Marco Bucci explains hue, saturation, and value in digital painting, using the color wheel to teach how colors relate and interact. He shows why digital mixing differs from traditional media, why gray and desaturation help unify a palette, and why value is key to showing form. This is a foundational lesson for beginners looking to build color confidence.
