Cosmic White Horse Paint by Numbers

Cosmic white horse paint by numbers: the scene on the canvas

The horse's head turns to the left, its mane streaked with stars, against a dark space background. Midnight blue covers most of the canvas; purple nebulae, golden planets and white star dots fill the space around the animal, with gold highlights running along the neck and mane. The white coat stands out sharply from the blue, so the numbered outlines stay easy to follow while you work. Landscape format. Medium detail level: the coat and the sky are broad areas, the stars and planets ask for a finer hand. Intermediate level, so it suits a painter who has finished a simpler kit. It sits with our paint by numbers for kids and beginners designs.

Tips for painting this design

Block in the midnight blue and black background first, since it covers half the canvas, and give the dark a second coat so it reads evenly. Paint the white of the horse in two thin coats; one thick pass leaves streaks on a pale coat. Save the stars and gold dots for the end and use the fine brush. Work the purple nebulae in short strokes so the edges melt into the blue. The 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm sizes keep the planets clear without shrinking the stars, and expect roughly 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you pick. The colour options run from 24 to 48 pots, which changes how many shades share the nebulae. If the subject suits you, the horse paint by numbers range has more designs.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with a wooden frame to assemble or with the canvas already mounted on its frame (except in 50x70 and 60x80 cm, delivered rolled). Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the horse's head, the starred mane and the planets.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and hold the midnight blue, white, gold, purple and black of the scene, in sets of 24, 36 or 48.
• Brushes:Three brushes: fine for the star dots and gold highlights, medium for the head, wide for the space background.
• Guide:The paper chart helps you place the numbers of the golden planets and the highlights along the neck.
• Optional:Add the wooden frame to assemble and the canvas hangs stretched; without it, the kit arrives rolled in a tube. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
