Travel Sketching - Capturing the Feel of a Place

[@marcobucci]

Hi everyone - a full breakdown of my materials and setup is in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opW9c6SvrKanbpY

[@marcobucci]

Thanks, I will probably do something like that in the future. For now, this video discusses some essential compositional elements and ideas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5fOn4ahrrNplZI

[@matthewgonzalez5993]

Hey, Marco, could you explain what watercolors​ do u use

[@sellysartwork]

Marco Bucci i tried it! Have Send you a dm on insta! Big thanks to you!!

[@marcobucci]

Winsor & Newton, mostly. A few other brands in there. My advice is to buy professional-grade stuff, not student-grade.

[@callmedeno]

You don’t seem to wait for each area to dry, how do you not get nasty cauliflowers? Or is it just the editing

[@DAngeloWallace]

5:06 that motion tracking is so neat

[@marcobucci]

Thanks - tons of fun to experiment with it!

[@karolzamojcin1886]

same feelings here, I was like "woooaahh!, that's nice" :)

[@SamReevesWrites]

That is the first thing I was going to mention too. Really cool.

[@kayaeki]

D'Angelo Wallace hey man! Ikr

[@extremesubtlety]

Holy shit it’s Wallace-senpai

Working small doesn't force you to create a masterpiece. Proceeds to create a masterpiece.

[@rosetone974]

Oh wow. This video inspired me to go outside and paint. This is a big challenge for a lazy introvert such as myself 😂 Thank you so much!

[@marcobucci]

Great to hear - thanks, Rose!

[@yancowles]

My folks bought me a little backpack with an integrated stool for my plein air shenanigans which is brilliant although it looks like I also need a cool hat.

[@GingerUmali]

your strokes look so random yet cohesive and attractive ... I want to learn to paint this way and not be too bogged down by form and details. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jka2525]

I’m glad I watched this. I feel like I am to strict with my painting and just don’t go with a flow. I need to relax more and enjoy.

[@justinpunio9723]

your teaching techniques are really innovative! I loved the big/small shapes segment!

[@marcobucci]

I'm happy about that, as I had to develop some new skills to pull that off visually :) Thanks!

[@MasterCryo]

Marco, i feel obligated to say that your content is definitly one of the best art material of the internet. So didatic, well done and polished. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@marcobucci]

Thanks a lot!

[@twopintsofmilk]

I'm not sure if you're sick of hearing this yet, but this is the best art channel on KZbin

[@paulinapayment9760]

My favorite part of watercolors is how it brings out your artistic instinct. I do digital art but I'm awful at it, I think it's because I have a million chances to get it right, unlike watercolor; the way watercolor is unforgiving really forces out my best qualities and instincts. I've been nervous to do plein airs, but you're convincing me how important it is for shape language/expressive painting and to not afraid, thank you for this video! (:

[@embracethemystery]

Marco, you are so wonderfully articulate and concise in your instruction. Such a great teacher! Really appreciate your entire artistic process, including the video production special effects! Very inspirational!

[@calebrobertson5041]

Most impressive part is how reckless the first wash of color looks, until you carve out the details and it begins to look thouroughly planned out

[@marcobucci]

Thanks! That's another reason I really like watercolour: you have to kind of anticipate the next steps. Set things up at the start for later payoff. Keeps you on your toes.

[@calebrobertson5041]

Marco Bucci bit late coming back to this, but would you reccomend watercolor to beginig painters? I have a watercolor set already, but im tempted to get a travel gouache set instead so I dont have to work around watercolors properties while im rrying to make quick paintings.

[@marcobucci]

Yeah, I think if you're just starting out, watercolor probably isn't the best medium to be using. Its high demands might distract you from the practice of solid fundamentals, which is where you want to focus if you're a beginning painter. Gouache is generally a better medium for control, and a good choice for beginners. That being said, I don't think you should outright avoid using watercolor either. Give it a shot every now and then, and get used to how different mediums react. Also, the nice thing about gouache is that you can try transparent approaches with it (like watercolor) or more opaque approaches (like acrylic & oil). Good luck!

[@calebrobertson5041]

Marco Bucci thanks for the quick response. Ive probably got enough room to just get a small set of gouache and bring it with my watercolor set to give myself the option to do a bit of both. In that case, do you know if I would need to match the brands, as in windsor and newton watercolor to windsor and newton gouache? I only started painting earlier this year, but I was suprised to find I enjoy it more than drawing, so itll be nice to have a good portable setup to get some practice in on the go.

[@zhouli7157]

Some may say this is a great art lesson, however it is more than that, you just bring an excellent English lesson to me. Great video, thanks :)

[@HimeshAnand]

You're editing is getting professional every time! :D . And thanks for another awesome video

[@sctt5071]

Greats words Marco. "And remember painting is a language. It's a visual language. Just like verbal language it needs structure to communicate." During my travels and daily life I like to keep words that have meaning to me and these I will hold close.

[@andreamar6044]

Your art skills are amazing and your humor keeps me hooked! You explain everything so clearly. Thanks for making these videos.

[@dfinchermd]

A very articulate and instructional narrative and beautiful work. I really appreciate the freedom you express and like the fact you paint by color temperature rather than tube labels.

[@ramyahegde]

Seeing your watercolour sketches had inspired me to be more brave and learn watercolour despite my timidity with traditional media. This video was a well-needed booster for it. Thank you!!!

[@marcobucci]

Great!

[@gracielapalomino3384]

Marco Bucci ñññññññññññññññññññññññññ

[@MillywiggZ]

“I found a little corner where no one can sneak behind me” Marco plays Engineer in TF2, confirmed.

[@anakmurillo]

I've seen all your 10 minutes to better painting videos, and those have made me realize a lot of things and improve a LOTTT since that. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and taking your time to make interesting videos with dynamics to help us undestand better how art is done. Also I really like your art :) greetings from mexico!

[@sentry9834]

Masterful editing with that digital breakdown. Bravo.

[@Adriana-eo9dx]

Of all the water color instructors I follow you teach me the most in the shortest amount of time. I always look forward to ur videos man. Keep this up please

[@shubhankarsuri8653]

thanx sir ur better than my college teachers what they couldn't teach me in two years ur tutorials thought me in two week. keep making videos and keep teaching students like us who crave to learn.

[@mageKnightz]

Love the FX treat in the notebook you're holding while explaining about shapes! Great video as always.

[@Gantorin]

I plan to do this everyday of my two weeks in Japan. I will be doing pencil only, but these techniques will help me sketch quickly to capture a moment. Thank you for the insite.

[@raffikix]

I just love the way you explain & offer to the youtube world your artistic feelings & thoughts so... thanks a lot !

[@poisoned_durian8]

This is a really nice painting. It looks so realistic.

[@goodnoodle5224]

You holding up the sketchbook demonstrating the process was so cool and had some very informative tips. Very nice editing and video I always look forward to your videos.

[@barryteghtmeyer5466]

Thanks Marco! This studio watercolor artist is learning so much from your videos. You are helping me to utilize real life as a subject versus photos. I really enjoy your teaching style!

[@myrkflinn4331]

Omg I really want to see Egypt one day! That's where my interests lay the most!

[@nicolaskrinis7614]

Marco, you are me favorite watercolour artist. Love it.

[@jameswood4676]

I adore this series, it really helps bring me down and back to producing a looser and more representational visual language in my own work.

[@nunu7797]

The color is always so amazing in your paintings, and I don't say this as a cop out. Even with the painting being pretty much abstract the color captures the place really well.

[@BobbyChiu]

wow... first time watching your videos Marco. Just loved it... I wonder how long this took you?

[@marcobucci]

Hey Bobby - thanks man! I pieced this one together over two months, as it had a bunch of separate video shoots and disparate elements I needed to gather. BTW - I really enjoyed Craig Mullins' Schoolism lectures. Thanks for giving him the platform to teach!

[@nomadiccoyote]

I sense a great interview in the making! :)

[@StormEngineer]

I would love to see a course or two by Marco on Schoolism! Check his "10 minutes to better painting" series and you will see how good a teacher he is. *hint hint*

[@TheLazyMangaka]

loving this kind of content! great job sir!

[@karastella3384]

I am getting so much out of your classes. I'd love to see your painting and the reference image/video side by side while you work!

[@candych1837]

I was literally in Marrakech last spring, but I didn't know how to just draw things like this, I am so gutted that I didn't find this video before I went, because there were so many beautiful places in Morocco

[@imagixea]

This was an amazing video to watch, I’ve learned alot in 13 minutes

[@heliotropicsquirrel550]

Your presentation on this is brilliant!

[@elizabethstrouth4958]

Thanks for posting this. I'm trying to get out more and plein air and I might try this smaller setup with sketch book and watercolor tray.

[@justjoanne7796]

I love these sketching videos with watercolour so much. Your work is awesome and I really appreciate how well you break it all down and explain it. Thank you so much and please keep them coming!

[@xiquai]

Thank you so much for making this. I have learned sooo much! Especially how simple a painting starts and how to make it more complete. I will practice!

[@etnataeterna2424]

I am deeply in love with your whole style. I saw a thumbnail and had to click on it... I'm just amazed.

[@sleepycat4k]

You are my fav artist on KZbin.

[@kanvasp]

Thank you once again... I can't tell you how much i enjoy learning through your videos.

[@PedroVencore]

its amazing how much love you put in making these videos

[@lihanxueguo9262]

very constructive teaching, thank you so much for the effort that you put on those videos

[@Keithlynd_]

I plan to learn about painting and watercolor in near future your videos really inspire me to do painting like that.

[@rowk_art]

Your arts have so strong air-feeling! I love the way you play with paint density and color warmness. This is trully inspiring! I want to try capture this filling in my sketches

[@beepbop2240]

Love your paintings.

[@pramodbhan8289]

You are so good...i have got a treasure today...thank you for the good work

[@callmebee2560]

I’ve been needing this channel. So badly. I’m so glad you’re videos are the way they are. Your word use and conceptual explanations is soooo perfect

[@sunnybran2005]

Its amazimg to watch you doing the painting in real life. Its so helpful of your very details explaination. I amazed by the colours you mix and how the 3 size shapes makeup the painting nicely. Your words are very encourage as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@truecuckoo]

Ace! Thanks for the inspiration mate!

[@globalscaleimpact]

I love watching you paint! I tend to keep a very clean palette, so looking at yours, where colors are blended with others, makes me wonder how you get some striking colors in your painting when I'd think that it was too muddied up on the palette to lay on the paper as cleanly as it appears there. Pretty impressive.

[@barbararivera2380]

Hi Marco, I am brand new to painting. At fist I was like, Why not just take a pic of the scene? But now I get it. Thank you. In a few years my husband and I are going to be traveling the US in an RV and I hope to be able to paint like this. I like how you've made it so portable as I won't be able to carry many supplies.

[@helsiclife]

Thanks for sharing all these advices, I truly admire your work!

[@evanburnett6368]

Yo the layout of this video is so fucking good and the part where you broke down the painting with the photoshop below was fantastic. More videos like this pleeeeeaaassseee

[@DJRod91]

Hi! So, I am only 0:35 into the video and I had to compliment your production quality. The intro was so good and the Marrakech transition sequence killed it! I am going to watch the rest now. Thanks!

[@Toto69584]

Wonderful result!

[@TheDannycoyne]

You are a quality teacher! such a great amount of important tips all the way through. Love you channel

[@basbouman2729]

[@KatimeStudios]

I love these outdoor sketchbook painting videos!

[@thegurch7313]

WOWEee!!! A fantastic show as always, you never fail to amaze. I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching your videos. The outstanding production quality of your movies magnifies the entertainment value. I really do appreciate the behind the scenes effort that you must put into pulling these masterful videos together. Bravo,​ bravo!

[@hayleylawson555]

Thank YOU thank you THANK you!! This video was so informative, and made me feel more free to engage my painting without worrying too much about imperfections.

Thanks for sharing this. When I travel my husband stay by my side and ask, are you going to draw? Do this, do that, is that the right color, etc. He wants to participate so much that now I just take pictures. And he so happy that I can walk hugging him...

[@mirandarv17]

This video was so nice and the part where you are holding the sketchbook it soon neat

[@RustyOrange71]

Excellent video. I really get this: big, medium, small shapes. This is a breakthrough for me. Thanks

[@WhimsyForrest_Art]

Beautiful

[@seethelines]

Incredible video and narration. Both entertaining and educating. Gave me a Bourdain feel in some parts of the narration. Thanks a lot for the insights and the push for me to create my videos too.

[@djkismo6466]

[@AntaresValdemar]

Superb. Love that note-taking analogy!

[@darkfearie69]

Great videos! I've been learning watercolor after doing mainly black and white pencil or charcoal drawings, and it's nice to see how you paint so loosely... and your setup is so simple and portable I love it

[@katsmith8263]

You need to put more videos like that on KZbin or you're not visible here 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@unchilgisam]

Love your videos as always! Your channel is such an underrated gem. To say I'm learning a lot from you more than anywhere else is an understatement.
