Pocahontas and Baby in the Clouds Paint by Numbers

Pocahontas and Baby in the Clouds paint by numbers: a pink sunset sky

Pocahontas holds a baby against her shoulder, eyes closed, in a sky of clouds at sunset. The sun sits at the centre of a pink, orange and purple background. She wears a feather in her hair, a turquoise necklace and a fringed brown dress. Pale swirls of cloud wrap around the two figures. The square format gives the sky as much room as the characters, and the pink and orange areas blend with no sharp line between them. It is a cartoon-style design at intermediate level, with mostly medium areas and a few fine details.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sun and the edges of the clouds. These are the largest flat areas and they set the light of the painting straight away. Leave the faces and the turquoise necklace until the end, once your hand has warmed up, as the lines are tighter there. The pink, orange and purple shades look similar on the chart, so check the number on the canvas before opening each pot. The 40x40 cm size suits the square format well. Choose 50x70 cm if you want to paint the feathers and fringes without forcing the fine brush. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. If you enjoy this style, our Disney paint by numbers range has more characters to paint, and the sunset paint by numbers collection is worth a look for similar skies.

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's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows Pocahontas, the baby, the clouds and the setting sun with numbers to guide each area.
• Paint:The acrylic pots contain the pink, orange, brown, purple and white seen in the sky and the characters.
• Brushes:The fine brush is for the details of the face and the feather, the medium for the clouds, the large for the sun and the dress.
• Guide:The paper chart shows the design so you can check the numbers of areas such as the turquoise necklace and the fringes.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas before painting the twilight sky and the characters. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
