Haunted river boat and lantern paint by numbers: a night scene with a glowing focal point
A wooden boat floats on a winding river, and a lit lantern lights the dark water around it. Bare-branched trees line the banks. The full moon breaks through a purple and blue sky, bats cross above the water, and glowing eyes appear in the black foliage. A carved pumpkin rests near the bank. The main colours are purple, blue, orange, brown and black, with a medium level of detail. The orange lantern is the only warm light, so it becomes the focal point once the canvas is finished.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the purple and blue sky to lay the base, then paint the full moon before moving on to the black tree trunks. The lantern needs care because its surface is small. Use the fine brush for the bats and the glowing eyes in the foliage. The reflections on the water need steady strokes with the broad brush. Choose a square size such as 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm to keep the proportions of the original composition. If you enjoy dark seasonal scenes, our Halloween paint by numbers range has more, and autumn paint by numbers offers a softer take on the same season.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What is in the kit

Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the purple, blue, orange, brown and black seen on the boat and the forest.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the glowing eyes and bats, the medium one for the lantern, the broad one for the sky and river.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers for the carved pumpkin and full moon areas.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas before painting the winding river.

With frame
Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this haunted forest design?
The design is square, and all 12 sizes from 15x15 to 70x80 cm are offered. Sizes such as 40x40 or 50x50 cm give the lantern and bats enough room to paint comfortably.
Are details like the glowing eyes hard to paint?
These areas are small but few. The fine brush included in the kit is enough to apply colour to these small surfaces without going over the lines.
Who is this Halloween painting a good gift for?
It suits fans of dark scenes and October celebrations, including adults and teenagers who like night landscapes. The medium detail level makes it a reasonable choice for someone with some painting experience.
How long does this kit take to complete?
Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose. Smaller sizes finish faster, while the largest ones give you more room for the bats and reflections.
