Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Poster Paint by Numbers

Harry Potter Hogwarts Express poster paint by numbers: six characters on one canvas

The poster of the first film puts Harry Potter, in his round glasses, in the foreground with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape and Rubeus Hagrid stand behind them. Hedwig the owl flies above with wings spread, under a night sky of blue and grey. The Hogwarts Express gives off white smoke near the castle towers. Dark blue, black and brown dominate, with white and grey for the smoke and feathers. The portrait format suits a wall in a hallway, a study or a bedroom. It is a clear gift idea for a fan of the saga who likes detailed work.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the night sky and the dark areas in the background to set the contrasts. Then paint the wizards' black coats with the medium brush. Use the fine brush for the eyes, Harry's glasses and the facial features. Hedwig's white feathers need two coats to cover the numbers. With six faces on the canvas, the 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm size in 48 colours keeps each expression easy to read. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. This is an advanced level kit.
