      That's a large amount of blues. is that typical for your palette or unique to this scene because of the water and sky? great video; i'd love to see more!

    • @marcobucci
      @marcobucci  6 лет назад +7

      I find different blues to be extremely useful for mixing grays, and having lots of blues is typical of all my various palettes. I didn't talk about grays in this video - but they're discussed a lot here: ruclips.net/video/gwLQ0cDb4cE/видео.html

    Hello Marco, love your works, watercolours are splendid, I do watercolours because of you. On my trip in Vietnam this year I painted nine watercolours and this whole series was inspired by you. I watched your videos before I left and you made to buy my first watercolour. And you still makes me think about my technique, I'm trying keep it simple because I always dig in to details . Thank you! Keep going!

  • @imcostalong
    @imcostalong 5 лет назад

    I don't think you can fathom the sheer number of Revelations I've had about a myriad of subjects from your focus example using a simple sentence. Mind-blowing stuff.

  • @noxanneballadynasowacka6125
    @noxanneballadynasowacka6125 Год назад

    Funny how the moment you added the masts in, I immediately thought, “I liked it better when it’s simple.” Then at the end of the video you came back to that exact point and iterated on it. We both came to the same conclusion.
    I love just how conscious and critical you are of your work process at every stage, and don’t mind relapsing in a meaningful way. I know I don’t paint like this at all; I always want my emotions and mood to inform my artistic judgement above all else. But that’s why your art appeals to me; it has a certain craftsman’s quality that make it feel so compelling and well researched. (That sentence probably didn’t make much sense but whatever!)

  • @michellegoggans3479

    Marco, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. I have been following your stuff since your first few posts and the quality and content of your videos just keeps on improving with every one. I struggle a lot with color and I find your insight super useful. I've picked up plein air water coloring and haven't had this much fun with art in a long time! Above all else, your passion and enthusiasm is what always has me coming back. Thank you.

    I have a constant battle with focus. Sometimes focus can be elusive and I get scared that I will miss the right marks and the painting will come out bad. This video does a great job in pointing out the problem solving behind it.

  • @bdesliga
    @bdesliga Год назад

    That focus thing kinda reminded me about how dreams could actually be like. When you're dreaming, u only remember the focus u had in the dream. Actually, I guess that's the same while conscious. We have this "attention filter" when we see things, and I think this is close of what we see and remember of things. It's like a visual representation of a memory. That's cool :)

    Something I've been trying a lot more on my channel with my plein air sketches is not only choosing a focus, but also doing a wash of one single color over everything that ISN'T the focal point. It's helped to further emphasize what it is that I'm trying to bring attention to. I also try to make the background looser, but your technique is even more loose and playful than what I do and I think I may try to evoke the same feel the next time I go out to do one of my Diner Doodles. The tonal contrast especially is something I really like in your examples-thank you for the inspiration and advice! =^.^=

    I really enjoyed your comparison of painting to writing and editing. As a writer, it made so much sense to me to go back and review a sketch without seeing as a failure. For those of us who don't do digital paintings, how would you suggest a similar process? Btw, I own every watercolor video you've done, even purchasing some twice.

    • @marcobucci
      @marcobucci  6 лет назад +4

      Maria Peagler Thanks Maria! If you don’t use digital paint, you can simply do that last step on scraps of watercolour paper. Or, even better (because watercolour sometimes isn’t very controllable in real tiny sketches) a few gray markers in a sketchbook. More specifically: get a light-gray-paper sketchbook, a couple of darker markers, and one white marker. You can work out any visual problem with that. Perhaps I’ll do a RUclips video on that process in the future :)
