An African village paint by numbers with round huts
This African village paint by numbers shows round huts with thatched roofs, grouped on ochre ground. An earth path crosses the scene and leads to low hills on the horizon. The sky fills the top half of the canvas in light blue with a yellow sun. Scattered trees sit in the foreground and at the sides. The main colours are ochre, earth brown, green and sky blue. The square format leaves little empty space: every area of the design is numbered. The level of detail is medium, with fairly wide surfaces on the roofs and the sky.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the blue sky: it is the largest area and needs two coats to cover the numbers. Then paint the thatched roofs in ochre and brown, following the direction of the printed lines. Save the yellow of the sun for the end, with a fine brush, as the area is small and bordered by blue. Paint the earth path last, once dry, to avoid mixing the browns. A 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm size suits the medium level of detail.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow roughly 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the round huts, the path and the hills on the horizon.
Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots cover the ochre, sky blue, green, earth brown and yellow of the design.
Brushes:The wide brush covers the bright sky and the sun, the fine brush is for the outlines of the huts and trees.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers of the round huts and the earth path.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the village canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
With frame
Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this African village?
30x30 cm or 40x40 cm suits the medium level of detail in the design. The huts and the sky stay clear. Below 20x30 cm, the thatched roofs become too small to paint neatly.
Are the details of the round huts difficult to paint?
No. The roofs and walls form wide areas. The only parts that need care are the outlines of the doors and the sun, which you paint with the fine brush included in the kit.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
For people who like landscapes and village scenes, or who are looking for a square picture to hang. The medium level makes it suitable for a beginner adult as well as a child over ten.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Start with the blue sky, the largest area, in two coats to cover the numbers. Then paint the thatched roofs in ochre and brown, following the printed lines. Save the yellow of the sun for the end with the fine brush, then the earth path once dry.
What are the standard picture sizes?
This kit offers sizes from 15x15 to 70x80 cm, including 30x30 cm and 40x40 cm suited to the medium detail of this village. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of the areas, without giving a painting order.
