Art Travel Journal (3 paintings - materials and process!) 

Hey all! I imagine some of you may be wondering what colors I've got on my palette. I ... actually don't know. They change so often and I don't keep track. I do know that I couldn't live without: Ultramarine Blue Cobalt Blue Pthalo Blue Burnt Sienna Raw Umber Vermillion Cad Yellow Light The brands I use range. Holbein, Winsor/Newton, Daniel Smith, Daler-Rowney.

"coloring booky" is now a technical term I will use.

I love your humor man I laughed through the entire video haha. Anything you post here is a pleasure to watch, for the eyes and for the mood. Thank you for this moment

life tip for all the young artists who still live with their parents. Use your clothes as towels for your brushes and your mother will smack you senseless :P

Fantastic Marco. You brought some joy to my Mom in her final days, and it's wonderful to see the full video.

What James Gurney does to keep his water container from slipping, is he puts a small magnet at the bottom of his jar, and on the underside of his paint tray. I think it's a good solution, but haven't gotten around to trying it.

When you're cleaning up your brush with your pants- I'm dead.

7:00 I knew it was a matter of time 'til the dad jokes came in

Hey, it's my home town! Admittedly, a part of town that's probably too high-class for me to even look at, but it still counts!

Love seeing your process. I find it satisfying how loose you work, yet still manage to capture the scene beautifully.

Your sketching is so cool...The way you identify and implement colors - it`s so professional. Damn, it`s amazing....

Personally....i think art is a form of relaxing

Man he understands the Chadness of Putting paint on your pants. If my art teacher can see me now.

Outstanding video! Interesting, entertaining, great tips for the beginning or intermediate watercolor artist.

This is the content that I want

That 'art hack' caught me off guard! 😂

Keeping all the visual language and your image away, Your sound keeps to a promise of radiating energy and confidence for knowledge.

your watercolour art is so beautiful. I love learning how to paint like you in your videos!

the wifey is holdin it down bro...even on vacation

Man, I wish I saw your tutorials BEFORE my trip to Bahamas from last year 😭 your videos make me itch to paint again! Thanks for another golden tutorial👏

Fortunate timing for your trip Marco; just in time.

I would love to see your failures and a discussion, it would be invaluable learning. I feel every watercolour of mine is a failure so far. Thanks Marco 😀

I like your sketch package, quick start and one hand holding every thing.

Man, what a wholesome experience it must have been.

Simply amazing :D

Travel journaling? Sure, sounds fun. *Looks at bank account* Me: Guess I'll stay at home then.

This video uploaded exactly when I buy a small travel bag for art supplies.

Anything Marco Bucci I like, he perfected my face drawing skills

love the way you draw

Excellent work and presentation you make it look so easy I like your way of holding the pallet and card together that must be quite a trick when thing to teep it all steady and not drag paint from the pallet onto your work look forward to more of your highly informative videos kind regards mickT

Hehe. I'm personally one to wipe my brush on my arm, works just as well imo

Fantastic stuff Marco. Sometimes I get lost in the initial pencil sketch, and then the work turns into a pencil piece, or sometimes i get carried away with coloured pencils. Its great to see how much work can be done with just the brush and the right colours and values. Also I appreciate that frosty can of Kalik ! I had quite a few of those the last time I was in the Bahamas ! Cheers

Now I feel like doing journal painting on my vacation. I bet its satisfying and the memories last forever

Found your page like 10 mins ago. I live to paint but i feel like the stuff you are saying and the way you make it look so easy is wayyyyy out of my league. But looking forward to getting there one day.

I love the way you explain things, it is natural and easy to understand. Great content, great painting, video great !! Sei brillante Marco!

Thank you for sharing, extremly useful as always. I completely get being an artist on holiday and relaxing on a vacation being difficult. I feel like I am wasting precious painting and sketching opportunities! :D

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing

Please, please, please continue the character design series, the first two were so helpful and I can't wait to learn more.

You have a very interesting voice. I like it. And I love your humor. You are inspiring! Your art is reflective of your character which is genuine and intelligent.

Hahah. The art hack part 😂. So true. I don’t own a single pair of pants without paint on them. Love your videos man. I’ve watched every single one from back to front.

I wanted to do this so bad this summer hahaha travel to a nice place, take photos for future drawings, draw from life with the ipad and just draw with this nice palm tree beach vibe :D but iam i little bit afraid of travelling alone and yeah corona...

Wow thats amazing

old swim shorts/berms as a cleaning rag is such a cool idea! wow! thank you for sharing : ) joseph@singapore

Very cool, old swim shorts and all! Thankyou!

I've became your fan marco😍😍..... An artist with exact explaining skills... Strong legs😅... And humour... What else anybody needs☺☺👏👏🙌👍🤘

I hope you enjoyed your time here in The Bahamas, Marco. Thanks for the visual journal

lol I do the same with my pants, that's why I almost have no non-paint stained clotches to wear ToT xD

Wow, This was great! I'll try more live drawing from now on! It most be fun!! Happy vacations!! Thanks for sharing!

you make it look soo easy.

This is AMAZING! Thanks a lot, just what I needed on my gouache&watercolor journey.

Travel journaling! Marco, please travel with tablet once and show us the process in Procreate! Thanks!

11:35 me (watching this video on quarantine) : aight imma head out now (from my bed)

That art hack XD syper inspired but still super intimidated by it haha. Thanks for all the tips though! It’ll take time to change m y mindset with painting on location and lots of practice to see the way you see colors and compositions 😅

This is timely advice as I'm living abroad for a few months and im determined to document it by Watercoloring. Your watercolor videos are truely inspiring and I hope you make a more beginners guide to watercolor. I really like your speed and relaxed approach to painting, its actually the reason I started painting myself as I found water color to be rather slow and scary until I saw your work. However I realized that your speed and casual approach is probably the result of years of practice and slower paintings. When I started, I tried to emulated your speed and it often looked awkward and messy. After watching some of the slower methodical approaches from other youtubers, I was able to combine your eye and energy with the fundamentals. I hope one day you'll make a more foundational course with watercolor especially wth how you use gouache. Once again, Thank you for your passion and energy! If any inspiring Marco Followers are reading this, don't get discouraged! I highly Recommend Mind of the Watercolor to help get your fundamentals in.

Nice work as always Marco. Loved the sketch/painting

So delighted to see another video❤️ thanks Marco!

amazing stuff

Thank you marco! You are my number 1 art teacher youtube chanel!

Just this week I bought a music stand for this exact purpose. And today I went somewhere beautiful....and forgot it at home.

awesome video, as a beginner i cannot help but get caught up in trying to get every detail, so i get very overwhelmed and give up before i even got a chance to start. so, thank you for showing that we are free to omit loads of stuff or modify what we see to suit our composition, that is really helpful :D however, please, PLEASE tell me you don't go swimming in those shorts covered in paint?! paint is often toxic, as i'm sure you know, and that would hurt the marine life.

Thank you so informative

Thanks for tips... It's a really nice video. I enjoyed to watch it

Lindo!!♡

Highly enjoyable Marco! Big up

Really cool video, Marco. I liked seeing your process and how you 'saw' what you painted.

Nice journaling man ...

Visiting this video again after a year, and commenting with the hopes that you will see this comment and post more videos from your art journal!

Always so inspiring! Thank you!

I also have similar water containg problem and Im solve with 2 magnets, easy to travel and strong enough to support the water between the plastics

Amazing videos. Your art is just gorgeous

Great lessons..thank you sir 🧡🧡🧡A channel worth subscribing

So surprising to see this voice coming out of a person... It's so omnipotent narrator

I love this! I can never stand and paint.............

overboard, nice

Nice work! I do a fair bit of wildlife sketching in the field, but I've never really considered doing a travel journal of any kind. Maybe something worth having a look at though!

I really love your videos and this is no exception. How long did you spend on your sketch, and then the painting as a whole? Do you put a time constraint on yourself to make yourself work faster? Keep the videos coming!

Harika; Çok şey öğreniyorum minnettarım.

1:48 Marco Bucci kicking up new flavor in ya ear

Very convenient tool. The most convenient tool is a good tool. You draw well. I am doing the same.

That was hella inspiring in many aspects!! Damn now I kinda long for summer to come 😅

Dame ur so talented sir,,

Gotta like the heck out of this video for the art hack xD

Marco, Etchr Lab should give you a code to use for your subscribers, so that you could benefit from recommending them - I just bought the slate mini thanks to your recommendation and can't wait to use it for outdoors painting this summer. Your work is very appreciated 😍

This is a great video. Already shared it with some people that have been flirting with doing this. THANKS, MARCO!

inspiring ..

magical

This was excellent!

Oooh this is nice! I’m going on a holiday soon so I really enjoyed your tips. I hope to try and do those palm trees like you did. That was something new I learned! Yay😄 thanks for sharing! I really like the beach painting🥰

My first first, im a big boi

Didn't know that you too wiped your paintbrush on your pants! This is a wonderful coincidence; it appears that wiping paintbrushes on clothes is a behaviour that naturally evolves amongst outdoor watercolour painters.

This is a really cool insight into doing art while traveling! Assuming things are safe I'm hoping to travel to italy to do some art studying myself this summer after graduating, but I've never done a lot of plain air stuff. (Being a digital artist & animator n such). I love having a bit of insight into how you pick your compositions as well. ^^ Is there a particular reason you go with gauche/watercolor over sketching with dry materials like pencil or charcoal? Or is it just a medium you like working in?

thanks for the tips!!

Last time my wife and I went to the beach I took a watercolor set with me. I kept getting annoyed by all the people looking over my shoulder and making comments.

Wait, you can actually mix watercolors and gouache? Whaaaaa?

I've heard you say to paint what's important and skip the details (For the most part) How do you see what's important without seeing every single thing there. For years, I've struggled with this and my mind's eye screams, "Oooh! That's important! Don't forget the flowers over there!!" or something like that. Then I learned to blur my vision so I couldn't see the detail. Now, I'm an old man and can just take my glasses off while I study a subject then paint what's important. My question is how do YOU see what's important?

Do you have any video about how you paint? Some tips trick or else?

Any chance for more watercolour vids?

How did you use this travel journal or any travel journal to complete a finished painting? I like the trip out but I never understood the practical use of this kind of exercise.

Looks fun :) You're mixing so many colours into each other, both in the mix areas and in the colours themselves. Seen a lot of artists do it. Doesn't that muddle your paints? Do you clean your pallette after use or something?

hi Marco, How is it going? Thank you for all the useful content on your channel. Could you please point me to the brand of the "$3 1/2 brush" that you use in some of your videos? I'm in need for a 1/2 brush and would like to give that a try. If it is good enough for you must be good enough for me.
