to see what happens. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge 🙌👍🙌👍

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

I really enjoy working with alcohol ink and like you, I love doodling. I get lost in it, very zen for me. It's how I relax my mind. I've learned so much more from you and am inspired to get going on it again.

[@creationsceecee]

yes, we all have our happy place in art, don't we?! have a wonderful weekend!

[@christinewillis8739]

Thank you so much...I have learned a lot from the time spent here. I’m off out to buy some Yupo. I’m eager to begin!!

I never tried this but I'm going to. You make it look so easy. That is really nice.

[@debbiesday8270]

Thanks for sharing. It turned out beautiful. I'm so excited to get started with the inks. Looks like so much fun.
