Horse Galloping Through An Open Meadow Coloring Page
A horse at full stride in clean side view, one foreleg folded and tail streaming out, with only tufts of meadow grass at its hooves.

Caught mid stride, this horse runs to the right with three legs reaching and the near foreleg folded up under the chest. The mouth is open a little, the way a horse's is when it is working hard. Short spiky hair stands up along the crest of the neck and a matching tuft falls between the ears.
The tail is the longest thing on the page. It lifts away from the hindquarters and trails back in a wide sheet of parallel strokes that almost reaches the far edge.
What makes this sheet easy is how little sits inside the outline. One curve suggests the shoulder, another the muscle of a hind leg, and that is all. The whole body is a single clean shape you can fill in one direction without stopping.
There is no landscape behind the horse at all. The ground amounts to loose clumps of grass, drawn as small groups of upright ticks and scattered along the bottom. Above the line of the back, the paper is left completely white.
That empty space is worth using. A wash of sky color behind the horse, or nothing whatsoever, will each look deliberate here rather than unfinished.
