Van Gogh Almond Blossom Paint by Numbers

A Van Gogh Almond Blossom paint by numbers kit for your wall

The canvas reproduces the flat turquoise blue sky and the gnarled brown and green branches that cross it. White flowers and pale pink buds dot the wood. The thick brushstrokes of the post-impressionist original show in the way each branch is built from separate numbered areas. No horizon or landscape sits behind the branches, so the blue stays an even background around the blossom. The square format follows the way the branches spread out.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the turquoise blue sky, the largest area, and cover it evenly with the wide brush. Move on to the green trunk and brown branches, then finish with the white flowers and pale pink buds at the branch tips. These small areas need the fine brush. The kit is intermediate level, with medium areas and some fine details. A square size of 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm spaces the numbers out and makes the petals easier to reach. Let each layer dry before painting the areas next to it. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.

You choose 24, 36 or 48 numbered acrylic colours. The larger palettes give you more shades for the petals and the branch wood. The blue and white palette suits a bright room, and the finished square canvas makes a gift for anyone who likes Van Gogh.
