iWhat does this level mean?
- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
A Blue Waves and White Peonies paint by number kit to paint yourself
Rolling blue waves surround peonies and white chrysanthemums, and the gold foliage stands out against the navy and turquoise background. Cloud motifs fill the gaps in a dense, portrait format composition. The dominant colours are navy blue, turquoise, off-white, gold and dark green. The many fine details make this an advanced kit, and it takes around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. It sits in our Japanese paint by numbers range, and if you like floral subjects, our flower paint by number kits are worth a look too.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large areas of navy and turquoise to lay down the background of the waves. Add the off-white to the stylised foam and the peony petals next. The gold foliage follows thin, curving stems, so use the fine brush there and for the clean outlines of the cloud motifs. The kit comes in 9 sizes from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, with 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option. Choose 40x50 cm or larger: on a 20x30 cm canvas the small areas become hard to paint with this much detail.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What the kit contains
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the rolling blue waves and chrysanthemums, numbered ready to paint.
Paint:The numbered pots cover the navy, turquoise, off white, gold and dark green of the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the stylised white foam and cloud motifs, the wide brush for the waves.
Guide:The paper chart lets you check the numbers for the peonies and golden foliage.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the waves and flowers canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.

The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.

The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for the Blue Waves and White Peonies kit?
Choose 40x50 cm or larger. The gold foliage, the foam and the petals are all small areas, and a 20x30 cm canvas squeezes them together. The 60x80 cm size gives the fine brush the most room. Sizes start at 20x30 cm if you want a shorter project.
How difficult is this kit and how long does it take?
It is an advanced level kit because of the many fine details: petals, foliage stems and cloud outlines. Expect around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. The fine brush and the paper chart help you keep the small gold and white areas clear.
Who is this Japanese design a good gift for?
It suits someone who likes Japanese floral motifs and has painted before, since the composition is dense and detailed. The portrait format and the navy, turquoise and gold palette work on a wall in a hallway or living room. The wooden frame option, which you assemble, makes it easier to display.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Work from the large navy and turquoise areas towards the gold foliage. Keep the fine brush for the gold stems and the clean outlines of the clouds. If two shades look close on the canvas, check the numbers on the paper chart before you paint.
