Difficulty level : Advanced
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.
The Scream by Edvard Munch paint by numbers kit
A figure with a distorted face presses its hands to its cheeks, mouth wide open. Behind it, a wooden bridge with a railing runs diagonally across the canvas, with dark water swirling below and two figures further along the walkway. The sky ripples in red and orange bands. Red, orange, dark blue, black, pale yellow and brown carry the whole design, so the contrast between the warm sky and the dark bridge is easy to follow once the numbers are filled in. The kit reproduces this Norwegian expressionist work on a printed canvas, with numbered acrylic paint and three brushes.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky. The red and orange bands cover a large area at the top of the canvas, and the wide brush fills them quickly. Move on to the dark water and the wooden bridge with the medium brush, which handles the dark blue and brown shades. Keep the fine brush for last: it is the one for the open mouth, the outline of the face and the two distant figures. The kit is rated intermediate because of these small areas. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. From 40x40 cm upwards, the facial features have enough room to stay clear.

Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 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 linen canvas arrives with the outlines and numbers of the face, the rippling sky and the bridge already printed.
Paint:The acrylic pots are ready to use and cover the red, orange, dark blue, black, pale yellow and brown of the design. You choose 24, 36 or 48 colours.
Brushes:Three brushes: the wide one for the sky, the medium one for the water and bridge, the fine one for the face and the two figures.
Guide:The paper guide helps you check the numbers for the red sky and the swirling dark water.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for The Scream?
Square sizes such as 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm suit this composition. The kit goes from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. From 40x40 cm upwards, the face, the mouth and the two distant figures have enough room for the fine brush.
Are the curves of the sky and water difficult to paint?
The wavy bands of the sky and water are broad zones, so the wide and medium brushes follow them easily. The fine brush is for the narrow areas around the face, the open mouth and the two distant figures.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
This is an intermediate kit. It suits people who like expressionist art and are comfortable with some fine details. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.
Should I pick 24, 36 or 48 colours?
The kit comes with 24, 36 or 48 numbered acrylic colours, depending on the option. The sky blends red, orange and pale yellow, so a higher count gives more shades for these bands. 24 colours keeps the numbering simpler on small sizes.
