Hello Marco, I just want to say that I love the way you put the strokes on the canvas. And even if one knows that is a digital canvas, you still convey a feeling of traditional oil painting, which I think is amazing! Would you tell me how you set up your brushes, because I wanted for so long to avoid the airbrush look of photoshop. Thanks! and keep posting videos.

@Matiasconceptart thanks! Yeah, it took me awhile to find that brush language that felt natural to me, and not overly digital. My brushes are pretty simple. I actually have a few online for download: marcobucci com / brushes zip (add dots and remove spaces)

i'm a little curious as to why you lay down those brushstrokes at 0:05 , you seem to do this in all of your videos. It's appears you like starting out with a little more caotic canvas rather than a white canvas when you´re about to apply the composition, lighting and etc..

I would very much like to know more about the reason behind this.

@papaknuthson Thanks for checking out the videos! The reason I approach it like this is because I am painting from imagination, and usually do not have a perfectly clear vision of what it is I'm about to paint. Usually I do have an idea of the type of light I want to capture, and that's what dictates that initial 'wash' that I put down on the canvas. It's just like a 'soup' of color that is fairly neutral, and can easily swing warmer or cooler, allowing me to start sculpting light right away.

@marcobucci Wow! thanks fot the quick answer, I downloaded your great set of brushes and painted a portrait to try them. And I must say that the brushes gave the portrait the look and feel I wanted! Thanks a lot Marco!

Marco, I really love yer videos. Just started painting myself, like.. super beginner, and while it's relatively difficult to get into, it is an amazing feeling when you stumble past a 'block' and do some things you didn't realize you could do.. it's an awesome hobby for me right now.. hopefully more than a hobby overtime. Thanks!!

@marcobucci Oh my goodness, well I'm already more than appreciative of you replying so quickly. I'm glad you're back for one. For two I can't think of much that you haven't covered, but in one of the videos you deleted (I believe it was a quick sketch or something) you covered some neat lighting methods. The landscapes are brilliant. I've seen some dark concept environments on your blog. Maybe you could show your methods with darker scenery like that?

[marcobucci]

@ANONONTHEJEWTUBE I will do my best to get a new one up! Anything in particular you want to see that I haven't covered yet?

@marcobucci D'awww but I love them!
