Perseus Drum Horse - Part 8

I loved drawing his muzzle :) 

The techniques in this are putting the pigment in and then gently lifting where the highlights are - works really well :)

Looking forward to seeing your work in progress. Don't forget to credit me and Rose from Daydream Equine Photography.

Perseus Drum Horse - Part 7

You may want to get your magnifying glasses out for this bit! 

Now I kind of cocked up the crown bit, and actually I should have worked out the angles etc first before drawing it in - so I would encourage you to do that - don't be lazy like I was lol!

Sound - I still don't have curtains up in the studio which...

Finally back to Perseus :) This video is the white blaze above the nose band. Image attached and line art.

August focus tutorial

This is what we'll be drawing in August. Blue Husky eye :) I'll be including the hair around the eye as that's quite a tricky thing to draw. My initial thinking is drafting film for this one.

August Tutorials

Let me know which you'd like to see in August as the main tutorial. 

Girl would be done on white pastelmat board, GS either pastelmat or drafting film.

Quick update :)

I am very hopeful I'll be back in my studio on Saturday :) I cannot wait! I have a very busy recording schedule to get through - starting with more of Perseus and then the grey horse - I do apologise for not sharing any videos in the last few weeks - it's just been impossible to record in the kitchen sadly.

Hope you're ...

Black lab live stream tonight 8pm

I’ll be going live in the Patreon Facebook group tonight at 8pm when it’s a bit cooler hopefully. This isn’t a draw along more a q&a and chat as I draw and explain what I’m doing. My own photo im working on dark grey pastelmat board with polychromos, museums, luminance and pablos 🥰

Exmoor Pony Live stream links

NB YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF THE PATREON FACEBOOK GROUP TO VIEW. 

Here are the facebook group links of the live streams I did on Saturday.

Thank you all who joined me - these are great sessions where you can ask questions etc. and I'll be doing more of these :)

I'm going to experiment in streaming via ...

Exmoor Pony Live Streams

Hi everyone - because I can't record at the moment I feel a bit guilty in not giving you any content (I know I shouldn't lol but I do)

So I was thinking would it help if I did a couple of live streams - would be in the Patreon facebook group so exclusive to you guys - I can rig my camera up so that it sees my drawing bo...

Patreon Tutorial Links Library

Hi all, I have had a links library for a considerable amount of time but I know some of you don't know about it - I do try to share and pin to facebook and patreon, but it seems to be being missed.

I am so very aware that the navigation in Patreon is quite frankly pants - so I have created an area in my website for all ...

Quick Update

Morning everyone, I hope you're all ok :) 

I just wanted to send you a quick update mostly around recordings - as some of you know I have temporarily moved out of my studio as it's being refurbished - new floor (I was constantly tripping or my chair getting stuck on the very old laminate that was in there), new she...

I’ve added a few more proficiency places

Grab them while you can 🥰

Dachshund Part 4

Final part of this little tutorial. I do hope you enjoyed it.

Don't forget to give me and Kerri Afford a shout out when sharing :) 

Dachshund Part 3

Meg Golden Retriever - Step by Step Download

Here she is and she's back for good :) 

There's no video in this one - she was destined for my book but we swapped her out at the last minute. So you get to have the step by step :) 

Enjoy :) 

Dachshund Part 2 - Focus

We've done the Base sketch - I rather like him as he is to be honest.

Now we're going to start adding colour. I've gone quick quickly and this is a much looser style, but that's intentional with this piece as I want you to start relaxing into your drawings and not think about things too much :) 

Dachshund Part 1 - Focus

Size: 10x12"
Surface: Stonehenge Aqua Hot Press 550gsm (you can use any surface you like)
Loose sketchy style

I'm using a loose sketchy technique for this piece, so it's a little quicker but also to get you loosening up. Having a loose style to begin a piece enables movement to creep ...

July Q&A 29th July 7pm

The June Q&A was fab - lots of social media pages to critique - I’d like to critique a couple in this session and also answer your questions.

If you have questions please send to bonny@bonnysnowdonfineart.co.uk label your email July Q&A, and if you would like to be in with a chance of having your social media ...

Meg is coming back - and she’ll be here to stay 🥰

I’ve decided to pop Meg back up again as a birthday treat and will leave her here for you rather then just having her available for a month 🥰 she’s not a video tutorial but a full step by step pdf which will be available across all tiers from 2nd July 🥰

Friday 25th June Q&A replay

Here's the replay for Friday's Q&A, thanks everyone who joined :)

July's tutorials for full and focus

So you voted for the grey horse for your full tutorial which I'm thrilled about - all that leather work as well! 

Plus I've decided to create the little Dachshund  for the focus - it may turn out really detailed, or I might decide to go a little more sketchy - getting the essence of the form in there and conce...

Tonights Q&A slightly earlier - 6pm start

Don't forget tonight's Q&A - I'm having to start a little earlier that originally planned. 

I'm going to be taking your questions but also doing a couple of critiques on social media pages.

Here's the invite again if you need it :)
