Giyu Tomioka Water Breathing Paint by Numbers

Giyu Tomioka Water Breathing paint by numbers: waves and haori on black

Giyu Tomioka stands in a fighting stance against a black background, his right hand holding a katana. Long black hair frames his face and blue eyes. His haori carries burgundy and green geometric patterns. Stylised white and blue waves wrap around him to show Water Breathing. Black, blue, white and green dominate the picture, so the pale waves stand out sharply against the dark ground. The cartoon style and the many fine details place this vertical portrait at advanced level.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the black background, which fixes the outline of the silhouette. Take the wide brush for the large dark areas and switch to the fine brush for the haori patterns and the strands of hair. The waves need clean transitions between blue and white, so apply the two colours side by side without mixing them on the canvas. Let each dark area dry before you paint the light area next to it. A finished picture takes around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. Choose 40x50 cm or larger, because the face and the haori patterns are hard to paint on a small canvas.

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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

Pick 48 colours if you want smoother shifts between blue and white in the waves. The portrait format and black background suit a narrow wall, a bedroom or a gaming corner.
