Horse Portrait Close-Up

Look a horse right in the eye with this close-up portrait coloring page. Facing slightly toward you, the horse shows off large gentle eyes, soft nostrils, two pointed ears, a forelock falling between them, and a flowing mane along the neck. Because it zooms in on the face, this page is full of detail for older kids and adults who want to practice shading and bring out a real, expressive look. Horses have some of the largest eyes of any land mammal, set on the sides of the head so they can see almost all the way around themselves. Choose a coat color, then blend lighter and darker tones across the muzzle and neck for a soft, lifelike finish, and add a small highlight to each gentle eye. Print it on US Letter or A4 and give this horse a face full of personality.
