Watercolor and white gouache are great for quick outdoor sketches, capturing basic color and light relationships. In this demo, @marcobucci demonstrates how he uses a Strathmore craft paper sketchbook and a simple watercolor palette to paint. His process involves a fast pencil sketch to block in major elements, focusing on composition rather than detail. He mixes colors directly on the palette, often using white gouache to add body. Wet-into-wet techniques create natural blending, and he emphasizes the importance of observing and editing real-life scenes to enhance artistic skills.
