- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.

A paint by numbers for adults showing African women on a savanna road, painted by hand
This African women paint by numbers shows three figures walking along a dirt road, baskets balanced on their heads. The dresses are blocks of orange, yellow and blue that stand out against the browns of the ground. Behind them the savanna stretches away with slender acacias and a few figures in the distance. The sky fills the upper half of the canvas in a gradient from pale yellow to orange. The square format keeps the figures in the centre. The printed outlines separate the colour areas clearly. Detail is medium: faces and hands are suggested by a few cells, the clothing by broad blocks of colour.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky: the yellow to orange gradient needs even strokes to avoid banding. Then paint the dirt road and the browns of the ground, followed by the acacias. Save the dresses for the end, one colour at a time, letting the orange and blue dry in between. Faces and hands cover few cells: use the fine brush and load it lightly. A 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm canvas is enough for this level of detail.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit with 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with a wooden frame to assemble or with the canvas already mounted on its frame (except in 50x70 and 60x80 cm, delivered rolled). Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers for the women in colourful dresses, the baskets and the dirt road.
Paint:The acrylic pots cover the orange, yellow, green, brown and blue of the golden sky and the savanna.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the distant figures and the details of the baskets, the medium for the dresses, the large for the sky.
Guide:The paper guide lets you check the numbers for the acacias, dresses and baskets before you paint.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas of the women on the road; otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
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 finished picture on the wall.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this picture?
30x30 cm or 40x40 cm suits the medium detail of the design. 40x40 cm leaves more room for the faces and baskets. 20x30 cm is possible but the figures become small.
Are the faces and hands difficult to paint?
They cover few cells and stay suggested. The fine brush and a light load of paint are enough. The paper guide helps you find the dark areas of the face and fingers.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
For someone who likes savanna scenes and warm colours. The medium detail suits an adult who has painted before or is patient. The square format sits easily on a living room wall or in a hallway.
How do you paint by numbers?
Start with the sky, with even strokes from yellow to orange. Carry on with the dirt road and the browns of the ground, then the acacias. Save the dresses for the end, one colour at a time, letting the orange and blue dry in between. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of the areas.
What are the standard sizes for a painting?
This kit comes in several sizes, from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. For this medium level of detail, 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm is enough. Painting time runs from around 12 to 30 h depending on the size you choose.
