Grey Horse Galloping Paint by Numbers
This grey horse galloping paint by numbers kit shows a dappled grey horse in full gallop, with a white mane, golden dust and a stormy sky behind it. Each area carries a number, so you fill the picture one patch at a time.

- Sizes20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes)
- Time~12 to 30 h depending on size

Difficulty level : Advanced
iWhat does this level mean?
- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
A grey horse galloping paint by numbers kit in portrait format
The dappled grey horse is shown in profile, white mane swept back and tail in the wind, caught in a cloud of dust lit by golden light. The sky behind it stays dark and cloudy. The coat uses greys, whites and blacks, with lighter patches on the neck and flanks, while orange and brown fill the ground and the low glow. The portrait format keeps the horse in the centre with little empty space. Detail is medium, and the printed outlines clearly separate the coat, the dust and the sky. It is an intermediate, realistic design that takes around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the dark sky and the dust cloud. These are the largest areas and they set the background values. Keep the greys of the coat for the end: the dappled patches mean following the numbers carefully, without mixing neighbouring tones. Paint the white mane and tail with the fine brush, strand by strand. At 40x50 cm the horse has enough room for the grey transitions to stay clear. Choose 36 colours if you want more variation in the coat, or 48 for the finest shading. If you like this subject, browse our full horse paint by numbers range.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this galloping horse?
40x50 cm suits the medium detail of the design: the coat, the mane and the dust stay distinct. 30x40 cm works for a first try, but the dappled patches become smaller to fill.
Are the mane details difficult to paint?
The white mane and tail need the fine brush, as the strands are separated by narrow lines. The rest of the picture is filled with the medium brush. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
Who is this grey horse picture a good gift for?
It suits someone who rides or follows racing, and who has already painted a few canvases. The portrait format sits well on a narrow wall. The kit contains the canvas, the numbered pots, three brushes and the paper chart.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Paint the areas according to the numbers on the canvas. Start with the dark sky and the dust cloud, then the greys of the coat, and finish with the white mane using the fine brush. The paper chart helps you check the numbers of the areas.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The difficulty is intermediate. The large areas of sky and dust are easy. The dappled patches of the grey horse mean following the numbers without mixing neighbouring tones. The mane is painted strand by strand with the fine brush.
