Think as an ARTIST! Advanced Color Theory for Miniature Painters REBOOT

I've jettisoned 15+ years of time spent painting minis where my skills did not grow, evolve, or otherwise have enough 'DNA' to naturally improve. Without realising it, I was tidally locked into a static paint-by-numbers process but now all that's changing, thanks to you.

There's a bit of Colour Theory in each of my videos but it's been a while since the last one completely dedicated to a deep dive into the topic; in this time my practical painting and my theoretical understanding of painting have changed and evolved so I felt the need of an "holistic reboot" of the series to set a new milestone of my and YOUR growth as painters! Plus, I planned something completely different for this week but I've realised that my choices were difficult to understand without a video reference like this one 😅 or a three hours run 😅. DROP a LIKE to jumpstart the video!!! See you later at the premiere! 😘

Best explanation of highlights and shadows I've yet seen for mini painting, set into context! Thanks!

Your Italian Accent is very unique!!! Your Videos are very interesting! Thank you! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

You are an exceptional educator. Watching your videos offers me the ability to pursue art education when I wasn't really able to when I was younger. I'm eternally thankful!

My god you've got skills, Marco. Not only in painting--because obviously--but the skill with which you're able to teach complex techniques is super humbling to me. Thanks for making me better!

Yes, Marco, you are on the spot, putting “the story” on number one. Don‘t we all have stories in our mind when we look at our miniatures? And now you show us how to paint these stories into our figures. You keep providing incredible value. Thank you!

Great video! It's really interesting to see your thoughts and teaching style cohere more and more. One small request: the 2D and 3D examples are really useful, but it would also be interesting to see some bad examples, to help us notice if we're misunderstanding something and to recognize when we've not got something quite right. For example, a model with lots of good use of tone, but not enough values. Not to add more to your plate though!

Big heart for All Star Superman artworks <3

i started painting about a year and a half ago, and watched so much marco, trovarion, squidmar etc and was just overwhelmed with the crazy amount of things you could do to get results that were really pleasing. at first it was almost enough to shut me down, like... i will never be that good. i kept painting anyways, and i still have so much growth and things to learn yet to come; however my local hobby and game group seem to constantly love and compliment my work. these videos are masterclass level and if you push through them and try things without fear of consequence and ENJOY yourself, you will get better and better. keep them coming marco, with love from north dakota red river 40k group!

Positive comment for the algorythm. Color theory is maybe the most intresting and constructive topic Marco can deliver through his awesome channel. Keep it up!

I can't tell you how entertaining Marco is. Absolutely love his channel.

Your videos are my favorite. This is something I've had brewing around in the back of my mind, but no real way to put into words or work out. Been looking at OSL stuff, and I'm like, this has to be worked into day/night/weather somehow. Keep up this stuff. Ton's of creators say paint a line, paint some shade, paint the whole owl! You sir, are a teacher. Teach me. Side note, a topic I'd love to see is more deep dive into actual brush control, with how to hold brushes properly, positioning with hands, etc. I struggle with this. It's basic but I know a lot of people struggle with this and no one really deep dives it. "hold it like a pencil and cup your hands" isn't an answer I can really practice.

Not a question just wanted to say: I fucking love your theory videos. I am all about learning but Art is, and will always be, my favorite. Your videos have helped me learn and evolve in ways other channels couldn't provide and not just with miniatures. Thanks so much Marco! Hope to learn more with you.

This is a wonderful video, thank you so much 🙏

Thank you so much for making these videos. Back when I was younger the resources we had were limited. Even online it was a wasteland. Just nothing there. I knew about the color wheel. I used Dr Faust’s web page. A couple of books. Because of it I stagnated and with life, kids and career I stopped painting. I had no clue how art theory and technique could apply over all. Your channel and others. Blogs by people have helped me improve immensely in just 2 years of being back into the hobby. Now I’m have explored grisaille, brunaille and Verdaille and other techniques. While I am still not very good. My stuff looks good on the table top. It’s been amazing. Thank you again.

Holy Jaffa Cakes, you've just blown my mind! Thank you for this video and I'm so excited to paint my new minis using, I hope, some of these ideas.

10:03 got me really good haha! I love your editing!

Thank you for this!

damn over 71k already!!!! Another gem video. Thanks for sharing your tips!
