A black horse rearing on a rock at sunset paint by numbers kit
This design shows a stallion rearing on its hind legs at the top of a rocky outcrop. Its mane flows to the left, pushed by the wind. The sky fills the upper half of the canvas, with grey and orange clouds crossed by late evening light. Under the hooves, the rock is brown and grey with sharp edges. The horse stays black over almost its whole surface, so it stands out clearly from the background. The yellow and orange parts of the sky are broad, flat areas that go on quickly. The canvas is in portrait format.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky: apply the orange and yellow areas with the wide brush, from the lightest shade to the deepest. Paint the rock in brown and grey next, then move on to the horse. Leave the black until last, because it borders light areas and any slip would show. The mane and hooves need the fine brush. The level is intermediate, and a 40x50 cm size suits the amount of detail. Choose 36 colours if you want smoother gradients in the sky. If you enjoy this subject, see our horse paint by numbers collection.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this black horse rearing?
40x50 cm is a good compromise: the horse and the rock stay clear, and the sky has no tiny areas. 30x40 cm suits a first kit, and 60x80 cm gives you room to work the clouds in detail.
Is the design difficult to paint?
The level is intermediate. The sky and the rock are filled in medium areas. The difficulty sits in the mane, the hooves and the outline of the horse, which need the fine brush and the black.
Who is this paint kit for?
It suits anyone who likes horses or dramatic skies. The black and orange contrast works well in a living room or bedroom. Allow 12 to 30 hours of painting depending on the size chosen.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the sky, using the wide brush on the orange and yellow areas from lightest to deepest. Paint the rock in brown and grey, then the horse. Keep the black for last, as it borders light areas.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
This picture is intermediate level. The sky goes on with the wide brush, then the rock in brown and grey, then the horse. The mane and hooves need the fine brush. Try 40x50 cm with 36 colours for the sky gradients.
