Whenever I start painting in too controlled a manner I come back to this masterly video to loosen up. Marc's simplicity is genius! I took all his Craftsy classes & they are great. Thanks for posting this
Just discovered this.. lovel lovel painting. Thecolouring isgreat. But loose? I don't think. He is very controlled. A very detailled drawing.. every shadow is specified with pencil lines.. practically everything is painted painstakenly with the very tip of his brush. No flowing color.. But gorgeous work.
Just discovered these videos. As others have said, the video and camera angles are great. About the music, it is not only too loud, but ... it's hard to know what kind of music is appropriate for everyone. For urban sketching, the sounds from the street fill in the time when Marc isn't talking. We've all been out there drawing and hearing the street sounds makes me feel like I'm out there again. There's a lot of precedent for this in other urban sketching videos. So how about trying them without music? Let the subject shine through -- the whole atmosphere is there. Thanks for considering this!
a great urban plein air sketch. it also shows that if you have a very good quality and responsive brush outdoors, then you don't need a million brushes to do the job but one that can produce a high vocabulary of strokes, really convenient in a plein air setting.
This is more than a sketch. Also, so many people overlook, ignore or don't understand the important of the DRAWING.It's not about a paint brush and strokes. Without a solid drawing, there can be no decent painting. Sketching is different, but I wouldn't call this a sketch.
This is incredible. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us. My question might be naive, but I didn’t see how he managed to rinse the brush or prevent color contamination. That’s always a big concern for me. Hope someone explains. Thanks!
Oh I am sorry. I guess it depends on the volume or your computer. Mine is always rather low. That said, I chose to lower the music in my last video as I was thinking it could be too loud so I think you are right. I will keep lowering the music in my next videos too. Thank you for your feedback.
I like it. Nice preservation and use of the whites of the paper. (I had a couple of songs going in my head anyway, so I just turned the sound off :-) .)
+MPFConservation Yes, Kate, I think it's really interesting to be able to study Marc brushtrokes. ;) He is so talented! I am happy Marc allowed me to share this with you. :)
+Luz Cano Pinto dos Santos Thank you for your comment. I am sorry, I don't speak Portuguese (Except Bon dia, bon tarde and obrigada of course!!)... So, obrigada! :) ;)
Yeah, sorry, everybody complains about the music... 😬 This was one of my first videos so I was not good at balancing audio levels and making the right musical choices but I think about uploading a new demo from Marc taro Holmes soon without any of these problems. 😉 Thanks for your feedback, anyway, Velga! 😊
You can't make "right" choices because people are different. Most of us do not need music at all in these educational/instructional videos. Those who prefer to have music in the background can easily turn on their own music according with their personal taste and preferences.

Amazing. I didn't mind the music at all. I found the video wonderful. What a lucky day to watch him sketch and paint!! Love it!
Great sketch and brilliantly filmed -I can see everything really clearly. thanks for posting

gio penn how about the really good quality and responsive hand, mind, eye? Whatever makes you think that your doing your best though....

This is awesome work! Well done
I admire how he does this. Painting such a scene is very difficult: the shadows change all the time.
nice tecnique and wonderful watercolor!
Thank you for posting this video, it is fantastic! :)

Would love to watch this again and again but man, that music was TOO MUCH!!!
Turn your sound off...
So interesting... and only one brush... excellent nyo!!!
Good afternoon ! Very nice !
What a great sketch!
Love this guy, wish would do book covering everything..
That brush looks fantastic! I wonder what size it is?
Beautiful. Do more videos.
The music is way too loud!

Please leave the music out completely! It is distracting and annoying!
@@tednorth4795 I also think the same when I watch. I really think it would be much better with out the music. It is very distracting.
Wow nice
Fantastic
Could you PLEASE ad closed captioning for those of us that have some hearing restrictions..Would sure appreciate that.Thanks
Nice, apart from the "music"
Folks, there is a volume control on your computer!
I like it. Nice preservation and use of the whites of the paper.
(I had a couple of songs going in my head anyway, so I just turned the sound off :-) .)
Amazing demo thank you! Kate Powell
+MPFConservation Yes, Kate, I think it's really interesting to be able to study Marc brushtrokes. ;) He is so talented!
I am happy Marc allowed me to share this with you. :)
Enjoy watching but couldn’t for very long with that music. Could turn it down but then miss your comments.
Beautiful
Thank you so much A Murphy. 😊
Love watching you
Should have left the music out!!! Terrible and distracting from the wonderful watercolour lesson.
I love it, beautyful
the music is anoying it detracts from concentraiting on the painting
What size is the quill brush please ?
Loved the video Marc. what brush did you use?
What brush are you using to paint. It seems to hold a lot of water and have a beautiful point.
Looks like a squirrel quill. My favorite type, incidentally.
Nice! What kind of brush are you using?
😍
Quando for crescida vou pintar assim......
+Luz Cano Pinto dos Santos Thank you for your comment.
I am sorry, I don't speak Portuguese (Except Bon dia, bon tarde and obrigada of course!!)...
So, obrigada! :) ;)
+Watercolor Sketching haha m8 its bom dia/tarde and not bon XD
But It´s normal to make mistakes if portuguese isnt your first language
Cool
Thank you!!
I’m ok with music mane it could be a little quieter. Thank for the project
Is there a tutorial on this painting?
Couldn't watch it with the music, unfortunately.
nice classical relaxing music should accompany this, the music is annoying
Which paper you use?
anne laure use a lot fabriano artistico not but here, i think marc taro use a fabriano artistico rough
Harpaint...I agree re annoying "music". Unfortunately, putting it on "mute" will also mute out any comments made by Marc. Love the demo, though!
what brush do you use?
Hi! Marc is painting with a DaVinci Artissimo Sable Quill. A size 3 or 4 I think. 😊
nice
The music is too loud and annoying! The video would be terrific without this annoyance.
But then I can't her him talking.
good
Amazing art. Dreadful music
cool;)
:) :) :)
No need for the music...why?
music from hell
Yeah, sorry, everybody complains about the music... 😬 This was one of my first videos so I was not good at balancing audio levels and making the right musical choices but I think about uploading a new demo from Marc taro Holmes soon without any of these problems. 😉 Thanks for your feedback, anyway, Velga! 😊
Little known fact.....the sound can be muted.

the music is terrible!
Nice work, but that music has to GO my friend!
Good demo...music sucked.
The music was very annoying!
Music sucks , and it distracts from the good feeling one might have seeing your talent.
had to stop watching...............TERRIBLE "music"!!
