Japanese Cherry Blossom Beach Paint by Numbers

Japanese cherry blossom beach paint by numbers: sakura trees above a rocky coast

Pink cherry branches frame a rocky coast in this Japanese cherry blossom beach paint by numbers kit. Petals fall onto beige sand, a grassy green cliff borders the water and turquoise waves break on the rocks. Thick white clouds fill the blue sky, and seagulls fly above the sea. The portrait format stretches the trees upwards and gives the ocean depth. Pink, sky blue, turquoise, green and white dominate the palette. The design is rated Advanced because of its many fine details, and we estimate around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size you choose. You can find more designs in our Japanese paint by numbers range, or look at our beach and sea paint by numbers for other shorelines.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky and white clouds to lay down the background, then paint the turquoise sea before the sand areas. The cherry branches call for a steady hand. Use the fine brush for the pink petals scattered in the air, and the tip of the smallest brush for the seagulls, which need a clean line. Where white cloud meets blue sky, let the first colour dry before you paint the neighbouring number. Choose 40x50 cm or larger so the vegetation areas stay wide enough to paint without overlapping colours.

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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
