- 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.

A spinosaurus paint by numbers picture to paint yourself
A spinosaurus crosses a muddy marsh at dusk. This paint by numbers for adults shows the animal in profile, its dorsal sail raised above the water. The sky shifts from sunset orange to dark blue-violet. Reeds and rushes line the bank, with dead branches submerged in the water. Reflections of the sky stretch across the brown water. In the distance, silhouettes of trees close the horizon. The square format centres the dinosaur. The dominant shades are orange, marsh green, brown and light beige. The level of detail is high: scales, vegetation and reflections all call for precision.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the orange sky and the blue-violet, the two largest areas. Then paint the water and its reflections, following the numbers to keep the transitions sharp. The dorsal sail and the spinosaurus's head need care: use the fine brush for the scales and outlines. Save the reeds and branches for the end, with the medium brush. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger to bring out the detail in the vegetation and water.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the spinosaurus, the muddy water, the reeds and the twilight sky.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the sunset orange, marsh green, muddy brown, dark blue-violet and light beige of the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the reeds and reflections, the medium for the spinosaurus's sail, the broad for the sky and water.
Guide:The paper guide helps you check the numbers on the tree silhouettes, the submerged branches and the dorsal sail.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the marsh at dusk 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 picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this spinosaurus?
40x50 cm suits the level of detail: the sail, scales and reeds stay clear. 30x40 cm works if you are a beginner, but the reflections on the water will be harder to make out.
Are the marsh details difficult to paint?
The reeds, submerged branches and reflections call for precision. Use the fine brush and take your time on these areas. The rest of the picture is painted in broader flat areas.
Who is this painting kit a good gift for?
Dinosaur fans and anyone who enjoys realistic painting, teenagers or adults. The square format and the subject make it a gift for someone who likes prehistoric animals and sunset landscapes.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the orange sky and the blue-violet first, the largest areas. Then follow the water and its reflections, keeping to the numbers. Save the dorsal sail and the spinosaurus's head for the fine brush, then finish the reeds and branches with the medium brush. The paper guide helps you check the numbers for each area.
What are the standard sizes for a picture?
This kit offers sizes from 15x15 to 70x80 cm, including 40x50 cm and 40x60 cm. To bring out the detail in the marsh vegetation and water, choose 40x50 cm or larger. The canvas is rolled in a tube or mounted on a frame, depending on the option.
