Felucca on the Nile at Sunset Paint by Numbers

Paint this felucca on the Nile at sunset by numbers

This paint by numbers for adults shows a triangular lateen sail gliding over calm water. The sky shifts from orange to deep blue above the banks. On the shore, palm trees stand out in brown and ochre. The low sun casts a golden band across the river, with reflections that follow the current. The square format frames the scene without leaving empty space. The areas are medium sized: the graded sky, the water and the sail need a little care, while the banks fill in quickly. The kit contains the printed canvas with numbers, the acrylic paint pots, three brushes and the control sheet.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky, from deep blue at the top towards orange near the horizon, so you can manage the gradient before the details. Then paint the sun disc and the golden band on the water, followed by the lateen sail, which needs a steady hand along the edges. Save the palm trees and banks for last: they are brown and ochre areas that are easy to fill. A 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm size suits the medium level of detail, with reflections that stay clear.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, 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 of the felucca, the Nile and the palm trees to guide each area.
• Paint:The numbered pots cover the orange, ochre, deep blue, gold and brown of the sky and water.
• Brushes:The fine brush is for the golden reflections on the water, the medium for the palm trees, the broad for the orange sky.
• Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers for the graded sky and the banks.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas of the felucca on the Nile at sunset. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
