“Check out Marco Bucci's 10 Minutes to Better Painting series and his other videos on YouTube. These will give you a taste of the excellent insights that he has on creating art. Bought his Digital Painting 1, 2, & 3 Triple Pack from his website and have no regrets. Marco clearly explain how he paints and why. His explanations are not mechanical and you cannot help but get up with his enthusiasm for art. Thank you, Marco, for helping us remember that creating art is a process of imagination and asking questions along the way and enjoy the "happy little accidents" that we meet along the way! Because of the quality of his teaching, I also bought his Color Survival Guide and Understanding the Head workshops. You should definitely check those out also.”

“Working my way through these videos, partway through painting 2. Absolutely love them, its so nice to hear a professional artists view on their own work as they are creating it ( or just after ;) ). i used to get myself bogged down with technique and process and the painstaking planning of art, for that i was cured by the 10 mins to better painting videos and then these have helped me to just let go and free myself to just CREATE SOME DAMN ARTWORK. thanks for everything.”

There are no absolute requirements, but I do recommend having a tablet (a product like Wacom or Huion, for example) as well as a digital painting application.
For traditional media, any brand of watercolors and gouache will work, though do not recommend student-grade paints. I use brands like Winsor&Newton, Holbein, and Daniel Smith. I also recommend using at least 140lb paper, as anything thinner will not be able to survive multiple washes.
If you’re interested in painting, I think the best place to begin is at my YouTube channel. I have many short lessons there covering a whole slew of important art fundamentals. Then I recommend purchasing the videos in the Digital Painting series, as those videos feature in-depth demonstrations, in real time, of which fundamentals I am applying, and how I am applying them.
Understanding and Painting the Head is also a good choice for beginners who have a little bit of drawing experience, but want to know how to take the next steps and develop good habits.
Illustrating Children’s Books will take you through many important fundamental drawing and painting lessons, applicable to any project or medium.
