- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.

Black horse rearing paint by numbers: a dark stallion against a golden sky
The stallion rears on its hind legs with its mane swept back and fills the centre of the portrait canvas. It stands on dark brown ground. A dead tree with bare branches rises on the right. Behind them, grey, ochre and golden yellow blend like low light breaking through clouds. Black covers the neck and legs, and brown highlights mark the coat. The upright format stresses the height of the movement. Detail is medium: printed outlines guide each area, including the fine branches and the clouds.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky, which needs the most attention. Paint the grey, ochre and golden yellow in broad bands with the medium brush. Then do the dark brown ground, followed by the dead tree and its thin branches with the fine brush. Leave the horse's black for last and keep the brown highlights on the coat clean. A 40x50 cm or 60x80 cm canvas shows the sky nuances and the tree silhouette better. The 20x30 cm is a reasonable choice if you are a beginner. This is an intermediate level kit. If you like the subject, our horse paint by numbers collection has more designs to compare.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this rearing black horse?
The 40x50 cm gives a good balance between the sky detail and the horse's silhouette. The 60x80 cm works as a large wall picture. The 20x30 cm is still possible for a first try.
Is this painting difficult?
The level is intermediate. The sky and ground areas are large and easy to fill. The dead tree branches and the highlights on the coat need the fine brush and some patience.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
It suits horse lovers and people who like dark landscapes. The complete kit with printed canvas, paints and brushes makes a gift for an adult or teenager.
How do I revive dried paint?
The numbered acrylic pots reseal quickly. Add a drop of water and mix with the fine brush. Paint the sky first, then the brown ground, the dead tree, and keep the horse's black for last.
What is paint by numbers?
The printed linen canvas has outlines and numbers. Each acrylic pot matches an area. The paper guide helps you check the numbers. Paint the sky, ground and tree, then the black horse last.
