Watercolour - experiments doodles

Hello,
Thank you for visiting the Creative Cove today!
Here is a fun video on using watercolour and ink pen. It is a slow relaxing process. Kind of like a adult colouring book.
Sometimes it is nice to approach things in a different way. I still use a loose approach but instead of trying to draw something specific I just have fun with texture and patterns.
The overall effect is quite interesting. It teaches you about balance and harmony in a composition. I really enjoy the process and I hope you do to.
Happy crafting!

[@creationsceecee]

love your doodles. i'm taking notes for new patterns -- i especially loved how you treated the circles 😉 . thank you so much for mentioning my channel and the Danish Painter, whom i didn't know. (this is my 2nd comment because i can't see the first one i wrote. if it's a duplicate, i apologize). wishing you a lovely and creative rest of the day!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you and Thank you for all you do on your channel you have thought me a whole new approach to watercolour but most of all you have thought me to trust and enjoy the process. 😊

[@KatheeRN]

​@@thecreativecove6898 That's what it's all about. Paint what makes you happy. I just started doodling, when I don't feel like just painting. It's just so much fun and imaginative- one can "doodle" anything.

[@sheilagilleland4312]

I am to, so cool.

[@sheilagilleland4312]

We’re here to learn, so anything you teach we’re going to love.

[@JanetBuol]

Hey CeeCee, I thought this was your channel for a minute or ten. Had me confused. Hope you are well and thank you for all you do.

[@bozomahoney]

I love watching you doodle. And thank you for NOT adding music; that's a deal breaker with me when I'm choosing videos to watch. I'm here to listen to your voice and the light sounds of the pen across the paper. CeeCee is great too. 😊 Hello from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊 i agree however some videos i like just music. I think for me it depends on my mood and the kind of music thats playing. Lol

[@laurie3881]

me too! Not fond of music... I like to hear your voice.

[@GigisART]

Ceecee is amazing. I go back and rewatch videos, when I’ve had a stressful day. Her voice is soothing and her art is calming. I love your art! Everyone is painting flowers or landscapes, except you and ceecee. I love the free style of your work.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so much. She really does have such a calm demeanour that makes you want to just relax and paint. 😊

[@betholmsted]

Actually no, it is not tedious because I went to my art room and doodled a random watercolor like yours, dried it, and am following along with you as you doodle. I am creating a very similar work and it is very fun! I feel like I am with you and receiving individual instruction. The other day I drew along with you to make little mushroom drawings, then did mushroom "houses" like yours! So cute! I just love to follow you and create similar doodles. My birds were not so great, but I can recreate most of the ideas you convey. You make it so fun, and the results I use in my junk journals.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Awesome!!! This all makes me so happy to hear. Birds can take a little practice so don’t be to discourage with them. You just have to keep sketching and feeling them out and then suddenly you’ll be drawing all kinds of birds. Like I said some times I can draw no problem and other day not at all. I also mentioned I can’t draw people well yet so I just keep practicing. 😊

[@dianeuranowski3694]

I agree 100% w everything you expressed so very well!. Plus, I just watched as I couldn't paint along in the location I was in & I was delighted by the whole video and All of your comments. I'm a beginner w water colors & I find I get stuck on on the starting point. This lesson got me past that; it was very FREEING, especially with the addition of the pens which gives it new dimensions . prior to watching your video I had a wonderful experience that opened me up in a way that allowed me to fully appreciate & fully benefit from your instruction in this video. I tried to paint a single, large blossom of a butterfly bush from my garden. I just let myself go and used blues, purples leaving white space, and I bloomed, pushed & pulled the colors- then used small dabs of yellow and red on the center blooms. I cannot say how excited I became-- I was truly present and learning as I observed how the paints melded, and the colors interacted. I was not just following a tutorial - I guess it was a state of flow. I experienced that again JUST Watching YOU PAINT! I can't wait to paint along with you as soon as I am able ( having a bad flare up of my arthritis in my hands). Thank you for this video - it has reached me in a remarkable way & I am truly grateful !😊❤

[@elizabethsimmerman9625]

I am intrigued.. I cannot watch it now but I am definitely going to watch it tomorrow! Can you please list or tell me about the fine-point ink pens you use? Are they waterproof? I am brand spanking new to this!

[@geinabongiorno2993]

Love the way you talk us through the work slowly … so many people talk so fast and move so fast… such a pleasure to watch you work. Thank you!

[@susanfontaine5214]

Cecee has been around many years. She has changed styles and mediums several times. Her watercolors are spectacular.

[@drukendall9456]

What fun. Love all this watercolour playfulness. I also warch Diane Antone. Her work is Whimsical and loose.

[@deirdrelewis1454]

I’ve only just found your channel but am already hooked! I’m pretty useless at painting but I can do this. You really are an inspiration to us wannabes who have no talent but who like to mess with paint, pens and pencils. I also find it therapeutic.

[@_dom_97]

Hey, you dont need talent to be good at art! Not every artist is born talented - they just work harder to develop and hone their skill. You CAN do it, dont give up!

now, these are beautiful!!!not just "doodles", but, it has a form! thenx for showing!

[@christarayhilllemons6168]

I love CeeCee too! She’s the first watercolor artist I followed! I love your doodling and will try this. Thank you.

[@fazestorm4441]

I love CeCe she's such a wonderful artist she can really loosen you up I mean she can start people painting again if you haven't painted in years

[@lynneellis2647]

I love this. I do watch CeeCee and am excited to check out the Danish Painter. I have trouble staying loose. Although I work primarily in pastels and watercolor, I think we can benefit from watching any creative process, from wood turning, clay, oils, watercolor, etc. There is inspiration to glean from any artistic endeavor.

[@kschickle916]

This video is everything I wanted and needed on this day. I’ve already been loving doodling in a zentangle sort of way but adding my new-found love of watercolor…icing on the cake. Thank you a bajillion times over for this video gift.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so very much

[@GaganaMD]

So glad to have stumbled across your videos. This is just so therapeutic. Thank you for making one of these.

[@marlbboro8091]

Ceecee is the reason I stopped fearing watercolour and painting in general. She is so inspirational. Love your video ❤️🙏🏽

[@muse2aire]

I paused to watch because of the colors. You definitely have a gift for teaching. I’ve never tried water color but I’m going to try this for my journals. Thanks for referring the other artists. 22:57

[@blackpoppymagazine]

So happy to find your site! I was recommended from the One ToothMoose lady, so i was super happy to find u both today. Please dont worry about long chatty videos, they are a great way to 'paintali g' with tthe artist, without being one thats 10min and u have to go off anf do it alone, this way we get to paint with you and thats so cool and very instructive. I LOVE uour style and cant wait to watch all your videos!! Tha ks for sharing your talent!

[@jennlizzy2019]

I am a big fan of CeeCee. I enjoyed this projects and I am happy I found your channel. Watercoloring and doodles ARE stress releasing and fun. 😊

[@stephaniecespedes5959]

I e been in the water color mood so I’m definitely trying this out and adding alcohol drop ❤

[@skabettispaghetti5451]

This was such fun to watch. I'm a beginner and bookmarked it, so will try it in the future. I think metallic permanent markers would be beautiful on this.

[@annfletcher4853]

Was mesmerized. Not sure I'll try but would definitely watch again. I found it very interesting. Loved what you created. I would hang any of them on my wall. Thank you for sharing.

[@Rockwooddream]

This video came up on my list today. I loved it. This method just excites my heart and tickles my brain. I can’t wait to pull out my watercolors and get started. I draw, doodle and tangle and have done so for years. I don’t know why it never occurred to me to do it wit watercolor. Everything in it’s time. Thank you so much. 😊

[@MarekBromberek]

I am experiencing a fear of an empty page. But I will certainly try it soon. Wish me luck.

[@deenichols2055]

You’re very pleasant to watch and listen to and I love these watercolor/doodles!! I’m going to do some too, it does look so therapeutic!

[@kathythiessen3362]

With those colors and the circles it put me in mind of an old map. Which I love. I haven’t painted in a year and this would be great way to ease back into it.

[@nancyrallen]

I lovr this exercise of doodling. These are so interesting and mysterious when you look at the finished projects.. Yes I will definetly try this!! Thanks for the fun video. Hugs.

[@nansnook3920]

Never thought doodling could make such beautiful art pieces😊

[@Allie-ck2lj]

Your comment is quite lovely. Who would have thought?.....right?

[@Miastrong930]

My favorite colors. Also,it just happens that I enjoy making random marks and swirls which I fill in with parallel lines. Filling in with parallel lines is my favorite part. Love your doodles. Funny thing my friends call it art. I call it doodles.

[@thecreativecove6898]

I think the process is doodles and the end result is art ?! Random marks is what this is all about. Your gonna have lots of fun! Thank you 😊

[@suzannederoth7833]

I love the convergence of watercolor and zentangles!

[@susanweber6861]

This is an excellent video! I struggle with just letting it flow on the paper and you demonstrated that perfectly

[@carolynpicken6949]

Love love love….the color pallet is wonderful. What fun

[@embush222]

Thank You for this video. I came upon it again and realized it was one of the first influences I saw "seriously" using doodling and mark making. Sooo relaxing! It changed where I was going, informed choices, and lighted inspiration! You rock! God bless!

[@heathersilverio7057]

So relaxing to watch this. I definitely will be trying this

[@lynette.]

Watching the patterns grow is inspiring and relaxing at the same time.

[@QuixLand]

Oh my goodness.. I'm new to painting and watercolors are my favorite. This is so fun to watch and I can imagine it is fun to do.! I can't wait to do these..! I just need to go purchase some doodle pens.!! Thank you.. I think I can do this without so much fear building up..!! jo

[@sandiharkin9922]

I really like this technique. It looks very therapeutic! Iam definitely going to give this a try! Thank you for sharing!

[@gerricalpin4825]

Love your tech nique and the pleasent way of your presentation. I have loved to doodle for years but never put it to art

[@susiehopper7005]

It's rare for me to watch a long form video all the way through unless coincidentally it's Cece. I loved seeing your process. I feel like you make it very accessible with the explanation of your process. And I would also say that I have never worked along with anyone, but in this case, I am going to gather some supplies and do that as I rewatch your work. Your finished results are so stunning, I would hang any one of them on my wall. I really appreciated your sharing your process and the explanations of why you're making the choices you are. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@MedED3424]

Fall in luv with ur artwork...............dammm good ..........amzing piece of art ..the color and texture blending truly mesmerizing ..made by day ...hope u wil bring some more piece of thesework ...lots of luv ...ur new subs...

[@candybarnes2949]

Can't wait to try this! I'm learning watercolor, and this is another approach that I find interesting.

[@Gigi2four]

I’m so glad this came up in my feed❤️. I’ve been looking for more of this type of art since I found CeeCee. Thanks for the video!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you. 😊

[@tonyagibbs7378]

Oh I love your doodles. What a great way to use up your paint palette color too. Putting just the water color splashes in your travel journal for long road trips or wait times in doctor offices are great ways to pass the time with a white and black gel pen. Thanks for the inspiration. Oh I love CC too! Her videos are amazing.

[@43Marjorie]

Wonderful. I must do this. Thank you for sharing.

[@marjoriemuths8099]

Love watercolor doodles! Great instruction. Thanks for sharing.💕

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊

[@stlounsbury]

They are extremely beautiful. It’s funny, I recently cut up some of my dud watercolors and made little cards from the good parts. It’s so fun when they come back to an exciting end product. So happy to see this video. Thank you.

[@judybrayer3740]

Thank you for all the videos and enjoy visiting ,,so glad there’s no music cause then you usually can’t hear but again thank you for all you share,,hugs

[@scrapstobeautybyzandra]

These are so cool! Yes, I love CeeCee she is awesome. TFS

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you. Ya she really is 😊

[@TariHuffaker]

I have watched this again after following along with another of your videos. This time your mention of different geometric shapes made me this of something I learned in Neurographica. Circles represent safety and harmony. Squares represent solidity and firmness. Triangles represent energy and focus. I think that is why most of us like circles. Thanks for your videos.

[@littleredwagonstudio]

I’ve watched ceecee since she was a paper artist … she is amazing!! Love love her and just found you and I absolutely love you also!! Xoxo

[@thecreativecove6898]

She really is. Thank you 😊

[@patriciasmith9039]

I love this technique…reminds me somewhat of Zentangle…the circle is my favorite shape…so interesting to see what takes shape…

[@Seneca85]

These pieces look so delicious and intricate, but freeing. I’m definitely going to play with this technique. 🌸

[@WanderingTyeDyedRoze]

Great video, I am inspired to try water colors. I doodle to release my mind forever, but this is the next dimension. Thank you for sharing!

[@cathyrae8323]

I am hooked on Cee Cee, now I’m hooked on you! I did one yesterday and sold it before the ink was dry! I’m new to watercolor, and I love it. I love this because is so loose and not as many rules! Keep on keepin ‘ on!

[@suechadwick121]

I absolutely love this. I'm going to give this ago. Thank you for sharing. Also, very relaxed watching you. X

[@gailk3136]

I've been doing this kind of thing for many years. It's great when you are recuperating from surgery. And it's fun!!!

[@patriciasmither6397]

Yes! Love this demonstration. It’s going to get me going back to pen and ink with watercolor.

[@kathybellamy5207]

I will definitely be trying this! Love it!

[@garjanakosanke5137]

I enjoyed your video and design thoroughly. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@amandalongoni]

Yesterday I was telling my boyfriend about your videos and how I love the fact there’re not edited. They’re organic, authentic and natural, which I feel is what the internet is missing. I always left your videos felling so inspired, thank you for that! Hugs from the Atacama Desert, Chile! ❤

[@janstarr496]

So you know… this is exactly what I needed. I’m taking a pen and ink class, and the final project is mixed media. I wanted to do something abstract, unlike most of the other students, but didn’t know where to start. I haven’t used watercolor before, so your video is perfect for me. It’s much less intimidating than trying to draw a scene or an object. Thank you so much! I love the rest of your videos also.

[@mogziepayne864]

Wowzeer👍 I’ve been pondering for some inspiration this past month and this caught my eye by chance. It’s a rainy day so a great excuse to have a go at your doodling method. It looks beautiful I’m excited to have a go. Thank you for the inspiration 🥰🖼️🙏☕️🫖 enjoy your tea

[@smd4646]

What a wonderful lesson you gave us! Thank you and please do this more often. Can’t wait to play.

[@laurapuchalski7402]

The two girls who love the gold! You and Cee Cee. She got me started painting again after over 40 years! Glad to see you build up her work. Have fun! It’s just beautiful!😎

[@donnacarraway9182]

Thank you so much! Loving your channel! Just started doodling after having admired it forever! Your channel is so helpful in so many ways!! Glad I finally found you!! My mind is going crazy with the jj tag possibilities! For bright colors in tags I also like Susanne rose art on KZbin, I just like her color choices for some things. I am making a fairy journal and find that lots of styles will help with that! I especially like your fairy houses and mushrooms! You are helping me so much!!💕💕

[@amv4000smom]

I really enjoyed painting along with you. I need to wait until it dries before I start doodling. Thanks so much. Yours turned out so beautiful.

[@thecreativecove6898]

That can be the hardest part. Lol

[@margaretpinsent6388]

This is a gorgeous technique! Love your watercolours too. It's like an meditation in art. Thank you.

[@joburrow9863]

Beautiful. I played around with watercolor and found out I could do all kinds of drawings over it. I was so thrilled. This technique is just great for those who are afraid of water colors. I hope they will try it. Thanks for sharing.

[@trinapatterson8872]

Love the doodle over your watercolor, I’m going to give it a try

[@sharon00069262T]

I love your work and the best thing is I can see it. Many artists use pencil to start but I have difficulty seeing it on a white page. I really appreciate your videos that show darker pencil/pen images that are easier to see. Thank you.

[@womaninattic]

this is great! It is a wonderful combination of water colour and doodles or tangles.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊

[@CaticornArtz]

This is my favorite thing to do with watercolors. Helps you be in the moment without perfection. Thank you for the amazing video and beautiful pieces! ♥

[@FluffyJvideo]

I can watch you all day! Lovely!

[@bunnytoes7200]

You have brought me back to the folio I put together over a weekend as part of my application for acceptance to a school of industrial design in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area eons ago. I was accepted on the strength of that portfolio but not before a failed attempt to convince me I needed to consider fashion design! As I recall there were prerequisite guidelines which challenged me. What a delight both to create for my application and be accepted but also to stretch myself creatively. It’s been inspiring.

[@sheila95472]

These are so intriguing! They remind me of an atlas with the flow of Klimt. The contrast of the structured black and the flow of the colors! They are just beautiful! Thanks for showing us the process.

[@ritapetty7482]

Love it! I love almost anything watercolor!

[@annettefowler2331]

Great tips. Your color choices are key. I've started as a scrapbooker and I'm transitioning into alcohol ink and watercolor. Color combinations and patterns are what makes or breaks the project and you seem to have a natural gift for both! Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@ewlong1031]

This looks so fun that it inspired me to pull out my watercolors and start prepping some sheets so I can add inkwork tomorrow! Thanks for sharing these techniques.

[@charlenebyington7405]

You are awesome too...l love both you and Ceecee. I just started and having so much fun learning from both of you. Thanks so much for sharing. 🌿💕🌿

[@Lindas5811]

I love this technique, so loose and something I could probably do. Thank you

[@thecreativecove6898]

Have fun with it !! Thank you

[@MaharaTucker]

You said that you don't communicate very well, but I disagree. You are fun, relaxed, and very informative. Watercolor is not even my normal medium. You are so chill about everything, that you have me wanting to give it a go! Thanks.

[@shirleylum2198]

I love your process videos because it's very soothing. I just made a few purchases to support your work from your etsy. I'll be giving this fun experimental doodling a try. Thank you so much for being here.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Oh thank you. That is so much appreciated. 😊. I hope you enjoy them and the video. Have fun with it! 😊

[@grannygrimson]

Thank you for filming throughout this piece in real time. I agree with previous comments about it being therapeutic to watch you and hear your thoughts as you work. The finished piece looks so much more complicated. Truly enjoyed and will watch again and draw along with you😊

[@millyfluidart7482]

Beautiful, Love your creativity, thanks for sharing your wonderful talent

[@24cts]

Thank you - I’ve been doing landscapes in Oil Paints for awhile now - but I LOVE playing with gouache when I’m painting outside in my sketch book - and have been experimenting with water color and drawing .. this is perfect and sooo much fun. I need some creative activities that I can use as warm up’s too .. before I place my brush on a painting I’ve been working on for hours the prior day .. I need to get warmed up - creatively !!

[@normafavela6058]

It's so relaxing to watch you and don't mind the rambling. Love the way it coming all together. I definitely need to try it.

[@tracker5849]

I have none of these supplies but I'm will try this in the near future....this is beautiful...love the leaves..I'm a nature person

[@cherylsandberg7732]

What a beautiful idea. I'm adventurous with paint and recently paper.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Awesome have a fun with it. 😊

[@caroldurst2834]

This is wonderful! Trying to teach myself to watercolor at the age of 79….your happy style speaks to me!!!! Thank you so much! Will play catch-up watching your videos…just found you…..have a happy day!!!!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Wonderful! Thank you 😊

[@joannepeyton1654]

Carol, this is a great project to practice with watercolors. So loose and fun! She gives really good pointers and ideas. Enjoy!

[@annavarinsky1838]

I def will try this technique. Love the contrast of the loose painted watercolor background and the tightly controlled doodle patterns that add interest and definition to the piece. Thanks for sharing your expertise in such a lovely project!

[@denisegardner2373]

When I first saw your intro I thought holy moly. I wish I could create like that. I created along with you and because of your awesome tutorial. I was able to achieve a piece I like. Who knew. I am hooked. Thank you so much for your great instruction. Had a lot of fun. 😁👍

[@doreethorpe4800]

Love this! I have a page drying now and watercolored over a doodle page in my doodle book where I am doodling and painting over book pages. Fun!! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@user-jm6pu8um2c]

Love it! Totally inspirational! Many thanks.

[@staceface4303]

Thank you for this! I've been doing things with circles lately and this is giving me new ideas. Your work is lovely!

[@MickeyC321]

Fun and informative video. Thank you…I love what you did.

[@janejones8525]

I am definitely going to try this! Love doodling patterns, and it looks great on the watercolors. Thanks for the idea.

[@gloriasking23]

I love this! Thank you for your very inspirational video. I now know what I’m going to do with my new box of watercolour paints I was given for my birthday! I used to paint years ago and am very rusty - this fun approach is a whole lot less daunting than trying to paint landscape or still life! Thank you. 🙏

[@margoadias]

You are inspiring me so much! As soon as my shoulder heals a bit so I can hold the brush, in two months maybe, I’m trying this! Thank you so much for your talents!

[@user-wy8in7pj9x]

It’s a good lesson in design! Lots of creative fun!

[@Nathalieroy2624]

I really like this kind of project, it is not intimidating for beginners… thank you!! It is really pretty.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊

[@daniellereed4323]

I absolutely love this idea! It's nice for when I don't have a solid idea and just want to lay down paint.
