A cherry blossoms by a lake paint by numbers kit in portrait format
Branches heavy with pink flowers frame a still lake, and fallen petals float on the water. The trees reflect in light blue and violet, while soft grey mountains sit under a pastel sky on the horizon. The watercolour style builds the scene from flat areas of pink, white and grey, so each numbered zone is easy to read. The portrait orientation stretches the height of the trees and the depth of the water. This design belongs to our Japanese paint by numbers designs, and you can also browse other landscape paint by numbers kits if you want different scenery.
Tips for painting this design
Work from top to bottom. Paint the pink and white sky first with the wide brush, since these are the largest areas. Move to the distant grey mountains, then to the lake. The blue and violet reflections follow narrow outlines, so switch to the medium brush there. Keep the pink flowers on the branches for last, and paint the small floating petals with the fine brush. If you want the blossom clusters comfortable to paint, choose 40x50 cm or larger. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, 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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:Linen canvas with the outlines and numbers already printed for the cherry branches, the lake and the mountains.
Paint:Numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, covering the pink, light blue, violet, white and grey of the design. You choose 24, 36 or 48 colours.
Brushes:Three brushes. The fine one is for petals and branches, the medium for the lake reflections, the wide for the sky.
Guide:A paper chart lists the numbers for the lake, the reflections and the blossom, so you can check each area as you go.
Optional:A wooden frame to assemble, if you would rather have the canvas stretched than rolled. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this cherry blossom painting?
Choose 40x50 cm or larger if you want the blossom clusters and floating petals easy to paint. The 30x40 cm size works for a smaller picture, but the petals get tighter. Sizes run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, and you can pick 24, 36 or 48 colours.
Are the floating petals difficult to paint?
They are small areas, so use the fine brush from the three supplied (fine, medium, wide). Most of the design is medium areas with some fine details, which is why we rate the kit intermediate. Paint the petals last, once the lake colours are dry.
Who is this sakura picture a good gift for?
It suits someone who likes Japan, spring flowers or calm pastel scenes. The intermediate level fits a person who has painted before. The kit includes canvas, numbered acrylic paint and three brushes, and we dispatch within 48 hours. The pink, blue and grey tones work well in a bedroom or hallway.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The level is intermediate. The sky and mountains are broad areas for the wide brush, the lake reflections need the medium brush, and the flowers and floating petals call for the fine brush. The paper chart helps you check each number. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.
