Stormy Lighthouse on the Rocks Paint by Numbers
Our stormy lighthouse on the rocks paint by numbers kit places a red and white striped tower on dark jagged rock, with foam breaking around the base and heavy grey cloud across the sky. The finish is impressionist: short, layered strokes in the sea and cloud, with softer edges than a photographic scene.

iWhat does this level mean?
- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
Stormy Lighthouse on the Rocks Paint by Numbers
This stormy lighthouse on the rocks paint by numbers scene sets a red and white striped tower on a cliff of dark jagged rock. White foam breaks against the stone, heavy grey cloud presses down from above, and the lantern room sits small at the top of the tower. Slate grey and deep navy carry most of the sky and water, crimson red and foam white mark the bands and the wave crests, and charcoal brown weights the foreground rocks. The style is impressionist, with medium areas to fill and some fine detail, and the brush marks stay visible where the colours meet. We rate it intermediate. Twelve sizes run from 15x15 cm to 70x80 cm: the small ones turn the waves into blocks of colour, the large ones leave room for the foam. It suits a hallway or a room with a sea view, and it makes a gift for someone who walks the coast path in winter.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the sky: lay slate grey and deep navy in thin, even coats and let them dry before you go near the tower. Paint the red and white bands next with the fine brush, working along the straight edges so they stay crisp against the storm behind. Keep the medium brush for the rocks, where charcoal brown goes down in loose strokes. Use the wide brush for open water and broad cloud. Leave the foam and the brightest crests until last and keep those coats thin so the white stays clean. A 36 or 48 colour set separates the greys of sky from the blues of sea without constant mixing.

Questions about this design
How long does the stormy lighthouse on the rocks paint by numbers kit take to finish?
Around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you pick. A 15x15 or 20x30 cm canvas is a couple of evenings; 50x70 or 60x80 cm gives the rocks and the breaking waves far more room and takes several sessions. One colour block at a time keeps the pace steady.
Which size shows the lantern room and the foam best?
40x50 or 50x70 cm. The lantern room is the smallest detail on the canvas, and the white foam needs space to read as spray. Below 30x40 cm the waves become blocks of colour and the tower bands lose some sharpness, which can suit a quicker, simpler finish.
Do I need the 48 colour option for this stormy lighthouse on the rocks paint by numbers kit?
The 24 colour set covers the five main tones and finishes the scene. The 36 and 48 options add extra greys and blues, which help separate the storm cloud from the sea without you mixing every shade. If you want the sky to sit apart from the water, take 48.
How do I keep the white foam clean against the dark sea?
Paint the water first and let it dry fully, then lay the foam and wave crests in thin coats with the fine brush. Thin paint keeps the white bright; a thick layer picked up from a wet blue edge turns grey. Work from the top of each wave downwards.
