Thank you so much! I went in to talk to my husband earlier today and told him I was going to stop trying to watercolor. I didn’t have the talent, blah, blah, blah... He convinced me to just relax and play, and then I found this tutorial! This was sooo much fun!!! I sent a pic of what I painted to my daughter and now she wants one! Thanks for bringing the joy back for me! You are a blessing!

[@annenglish2935]

Good for you! Had you done any painting previously?... I haven't but will try soon! Have fun... enjoy the journey 🌺

[@rtb03791]

Hi what watercolour are you using I'm thinking of buying some cotman watercolour

[@neridadamas1649]

Oh no. Dont stop. Try decent good paper

[@zzzz3190]

SAME SAME!! I got so disgusted trying to use watercolor that I gave up. This seems so simple even *I* can do it. I HOPE

[@consueloyoung4484]

I love florals but always get so caught up in making them perfect!. Your tutorial is very helpful because your flowers are perfection but take no time at all to create something unique and meaningful. ❤

[@virginiabegg1008]

Thank you! I am 65 and just starting to try and learn watercolor. You've giving me something so fun to practice!

[@andreafruggiero4496]

I'm 73 and just starting - very exciting and Ceecee makes it looks so easy and uncomplicated. My sweet husband just bought me some supplies (surprise!) so I'm ready to go!

I am 70 and brand new to watercolor; this video inspired me so much. I think I can do this. Thank you !!

[@SHEEEW]

Thank you for this tutorial!!! I did these flowers and added a little cartoon angel hanging amongst the flowers representing my cousin who just died at 41. Her husband messaged me that the picture brought him to tears and asked for 3 more. Nothing more rewarding than that. 🙏🏼❤

[@marlenevincent6019]

Thank you I loved watching your chanel so many hints , I am a very new beginner, 74 year old female , have wanted to do art painting & drawing since I was a very small girl. But alas Mother told me no I had to get work & artist's never make anything so will always be poor , lol nothing changed so at 18 years got married had a family of 6 children , time goes by . Now lost my Darling , it is time for me.

[@mandyaustinbadart5814]

my mother used to tell me my art was a form of violence hahaha she hated it but after she died i was able to start.

[@photadyta]

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope painting brings you some peace and relaxation. I took art as a major in my first two years of college because I didn’t know what to do yet. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and a very naive commitment. I’m too much of a perfectionist to just let it flow. Now I sit here during quarantine with twenty year old watercolors that need to be used.

[@mandyaustinbadart5814]

@@photadyta in some ways this time is a blessing.

[@marybirder5663]

@Marlene Vincent So sorry to hear you lost your sweetheart and that your mother wasn't more supportive of your art. Not that you need permission, but I surely hope you've bought plenty of art supplies and are now painting whenever you want. It's never too late to have a go and as you said---"It is time for me". I really wish CeeCee would have responded to your comment with some words of encouragement, but you'll notice she doesn't take the time to respond to many people at all under any of the video's she posts. Sadly, too often we don't always get a second chance with a missed opportunity. I hope you are well, Cheers Marlene!

[@suranjabarat5457]

Hi Marlene, I don't know if you'll read this comment but if you come by it, sending you hugs ❤️ I hope in these 6 months you have continued the art journey and finally having fun.. 😊 take care!!!

[@jacquehranica2150]

It’s now 2023 and I’m so happy I found you. These tips and instructions are exactly what I’ve been searching for. Thanks for sharing.

[@user-uu7tj5bq3x]

Thank you for showing this in real time, "mistakes and all" - this taught me not to freak out and trash my picture every time something happens that I didn't plan. If I did this exact method and "mistakes" in the past I would have started over about 5 times and given up on the last one, believing I could never do it! You give me hope ♡♡♡

[@jeffmiller8209]

62 and just a beginner. Your tutorial is just great! I have always loved watercolor paintings, so I am having a go at it. Never to late...right!

[@redcheeries]

soooooooo sweet ❤️❤️❤️ god bless🙏

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

The secret I’ve found about Watercolor painting is “ Let the watercolor do what it wants to do with very little interference from me “ . Very beautiful example of just that 🥰 !

[@w50mf1f]

*Tracy Born Again Farm Girl You are absolutely right! We want to interfere and make it perfect, but perfect comes from letting the magic happen!

[@geslinam9703]

Very true...but one needs to try to have a little bit of control, a general plan. I guess it comes with just knowing the medium, and knowing what may happen, then making those things work for you.

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

It’s all about the individual artists Geslina M , like I have a very heavy hand so I may need to dip a bit less in water than others 🤷🏻‍♀️ .

[@geslinam9703]

*Tracy Born Again Farm Girl oh yes, i see that. I wasn’t contradicting you. It’s definitely an individual thing. I work in a very realist style, so I have to plan carefully - and I’m no expert with WC. It’s a medium I’ve really struggled with. It’s hard to fix major mistakes, and good watercolor paper ain’t cheap!

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

That never crossed my mind dear Geslina M , we all learn from one another . Keeping only what works for you is what makes artists unique 🥰 , happy creating !

[@lucythompson6132]

Yesterday I felt like quitting watercolouring after about 3 months of trying. Today I came across this, followed along with you, practiced and practiced and my desire to continue has been restored. I absolutely enjoyed this ….so thank you so much!

[@marlenejones6266]

That looks like a very expensive gift. These are like free mini lessons for me. I thank you so very much. The one you remarked about being deformed is my favorite.and here I thought this was hours of work. How utterly beautiful. I'm going to try it when I get enough courage....I'm so afraid to try. It sure would be fun. I will be 71 end of the month but I never quit trying new things.

[@susanhamilton3212]

Elegant flowers? Without labouring for hours with a pencil?? New to watercolours but my paints were nearby so I had to try this straight away and your wonderful technique worked like a charm. I can't thank you enough for this valuable lesson! Dollar store frame???? Your compositions are charming and your paintings deserve so much more :)

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I’m spending my time since Covid forced me into retirement making KZbin videos to help inspire people who want to start painting or take it up again. It’s great to be able to watch others doing something similar.

[@johannamovassat8293]

Diane Antone Studio Dear Diane, I love your videos too! I just did your sunflower and so enjoyed it. I retired just before COVID and found myself in quarantine - so with an old box of watercolors and KZbin at the age of 69 I started to paint; something I have wanted my entire life to do. All you wonderful KZbin artists have brought so much joy to your viewers especially with your generosity in teaching us. No words can adequately express how much they mean to all of us, except to say thank you!❤️

[@carolyndaughton3373]

This is one of the best and easiest watercolor demonstrations to paint flowers that I've seen! Your painting is beautiful! Thank you for the lesson.

[@kkvacay]

Thank you for showing us these... as a beginner, it helps to be able to create something beautiful without the need to make something perfect. I'm just appreciating how the paint moves on the paper.

[@kathleenmackey5307]

I LOVED your tutorial! You are such a great teacher! I’m retired and have no artistic talent but I was drawn to your beautiful watercolor paintings. I think I can do this and am now going in search of supplies! Thank you!

[@silkie09]

Thank you for expressing my thoughts exactly 🤩!

[@annenglish2935]

I'm 68 year old gramma just watching watercolor artists create amazing works of art...... a bit hesitant to have a go, but have supplies now.😄 Thank you for your video and teaching beginners all kinds of creative ideas! Beautiful gifts... I like them. Without a frame... maybe displayed on wood, cork or love your card idea! Blessings to you today... you surely brightened mine😄🌺🌴🌈🌅

[@SophieBird07]

First time I’ve held a watercolor brush in all my 68 yrs. You are so inspiring. The big trick for me is when I finish I put my attempts aside and when I come back a few hours later I don’t hate it so much, as when comparing it to your skills, and can then see what I still need to work on, so I’m re-inspired to keep trying. You have added new dimensions to my retirement years!

I mean, it looks simple and kind of easy, I haven't tried it out yet and I am very much of a beginner at watercolor (and even flower painting, I did a few digital copies in my life but that doesn't help me now) but I am sure I will be able to create something decent if I practice, I have motivation, I love these flowers!

HI CeeCee! Thanks so much for this video! First of all, I love how you filmed it!

I don't know this paper, I found a quite intersting offer on the net (here in France). I'm always a bit "afraid" to waste good paper but cheap paper lead us nowhere... I think it's the most important material in watercolour. Thanks for the video!
