Two black horses paint by numbers: a realistic portrait to paint yourself
Two black horses stand side by side, heads turned towards the viewer. The coat is dark, and grey and white highlights mark the muscles of the neck and hindquarters. The background stays plain black with no scenery, so all the attention goes to the animals. Long manes fall along the necks, and each gaze is worked in dark brown and off-white. The linen canvas arrives with outlines and numbers already printed. This is an intermediate, realistic design in portrait format.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the plain black background: it fills quickly and defines the silhouettes. Move on to the dark masses of the two horses, then the manes. Keep the light greys and whites for the end, because they give volume to the necks and hindquarters. The eyes are small and need the fine brush. Choose 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm, as the portrait format leaves enough room for the heads and manes. If you like horse subjects, our horse paint by numbers range has more designs, and the paint by numbers for adults category suits those who want a longer project.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this painting of two black horses?
40x50 cm gives a clear result for the heads and manes. 50x70 cm or 60x80 cm offer more room for the grey gradients. 20x30 cm is possible, but the eyes become very small.
Is this design difficult to paint?
The level is intermediate. The plain black background fills without precision. The difficulty comes from the light highlights on the coat and the eyes, which need a fine brush. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
Horse lovers and people who like dark animal portraits. The portrait format hangs well in a hallway or bedroom. The kit contains the canvas, the numbered paints, three brushes and the guide.
