I’m a hobbyist and don’t have as much time to spend developing my technique, but I always feel like your videos give me a “shortcut” for a lack of a better term, or at least give me great direction. I’m definitely going to try and study this.

Thank you Marco; of all the color research I’ve sought; your understanding and explanations have always made the most sense to me over the past few years. Appreciate your time to make this video; like all the rest you’ve done.

This was the first Marco B. video I've seen that confused the crap outta me. I need to watch this one like 9 more times.

100/10 recommend his Color Survival Guide class. Totally worth every penny. Haven't met anyone to date that has a better breakdown of color and values.

Great video! The way I see it, the configuration that mimics a rotated sky 4:44 might be due to the shape of the cliffs: The most reflected light they receive might not just be from the ground, but also from the directly sunlit cliff to its left. The further the the shadowy cliff extends towards the viewer, the more of its neighbouring cliffs light it catches. But the cast shadow on the sunlit cliff does not receive that much indirect light from its neighbour, wich is in shadow after all and hence the sideway transition, which of course is overlayed with the typical vertical transition for the usual purposes, and thus resulting in a diagonal pattern, or "rotated sky".

Hey everyone - I see all the comments about my tardiness with the collab. TLDR: It will be up by *Friday, March 10!* EDIT: It's up! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abeeasmivNOtlnU.html [End edit. Original post below.] I'm sorry it's taken me so long; this was not my intention when I accepted the painting. I've been on parental leave (as you may know from Aaron's video), and while I did begin making the video while taking care of my infant son (initially aiming for a February release), I found that my production quality was dropping, due to the many obligations of parenthood, and I do not want to turn in a sub-par contribution! (I hadn't yet painted the physical piece; I stopped before I got to that point.) I am officially back to work at the end of February, at which point I promise to put *all* of my time into getting this done. As stated above, my personal deadline is *Friday, March 10.* I know there's some who've already lost faith in me, and others who are wary, but I promise everyone it will be the same quality production I always strive for on my channel. See you on March 10th!

Watching this video, trying to patiently wait for the KZfaq collaboration post.

Can you post your part of the collar soon?? It's been a while

Did anyone tell you that your painting style is so impressionist? The way you are building the colors and the way you put them together are so unique.

Excellent video as always! Marco's color survival guide course (that he mentions at the end of the video) is completely worth the cost.

i really admire your colors in your art pieces and you're also eloquent enough to properly explain things

you are precious, we need more of this, more uploads, thanks for everything so far.

Happy to see you back, Marco. All of this does make me wonder if Edgar Payne used a colour wheel to work those colour transitions out. It's quite phenomenal really. And thank you for sacrificing yourself and taking the payne out of our paintings somewhat! 😊 Thanks for making another great video. Hope all's well with you et al.

This is amazingly helpful, even more when considering the short length of this video. You rock!

Playing jazz with the colors is a brilliant way to show transferable abstract concepts of different art forms!

Marco, you're the absolute greatest on youtube lessons in the whole planet. I wouldn't have gotten this far without the knowledge you share with us, thank you!

Wonderful. No one explains light the way you can. I have recommended your video on ambient occlusion to so many people and now I will do the same with this one.

Thank you Marco! Again you bring easy to learn videos. Colors have been a challenging part for me, and you can explain those in tangible ways

I don't paint myself and haven't drawned anything in a good while but this was inspiring. I always found colors, shading and highlights hardest to get a grip on and this helped me understand it a heck lot more :D

It's crazy how much info you get from just one painting explanation Thank you Marco

This video is precious and informative! Thank you Marco ❤️👍 always excited to see your video

Thank you so much marco your videos help me a lot with color theory it was hard to understand at first but i kept rewatching the videos and the pieces slowly connect together i think with your channel i can learn so much

You litterally made art possible to learn for me! I will buy your courses just for gratitude a feel for your support to the community(and also for all my unanswered questions :D). Unfortunately, I am unemployed now, but when i get a job and get some living i will remember that I have to support you back. :) You definitely made dreams come true for a lot of people that were struggling with their art level and didnt know where to search for info. I wish you best luck and health, you are amazing, thank you for your hard work. :)

you are such a master of color ! you've helped me understand so much about color threw out the years thank you !

Thanks Marco, I must say, every time I’ve watched any of your videos I get so inspired to paint and draw, you make me wanna pursuit an art carrier

Fantastic lesson! Thank you Marco!

It was an enlightenment to see and understand this video. Thanks!

Amazing Amazing AMAZING TUTORIAL! Thank you for sharing this! And I learned about a new artist I'm now going to study!

Loved it! Checking out the course bc it all gives me a headache right now but I'll never stop painting ❤ thx!

This is the best description for using colour I have seen.

Terrific! Awesome tutorial

This didn’t solve my color blindness, I want my 11 minutes back. 😢

Your videos are absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for posting them. What a privilege to have access to quality instruction. I'm very grateful to be alive in this generation.

Marco, master of colours! If I wouldn't have studied all the great tutorials you so generously share with us, I would've understood very little. Now I feel like having reached a new level of understanding. So, it's only the tiny bit of applying it to my own work though that gets me. 🤪

Amazing, your lessons are so good man!! thank you for the video

"Putting the pain in painting. Note to self edit that line out." 🤣

Thanks Marco. This makes lots of sense. Now, I need to put it into practice!

Thank you for the explanation in colour theory.

Yes, I have your course "Color Surviving Kit" and I learned a lot. Thank You!

Holy crap!thank you so much for this video!!

I am not an artist... haven't painted anything in the last 10 years and i still thought that this was satisfying to watch.

excited to watch this one!

i learned more from this video in the first 5 minutes than i have of a whole 5 years in art school. ive since graduated and moved into a wholly different field but i want to express my thanks, this is fantastic and lowkey rekindling my interest back into art... thank you.

Man, Marco, you're one of the greatest teachers I've come across. The way you explain things is so digestible and really touches on the process in a way that just doesn't seem to be covered. I've been looking more into color studies, and this is definitely sitting in my back back to learn and review again.

Your course is what I’m studying next year, hopefully on black&white commission money. Thank you very much, and I look forward to learning more.

Always a great job man. Thanks

I highly recommend Marcos color guide. He’s an amazing teacher!

Nice, I was waiting for this

Wonderful video thank you so much.

man i love your videos

Thank You Marco

Your tutorials are so good! I think I will get one or two of your workshop video next month: The Color Survival Guide, first; and then maybe Understanding and Painting the Head. I'm more a photograph but the information you give is help me so much for editing and color grading. Thanks to you.

This was amazing. I always lessen something when you talk about colour. (Or about anything else for that matter.)

I have seen the light!....and shadow lol! This is so eye opening and easy to understand. Now time to execute!

This is amazing! I am going to be buying this course in a month from now/

Thanks Marco

Love those! Thanks

Wow this was extremely informative❤

no one does it like you, nice one marco

i just painted a portrait of robert pattinson's the batman with this lecture and i gotta say i think it helped alot who woudl've thought greys could communicate so much while being so invisible to the naked eye!

Thank you!

Im exited to see you do the collab project!

This is indeed a great study, thank you Sir Marco!

Very helpful video!, Thank you :)

This was awesome

Thank you ✨🙏🏽

9:22 lol, that got me good

Fascinating

It was help full

thank you

This is very informative.

You rock!

Thank you, Marco, for putting Payne back into painting.

Ua literally the bestes teacher out there

Sargeant: “Don’t overstate your midtones!”

It was a great video, and the art course brilliantly improved my poor colour choices.

thank you bro thank you

One of my biggest art flexes is I have Marco Bucci as my teacher.

you are the best!

Good evening, Marco! Your videos about digital painting are incredible and it would be great, if more artists could watch them! So, I would like to translate them into Russian for people, who don't know English. Could I do that? The link to the original videos will be in the description for sure

After watchibg this video, i now understand that colours were much much more complicated than i thought they were.

thenks marcoo boocheee

u make the best art tutorial on the entire youtube imo btw ❤and that is a fact just want to let u know lol

How’s work on the art collab going ? Hope I have the correct artist for the next instalment ? 😊🥰🎨

I think Marco's version had way more saturation in the shadows for non blue colors. shadow means less information including color information.

Interesting - can you ellaborate a bit more on why the light have saturated the rock - and when are the cases in which light will saturate instead of desaturate?

Neat. So roughly speaking, base color plus light color at like polar vectors

You were born to teach man gj

@4:30 There is probably a very big patch of mountain face (off canvas) getting a lot of sun on the left of this scene , and this is the light source that's creating the horizontal glow that that protrusion of rock is catching.

5:30 now that is the magic! 💯💥🤟

I feel so smart watching this like wut... The explanation is top notch 👏

I love your videos Marco 💕

Sowhen a saturated light hits a local color it makes more saturated and warmer, the light will eventually fall off going from warmwarmer to cooler colors. The shadows are the parts when the objests arent hit with light but they still visible bcuz some secondary light sources bounce weaker rays on it, weaker, cooler and not as bright as the main light source. The mixture of ambient light in the shadows is a transition of the colors towards gray. At least thats why i got from this video.
