- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.

Ariel and her baby paint by numbers: a sunset mother and child scene
Ariel holds her baby against a sunset sky. She has long red hair, a purple bodice and a white flower in her hair, and Melody wears a pink dress and smiles. Behind them the sea melts into pastel clouds, and light butterflies float around the two figures. Pink dominates the upper sky, while blue and purple fill the lower sky and the water. The cartoon outlines are crisp, with broad flat areas on the clouds and tighter ones on the faces and hair.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky and the sea. The blue and pink flat areas go on quickly with the wide brush. Keep the faces, the red hair and the pink dress for the end, using the fine brush. The butterflies need precision, so paint them last, one colour at a time. The 40x40 cm size suits the square framing. Larger sizes give the clouds more gradient but add working time, from around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. If you like other characters, see our Disney paint by numbers collection.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this Ariel picture?
The 40x40 cm keeps the square framing of the design and stays clear on the faces. The 30x40 cm suits beginners. The 50x70 cm or 60x80 cm give more gradient in the clouds.
Are the details difficult to paint?
The level is intermediate. The clouds and the sea are painted in broad flat areas. The tight areas are Ariel's hair, the white flower and the butterflies. The paper guide helps you find each number.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
For a fan of The Little Mermaid or Disney in general, child or adult. The mother and child design also works as a new baby gift or for Mother's Day.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the sky and the sea using the blue and pink flat areas with the large brush. Keep the faces, the red hair and the pink dress for the end, then the butterflies last, one colour at a time.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The flat areas of the sky and the sea are quick to paint. The faces, hair and butterflies call for the fine brush. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.
