Black Rearing Horse Paint by Numbers

Black rearing horse paint by numbers: a stormy field to paint

A black horse rears in the middle of a field of golden grass. It is shown in profile, front legs raised, with the mane and tail carried by the wind. The stormy sky fills the top half of the portrait canvas, with grey clouds and orange dusk reflections. The ground mixes brown, ochre and powder pink across the tall grasses. The dark silhouette stands out against the pale sky, so the outline is easy to follow. The level is intermediate: most of the surface is medium areas, with some fine details on the mane and tail. Our horse paint by numbers range includes other poses and colourways if you want to compare.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky: the greys and oranges of dusk cover large areas that are easy to fill. Then paint the golden grass from the bottom upwards. Keep the horse for the end. The black coat needs two thin coats to stay crisp, especially on the mane and tail where the strands are narrow. Choose 40x50 cm or larger to paint the hooves and neck without straining the brushes. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. If you like calmer scenes, see our English countryside paint by numbers.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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 of the black rearing horse and the numbers for the areas of the stormy sky.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots contain the black of the horse, the grey of the clouds, and the orange and powder pink of dusk.
• Brushes:The fine brush traces the wind-blown mane, the medium brush the golden grass, the broad brush the sky and the plain.
• Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you place the numbers on the flowing tail and the dusk reflections.
