Fantasy River and Sun Paint by Numbers

Fantasy River and Sun Paint by Numbers Kit: mountains under a giant sun

The river runs between mountain peaks beneath a giant sun. The sun sits at the centre of the canvas, behind the peaks, and throws orange reflections onto the water. On the banks, autumn trees with red and yellow leaves surround dark rocks. The sky mixes deep blue and black and holds a few planets in its upper areas. Five colour families carry the picture: orange, red, yellow, blue and black. The portrait format stretches the mountains upwards and keeps the sun as the focal point. Each numbered area matches a paint pot in the kit. The autumn palette places it in our autumn paint by numbers range, and you can find more imaginary scenery in fantasy paint by numbers.

Tips for painting this design

This fantasy river and sun paint by numbers kit is rated advanced because of its many fine details. Start with the blue and black sky, then the mountains, so the edges stay clean around the sun. Paint the sun in yellow and orange before the trees, because its outline touches the peaks. Leave the rocks and reflections until last: they hold the smallest blocks of colour. Use the fine brush for the planets and branches. At 40x50 cm or larger, the reflections are easier to paint without straining your eyes. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, 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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the giant sun, the river and the mountains.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots hold the orange, black, blue, red and yellow used for the sky, planets and autumn trees.
• Brushes:The fine brush handles the reflections in the water and the outlines of the rocks, while the medium and wide brushes cover the sky and mountains.
• Guide:The printed paper guide helps you find each number on the sun, the river and the shaded areas.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble holds the printed canvas taut, so you paint the landscape without creases. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
