You are the most soft spoken teacher i ever had. More power to you

not only are your videos succinct and helpful, but your voice is very pleasant and relaxing. Thank you for this video. I've been struggling with shadows.

1:03 Thank you for generously sharing your considerable talent as an artist and teacher. I’ve learnt so much. Myra.

Not only are you a brilliant artist and inspiring teacher, you are a delightful comedian - even if not by choice. Thank you for the sweet fun at the conclusion of your video!

Watching your videos is therapeutic - I love your voice and tutorials. 💚💚💚

I've watched other watercolourisrs with water and colour flooding every where and splashing and I know I never want to paint that way.then I discover this sweet talking girl using all this wonderful,intricate detail.great tuition,mind blowing art.thank you for sharing this talent.I am totally mesmerised

Thank you, Louise. I've learned so much from your videos. I've enjoyed being one of your Patreon members.

You’re a brilliant comedian as well as an accomplished teacher !

If I ever paint anything decent, it will be solely because of you. I hear your voice in my head all the time now, "drop the color, "to add interest", "to disturb the paint"... :) And please never stop teaching and adding those precious comedy gems in the end!

Love your sense of humor

I got a good chuckle at your outtakes especially when you said "A lot of beginner watercolor painters struggle with cast shadows.....they do". You're too cute!!!! LOL.

A brilliant presentation on capturing the light in shadows ( a paradox presenting the truth) !

What a soft voice! asmr for days!

I am addicted to her, she is amazing artist and person

Louise, I absolutely adore your outtakes! As a matter of fact, I look forward to them! You are so cute... especially when you talk to yourself!! In all seriousness your artistic abilities are beyond compare and I’m so grateful I get to learn from you! Thank you!

Your video is so informative and helpful! Thanks a million! Great for beginners and I love your accent /soft spoken voice to boot. In the US, capsicums are known as bell peppers and poivrons in French 😊

Amazing! I could watch you paint all day long. Going to try this today

I love watching your videos! They are educational and relaxing. And I look forward to the bonus footage at the end! 😊 Thank you for making these awesome videos.

I love your videos. They’re incredibly helpful. I also get a chuckle from your outtakes, you silly girl. 😄

Thanks for the lovely tutorial and your 'bloopers.' Gives me an extra appreciation of the work behind creating the polished version.

I learned a lot about shadows, and I had a good laugh on the outtakes! I needed a good laugh...you are so cute! Thank you for the instruction. It is clear and concise!

Finding water coloring to be the hardest medium done so far! Love the way you show how to paint. In most videos (just a beginner) and person has whole painting done & have no idea how they did it (just keep adding water) did not turn out well lol! Ty

So endearing to know that other people mix up their words as well. In my case "thier" has always been a problem

Love the last bit! A prefect video requests lots of NG.

An other wonderful video. So glad to hear that the full capsicum video is on Patreon for me. Now those outtakes are hilarious! Thanks for taking the time to edit and put them in.

Louise, I really like your tutorials. Your explanations are simple and clear and you have such a nice soft voice, much like your watercolor paintings.

I’m really enjoying your clear and concise teaching Louise.

Great step by step instructional video. I will go back and make notes for reference. Thank you!

You are beautiful! Thank-you for your teachings and your humour.. much needed.. blessings, ❤️Marie

I love your videos. You are a great teacher! Thanks for sharing your talent.

Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your knowledge Louise. I always learn something from your tutorials and find them enjoyable and inspirational

Inspiring, helpful and a joy to watch.

You really taught me a lot about. cast shadows today. I am glad I watched it

I just so love watching your videos - you’re so humble and real, but just an awesome teacher too. I think the bloopers are so adorably funny. Thanks for everything that you do.

Your videos are the BEST!!!

Thank you Louise, great tutorial on the layering technique for the capsicum and the shadow “charging”.

I just discovered your wonderful channel. You speak so well and give such outstanding, practical advice. Filming is also excellent. BTW, we love your Aussie series, like "Jack Irish" and "A Place to Call Home"!

Hello Mrs. De Masi, Would you consider making a video about how you decided which colors to use in a painting? Thank you

I Absolutely LOVE your videos ❤️❤️❤️

That was so nice!! What I loved most is that you used the word capcicum as we do in India too!! I used to get all confused when in some places people say peppers!! As you know in India we say pepper for a black pepper condiment!! Thank you for your excellent inputs and sharing of knowledge as always!!

You’re priceless. Love watching you.

I’m glad I watched to the end. 🤗Loved it! The video was very informative.

Louise, your videos are amazing! You are so talented, great teacher and so funny!

This is amazing, I came to KZfaq looking for a way to add a shadow to a pumpkin I painted. Leaving with a new subscription :)

I loved the outtakes. They are the best. 😂

behind the scenes was awesome! 😀I have been watching ur videos here and on Patreon for a while now. Didn't realise at all that there were retakes when you speak...I thought u were real natural.

Thank you so very much for this video. You inspire me!

The technique I need badly now in my learning process🙏🏻

Really fun at the end! The capsicum - or bell pepper as we would call it in the U.S. - came out beautifully!

Thanks for the lesson and..... Love the outtakes!!!!

thank you sooooooooo much. im new with watercolor. its too hard to make shadows for me. now i will try your tips

Love your works and paintings. Thanks for tips and techniques on watercolor. ❤️

Thank you. Loved all the examples you showed at the end. Just beautiful! The dog was adorable!

I love the way you created depths in the pepper. So cool!

Fantastic tutorial , I’m learning a lot from you!

I would like to know how you developed your amazing skills.. what techniques you use, what’s your workflow, your method/tricks/materials/tools etc.. do you use photos as your reference while you draw? do you do any preparations before you dive in? Video tutorials about how you go about creating these amazing pieces would be very interesting to watch.

Most searched topic ❤thanks

Wow watching you my eye keeps going to your back room window with the drapes in the light coming through and then in front of that are the wood beams. I think it would make a lovely painting. Linda

oh wow! how I I wish I could draw and paint like you! my supplies arent great but I am making progress (at least I think so, lol) Thanks for sharing!

This is sooooo valuable Louise !! Now i can better differentiate between cast and form shadows. And I’ll look more intently for the colour reflection in the cast shadows next time I paint

Thank you!! Needed this lesson today.

I loved that! I am learning SO much from your lovely tutorials! Thanks so much for sharing your talent and time!

As always an amazing tutorial. Love love love your work !! You are an amazing artist !

Thank you for your outstanding videos, I am learning a lot! And then at the end you give us a laugh too, 😁!

This video was really helpful and educational. Thanks so much.

Sweet video and I love listening to your voice btw😊❤😊

Love this! Thank you! I love your tutorials. 💕

I really enjoy your videos. With your bloopers I think you are very hard on yourself. I completely get what you mean :-)

I so look forward to your videos. Thank you!

You let me gain back more confidence on watercolor on your charging tutorial (I kept failing as I can’t seem to get over my hard edges and layering!)

Beautiful - I really like your style. Thanks for your lessons - they are really helpful.

Really very helpful tutorial 👍

I've been following your channel for over a month. I really like to watch your videos and I think I learn a lot from you. Thank you so much for sharing.

I love your work and videos so much! The outtakes at the end are super fun, shows a sweet side of your personality. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.🙏🏽😊

Love your videos!.... and your teaching style. It is very clear . Thank you. Love the bloopers too.

Thank you so much for sharing this video's , it is very useful for me🌷🙏

I've learnt so much from your videos Louise! You have transformed my watercolour skills. Thank you for sharing your style and techniques with us XXX

Great demo thank you Louise

beautiful...lots of layers!

Wow, I was just scribbling some light gray around the bottom of my paintings for shadows. What a difference to learn the correct way of doing a shadow. I am excited to do a realistic shadow with all the colors ("charging") ! Every video I learn so much and you explain it in a calm and easy way. Thank you !

Very very nice. Thank you. Can you also show us black like in the crows you've painted. I can't do a scenery and hopefully you'll teach us one soon

OMG! Those bloopers need to be mandatory on every video! I just absolutely killed myself laughing.... (not literally - I'm still here typing this) Just too funny!

There are more than a few tips that painting veterans can learn from. A Friday highlight as always.

Hi Louise, just wanted to sayI loved this video! So helpful and it really hits home because I have recently painted a very red dahlia so you have taught me to keep going with red in layers to get the right tone. Also I have separately painted some gum leaves and a dried banksia cone which had some interesting shadows which I painted too dark. In addition I tried painting the shadow at the same time as the leaves. By doing it after the object is finished makes it clearer to get the correct shape 💃 I am going to try again! Thank you

Thanks for sharing such tips

Very helpful thanks

So cute! Loved the tutorial and the bloopers. Here in Texas we call that a bell pepper. So cool! I learned tonite.

Thank you soo much! This is an incredible tutorial. I now completely understand how cast shadows work and I'm gonna start practising it now :) Thank you again you're an amazing teacher ❤❤

Once again, beautiful! Love your outtakes.

Fantastic

So nice watercolor work 👍

That was very useful... Thanks :)

Louise, Your gardenia is spectacular! Were you painting flat or on an angle? Are the paintings you showed originals or prints? They are so bright and cheery. You made me laugh out loud at your outtakes! Thank you for your wonderful tutorial.

Thanks! I wished to see how you might manage to blend the lightest colours around the capsicum near the cast shadow. I think that light tones are pretty interesting to create more dept and dimensionality to the capsicum per se. Thank you so much for sharing.

Very nice work

I absolutely love your work and this "Bell Pepper" looks delicious! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for another video 😍

Thank you for the wonderful video! Saunders Waterford is my absolute favorite & most preferred watercolor paper. 💕

Looks delicious. Great explanations as usual. I'm sure this will be very helpful.

Louise~ I love your work and your tutorials so much! I haven't started painting just yet - I'm waiting for some materials to arrive. Meanwhile, I have been watching sooo many of your videos, here and on SkillShare. I have always wanted to learn painting, and I am so excited! In pottery, there are stains and washes that can be used for surface decoration in a similar way to watercolor - so this will be a way to develop a new skill that will cross over into my pottery. Anyway, I appreciate your time and efforts! 💜
