Testimonials

“I have been watching your short YT videos for around 2 years, when, at 53, I started my journey into environment design. I love the way you play with colour and the apparent chaos of your strokes that eventually become fine pieces of art. Due to time constraints I am still watching the first course but I am loving it and truly recommend it to anyone who looks for an artistic approach to digital painting. The single layer process is quite challenging and traditional as is the result i.e. fantastic!”

Pedro Alves

“Amazing courses! Great balance between theory, technique and practice which gives us the right tools and motivation. Exactly what I expected from Marco after seeing his yt videos :)”

Karolina Milarska

“I have learnt more real insights from Marco’s tutorials than any other. Good value painting package. Not cheap but a lot of content. The great thing is that the tutorials take place at a natural pace so you have time to digest and absorb an awful lot of content and insights. This package covers 3 large projects one medium and a few other supporting tutorials. Every one has real value. Marco has a real talent for teaching and his delivery is relaxed and yet very engaging Very highly recommended…. in fact I have already purchased another course since. ++++”

Marco Bucci

Illustrator | Educator

Marco Bucci recognized two things at a young age. The first was that he wanted to become a professional artist. The second was that he couldn't draw. This delayed him for quite some time. He filled that time pursuing other artistic interests such as music and writing, but the urge to draw never left him. At age 19 he began to study classical drawing, which led him to kindle a love for painting and illustration. He hasn't looked back since. ​Marco's experience includes books, film, animation, and advertising. His clients include: Walt Disney Publishing Worldwide, LEGO, LucasArts, Mattel Toys, Fisher-Price, Hasbro, Nelvana, GURU Studio, C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures, Yowza! Animation Inc., Pipeline Studios, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
