White Rabbit with Roses Paint by Numbers

White rabbit with roses paint by numbers kit

A white rabbit stands in a green meadow, a tight bunch of roses held against its chest. The drawing is square and cartoon-style: a red bow tie at the neck, a small red bow on one ear, a rainbow arcing over the sky. Pale yellow, pink and white fill the background, with a few sparkles set around the rabbit. The areas are medium sized and carry no complex shading, so each colour reads straight from the number printed inside it. Outlines and numbers sit on the linen canvas, and every area takes the matching pot of ready-to-use acrylic. The level is intermediate, with around 12 to 30 hours of painting depending on the size.

Tips for painting this design

Paint the rainbow and the sky first: they are the largest areas and they set the light across the whole picture. Leave the white fur of the rabbit until last. Go round the pale grey edge of each shape with the fine brush, then fill the inside, and the white stays clean. The roses take the most patience, because every petal carries its own number and its own shade of pink or red; one rose at a time keeps it simple. The red bow tie, the ear bow and the eyes are fine-brush work. For crisp facial lines and petal edges, pick 30x40 cm or 40x40 cm. Similar petal work appears in our flower paint by numbers kits, and more spring designs sit in the Easter paint by numbers collection.

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 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the rabbit, the bouquet of roses and the rainbow, with a number sitting inside every area to paint.

• Brushes:The fine brush takes the bow tie, the ear bow, the eyes and the sparkles, the medium brush suits the fur, the wide brush the meadow and the sky.
