You have the most mind brightening tutorials on the internet

[@marcobucci]

thanks a lot!

Indeed, he helps me understand principles alot better .

[@MightGuy15]

Indeed my mind has been quite brightened

[@TheDesertHamster]

I don't normally comment on videos, but I absolutely had to state that your videos are amongst the most structured, comprehensible and well presented art videos I've seen on the internet. I've seen paid art videos which you easily put to shame. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@marcobucci]

TheDesertHamster thanks very much!

[@cheerp7313]

TheDesertHamster i agree absolutely. And how thankful I am having discovered this.

[@ronisegers]

Indeed I agree. so much clear information in 10 minutes. Thanks for your great work.

What's just happening right now happens very rarely for me. I'm pausing the video halfway in to simply say thank you for this content and this extremely well put together, informative and funny video.

[@CiprianHanga]

Oh, my, this is gold. Such important concepts and yet we barely hear anyone mention them. They would usually say "yeah, composition is important, study composition, push your composition, play with the focal point" yet there are no clear explanations on what you should actually do and think about. Thank you so much for these, Marco, I can't wait to see more on this topic.

[@QuesoGr7]

Yeah, this could've been useful for me a while back lol In fact, it's still is useful to me even though I finally learned about good composition fairly recently.

[@X3MiniDoraemon]

I agree! This makes it much more easier and clearer!!

[@josephcowan6779]

This video is a good example of communicating a clear message. My takeaway: must use fibbonaci spiral when painting cats.

[@LesiureBoy]

Marco, I'm gonna be honest man. I've seen many, many art teachings on KZbin. You've got to be one of the top 3 best teachers I've seen thus far. You have an amazing way of teaching complex art to its simplest form, especially to a novice such as myself. It comes really natural to you and you seem to really enjoy it. Even though it still requires many, many hours to practice in theory you make it not so intimidating to a novice such as myself, but rather, a reason to explore, be free and most of all, have fun! Thank you:)

[@marcobucci]

Thanks a lot! All the best.

[@victorsales3850]

It's wonderful how you can, in just 10 minutes deliver so much cohesive, fun, useful and important concepts of visual language, that expensive painting courses don't even mention. Thankyou, Marco, You are AMAZING!

[@marcobucci]

Thanks Victor, that's my goal, and more of the same coming up in Episode 3 next week.

[@svantenordenson6038]

You got to be the best art teacher ever!

[@marcobucci]

Really nice of you! I have to admit though, I am not this coherent without editing :)

[@svantenordenson6038]

I have just begun tryning to learn how to draw, and I learn a lot from you. So thank you!

[@Vagabond1031]

I've read and seen countless books, blogs, videos on composition. You've hit the points that I wish someone would address. You have explained design elements WAAAAY better than most "composition" books or videos. What's more is your storytelling technique in doing so puts your videos a few notches above theirs! Great job and thank you!

[@marcobucci]

Hey guys - Episode 3 will be out in roughly a month from now!

[@ndqq]

Dear Sir, once again I would like to make English closed caption and Vietnamese subtitle for your video. Could you kindly allow that? I love your series!

[@marcobucci]

Hi Quang, nice to hear from you again! Yes, I'd love if you did that for this video as well. I've enabled the option. Thank you very much for your time!

[@halo0totoro]

i love your voice

[@marcobucci]

thuy bien nguyen haha, thanks!

[@swafsal]

Hi . i think your workflow for painting is using only one layer ,if yes - how does it affect your workflow because i saw many variations of the same paintings on your website ?

[@floweydesigns8857]

You are a legendary teacher, I'll remember you for rest of my life

[@deleeleh]

"DONT FUCKING CHEAT ME" is the funniest thing i've ever heard in an art tutorial. and frankly a really effective way to make sure i never forget it!

[@Drakey97]

and i never thought this kind man would say it XDDD

[@Amna-cr9pn]

Love the content and humour of these bite sized videos. Brilliant!

[@slanguagefreak2388]

The reason why this series gives me so much confidence is because at some level we have been doing these things and we recognize them when we see them done well (by we, I mean, artists). This is just bringing those things to light. This does not require us to do something drastic or completely change the way we do things and yet it does. I mean, we don't have to readjust our techniques or anything, we have to readjust how we think about things and that makes a drastic improvement. Also, this can be applied to any medium of painting, any genre with equal ease and effectiveness. This is awesome.

[@rgsw1606]

Damn, whoever put effort to subtitled this video to Vietnamese, thank you very very much

[@molle4000]

Wow, those new videos are killer. Entertaining, informative and subjects that aren't covered a lot, even though I feel like I've watched nearly every art video on youtube :D Thank you and keep it up!

[@marcobucci]

Thanks - yeah, that's the hardest part for me with these videos. Coming up with a lesson that doesn't feel repetitive.

[@harmonysteel141]

Thank you. In 20 years of painting this is one of the best lessons on painting I’ve ever seen. I’m watching it again 😁👍❤️

[@SeculiarSamii]

Your tutorials are very well made and still hold up really well years later. You make everything less intimidating and more fun to do, making me more interested/motivated to try out these new concepts! Thank you for the quality content we artists don't see much here on youtube

[@andresct6250]

What is this? Memorable art lessons and comedy? Who would have thought that this would work?! Man, thank you for these videos!!

[@ShaunMcMillan]

These lessons are so much 1000xs better than most of the video tutorials out there, so why oh why aren't they more popular. KZbin artists just do not know how to appreciate a good lesson.

[@lettuce6321]

And this is why there are many good young artists. They have more sources like these in the Internet to help them. Unlike people who grew up without internet.

[@s977382]

I am 2 videos into this series and I am very excited for how much quality content awaits me. Thank you for making these videos, Marco.

[@thomasfurlano9106]

so Signor Marco Bucci, how is it that you can keep our attention??!! You got the focus that keeps us wanting more of the 'right stuff'.

[@hi.241]

ive only been here for two videos but im already fallen in love with the amount of information, thank you for putting out all these lessons :)

[@mylesjeffers6148]

My god this dude is unbeliveable. As good a teacher/communicator as he is an artist. This whole youtube channel is art in itself

[@schommii9176]

One of the best series for painters on KZbin. Looking forward to more, keep up the great work!

[@melisguherferah]

I find your videos very educating for young artists like me. Your 10 minutes to better painting videos are doing a good job at simplifying needs of art and I appreciate your hard work for making these.

[@MrElliotholman]

This is fantastic, enlightening and overwhelming. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I will have to watch it MANY times to really absorb your lesson!

[@ld905]

These videos are 10 minutes each, but they teach me so much. Thanks!!!

[@Eppeh]

This has been so useful, thank you for posting the tutorials. I realised recently that the work that fails for me is always things I over complicate and don't compose before hand, I think the idea will come to me fully as I go along when in fact it's so much more important to spend time preparing, and not wasting time banging your head on the desk because it hasn't worked. Very well explained and great advise for digital and traditional artists alike!

[@jes4408]

[@blaaaaaaaaahify]

Brilliant. Grateful for finding so much quality content on-line for free! Just so easy to understand!

[@slanguagefreak2388]

When you feel so good because you have been using these things without realizing it. I have been using c-curves, the contrast between activity and hue shifts in paintings without realising I was doing that. And I noticed the paintings I used them in looked better than others and I kept doing more and more of that. Recently, texture has been a favourite of mine, too, even though I did not realize that is what was making the difference. Why this 10-minute info could not have been communicated to me in years of art classes, I fail to understand. There are so many videos (or series of videos) that claim to actually help you improve your painting by some miraculous trick. However, till date, this is the only one that has delivered on it. Also, not only will it help me improve my painting, it has given me confidence to try new things to paint. I mostly paint nature - landscapes, seascapes, cloudscapes, animals, birds, flowers, insects, underwater etc. At most I will paint some still life (that too, if it captures my fancy) or objects like boats etc surrounded by nature. I have been terrified of urban paintings and paintings with too many people. This series has given me confidence that I can at least try to approach them without losing my mind. And that is saying a lot because I am a stubborn brat.

[@amnonkotler]

I watched all 3 tutorials and they are a gem!!! I learnd so much from them. Thanks!!!!

[@deborahtishman586]

[@brandy1999]

This got to be the most hilarious and helpful art video I've ever seen. The production quality of this alone is amazing, AND it's really good info. Dude, more pls.

[@triban128]

Sir, I have to say that you have got some of the best knowledge and advice regarding art. The way you present those information in the simplest way is really great. Lots of art tutorials have technical as well as aesthetic info behind them to get better in art but that is simply not enough when it comes to execution as it always feels something to be missing. The subtle references you have put forward have really made me understand paintings better.

[@Gheeron2]

Magistral way to convey your short lesson message. Thanks for your insights and the rest of your videos too Marco.

[@TeamTNTunicorn]

The value here is hard for me to comprehend. To share this kind of insights and knowledge but still keep it entertaining and professional, which ends up improving the learning? I am used to having to drill information into my brain. This is so much easier, and I get so much out of this. Thank you.

[@introspectionart8044]

[@Redeagle33Benni]

Amzing videoseries! As someone who studies mechanical engineering I ve had the impression that most art videos(tutorials) are like: "hm yea lets take a bit of that and change the hue of that and now it looks much better". Your videos on the other hand show a clear structure and reasoning why certain things are done and how they work and also why the human body reacts to them. Thank you!
