A floating lanterns paint by numbers kit for a night scene on the water
Glowing square lanterns drift on a blue river while cylindrical lanterns rise towards a sky of purple and black stars. Dark hills and tree silhouettes frame the waterway, and orange and yellow reflections stretch across the surface. The outlines and numbers are printed on the linen canvas, so you match each numbered acrylic pot to its area. The square format keeps the composition centred on the river. Warm lights against a dark background make this a good gift for someone who likes night scenes.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the purple and black sky at the top to set the background, then paint the dark hills and trees with the wide brush. Finish with the orange and yellow lanterns and their reflections. In this floating lanterns paint by numbers kit, the fine brush handles the stars and the small lantern shapes. A 40x40 cm size or larger keeps these details easy to follow. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size, and choose 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option.

Questions about this design
Which size keeps the square composition of the floating lanterns design?
The square sizes keep the centred composition: 15x15, 30x30, 40x40 and 50x50 cm. Rectangular sizes from 15x20 to 70x80 cm change the framing of the sky and river. Choose 40x40 cm or larger if you want the stars and reflections to stay easy to follow.
Are the stars and lantern reflections difficult to paint?
They sit in small areas, so you paint them with the fine brush supplied in the kit. Work the sky and dark hills first, then add the orange and yellow lanterns last. A 30x30 cm size or larger gives you more room around these small shapes.
How long does this kit take to paint?
Allow around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you choose. The smallest canvas is 15x15 cm and the largest is 70x80 cm. You can stop between colour areas and pick up later, since each area is numbered on the canvas.
Does the kit come with a frame?
You choose between a rolled canvas without frame and a wooden frame to assemble. The kit also includes numbered acrylic paints, three brushes (fine, medium and wide) and a canvas with outlines and numbers printed. We dispatch within 48 hours.
