- As so many people have been messaging me to ask me what colours I use to draw vibrant bay horses, so, this week, I wanted to share a colour recipe that will help you when it comes to drawing bay horses.
The video delves into my formula for picking colours, how and when to then use them, and the layering process I use.

Fantastic video. Thankyou . You explain things so well.😊
That is coming along beautifully. Thanks for the tips. Very useful.
Beautiful horse!
I firmly believe that you “nailed it” when you were talking about so many things. The first thing you mentioned “you have to do the work”. It is so true!
Something I see over and over and over by “colorists” is the question: “how do you go about picking your colors?” Not just with myself, but with other colorists as well.
Frustrates me to not end. Seems to me that people want to be told each and every color to use, instead of figuring it out themselves. It’s as if they don’t want to play with their colors to see what they can and cannot do.
I guess that’s why “color alongs” are so popular. Yet, to me that is a cop-out, because some who only will color something if it is a color along, will never ever be able to color an image by themselves. At the same time, so many who do that, never end up with the same results as the one they were following, especially if the CZcamsr is an advanced colorist, because the person doing the follow along, has never learned the techniques involved. I call that nuts-o-wacko!
Then as you said about the color picker apps, spoiling them. I agree with you there too! I do have one, but I only used it as guide once in a while if I get stuck. I rarely use the suggestions 100%. I use it only to give me an idea of what I need to do. Besides the fact that, I have found that they aren’t 100% accurate anyway.
I tell people all the time, if you want realistic results, you have to put in the work. You need contrasts, you need to layer, you need to learn the techniques. Some appreciate the advice, others who are looking for short cuts, get upset. Go figure!
I am glad that I am at a point in my coloring journey that I have finally figured out to get rid of the dark lines on the images that I am coloring (digital downloads), so that I can get more realistic looking results. That I am adding in my own elements to the white negative space (if there is enough of it), thus on my way to learning how to eventually doing my own images. (Something that I honestly never envisioned doing, when I first started coloring 6 years ago.) That my hubby and I are learning how to draw, properly. 🙂
Needless to say, I am more and more looking to actual artists like yourself to learn from on CZcams, rather than simple colorists, unless they are advanced colorists, those are hard to find though. (There are a couple, but that is it. At least that I know of.)
Great content, as always! ☺️

Jeg elsker dine heste tegninger 🥰
Great video. I have a reference photo of a bay horse, but she is a very deep, blood bay color so I need to really think about working those colors out. Any advice is welcome. Then, Pastelmat or drafting film..or maybe hot pressed WC paper. Decisions, decisions!!:)
Beautiful love it
Thank you 🥰
Your very welcome
@@BonnySnowdonAcademyyour welcome 😊
First of all…Beautiful work 😍. You mention at the beginning that working on grey Pastelmat means the colours will never be as vibrant, so why not just use white Pastelmat instead?
Ah so the first layer is never going to be vibrant not the whole thing. The first layer on the dark grey will look a bit muted but as soon as you start layering and planning your colours the vibrancy appears 🥰 the reason I used the dark grey is because with this big piece I have the client a choice between the dark grey and the white 🥰
@@BonnySnowdonAcademy 👍Makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
