Horses through human civilization

The horse is credited with the single most significant contribution to human civilization. This mammal is a strong beast (as in the draught or draft horse in the US) and a loving friend. The cowboy was a staple of the Wild West. An army was nothing without its cavalry. Horsehair is still used in some weapons.

A thoroughbred or purebred horse is worth its weight in gold. Peasants used the animal to harvest on the farm and to carry heavy loads, and they still do in some countries.

It has never been easier to paint a horse on canvas using acrylic paint and an art kit than today. What's more, you don't need to be a professional artist to do so. You can depict a horse team, a Mustang, or even a stud farm.

An animal represented through artworks' history

Many famous paintings involve a wild horse in a neigh or horseback riding. This animal, especially the stallion, is a universal symbol of unrestrained freedom.

Horseback riding helps people experience freedom from the restrictions they impose upon themselves. Among the most famous artworks are The Headless Horseman, Lady Godiva, Napoleon Crossing the Alps on Horseback, and The Fall of the Cowboy.

You don't need much to paint a horse, just a canvas, a brush, and an acrylic paint pot with earthy colors and tones.

How do you paint one? It depends on whether you want to depict the horse by itself, still, or sleeping. A foal in a trot or gallop, with or without a rider, is also possible—a painter to draw a stable and a stall or even the horse's groom.

This is because there is a numbered area for every part of the picture indicating the color to use. With each location assigned a number, budding artists can master an animal they want.

If you cannot think of any specific animal, the cow painting kit can be a good choice and also comes with a unique paint set and a pattern or template.
