Love the " cloud" effect your sky achieved!!

[@susancampanelli4245]

Just lovely. The colors are beautiful and reminiscent of fall in New England.

[@christinebarone2151]

So beautiful with only a few colors.

[@cherylproffitt5550]

Just delightful! I am 73 been painting 40 years. Thank you.

[@artbynasrin]

Beautiful painting,thank you for sharing.❤❤❤

[@loriemeineker]

Very nice job and informative!

[@janclough2198]

Thank you so much for the wonderful video which is so clear and concise. I am finding card purchases so expensive and felt l wanted to make my own and personalise them, as l love painting this is a great idea. What talent you have plus you are an excellent teacher ⭐️

[@cheriebentley6798]

Just love your art. It’s my favorite.

[@sybileberhart3439]

that does look like so much FUN and is BEAUTIFUL.

[@2lmdi]

I know you probably won't see this as its an older video but I did watch when it was new. I've returned to watch several times as I usually watch a video of yours before sitting to paint. I just want to say that I've painted in other mediums for many years but opaque ones and transitioning to transparent watercolors has been a real challenge to how my brain works and I've learned more from you in that respect than any other artist on the tube. You show and explain very, very, well. Thank you.

[@wendykelcey1246]

I just love how you’ve done this!

[@DianeB2023]

Very beautiful

[@kaptainwarp]

I like your no-bullshit tutorial style. This is the greatest compliment I have ever left on a video. I might even give it thumbs-up.

[@arttulip100561]

Beautiful!

[@AudiobookLibrary24-7]

lots of layers = lots of fun

[@FranEgui]

A marvel!

[@candaceainslie980]

Just beautiful!

[@janicevaughan6163]

Very good tutorial can't wait to try it myself.

[@dianefallon8471]

Your light touch is mesmerizing.

[@8SUNNYGIRL8]

😍😻😍😻 loved it!! 🙏🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@carollundstrom6519]

Really nice!

[@Mamaosa63]

Lovely watercolor❤️

[@jocelyneturcotte3419]

You always impress me !!!!

[@kathykaura7219]

Your voice is soothing. Very nice work; thanks for sharing. Difference between me as an artist & me as a non-artist is my fear of experimentation, and that fear comes from not wanting to waste good paint and good paper on ugly work (during the learning process). 😅

[@33Jenesis]

Now I know why watercolor goes from light to dark. You do inspire me to experiment! The brush some call it cat’s tongue for being versatile.

[@henrygartley2135]

Very nice, I love loose paintings

[@victoriagadd6831]

Love it too thanks

[@deborahhansen2983]

Your style of teaching always resonates with me. Thank you for all that you do.

[@celticbabs3105]

What a clever idea to paint 1 painting symmetrically and then cut it up the middle and VOILA! you have 2 cards, done once, and they're not identical. I'll have to remember this...

[@meri8746]

Excellent tutorial!

[@wulfseig1864]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE your color palettes. Absolutely love the playfulness of the violet. It is because of you that I have added a punch of color that doesn't belong in my paintings. The effect really makes the paintings pop. I see architecture in your style. I took architecture in school and I see it in your trees and signature.

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Jennifer. yes, the violet is a little trick i discovered a few years ago when i painted a portrait with pan pastel. i keep forgetting about it maybe because it's sometimes easy to overdo it. you just need a little. your comment about architecture is quite interesting -- i am a huge fan of architecture and design since i was a child. it's interesting that you detected that. have a beautiful and creative day!

[@tonikender9459]

[@jacquelinedommel9736]

Beautiful work! Really enjoy watching your videos!!!

[@louisavevers9709]

Water colours are awesome. They almost make their own shapes. Always a dream to watch you ceecee!! Muah! 😍

[@mikyroelands8468]

I love this loose water painting and that's what I like in water painting. You do it so easily! One question: when you write with your pen, the way you hold the pen, can you see what you write?

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

These are so beautiful, I think there is nothing nicer than creating your own art work for greetings cards. I love the composition as well with the sentiment and the colors of the trees are amazing. Really beautiful work and inspirational as ever, Eleanor xx

[@nangarciarivero4371]

👏👏👏!!! Very nice!,

[@mayaws7339]

Hello Ceecee, what a grate video. I am beginner watercolor colorist and love your work! Maya

[@lylebobroske5172]

Hi. I'm Karen, and I've been learning a lot from watching you. I'm very new to water color and I'm loving it. Because I can see my progress and it's exciting. It's very addictive as well. I've watched some of you're videos more than once. This one's I've watched 3 times. It's beautiful. I just want to thank you very much for sharing you're talent. Karen from Canada.

[@azzuparis]

I really want to give this a try! Beautiful! I love your approach to watercolor landscape painting! I'm bad at it and therefore I hate to paint them. Thanks for sharing 💕💕💕

[@deannfrey3469]

Love your sentiment about making it fun. When you add that emotion to a painting, others feel it when they look at it. After all that is what art does. It incites emotion.

[@dianemosher3213]

You do make it look so easy. Beautiful Love the style

[@moniquebenard532]

Magnifique,j’adore

[@isabelledeleeneer9299]

I was so much struggling with trees when many of them together, and now I am happy with my work, thanks to you! You're a real inspiration!
