Gorjuss Sandcastle on the Beach Paint by Numbers

Gorjuss Sandcastle on the Beach paint by numbers kit

A blonde Gorjuss girl stands on a tropical beach beside her sandcastle. Long hair falls past a wide red sun hat, her swimsuit runs in pink and orange stripes, and a red bucket and spade wait at her feet. Behind her sit green palms, a blue sea with white wave crests and a round yellow sun. Yellow, blue, pink, orange and green carry the picture. The sand, sky and sun are broad blocks for the wide brush; the black eyes, the hat brim and the stripes call for the fine one. Everything arrives printed on linen canvas with numbered acrylic pots and three brushes. The shoreline links it to our beach and sea paint by numbers collection, and more characters sit in our Gorjuss paint by numbers range.

Tips for painting this design

Block in the sky, sun and sand first with the wide brush, one number at a time. Those areas cover most of the canvas, so the scene takes shape in the first session. Move to the sea and the palm fronds with the medium brush, then leave the girl for last. Her eyes are a few black touches; rinse the fine brush between the pink and orange stripes to keep them crisp. The acrylics are ready to use, so load straight from the pot and close it before the next area. Paint the pale yellow sand and the pink swimsuit under a bright lamp, since the two tones sit close on the printed linen.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 9 sizes, from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. The drawing is square, so 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm keeps the scene as composed. Pick 24, 36 or 48 colours, rolled canvas or a wooden frame to assemble, which holds the linen taut while you fill the sand. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.

What is in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen carries the outlines and numbers for the girl, the sandcastle, the palms and the sun.
• Paint:The numbered acrylics include the yellow of the sun, the blue of the sea, the pink of the swimsuit and the green of the palms.
• Brushes:Fine for the eyes and hat brim, medium for the stripes and palm fronds, wide for the sky and sand.
• Guide:The paper guide helps you check the numbers on the red hat and the bucket.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble is stretched before you paint, so the linen holds firm. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
