- 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.

Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
Paint by numbers a desert oasis with palm trees and pyramids
Palm trees standing at the edge of a turquoise stretch of water, pyramids resting on the horizon: this paint by numbers for adults brings these three elements together on a square canvas. Beige and ochre sand fills the foreground, and the dunes overlap in soft curves. The palm trees form a vertical green line that cuts across the pale blue sky. The water reflects the trunks and part of the sky. The sky stays clear, with no clouds, across its full height. The pyramids read in the background, smaller, in tones close to the sand. The printed outline separates each area: dune, water, foliage, sky. The square format keeps the composition centred on the oasis.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the pale blue sky and the turquoise water: they are the largest surfaces and they set the light of the painting straight away. Then move on to the beige and ochre dunes, following the printed curves to keep the gradients. Keep the fine brushes for the fronds and the reflections in the water, as these are the smallest areas. The pyramids need few colours, but their outline must stay sharp. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger to paint the fronds without mixing up the numbers.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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 carries the outlines and numbers for the pyramids, palm trees, dunes and the stretch of water.
Paint:The acrylic paint pots cover the beige, ochre, green, turquoise blue and sky blue of the sky and the oasis.
Brushes:The wide brush covers the dunes and sky, the medium brush the pyramids, and the fine brush the fronds and reflections.
Guide:The printed paper guide helps you check the numbers for the palm trees, pyramids and reflections in the water.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the desert canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube.
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 finished picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this desert oasis?
40x50 cm suits the medium level of detail: the fronds and reflections stay clear. 30x30 cm is possible for a first canvas, but the foliage areas become small. 50x70 cm leaves more room for the sand gradients.
Are the palm tree details and reflections difficult to paint?
The fronds and reflections in the water need the fine brush and a little patience. The rest of the painting, sky, dunes and water, is painted in broad flat areas. The paper guide helps you find the areas before you start.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For people who like desert landscapes and scenes of Egypt. The square format and warm colours make it a gift for an adult who paints now and then, or for a first kit if the size stays small.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The level is medium. The large areas of pale blue sky and turquoise water are painted first, then the beige and ochre dunes. The fronds and reflections need the fine brushes. The paper guide is there to check the numbers of the areas, not to guide the order of painting.
What are some painting ideas to try?
This oasis with palm trees and pyramids is painted by following the numbers: pale blue sky, turquoise water, beige and ochre dunes, then fronds and reflections with the fine brush. The pyramids need few colours with a sharp outline. The kit contains the printed canvas, the numbered paint pots and three brushes.
