French Bulldog Blowing Hearts Paint by Numbers

A French bulldog blowing hearts paint by numbers kit in brown, blue and red

The dog is dark brown with pricked ears and its head turned backwards, as if checking the result of its own joke. A stream of red hearts runs diagonally behind it towards the top of the picture and fills the left corner. The dog sits right of centre. The background is a blue gradient from light blue to midnight blue, with a deeper blue floor. In the fur you will use several browns and black. The hearts are solid red, so you can paint them without any blending. This design belongs to our funny paint by numbers range, and if you want other breeds you can browse our dog paint by numbers designs. The design is square, and the size options below let you choose how large it hangs.

Tips for painting this design

The level is intermediate. Most areas are medium-sized, and the fine details are limited to the muzzle, the folds of the forehead, the eyes and the outline of the ears. Start with the blue background: it uses three shades, applied from light to dark and from top to bottom. Next come the red hearts, which need two coats to cover the white of the canvas. Paint the fur in blocks of brown and black, with no fine blending. Keep the muzzle and the folds of the face for the end, then use the fine brush for the eyes and the ears. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose. A square size such as 20x20, 40x40 or 50x50 cm keeps the original framing of the picture.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x20 to 50x60 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:Linen canvas with the outlines and numbers already printed, showing the brown bulldog, the red hearts and the blue floor.
• Paint:Ready-to-use numbered acrylic pots in blue, black, brown and red. You get 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option you pick.
• Brushes:Three brushes (fine, medium and wide). The wide one covers the blue background, the fine one handles the eyes and the ear outlines.
• Guide:A paper design sheet to check the numbers of the bulldog, heart and floor areas as you go.
