A seaplane paint by numbers of a mountain lake
This paint by numbers for adults shows a floatplane that has just landed on a mountain lake. White foam still marks the surface around the floats. Behind the turquoise water, a forest of fir-green conifers lines the shore. Higher up, snowy peaks stand out against a blue sky crossed by white and grey clouds. The square format keeps the seaplane in the centre and leaves plenty of room for the reflections. The line is precise and the colour areas are numerous. The kit contains the printed canvas with numbered outlines, acrylic paint pots, three brushes and the control sheet.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky and the clouds, then work your way down to the mountains. Keep the whites of the peaks and the foam for the end, they act as reference points. The reflections on the water need the most attention: paint them in horizontal bands, without mixing two neighbouring shades. Turquoise and fir green meet on the shore, so clean the brush between each area. For the detail of the floats and the fir trees, choose 40x40 cm or larger with 36 colours.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What is in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the seaplane, the snowy mountains and the turquoise lake.
Paint:The numbered pots cover the turquoise, sky blue, fir green, white and stone grey of the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the reflections on the water and the foam, the broad one for the mountains and the sky.
Guide:The paper sheet lets you check the numbers of the areas for the sky, the forest and the floats.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the mountain lake 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 finished picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this seaplane on a lake?
The detail is high: floats, fir trees, reflections. Take 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm to keep the areas paintable. The 30x30 cm works if you are happy with smaller flat areas on the mountains.
Are the reflections on the water difficult to paint?
They take patience. The turquoise and sky blue bands are narrow and follow one another. Paint them horizontally, one band at a time, letting each dry before starting the next.
Who is this seaplane paint by numbers kit for?
For fans of aviation and mountain landscapes. The subject also appeals to those who have already painted lake scenes. The complete kit with brushes and sheet makes a gift with no materials to buy.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Paint the sky and clouds first, then work down to the mountains. Keep the whites of the peaks and the foam for the end. On the water, work the reflections in horizontal bands without mixing two neighbouring shades. The paper sheet lets you check the numbers of the areas.
Which paint is suitable for a beginner?
This kit provides ready-to-use numbered acrylic pots and three brushes. Follow the order on the sheet: sky, mountains, then water. Clean the brush between the turquoise and the fir green on the shore. For the floats and fir trees, take 40x40 cm or larger with 36 colours.
