Surprised kitten and mouse paint by numbers kit: a cartoon tabby to paint
A tabby and white kitten leaps backwards as a spring-loaded mouse shoots out of a wooden box. You paint its open mouth, its front paws tucked against its body and the metal spring bursting from the box. The wooden table runs along the bottom of the picture. Behind it, a dark, misty background carries a scattering of light particles. The palette is brown, white, grey, beige and a little green, and the crisp outlines make each flat area easy to spot.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the wooden box and the spring, which hold the smallest and tightest areas. Move on to the kitten's body, and keep the white and beige pots for the paws and muzzle. The dark background goes on last with the wide brush, and you do not need to copy every light particle. The 30x40 cm and 40x40 cm sizes give enough room for this level of detail. Choose 40x50 cm if you want more space on the kitten's face.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this surprised kitten?
There are 12 sizes, from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. A 30x40 cm or 40x40 cm canvas gives enough room for the box, the spring and the kitten's face. Choose 40x50 cm for more space on the face. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
Is the kitten's face hard to paint?
It needs some care. The eyes, nose and open mouth sit close together, which is why we class the kit as intermediate. The fine brush follows the small outlines and the medium brush covers the fur. The dark background is made of wide areas and goes quickly.
Who is this picture a good gift for?
It suits a cat lover or anyone who enjoys cartoon humour. The intermediate level fits someone who has already finished a kit. The box holds the canvas, numbered acrylic paints and three brushes, and we dispatch within 48 hours.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the wooden box and spring first, as they are the smallest, tightest areas. Carry on with the kitten's body, then the paws and muzzle with the white and beige. Finish with the dark background using the wide brush. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of each area.
