Two Horses

One in the paddock, one at the feed trough, noses almost touching.

Horse people buy horse art, and this one goes further than a portrait — it shows two animals doing something recognizable to anyone who has kept them. That makes it a solid gift for a rider or a stable owner, and it belongs in a country kitchen, a hallway or a tack room.

The canvas is divided by the barn wall, and so is the work.

On the left you get the easy half: a paddock, a fence line, a yellow autumn tree and a bank of cloud, all painted in broad loose shapes with no precision required.

On the right it tightens. The timber wall is board after board of grain and shadow, the hay is a mass of individual straws, and the darkness of the stable doorway sits behind it all.

The horses themselves are the reason to buy it and the reason to take your time. Manes drawn strand by strand, muscle worked with lit edges and deep shadow, and four eyes that decide whether the whole thing works.

You could paint this with 24 colors and get a bolder, more graphic result. It would cost you the black horse. His coat is almost entirely built from close dark values — blue-black, charcoal, warm brown in the highlights — and without those steps he flattens into a silhouette. The chestnut has the same issue in reverse, running from near-white on the blaze through gold to deep russet.

We recommend the 36-color version for this design.

What's included:

• 16x20 in (40x50 cm) numbered canvas
• Available in a 24-color and a 36-color version
• Acrylic paints and brushes included
• Choose rolled canvas or pre-stretched on a frame

No experience is required. Every canvas is clearly numbered, guiding you step by step. Thousands of first-time painters have completed their first artwork with our kits – and loved the result.

You'll not only enjoy the process but also experience the "wow effect" when you see your finished painting come to life.

Everything you need arrives in one box:

• Pre-printed numbered canvas (your chosen size)
• Acrylic paint set (24 or 36 colors – always enough to finish, and we'll send extra for free if you ever run out)
• 3 premium artist brushes (different sizes for details and larger areas)
• Reference color chart & printed guide
• Step-by-step instructions
• Optional: Pre-stretched frame (ready to hang)

24 or 36 colors — which version?

It's simply how many different shades the design is painted with. The 24-color version has a clean, classic look and is a little easier to paint. The 36-color version adds extra shades for smoother blending and a more realistic finish. Both come with all the paint you need to complete your canvas — the number is about shades, not how much paint.
