Just wanted to add that the coolness of these outdoor shadows is thanks to weaker ambient blue light from the sky bouncing all over the place. The shadows are an absence of direct light, but of course light must be bouncing in that region or else the shadow would appear completely black. Most ambient light is from the sky, so the shadows appear bluer, cooler. If the ambient light from the sky was orange, shadows would appear warmer
I'm so thankful I found your channel!! I wish I'd taken art classes from you growing up. I passed up three different chances to take FREE lessons offered to me by artists who thought I had something special. Unfortunately, I didn't believe it, and gave up on going to college for Art (blew a free ride to go to Ringling Bros Art Uni and a guaranteed job at Disney!!!) and went for my other passion - writing - and picked up journalism instead. But my oh my, now I'm 46yrs old having to "teach myself" the basics - color theory, mixing colors, perspective, etc. ... and you know what? I'm LOVING it!! Lol ***So, here's a FREE Lesson - Don't be stubborn, too shy, or think you aren't good enough to live your dreams! You're HERE, watching this wonderful, fabulously explained video! We can do it!*** And being an artist is NOT all (or even *at all* ) about having talent! It's about passion, motivation to learn, and then practice, practice, practice what we're taught! Thank you so much for these lessons, Mrs. Dianne! Blessings!! ❤👩🏻🎨🎨🖌❤
You are a sweet, delightful, charming, amusing, and skillful teacher! It's wonderful to learn from someone who can get the knowledge from their brain and put it through their speech! Thank you! 🙂
Diane, God bless you. Learned from you more than any full length instructional dvd on the market. You are like David leffel, a calm soul , a master artist.
Thank you SO much for this wonderful and clear instruction. I have struggled with shadows for so long. I finally understand how to make them look real. You are a talented teacher! Thank you again!!
Thank you so much my friend, for so generously sharing your vast wealth of knowledge so others to enjoy painting too. You made a complicated subject easily understood
Aha!! Thank you so much for this eye-opening quick tip💡!! I'm still a wee beginner and am muddling my way through (with acrylics). Your QTs are packed with so much valuable instruction, and I also love your teaching style. Thank you!
In 1996 I attended your classes in Clarkesville. My two sons had joined the military six months apart and were gone across the ocean. I was a mess. You are such a good teacher. I won't be famous for my art but you gave me something to focus on and I have enjoyed so much drawing, painting using Prisma color pencils. I just happened upon your videos. Like so many years ago, you are still teaching. I am delighted to find you on RUclips.
Well, well, Elaine! What a treat to meet up with you again on RUclips. I don't remember your being a mess, but a delightful presence. Welcome aboard on this cyber format!
Thank you - I had an old painting with cast shadows that bugged me. I pulled it back out after watching this video - I am going to Re do the road. Thank you again
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction I really did --- I played with some different colors for the foreground shadows and those in the distance too. I feel I can now make some more informed color choices!
Dianne. This was an enormously helpful QuickTip. I’m a guilty party of adding black to darken and neutralize. Not any more! Also the three separate examples were so helpful and particularly the last one. Neutral colors are so hard. I’m going to watch it again...and take notes this time. Thank you!
Diane, THIS video made a lightbulb go off for me! After years of painting and struggling with cast shadows, you’ve taught me how to “observe “ them and relay that observation to the canvas. Thank you for your knowledge and excellent way of teaching! ❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your elaborate videos, great tips and making people’s lives better and more meaningful. I am able to paint more thanks to your tips! All the best!
Barb, to my mind the color wheel is a necessity for the painter. You might benefit from watching other Quick Tips where I show how to use it to think through the mixing of color. You can find the entire list of Quick Tips at ruclips.net/user/inthestudioartinstructionvideos
This is the BEST demonstration of Cast Shadows I've seen. Now I finally get it! THANK YOU for this invaluable info! I feel like I can practice them now. 🤗
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. I love your teaching style! I'm happy to subscribe and I'm looking forward to watching all your tips! Thank you for this wonderful resource🥰
It makes me happy to see the color on the tip of the palette knife matches the color of the picture after mixing. By far the best painting tutorial in youtube. Regards and respect for Dianne. I like your accent🙂
Once again, perfect timing. I'm about to paint an abstract in moonlight, backlit trees and grass with shadows in the forefront. Your demo has simplified this for me. Now we just have to see if I can apply the principle to a lot of cool neutrals. Thank you so much. I'm a watercolorist and stepping out of my comfort zone to spark some creativity. It's a no fear painting session, taught by a local oil artist. In acrylic no less! But it will be a good learning experience. And I always come home to do it in watercolor. I love your videos. 🎨
Thank you painting grandma - this is exceptional, I never knew this formula for painting cast shadows - match the hue, make it darker and cooler, move towards neutral - thanks!
It will be better not to think of this as a formula, but a concept to look for. The concept works because of the way hue responds to light and the absence of light.
Am just starting acrylics and You are God sent teacher 🙏🏼. You take time to explain so well and with not just one example shows how selfless you are. Thank you. And thank you for everything you do for ppl like us. Lots of love.

You are the best color teacher I"ve ever seen!...thank you so much for your in-depth descriptions, they are so helpful to me concerning my paintings!
You are so welcome!
Thank you . I always learn something every time I watch your videos.
My pleasure.
one of the best lessons I've seen on cast shadows. Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.
Perfect explanation of shadows and how to paint them.
Skin tones on faces would be good to include.
Skin tones on faces change in hue as well. We can use the principles of observation to find these colors.
I love your quick tip. Sometimes you can't get it dark enough particularly in coloured pencils.
Enjoy the journey, Sophia.
Excellent instruction. A light bulb just went off in my head watching this 😀
Have fun with it.
You’re fantastic! I sure would have loved to sit in your classes.
Maybe one day! Who knows...
One of the most informative and effective videos on the subject on youtube ! Thank you!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

Great! One thing I appreciate about these Tips being on RUclips is that you can watch them as many times as you like.
Thank you very much ma'am, the colour wheel can be so helpful most of the time, we don't realise it !
My pleasure
