Coloriage Cheval (3 sur 4)

Horses come in many colors - a rich Châtaigne, a deep bay, a soft dapple grey, or a clean white - so you have real freedom here. Deepening the legs and the lower body a shade and letting the mane fall darker than the coat gives the animal depth. A little shine along the muscles brings out the strength. Color it as you like.

À propos du Cheval

Horses have walked alongside people for thousands of years, carrying riders and loads, working the fields and running in races, and few animals have been such steady partners through human history. Powerful yet graceful, with a long flowing mane and tail, the Cheval is built for speed and endurance, and it forms close, trusting bonds with the people who care for it.

In Japan the Cheval has been honored as a sacred animal - the votive ema tablets at shrines take their name and origin from offerings of horses - and the word for things going smoothly, umaku iku, echoes its name, so the Cheval carries a bright sense of forward motion and good fortune. As one of the twelve zodiac signs it is familiar to every generation, which makes it an encouraging subject to color.

For coloring, the Cheval offers wide freedom of color, from Châtaigne to grey to white, and the flowing mane and tail give long, sweeping lines that are satisfying to follow. Shading the muscles to bring out their strength is good, gentle practice in light and shade, and the bold, spirited result makes a hopeful page to keep or display.
