“Very good course, definitely worth the money. I think your video tutorials are very good, they are very educational. They contain a lot of information but presented in a cool and understandable way. Every time I watch your watercolor videos I feel like going outside to start sketching. (I also bought all your courses on the Proko site. They are not expensive and there is so much to find that I keep rewatching them.)”

“Marco is an excellent teacher and I loved the real world examples instead of the usually dry theory you find in other courses.”

“I love the courses I've purchased from this store, and Painting Outdoors was no exception. Watching examples of painting outside loosened be up to the idea, and I loved the run down on supplies. The only thing that could make it better would be more references to watercolor resources for beginners. There may have been more references, but I can't remember right away. I'd definitely buy another course like it.”

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.
