dude, i just love how marco explains everything, it's impossible not to learn something.

[Movel]

I owe you one, Marco. My eggs are definitely gonna look a lot better from now on!

[Nostale]

I'm on the third year of my Fine Arts degree, and you're the teacher I've never had. Seriously, I learn more with your videos than I did in three years of fine arts university.

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

[harrysanders]

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.

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

[hylianspots]

"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!

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

[Lissbirds]

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

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!

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

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

[mrsplosh]

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 :)

Thank you for explaining the "warm light, cool shadows" I was always confused about this but now that you explain this it makes so much sense

[infernoyt]

U just read my mind... I was literally searching for a vid abot dis topic.... THX

[alishajones]

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

[kyletwebster]

So much valuable info in such a short video. Bravo!

[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.

[sowseedsandreeds]

This is incredibly helpful! I’m studying to be an art teacher, I will definitely reference you if that’s okay!

[theleechqueen]

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.
