Marco bucci is easily one of the best art educators. His tutorials are always super engaging and fun

I have been looking for a good sky tutorial for 4 years. Thank you.

Hey, Marc. One of my neighbors recently pointed out that the sky is made of water, which is why it is BLUE. This is a very successful businessman, and is a few months from his 50th. I'm gonna need that therapy link. :)

Your understanding of color is fabulous, I could watch you talk about color all day!

Have you checked out his courses? :D I bought several of them, and they're amazing! He's got one specifically about colors, too! ("Color Survival Guide") I highly recommend!!

9:40 thats so great idea for fantasy artwork

No way this guy isn't going to heaven. Bro is a saint! Giving insanely detailed knowledge for free.♥

I love your videos. I was sick a couple weeks ago so I had time on my hands and I binged on your videos like some people binge on Netflix 😂

Another time Marco Bucci teaches people with the fastest way possible with knowledge.

Totally random, but I think this is right up your alley. 😅 Have you ever "observed" bubbles and all of the colors they make while in the air? And the colors their shadows cast!? I was blowing bubbles with my three 3 year old, and I think I was having more fun than he was! Merry Xmas, Marco! 🎄

awesome dude, brought some light over a few things i've been getting wrong, much appreciated!

Cloud explanation about perspective actually helped me out alot!

I thought I knew how to paint slow l skies but this is on a whole new level.

A cool way to think of lightwaves is like little armies of soldiers. - Short wavelengths are the smaller soldiers. They fire blue arrows very fast, but they can only travel short distances. - Long wavelengths are the bigger solders that are stronger. They fire red arrows, but take longer to reload. However they can travel much further than blue arrows. - When the sun is above you, you are closer to the armies. Because the small soldiers fire their blue arrows much faster, they are blocking out the sky the easiest with their arrows, so this is what you see. - However when the sun is closer to the horizon, all of the arrows have more distance to travel. The little solders blue arrows cannot reach your position anymore due to the distance. All of the bigger solders arrows that are stronger can still travel far and reach your position though. This means that the only Arrows reaching you are now the red arrows (warm), so this is what you see.

Thank you! Your channel is an amazing resource!

I love your art tutorials so much, you always get me thinking far more about my technique and art as a process than the subject I'm drawing. It's helped me understand so much about my own work and how to be conscious when making artistic decisions.

Stunning painting and tutorial!

Holly smokes! this is a super amazing video. Looking forward to more helpful videos in the new year!

The flat bottom on clouds isn't due to weight, but rather a point in the sky where the atmosphere is so thin that evaporated water starts to condense. These tiny droplets then rain down a tiny bit, but are too small to really fall, so they rise again to the cloud and get a tiny bit bigger. That keeps happening until they're too heavy and rain happens.

Marco, I was fortunate enough to find your channel a couple years ago, and I have to say, your lessons are so well presented, and clear, it makes learning art and painting/illustration, so much more approachable, thank you!

I just found your channel, and it is at the perfect time! Novice self-taught artist here. Your videos are really helpful, clear and concise in educating me on colors and value. TY

Marco is simply the best teacher thank you!

Been having hella bad art block due to studies and you know what, maybe I'll give this a try tonight. Happy holidays.

You’re an amazing teacher and human being! This is a beautiful lesson

MORE PLEASE

Looking good, Marco Bucci. It seems like you working out harder than before

Ooooo Marco explaining how to paint beautiful skies is a real treat! I got to a point in the video where I had to pause it for a moment because I'd already learnt so much and had to take a moment to consolidate, and noticed that it was only three minutes in! You give so much in your videos. Thanks so much, Marco. A very happy Christmas to you and family! Adam (Sheffield, UK)

This deserves so much more views. Far better than all these “clout” art teachers that mostly just hype their own art

Packed with info and very well made, especially the colors tab as you paint. Thank you!

Every artist must know all these technical terms of colors and values used in a painting!!Gotta learn every aspects.Thank you very much for this wonderful lesson😊💕

You make things so easy to understand! Thank you!

So great! Thank you.

Such a great Tutorial! Helped a lot, thanks!

Your videos are amazing. Incredibly helpful, with just the right amount of explanation, concise and perfect real world examples. I learn a lot from you every time I watch a new vid

Finally a video on my favourite subject, thank you Marco for explaining It as well as you always do, also, I loved your audiobook, helped me as an artist and helped my artists mental state, Happy new year!

This is a fantastic video on composition in general, this really helped things about color relativity and atmospheric perspective click for me. Awesome vid!

Excellent video, as always! You figured out the perfect balance between keeping it simple and explaining things in some depth, so that the viewer gets a proper understanding of the subject but doesn't get overwhelmed. And of course the great demonstration drives it all home.

I am painting a sky right now, it's due tomorrow 😂 so that was so on point. Thanks! I would like a detailed tutorial on sunset sku though, I'm a bit struggling with the clouds colors

Excellent! Really informative. On a separate note, I just saw one of your videos on figure drawing. You recommended drawing from life. I believe you are/were from the Toronto area. Do you have any recommendations for where drawing from life is offered in Toronto. I'm not interested in formal classes at this time.

Your painting lessons are the best on the internet I think, and that is coming from someone who spent way too many hours watching/purchasing painting tutorials. That being said, there's one little thing that I'd wish you do more in your videos and that is changing up the art style. Pretty much all of the videos are in your unique style and I think that's really cute (and it is really useful to show many of your ideas/concepts). BUT, sometimes I wonder how your concepts would look like in a different style, like a more cartoon look or a more realistic one, because often the concepts you talk about (particularly the parts about using other, "foreign" colors) seem to be much more subtle in those other styles.

Amazing tutorial as always!

Best lesson on sky ever! Loved the video!

This is a really wonderful video. I love the blend of physics and technical approaches to building the image. Thanks a lot.

best tutorial on clouds I have even watched!

Fantastic information and easy to understand. Thank you!

Thanks Marco! I love painting skies, it really sets the mood for the rest of the piece. I learned a lot espcially the part about value in the beginning. What I do in spring and summer here in Italy, is photograph as many beautiful cloud skies as I can and learn from them!

The flat bottom of cumulus clouds is not because of weight, but because clouds form at the same pressure/temperature ratio. The condensation is pretty much instantaneous and as I said, it happens at the same level. The puffyness above is because the warm air below the cloud pushes the water droplets upwards, the these water droplets form at the base of the cloud. Usually young cumulus clouds will have a small bend at the bottom in one side (upwind, I think), that's where the warm air column connects with the cloud. The observation that cumulus clouds tend to have the same maximum size is spot on. They grow only to a particular size and then they fade away. Young clouds have very hard edges and white/blue color, older clouds are wispier and a bit yellowish/grayish in color. In a crazy day with tunderstorms these cumulus clouds merge into a great pillar, cumulus congestus, wich cand grow further into a cumulonimbus. This last one is the thundercloud and it's height can go to the edge of troposphere, to about 24.000 ft. The top of this thundercloud is also very smooth, flat and goes out into an anvil shape. One more thing (Dammit, now I can't stop): Cumulus clouds don't form just randomly. In the mountain area they form following the ridges or big difference in heights but they are displaced by the wind. In flatlands they create so called cloud streets, more or less in a straight line. I think the distance between these rows of clouds will be about 2 miles.

Thanks and a blessed Christmas and new Year 🥳

Brilliant tutorial as always! Thanks Marco ❤

your videos are so inspiring

TYSM❤

Very useful info!

Happy new year master thanks for the video

Omg, this is best video ever ❤❤❤

VERY helpful. no one is as efficient and effective as you!!

Amazing explanation

Thank you!

thank you

thanks!

Brilliant!

que maravilla! ❤️

hey marco can you make a tutorial on how to paint/ visualise different types of lighting? for eg. sunlight, torch light in the dark, candle etc?

Welcome back

amazing video

I would love a tutorial on the painting different aspects of landscapes (trees, grass, etc).

This video mostly covers blue skies but skies are honestly one of the things that have the biggest colour range, blues, greens, reds, yellows and much more. It's kinda cool.

Hey Marco, Love the video as always. Can you do a video on composition and what it really means.

Yay I got first comment. Also you're an amazing artist. Keep it up!

8:30 the reason why the sky above is still blue during sunsets is because the thickness of the atmosphere above is relatively more thin, so blue light that gets “stuck “ in the atmosphere along the horizon is still able to reach you from there. Plus, light closer to the red part of the light spectrum isn’t scattered as much by the atmosphere, so it doesn’t get reflected from there to you. There is a situation where the sky above you can be red. Along with Rayleigh scattering, there is also Mie scattering. Mie scattering is light reflected by particles in the sky such as dust, water vapor/clouds and dust. It reflects light across the entire spectrum of color. That is why sunsets in Africa are typically far more red, just as clouds being red that reflect the light of the sun during sunset

Hey youre back!

As for why the sunlight scatters more during sunsets or sunrises - imagine the Earth as a sphere and the atmosphere as a relatively thin layer covering it. If the sun is right above you (or close to that), its light will only have to pierce through that thin layer, but if it's low above the horizon, it will have to pass through a lot of it... well, horizontally. It's enough air to scatter more of the cooler tones and even greens/yellows making the sun itself look more orage/red than yellow. In short - it happens because the sunlight has to go through more air to reach you then.

"The rhymes will stop now" dang... I was kind of hoping the whole video would be in rhyme

Thank you so much, it was a very helpful tutorial, will you do a water masses color and overall shapes of water tutorial in the future?

Just in time! I tried painting clouds myself and ended up with a violent sea so I decided to add a kraken😂

I didn't know I wanted a sky tutorial

Just wondering, will you ever make one for looking down onto the sky from ontop? Or do you have any recommendations for videos on those? Cus i like space stuff but i would like to get better at drawing the sky from above

I can only speak from observation: I would tint the ground with some blue, especially close to the horizon. And shadows are crazy dark, especially shadows of clouds. Other than it's really just the perspective. Look for videos by paragliders or hang gliders, those people have great view downwards and they are more or less close to the ground (less than 10.000 ft)

You are covering the most important topics always. The sky was confusing as hell for me. Even though I am not a beginner even...

Does Marco have an intro to color course? like complete basics if never used color before?

thanks! lovely video. 12:03 what are other steps that often get combined because they inform eachother and make the different aspects of an artwork harmonize?

❤❤❤

I know it wasn't the focus, but between 1:50 and 1:53 it turned into a photograph! How the hell ...??

thanks. i was painting a sky o

hi, I'm a young artist and have been having a hard time drawing hands i was wondering if you could do a video about that

which app u used for drawing??

I saw green clouds once, an intense hail storm followed.

storm clouds?

Cyan is the word you want

why dont indigo or violet pass through the atmosphere, they are shorter wavelengths than blue after all

no no not the betterhelp!!!

Now i will binge watch every his every video on every platform and import his every artwork from every video and analize his colors and shapes and forms just like eathan becker told me to. Wish me luck or give me another artist to throughly consume i can share results with you too if you like . Bye thanks

This one seemed more complicated than I thought it would be. 😔

You're an amazing artist and as usual, this is another great tutorial. But please look into better help and don't accept another sponsorship from them. Most of their "therapists" are not trained nor professional in any capacity. Just a side hustle for them.

Loved the video, but I thought we (the internet) knew better about BetterHelp being a big fucking scam?

hard lecture, needs multiple re-watchings T_T

Great video!
