    Hey all! I imagine some of you may be wondering what colors I've got on my palette.
    I ... actually don't know. They change so often and I don't keep track. I do know that I couldn't live without:
    Ultramarine Blue
    Cobalt Blue
    Pthalo Blue
    Burnt Sienna
    Raw Umber
    Vermillion
    Cad Yellow Light
    The brands I use range. Holbein, Winsor/Newton, Daniel Smith, Daler-Rowney.

      Hey, Marco. I always love videos where you focus on brush techniques, as you did often in this one. I keep going back to your video Digital Brushwork Techniques from your store, and one of these days, I'll learn to loosen up.
      By the way, I don't know if you noticed, but your Intern sneaked his own portrait into your profile picture. I'm sure he did it when you were not looking.

      actually, if you’re wearing dark blue/black clothing and using watercolor , its pretty easy to get away with

      don’t know if it’d work with gouache though, considering its more opaque

    This is timely advice as I'm living abroad for a few months and im determined to document it by Watercoloring. Your watercolor videos are truely inspiring and I hope you make a more beginners guide to watercolor. I really like your speed and relaxed approach to painting, its actually the reason I started painting myself as I found water color to be rather slow and scary until I saw your work. However I realized that your speed and casual approach is probably the result of years of practice and slower paintings. When I started, I tried to emulated your speed and it often looked awkward and messy. After watching some of the slower methodical approaches from other youtubers, I was able to combine your eye and energy with the fundamentals. I hope one day you'll make a more foundational course with watercolor especially wth how you use gouache. Once again, Thank you for your passion and energy!
    If any inspiring Marco Followers are reading this, don't get discouraged! I highly Recommend Mind of the Watercolor to help get your fundamentals in.

(Being a digital artist & animator n such). I love having a bit of insight into how you pick your compositions as well. ^^

      @marcobucci  Před 4 lety +7

      Thanks! I don't instill any time constraints ... though when I spend longer than 20 mins on one of these sketches it's a good indicator that I'm overworking it, or not capturing it. The actual pencil-sketch part takes less than a minute. It's so loose that I wouldn't even call it a drawing - just a placeholder thingy I can vaguely understand. That's only because I like to figure out almost all the important stuff in the painting phase!
