Overview

Take your dream horses to a new level! There's no reason to feel intimidated by complex horse anatomy with this guided coloring book for children and adults, featuring original fine art by the author. Two original photographs, two line drawings, and eighteen paintings are adapted for more detailed, creative, and imaginative coloring. Nine works are in varying shades of gray scale, where shading is included as guidance for defining the horse's anatomy, which can be quite perplexing for some artists. In these pictures, the shading helps take the guesswork out of muscle and skeletal definition, as well as perspective and background dimension. Just coloring the shaded areas dark, and the white areas light, no matter the color, will help the horse and background to look right and have a more three dimensional quality. Other pages are designed to be more abstract and open to the artist's interpretation, with shading present in some to encourage depth and dimension, where emphasis is on creative design more than anatomical form. This coloring book differs from most others in that the images are printed with lighter, finer lines than most. This allows the coloring artist's work to be more prominent than the black lines in the finished work. However, if you prefer to color within heavy, dark lines, then this book may not suit your needs. I do have several traditional black and white pictures with heavier lines available at my Etsy shop, where you can download individual pages plus new pages as they are created at: etsy.com/shop/StillHorseArt Backs of all coloring pages are blank. Will support crayon, colored pencils, pastels, and markers. The author recommends fine pointed coloring implements and twistable fine point crayons for the most detailed results. Includes eight pages of basic drawing demonstrations and blank pages for practice. **The author requests reviews so she can make needed changes in the next edition!
