Three horses stand in a field, and the drawing makes a point of their different sizes: a tall one, a middling one and a small one at the end, with a tree at one end and a fence running the width of the sheet. Three coats means the temptation to use three browns, which flattens everything; one dark, one pale and one dappled keeps them separate and tells the story of a family without a word. The tree is the long part, leaf mass rather than branches. Six and up, a good twenty minutes. Just two of them, closer together, on Two Horses.
Coloring ideas for this page
- One dark, one pale, one dappled, so the three never merge.
- A single flat green for the field, to keep the horses forward.
