It’s been a couple years since you made this video, so you may not see this comment. It was such a joy to see you doing “slow“ artwork. We are entering a scary time with AI and I am just happy to continue the tradition of doing “slow” art. Hope you are continuing to go strong.

I don’t know what I love more from this video honestly your voice, your thoughts, the painting or the music 🎶. Everything here is just beautiful 😍

@abryant1050 4 месяца назад

That's exactly my thoughts

@patrickgallant2450 3 года назад

I have been in a creative block because of the boundaries put upon us, and rules and limitations have crept into my psyche, making me feel closed inside and out. I have a feeling that this way of painting will not only relax me, but make me look at creating in a whole new freeing light. This is lovely, and the background music is perfect. As a child I use to ask my mom to make a squiggle on a piece of paper and I'd see what I could make out of it. I remember it being so much fun, and challenging. I am so glad you brought forth this memory that I'd forgotten. I may use it again. Mom is 93 now and to make something beautiful out of something she started would be not only a challenge, but putting a piece of her into my art. Thank you so much.

@maureenkyle2530 4 года назад

I’ve read that anything that you do that is repetitive but requires concentration is a form of meditation. It quiets the mind and reduces anxiety. Doodling, painting, knitting... anything like that! Thank you for continuing with your videos and sharing your thought process, CeeCee! Stay well

You are communicating with heart relevance! You have helped me A lot with depression, getting inspired and not feeling so alone. Much of what you say is meaningful, memorable and very wise.

I knew this was an essential video to download. Driving my car yesterday, I played only the audio. Just that was a southing tonic, enough to concentrate on your expression of treating one's self well; being kind, going (literally!) with the flow. Thank you.

@nancyblair9862 3 года назад

I remember as a kid, we would make big scribbles all over the paper and then color all the spaces in! I forgot until you mentioned it! They can be simple (only 5 or 6 spaces) -- or very complicated - scribble all over page over and over! It is GREAT for any age! I suppose that it would work in Black and white too! Great for bored kids!👏👏👏👏👏👏💗💗💗💗💗

@krismua1209 4 года назад

Drawing squiggly lines and then filling them in with doodling is like zentangle. Very relaxing and meditative.

This is such a beautiful and relaxing video to watch. I completely understand your anxiety and struggle with it so much myself. I am struggling to get my youtube channel to grow and find watching your beautiful art kind of puts it all back into perspective for me.

@cloverrabbit5622 3 года назад

Your videos are absolutely relaxing to watch. You make everything look so effortless. And YES, doodling is FUN!

Thank you for these videos. The painting, the open door to creativity, your voice, and the music all help cope with the adverse effects of too much isolation and a world that has become hard to recognize. Thank you, too, for sharing your own approach to this and taking us along for the journey.

@susanm5802 3 года назад

CeeCee, thank you! For sharing your process, for sharing your beautiful art! I love the idea of intuitive art, but have been afraid to try it ... definitely out of my comfort zone! But watching you inspires me so much...your voice is so soothing and your words are so inspiring ! Thank you!!

This is stunning, but it's more than that. I was feeling some of the effects of this situation we're in this morning and you reminded me I need to get back to being creative every day! I have some 140# cotton watercolor paper punched out to fit my disc journal and I'm going to go spatter some paint and try to follow your 5 tips. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your talent and your techniques. My talent is more of the wanna be than the real, but it is enough to keep me trying and using the creativity that I have. I do appreciate you and what you are accomplishing!

@magee113 3 года назад

I LOVE painting with you and FINALLY put in my order for the Kremer Gold, Bronze and Siver Watercolors. I can't wait until they get here!!! Thank you so much for continuing to post to RU-vid and sharing your talents, your calming way of approaching "painter's block" and sharing your resources with all of us. Going through chemo/radiation 5 days a week can be super stressful and downright scary. You have such a way of speaking to my heart and my muse, that each day I can't wait to come home and paint with you, whether it be an old favorite posting or something fresh and new. You are one of my healing angels!! Thank you CeeCee!!!! Have a wonderful week!!

@debramoss2267 4 года назад

I have to remind myself that it is something to do that is there for me to enjoy, a private indulgence, that I may share, or keep the whole bliss secret. My health precludes it so often that this is more true. Knowing this is a good motivation and gives me a build up of inspiration for the next burst. Thank you for being a spark of light fuelling this 🙏

I really appreciate you sharing this process you went through and sharing some more great painting and doodling! In February as a person brand new to watercolor painting, I was watching videos and came across yours. The first one I saw was "Doodling with Gold and White."

I love your voice in my noisy negative voice in my head. I am so grateful for you!

I'm so very lucky to have come across your video's which are so mind expanding yet calming at the same time. Yes, when you slow down and repeat drawing lines it does calm your inner self, almost like meditating with color.. Thank you so much for your ability to share your inner self which will permeate to all who follow you.
