White Christmas Cat Paint by Numbers

White Christmas cat paint by numbers: a cat in a wreath

A white cat with green eyes sits at the centre of a foliage wreath. It wears a red hat with a white pompom. Frosted fir branches, green leaves and scarlet poinsettia flowers surround it, with round berries and a red ribbon. Behind them, a soft winter scene falls under light snowfall. The style is a realistic illustration in portrait format, and the palette runs from sage green and bright red to pale grey.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the soft grey background to set the light. Then fill in the cat's fur with the white and grey shades, keeping inside the lines. The small red berries and green eyes need the fine brush. Most areas are medium sized, with some fine details, so allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. A 40x50 cm canvas gives you enough room for the pine needles and poinsettia petals. Our Christmas paint by numbers range has more festive designs if you want a matching set.

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 hours depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the white cat in the red hat and the numbers for the areas to paint.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the white, red, sage green and light grey of the cat and the wreath.
• Brushes:The fine brush is for the cat's whiskers and the red berries, the medium brush for the hat, the large brush for the winter background.
• Guide:The printed paper guide helps you find the numbers for the poinsettias, the red ribbon and the snowflakes.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the cat canvas before painting the hat and wreath areas. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
