The Bob Marley smiling in the sun paint by numbers
The Bob Marley smiling in the sun paint by numbers shows the singer facing forward, eyes half closed, beard and moustache drawn in outline. His dreadlocks flow to the right against a yellow and orange sky. A large round sun fills the background behind his head. The collar of his shirt is open, in green and red. The main colours are yellow, orange, green and red, with browns and blacks for the face and hair. The illustration is stylised, not a photo. The setting is limited to a sunny sky. The level of detail is medium, on a square canvas.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large sun and the sky, in yellow then orange, to lay down the flat background areas. Then move on to the green and red of the collar, followed by the browns of the face. The dreadlocks need care: follow the printed outlines and keep a fine brush for the strands. The smile and half closed eyes are painted last, with the blacks and dark browns. Choose a 30x30 cm size or larger to keep the facial features clear.
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 around 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 Bob Marley portrait, from the large sun to the open collar.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the yellow, orange, green, red, brown and black of the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the half closed eyes and the beard, the broad one for the bright sky and the sun.
Guide:The paper guide to the design lets you check the numbers for the dreadlocks in the wind and the warm smile.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas of the Bob Marley portrait.
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 Bob Marley picture?
The picture is square. A 30x30 cm works well for a first try, while a 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm makes the face and dreadlocks easier to follow. The small 15x15 cm sizes cramp the features too much.
Are the facial details difficult to paint?
The level is medium. The sky and sun areas are large. The beard, moustache and half closed eyes need a fine brush and a little patience. The paper guide helps you check the colours.
Who is this Bob Marley paint by numbers kit for?
For a reggae or Bob Marley fan, or for anyone who likes illustrated portraits in bright colours. The kit contains the printed canvas, the numbered paint pots and three brushes. Allow around 12 to 30 h of painting depending on the size.
How do I start a paint by numbers?
Start with the large sun and the sky, in yellow then orange, to lay down the flat background areas. Then move on to the green and red of the collar, followed by the browns of the face. Keep the blacks and dark browns for the smile and half closed eyes at the end.
How do I use the paint by numbers?
Paint the areas following the numbers printed on the canvas, with the matching acrylic pots. The paper guide lets you check the numbers of the areas. Follow the order in the tips: sun and sky, collar, face, then the dreadlocks with a fine brush and the details of the smile.
