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 horse galloping in dust paint by numbers kit
The horse charges straight at you, hooves forward, with mane and tail carried by the movement. It kicks up sprays of dust on light earthy ground, against a dark, textured background. The dominant tones are beige, brown, ochre, white and black. The drawing is realistic and detailed: the strands of mane, the hooves and the dust clouds each form distinct areas. The portrait format follows the horse's position. Outlines and numbers are printed on the linen canvas, and each acrylic paint pot matches one area. If you like this subject, see our full range of horse paint by numbers kits.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the dark, textured background, then the light earthy ground: these two areas set the contrast of the painting. Leave the horse for the end. The mane and tail need the most care, so paint strand by strand with the fine brush and avoid blending two neighbouring brown numbers. Work the dust sprays last, in small touches of beige and white. Choose 40x50 cm or larger to give the mane and hooves enough room. Expect around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size, and an advanced level.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the galloping horse, mane in the wind and sprays of dust.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the beige, brown, ochre, white and black of the horse and the ground.
Brushes:The fine brush draws the strands and hooves, the medium the body, the large the background and dust.
Guide:The paper guide helps you place the numbers on the mane, tail and earthy ground.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas for painting the head-on horse and the dust sprays.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.

Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the painting on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this galloping horse?
