Horse with Feathers Paint by Numbers

Horse with feathers paint by numbers: a brown horse on dark red

This kit shows the neck of a brown horse turned to the left. Its blonde mane falls in long strands where red and beige feathers are fixed. A white blaze runs down the face to the nostrils. The background is dark red and slightly irregular in texture, which makes the head stand out. Brown and beige dominate the mane and coat, white marks the blaze and the eye, and black outlines the muzzle. The portrait format leaves little empty space. The detail is medium, with intermediate difficulty: the strands and feathers need steady work. If you like animal portraits, our horse paint by numbers range has more designs.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the dark red background: it covers the largest area and gives you a reference for the rest. Then paint the neck and head in brown, following the direction of the coat. Keep the blonde feathers and strands for the end, with the fine brush, as these are the most detailed areas. The white blaze on the face needs a steady hand. Count on around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. Choose 40x50 cm or larger if you want to work on the feathers without straining over small strokes.

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 and numbers of the brown horse, its mane and the feathers.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the brown, beige, red, white and black seen on the horse.
• Brushes:The fine brush is for the feathers and the white blaze, the medium for the coat, the broad one for the red background.
• Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers of the areas on the horse and mane.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the horse canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
