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.
Watching your videos is therapeutic - I love your voice and tutorials. 💚💚💚
Thank you!
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!
Lol....Thanks so much Deanna. It's always a struggle.😊
You’re a brilliant comedian as well as an accomplished teacher !
Thank you Kate. 💕
1:03 Thank you for generously sharing your considerable talent as an artist and teacher. I’ve learnt so much. Myra.
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
Wonderful! Thanks so much Helen. 💕
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!
Thank you very much Caryn! 💕
@ Caryn, you could not have said it better! I love your our=t takes they make me laugh every time!
@@largaparker6370 Absolutely! Me too. Louise is fantastic to watch.
Thank you, Louise. I've learned so much from your videos. I've enjoyed being one of your Patreon members.
Love your sense of humor
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!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you.
A brilliant presentation on capturing the light in shadows ( a paradox presenting the truth) !
Amazing! I could watch you paint all day long. Going to try this today
I am addicted to her, she is amazing artist and person
I’m really enjoying your clear and concise teaching Louise.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you Karen.
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 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.
Great step by step instructional video. I will go back and make notes for reference. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Essie.
I love your videos. You are a great teacher! Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thank you And!
I love your videos. They’re incredibly helpful. I also get a chuckle from your outtakes, you silly girl. 😄
What a soft voice! asmr for days!
Love the last bit! A prefect video requests lots of NG.
Thanks for the lovely tutorial and your 'bloopers.' Gives me an extra appreciation of the work behind creating the polished version.
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 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Marie.
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!
Thank you so much Rei. I hope I don't sound like a broken record 🥴😘.
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
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"!
Thank you so much Joy!
So endearing to know that other people mix up their words as well. In my case "thier" has always been a problem
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
You really taught me a lot about. cast shadows today. I am glad I watched it
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.
Lol...🥴 Thanks Suzanne. I haven't made a full length tutorial of the capsicum but I can.
You are beautiful! Thank-you for your teachings and your humour.. much needed.. blessings, ❤️Marie
Inspiring, helpful and a joy to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Gwen.
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 loved the outtakes. They are the best. 😂
Thank you! It's a battle for me. I've got to laugh at myself or I'll cry. 😝
same here. I was dying.
Thank you so very much for this video. You inspire me!

Hello Mrs. De Masi,
Would you consider making a video about how you decided which colors to use in a painting?
Thank you
That was very useful... Thanks :)
You’re priceless. Love watching you.

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.
Thanks Rupali. Being in front of the camera is always a challenge for me but I'm determined to get better at it. 💕
beautiful...lots of layers!
Thank you! Yes quite a few. 😊

Thank you very much Saraswati! ❤️
Beautiful - I really like your style. Thanks for your lessons - they are really helpful.
Glad you like them! Thanks Jennifer.
Really fun at the end! The capsicum - or bell pepper as we would call it in the U.S. - came out beautifully!
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.
Looks delicious. Great explanations as usual. I'm sure this will be very helpful.
Thank you Mary! 💕
This video was really helpful and educational. Thanks so much.
So glad! Thank you.
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!!
Very nice work
Sweet video and I love listening to your voice btw😊❤😊
I loved that! I am learning SO much from your lovely tutorials! Thanks so much for sharing your talent and time!
Thanks so much Cherie. 😊
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 ❤❤
Thank you so much for another video 😍
You are welcome! Thank you Jayson.
@@LouiseDeMasi i really enjoy all your tutorials. Aside from the learnings, your bloopers help ease our stress caused by this pandemic. Hope you and your family are always safe! Thank you again. 💛
Thank you for your outstanding videos, I am learning a lot! And then at the end you give us a laugh too, 😁!
I'm glad! Thank you Tara.
I really enjoy your videos. With your bloopers I think you are very hard on yourself. I completely get what you mean :-)
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 for the wonderful video! Saunders Waterford is my absolute favorite & most preferred watercolor paper. 💕
Wonderful! Thank you Barbra.
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
Wonderful! I'm glad. Thank you Eva.
So cute! Loved the tutorial and the bloopers. Here in Texas we call that a bell pepper. So cool! I learned tonite.
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
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!)
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
hahahahahaha,love it and thank you!
Thank you too!
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.
Great vídeo! Thanks for sharing! Peace!
Thanks Henrique.
So useful to see the exact dilution of pigment you use for the initial shadow mix. I always end up doing lots of tests off to the side to get it right(ish). I think that shadows are so stressful because they can so easily ruin a piece that was going really well for ages! And sometimes you have to move your brain from intricate/delicate mode (painting the object) to a looser/charging style. However much I plan, shadows always seem to require a bit of courage- get in there, hope you get the tone right, get out and cross your fingers it dries right!
I absolutely love your work and this "Bell Pepper" looks delicious! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much Sherri!
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.
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! 💜
Thank you Linden. 💕
