Buddha on a lotus paint by numbers: two colour moods on one canvas
A statue of Buddha sits in meditation on a large lotus flower. The left side of the canvas runs through yellow, orange and dark red, while the right side moves into deep blue and turquoise. Thick strokes imitate palette-knife oil painting on the golden body and the base of the flower. The water in the foreground picks up the colours of the scene. The strong orange and blue contrast gives a living room wall or a quiet corner a clear focal point.

Tips for painting this design
Start with the flat background areas and keep the blue side and the orange side separate, so the two colour fields stay clean. Cover the textured zones with the wide brush without crossing into the central figure. Then paint the lotus petals and the body of Buddha with the fine brush. Yellow and gold usually need two coats to hide the printed numbers. The face and hands hold the finest detail, and from 40x40 cm upwards those zones are large enough to paint cleanly. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size, spread over several sessions. The 48 colour option gives you more tones for the knife-style shading.
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 shows the outlines and numbers of Buddha seated on the lotus, with the background split into orange and blue areas.
Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots hold the orange, blue, yellow, gold and brown shades seen on the statue and the background.
Brushes:The three fine, medium and large brushes are for the details of the face, the lotus petals and the large areas of textured background.
Guide:The paper guide to the design lets you check the numbers for the areas of Buddha, the lotus and the reflections on the water.
Optional:The optional wooden frame to assemble keeps the canvas taut while you paint the two-tone background and the knife-style touches.
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 Buddha design?
The design is square, so 40x40 cm keeps its proportions and leaves enough room for the face and fingers. Rectangular sizes crop the side edges slightly. Sizes run from 15x15 cm to 70x80 cm, and a larger canvas takes longer: around 12 to 30 hours overall.
Is this kit suitable for beginners?
It is rated intermediate. Most zones are medium-sized, but the face, hands and lotus petals need the fine brush and a steady hand. A first-time painter can manage it by choosing a larger size and working one colour area at a time.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits adults who like Asian imagery or colourful scenes dominated by blue and orange. It makes a calm project for several evenings at home. Finished, it also works as a gift for someone who meditates or likes Zen decor.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Begin with the flat background, keeping the blue side and the orange side apart. Use the wide brush on the textured areas without going over the figure, then paint the lotus petals and the body of Buddha with the fine brush. Add a second coat on yellow and gold.
