 Creating a Flaxen Liver Chestnut with Pure Pigments
Run time is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes long (80 minutes total).
**Before going into all of the details please be aware, this video does NOT go over the white markings done to this horse. I will have a separate video in the next couple of months that will go over all types of white markings (appaloosa, tobiano, overo, sabinos and normal markings). Also, even though Pure Pigments were used in the creation of this horse, pastels can be substituted for the pigments. They both are applied exactly the same way. Colors may vary and it may take more layers with pastels as opposed to pure pigments.
This video is perfect for the beginner and for those that battle grain, sealer problems and more. Many problems occurred during this pony's creation. You get to see those problems AND how to fix them! Problems that occurred and were resolved are:
• Had a darker color in my brush when I went to apply a lighter color. I go over how to subdue/get rid of that darker color (AFTER the sealer was applied).
• Uneven/splotchy application of color and how to fix before you seal.
• Grain issues (what grain looks like, how to resolve it)
• What to do when you spit on your horse
• What to do when your color goes too red/orange (in this case, the flaxen mane and tail)
• What *can* happen if you seal too close. Except instead of normal separation this actually went all the way down to the white coat!
And even after all of those problems, the little bugger still turned out just fine.

 Creating a Varnish Roan Appaloosa in Mixed Media
This horse is done in a mixed media of pastels and acrylics. Some pigments were used but are not necessary (pastels can be substituted for pigments like always). This instructional video was done on my 2010 NAN Donation.
This is a 2 Disc set and is approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes long. Chock full of information!
Tons of stuff discussed in this video from:
• Roaning in acrylics
• Roaning in pastels or pigments
• Doing two toned tails in acrylics or pigments/pastels
• 4-5 different methods of haloing around the spots. These same methods can be used for mapping on tobianos, sabinos, overos, and leg and face markings.
• Mottling on the face and groin
• How to smooth out white markings and rough surface areas
• Using a carbide scraper to create hair detail
And MUCH MORE!

 How to Create a Black with Pigments or Pastels
The video is just over 1 hour long. This is a two part video (not 2 discs, just 2 parts). The first part is ‘How to Create a Seal Brown/Warm toned Black’ and the second part is ‘How to Create a Cool Toned or Blue Black’. Two different horses, two different ‘tones’. There is some dappling that occurs in the cool toned black segment, but it’s so hard to see if you REALLY want to see dappling I suggest the Buckskin or Dapple Gray Videos since those are done on a lighter horse. There’s also a small extra segment in the Seal Brown section that goes over how I do wispy appy markings. No spots or anything, just those little wispy blankets. I kept that section short and didn’t go into much since I will be doing the White Markings video that will cover a wide range of white markings and how-tos.

 Creating a Bay with Pure Pigments
This is a very ‘quick’ bay taking very few layers (about 12-15 or so I think...haven’t counted them up). Because it’s quick, I do have a section on how to ‘back a horse out’ because I ran into some issues. Some dappling is also covered in the video. Issues such as grain and unevenness of color are encountered and discussed on the video (what causes it, how to fix it). This is a nice medium bay but I also go over how to change up your colors for a lighter bay and a darker bay. This video is just over 1 hour long.
