Difficulty level : Advanced
iWhat does this level mean?
- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
A rainbow shot glasses paint by numbers set out on a bar
Six shot glasses sit at the centre of the painting, lined up on a dark wooden bar counter. Each glass holds a different layer of colour, from red through to violet, and the light passes through the liquid. This rainbow shot glasses paint by numbers reproduces those reflections on the glass and on the wet wood. The background stays blurred: golden and blue lights can be made out behind the bottles. The contrast between the almost black counter and the coloured drinks shapes the whole composition. The portrait format plays up the upright glasses and the depth of the bar.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the flat areas of the drinks, from red to violet, to lay down the colours without mixing. Then tackle the dark wooden counter: two or three shades of brown are enough, but the vertical reflections under each glass need a fine brush. Leave the blurred lights of the background until last, as they are done with small touches. The detail level is high: choose a 40x50 cm size or larger so the outlines of the glasses do not feel cramped.
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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What the kit contains
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the six shot glasses and the dark counter.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet of the layered drinks.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the bright reflections on the glasses, the medium for the layers, the large for the wooden bar.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers for the glasses and the blurred background lights.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the dark bar canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube.
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 shot glasses painting?
The 40x50 cm size suits the level of detail in the glasses and reflections. Below 30x40 cm, the outlines of the six glasses get tight and the coloured layers lose clarity.
Are the reflection details hard to paint?
The reflections on the glass and wood call for precision, especially with a fine brush. The coloured areas of the drinks stay simple. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size you choose.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
This design suits an adult who likes bars and bold colours. The kit contains the printed canvas, numbered pots, three brushes and the guide. It is dispatched within 48 hours.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Paint the flat areas of the drinks from red to violet, then the counter in brown with a fine brush for the vertical reflections. The paper guide is for checking the numbers of the areas, not the order. Leave the blurred background lights until last, in small touches.
