@@persiaart6907 Yeah, Marco's series on color on his YT channel taught me far more than 3 semesters (and thousands of dollars) of painting at university.

[@yourt00bz]

It’s expensive day care. Also since Ww2, we learned bitter lessons about what can happen by excluding folk from art school so we said “never again”. since then, our instructors are all garbage and we have no artists except the unknown .

[@TheVamxie]

Thank God I never wasted time and money at school cause man that sucks

[@harrysanders818]

Bucci is one of the highest quality art teachers on the net. The way he masterfully compresses huge amount of complex knowledge to its most basic essence is breathtaking.

FACTS

[@lochu91]

Best color theory video i have seen. Marco Bucci is a phenomenal teacher!

[@drelouder]

never thought of the light is pulling the local color toward the light color, literally blow my mind

[@hylianspots8681]

"I don't have to literally make the colors blue, as long as they're going that way on their journey through the color wheel, i can pick a wide variety of cooler colors here" something about color theory never really clicked until I heard it phrased like that- his whole egg study segment felt like actual understanding! where as so many color theory youtube videos simply exposit the same definitions about value and color and all that without actually giving practical advice about how to use it in practice- this was a very comprehensive start to understanding!

[@Allan1291]

The best color wheel in any software should come with Marco's tooltips

[@persiaart6907]

Yesterday I spent hours looking for a video covering this specific topic. Don’t stop spying me Proko, please keep on doing it :)

[@artofava]

This video was SO incredibly informative-- I have it saved so I already plan on returning to it often. But I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by all the information )'': I know mastering this stuff takes time and practice, but I just completed a piece for my art account and now I'm looking at it like "oh god, I think the colors are way off considering my light source" LOL! But hey, I'll keep practicing! Thank you so much to Marco Bucci for this!

[@Pixxeria]

That "warm color/cool shadow" explanation.. amazing!

[@Lissbirds]

I finally understand "warm light, cool shadows." Thank you, Marco!!

[@tomasaguilar8659]

Bravo, Marco. Best teacher online!

[@mrsplosh999]

It took me ages to learn this haha. I learned it via Sam Nielsons course and just tonnes of sphere tests. A nice analogy for anyone who might not get it is to think of the colours as magnets. The more saturated the light or object, the more it will 'pull' towards (creating the resulting colour). So a bright red won't be affect so much by a grey (warm) light source and it will retain its local colour. Then you just adjust the brightness based on the light source strength. Hope this helps :)

[@alishajones1001]

The way Marco explains light and color is so amazing, it never really clicked with me until I started watching Marco's channel!

[@humandog3240]

What's this topic called?

[@clarity_art]

I just finished watching Marco's two videos on ambient occlusion. Then THIS video pops up when I take a break from working on a new art piece, one that's been a total struggle to paint in terms of color and light. Proko's video topics are really next level.

[@AlphaGeminorum1]

Same order as you. This stuff is MINDBLOWINGLY important.

I love Marco's content. He is always sharing useful information that allows you to see things in a new way. I think watching his videos has made me break a few plateaus already, especially when it comes to coloring.

[@syzygy4365]

Omw!! Color theory finally makes sense to me! This was the best video, and it ties everything up so well. I can't wait to try some of this out. Especially more natural lighting effects. I won't share too much more from here. This has been a year worth of self studying for me. I'll let others do there own research. Thank you soooo much!!! 🥰
