Snowman with Red Scarf Paint by Numbers

Snowman with red scarf paint by numbers: a winter garden scene

Three white balls of snow make up the snowman. He wears a black top hat and a red knitted scarf, and his orange carrot nose sits above blue buttons on his chest. Branches form his arms. Behind him, a snow-covered wooden fence separates the foreground from bare trees and fir trees. White ground fills a large part of the canvas, so the picture feels calm and bright. The main colours are white, blue, red, black, orange and brown. It belongs to our Christmas paint by numbers collection, and the winter setting suits a hallway or living room at the holidays.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the background: the fir trees, the bare trees and the sky. Then paint the wooden fence and the snow on the ground. Finish with the snowman. The red scarf and black hat need precise outlines. Use the fine brush for the blue buttons and the orange nose. The 40x40 cm size or larger makes these areas easier to work on. White covers a large area, so apply it in even coats to stop the numbers showing through the paint.

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's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers for the snowman's three balls, his black hat and his red scarf.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the white of the snow, the blue of the buttons, the red of the scarf, the black of the hat, the orange of the carrot and the brown of the fence.
• Brushes:The fine brush is for details such as the carrot nose and blue buttons, the medium brush for the branches and scarf, and the large brush for the areas of snow.
• Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers on the balls, the hat, the scarf and the snowy wooden fence.
• Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas of the winter garden with the snowman and trees. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
