- 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.
White horse head with pricked ears paint by numbers
This realistic portrait fills almost the whole canvas with the horse's head, ears pricked and mane falling to the right. The background stays plain black, with no scenery, so the pale coat takes all the attention. The coat is divided into the white of the face, the greys of the muzzle and the blue greys of the shadows under the jaw. The black eye and nostrils call for a steady hand. Each area carries a number that matches a paint pot, and the level is intermediate, with medium areas and some fine details.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the black background: it borders the mane, and painting it first keeps you from spilling onto the pale strands later. Then cover the large white areas of the face and cheeks in two thin coats so the numbers disappear. Leave the blue greys of the muzzle and shadows until last, as they mix badly with wet white. Work the eye and nostrils with the fine brush, without going over the same spot twice. Choose a larger size if you want the mane strands to be easier to paint. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. If you want ideas for other subjects, our animal paint by numbers range has more portraits.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. 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 horse's head, the mane and the black background.
Paint:The numbered pots contain the white, grey, black and blue grey for painting the head, eye and nostrils.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the black eye and details, the medium for the mane, the large for the background.
Guide:The paper guide lets you check the numbers for the horse and dark background areas.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the horse portrait canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
With frame
Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the finished picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this horse portrait?
Sizes run from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. A mid size such as 40x50 cm balances detail and painting time. Smaller sizes make the mane strands tighter, and the largest sizes can take around 30 hours.
Is the black background hard to paint?
No, it is the simplest area: a single shade over a large surface. Paint it first in an even coat, so you do not have to work near the white strands you have already finished.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
For anyone who loves horses and animal portraits. The plain background and close framing keep the picture clear to follow. Choose the framed option if the person wants to hang the canvas as soon as it is finished.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the black background, then paint the large white areas of the face and cheeks in two thin coats. Keep the blue greys of the muzzle and shadows for the end.
How do I revive dried paint?
The numbered acrylic paints are ready to use. If they dry out, add a drop of water and mix. Paint area by area, and use the fine brush for the eye and nostrils.
