All four hooves are off the ground at once, the mane and tail flying straight out behind, with round round bushes and a low bank of cloud at the back of the sheet. That stretched-out shape is what makes the page: colour the mane in long strokes that follow the direction it is blowing and the horse looks like it is moving, work across them and it stops dead. The body is one big area, so the whole difficulty sits in the hair. Five years old, and a solid twelve minutes. Standing straight up instead, Rearing Horse is up on two legs.
Coloring ideas for this page
- Dark brown all over with a black mane and black lower legs.
- Green field, pale sky, so the horse stays the darkest thing.
