Difficulty level : Beginner
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.
Dora and Boots Pirate Ship Paint by Numbers: the scene you fill in
Dora stands on the wooden deck in her red polka dot bandana, treasure map in hand, and Boots waits beside her. A chest of gold coins sits in the foreground, a sail marked with a skull hangs overhead, and behind them the sea runs out to palm trees on an island under a smiling sun. Brown planks, blue water, yellow coins and touches of pink, orange and red split the picture into clear blocks of colour. Faces, the map and the dots ask for a small brush; the sea and the sky stay wide open. We rate the detail intermediate. The nautical setting puts it alongside our boats and seascape paint by numbers.
Tips for painting this design
Paint the blue of the sea and the sky first, then the brown of the deck, and keep Dora and Boots for last so the background has dried when you outline them. The fine brush handles the bandana dots and the lines of the treasure map; the wide brush covers open water in a few strokes. Pick 40x40 cm or larger to keep the numbers on the map and the skull readable. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.

Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit with 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 carries the outlines and numbers of the ship, the sail and both characters.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and cover the brown deck, the blue sea and the gold coins.
Brushes:Three brushes, fine, medium and wide, so the bandana dots and the map get their own tip.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers on the sails and the chest.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas before you start. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
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.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this design?
Go for 40x40 cm or larger if you want the treasure map lines and the skull on the sail to stay readable while you paint them. The 20x30 cm sizes work for a short session with a child who wants the characters and the chest, with less background detail.
Is this scene hard for a beginner?
We rate it intermediate. The sea, the sky and the deck are broad areas that forgive a slightly wobbly edge. The fine work sits in small spots: the bandana dots, the sun's face, the lines of the map. Paint those last, once the background is dry.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
It works as a birthday present for a child who watches Dora the Explorer and has already finished one kit, or as a shared holiday project where an adult takes the fine details and a child fills the blue. We dispatch within 48 hours.
