Santa finger on lips paint by numbers: a Christmas picture to paint
Santa wears a red glove and holds his index finger to his lips to say shh. He has round glasses, a full white beard and a traditional red hat. Beside him are fir branches with red holly berries, baubles and two golden bells, with a dark wooden wall clock filling the background. Red, white, green, gold and brown dominate, so the contrast between the suit, the beard and the pine needles is easy to follow. It is an intermediate kit with medium areas and some fine details, and it suits anyone who likes traditional Christmas illustration in a Christmas paint by numbers collection.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the dark shades of the clock and the background to set the contrasts. Then fill in the red of the hat and glove, followed by the green of the pine branches. Paint the white beard and the fur of the hat towards the end so dark pigments do not smudge these light areas. The 40x50 cm size in 36 colours shows the golden shine of the bells and the texture of the beard. Count on roughly 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you pick.
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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What the kit contains
Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the outlines of Santa, the holly and the clock so you can paint each area.
Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots hold the red of the hat, the white of the beard, the green of the holly and the gold of the bells.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the details of the glasses and berries, the medium for the face and the large for the background of the room.
Guide:The printed paper guide helps you find the numbers for the areas of Santa, the holly and the clock.
