Paint by numbers of a cowboy crossing the river with his herd
This paint by numbers for adults shows a rider crossing a shallow river, followed by a herd of cattle. The horse moves through the water, the cowboy wears a wide brimmed hat and a lasso at his belt. The splashes around the hooves create light areas to fill. The setting is made of arid plains, with a clear sky above. The main colours are earth brown, the turquoise blue of the water, the golden ochre of dry grasses, olive green and sandy beige. The square format keeps the rider in the centre and shows the spread of the plains on either side.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky and the river, two large areas with the medium brush. The turquoise blue of the water needs care: keep the same pots for the reflections and the light splashes. Then paint the plains in ochre and beige, then the herd in earth brown. Save the cowboy and the horse for the end, as their outlines are tighter. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger to make out the cattle in the background.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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 carries the outlines of the cowboy on horseback and the herd crossing the shallow river.
Paint:The acrylic pots cover the earth brown, turquoise blue, golden ochre, olive green and sandy beige of the arid plains.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the water splashes and the lasso, the medium for the hat, the large for the sky and the river.
Guide:The paper chart lets you check the numbers for the cattle, the rider and the river areas.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas of the cowboy and herd before you paint. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this western painting?
40x50 cm works well to see the herd and the splashes without losing detail. 30x30 cm is still possible for a small space, but the cattle in the background become smaller to paint.
Are the details of the cowboy and horse difficult?
The level is medium. The horse and cowboy form a central area with clear outlines, with the hat and lasso to pick out. Use a fine brush and work in small squares to keep the lines of the face and reins.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits fans of the Wild West and American landscapes, teenagers and adults alike. The kit contains the printed canvas, numbered pots, three brushes and the check chart, which is enough to start with no other materials.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Paint the large areas of sky and river with the medium brush, then the plains in ochre and beige, the herd in earth brown. Save the cowboy and horse for the end, as the outlines are tighter. The paper chart lets you check the numbers of the areas.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The difficulty is medium. The sky and river are painted with the medium brush, and the turquoise blue of the water needs care for the reflections. The cowboy and horse have tighter outlines. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger to make out the cattle in the background.
