A Japanese castle paint by numbers scene with cherry blossom
This Japanese paint by numbers kit brings together a building with curved roofs, stone walls and steps climbing a hill. Pink cherry blossom frames the scene, with koi carp shaped banners hanging above the path. A clear blue sky fills the top of the canvas. The green of the hill contrasts with the beige and brown of the walls. The square format keeps the castle in the centre and shows the detail of the roofs and branches. Numbered pots and brushes are included.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the blue sky, the largest area, using the wide brush. Then paint the green of the hill, following the edges of the walls. Keep the fine brush for the curved roofs, the banners and the cherry blossom branches: these are the smallest areas. The pinks of the flowers need several close shades, so check the numbers before changing pots. A 40x50 cm size or larger leaves enough room for the detail of the castle and the carp.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the numbered outlines of the castle, cherry blossom, hill and sky.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the pinks of the cherry blossom, the greens of the hill and the blues of the sky.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the detail of the roofs and carp, the medium for the flowers, the wide for the sky.
Guide:The paper guide shows each number so you can check the shades of the walls, steps and banners.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas so you can paint the castle and hill areas flat.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
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 Japanese castle?
40x50 cm suits the medium level of detail: the roofs, banners and branches stay clear. 30x30 cm is quicker but squeezes the small elements. 50x70 cm leaves room for the cherry blossom and the walls.
Are the roof and carp details difficult to paint?
The curved roofs and koi carp banners are among the smallest areas. Take the fine brush and paint these parts after the sky and the hill. The paper guide helps you find the numbers.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
It suits someone who likes Japanese landscapes and cherry blossom. The medium level asks for a little patience on the details. The complete kit is ready to give as it is, with the canvas, pots and brushes.
How do I start a paint by numbers picture?
Start with the blue sky, the largest area, using the wide brush. Carry on with the green of the hill, following the edges of the walls. Keep the fine brush for the curved roofs, the banners and the cherry blossom branches. The paper guide is there to check the numbers of the areas.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the blue sky first with the wide brush, then the green of the hill. Use the fine brush for the curved roofs, the banners and the branches. For the pinks of the flowers, several close shades follow one another: check the numbers before changing pots.
