Ever look at a painting by a local artist (or your own) and not know quite how to explain what's wrong - but you know there is something wrong? The following videos explain what those problems are, and provide a checklist for your own work.
Mr. Bucci is a professional illustrator who manages to distill what every artist needs to know into five "Better Painting in 10 Minutes" videos, and does it with a pleasant speaking voice, obvious skill, and no confusing terms. Probably best for those who have a little practice under our belts, and he does much of his explaining via digital art, but these are relevant for anyone who seeks to avoid common pitfalls.

I've watched the first two and will be back to watch the others. I love the way that guy teaches! Already I know what I'm doing wrong with a painting I abandon last month just by watching the first video. Thanks for sharing theses.
ReplyDeleteThanks for passing this on, Lauren. I watched enough to know I can also recommend these videos. This guy can teach!@
ReplyDeleteEpisode 4 had an advertisement for an Annie Leibovitz portrait photograph master class that was every bit as inspiring at the video on shapes.
