iWhat does this level mean?
- 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.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
A Dora and Boots at the Flag Castle paint by numbers to paint yourself
Dora and Boots stand on a green lawn in front of a large yellow castle with turrets, white clouds behind them and coloured flags on the towers. This Dora and Boots at the Flag Castle paint by numbers prints the cartoon scene on linen canvas with outlines and numbers, so you match each pot to a shape rather than drawing freehand. Pink, orange, yellow, blue, green and purple carry the picture. Dora's purple backpack, red boots and flower bracelet hold the tightest areas. The kit arrives with the printed linen canvas, numbered acrylic pots, three brushes and a paper chart. Choose 24, 36 or 48 colours and a size from 15x15 cm to 70x80 cm; the design sits in our Dora the Explorer paint by numbers range.
Other cartoon licences sit in our heroes and licences paint by numbers collection.
Tips for painting this design
Cover the blue sky and the white clouds first, where the wide brush spreads paint fast across the background. Move on to the yellow castle and its turrets, then paint Dora and Boots. The purple backpack, the red boots and the flags need the fine brush, and each colour change sits against another, so let one shape dry before you touch its neighbour. A 40x40 cm canvas or larger keeps the character details readable. Expect around 12 to 30 hours of painting, depending on the size you pick.
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 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers for the yellow castle, Dora, Boots and the green lawn.
Paint:Numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, mixed for the pink, orange, yellow, blue, green and purple in the scene.
Brushes:Three brushes: fine for the coloured flags and the flower bracelet, medium for the two characters, wide for the blue sky.
Guide:The paper reference chart lets you check the numbers for the castle walls, the sky and the white clouds.
Optional:Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas; without them it arrives rolled in a tube.
Without frame
We send the canvas rolled in a tube. Unroll it and paint it flat on a table, then frame it later if you want it on a wall.
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 to see the details of Dora and Boots?
Pick 40x40 cm or larger. Below that, the flower bracelet, the purple backpack and the faces of Dora and Boots shrink into shapes too small for the fine brush. A bigger canvas also leaves room for the castle turrets and the flags to stay crisp.
Are the castle areas difficult to paint?
The turrets and flags hold small shapes packed next to each other, so they take patience. Use the fine brush, load it lightly and work slowly along the edges. Paint the blue sky and the yellow walls first, then return to the flags once the surrounding paint is dry.
How many colours do I need for the castle scene?
The design leans on pink, orange, yellow, blue, green and purple. Take 24 colours for a flat, poster-like finish, 36 for smoother shading across the sky and the green lawn, or 48 where neighbouring shapes need close shades so the castle walls stay distinct.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
This model sits at intermediate level. The sky and the lawn suit less experienced painters, while the backpack, the bracelet and the flags ask for an adult hand or an older child. Adults who watched the series use it as a weekend project.
