Japanese waterfall and cherry blossom paint by numbers kit: a portrait landscape for experienced painters
A waterfall drops along a grey rocky cliff into a pool. A wooden pavilion stands on a balcony at the water's edge, with orange lanterns hanging under its roof. Japanese cherry trees carry pink and white flowers, and a stone staircase links the levels of the landscape. The green of the vegetation sets off the blue of the water. The portrait format follows the fall of the water from top to bottom, so the picture reads as a tall, narrow scene on the wall. Pink, blue, grey, orange and white dominate, which suits a hallway or living room.
The design is realistic and rated advanced. Expect many fine details and around 20 to 40 hours of painting, depending on the size you pick. Each area carries a number that matches one colour in the kit.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the grey rocky cliff to lay the base of the scene. Paint the blue water of the waterfall and the pool next, then move on to the pavilion. The cherry blossom is made of small pink and white areas, so keep the fine brush for it. The 36 and 48 colour options split the pinks and greys into more shades, which gives the petals and the rock more depth. Because of the amount of detail, we suggest 40x50 cm or larger, as the smallest sizes shrink those blossom areas further. Paint the orange lanterns after the wood of the balcony has dried, so the fine outlines stay clean.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this waterfall and cherry blossom?
The design has many fine details, so we recommend 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm. At these sizes the pink flowers and the stones of the staircase have enough room to paint cleanly. Sizes run from 15x15 to 70x80 cm, and the larger formats sit closer to 40 hours of work.
Are the cherry blossoms difficult to paint?
The petals form small pink and white areas, so use the fine brush supplied in the kit and work one number at a time. The 36 or 48 colour option splits the shades of pink, which makes the blossom easier to render.
Who is this Japanese landscape for?
It is an advanced level design for people used to detailed canvases and happy to spend 20 to 40 hours on it. It also makes a gift for someone who likes Japanese landscapes and has the patience for fine work.
How do you paint by numbers?
Start with the grey rocky cliff, then paint the blue water of the waterfall before the details of the pavilion. The paper guide helps you check the numbers on the cliffs, the stone staircase and the balcony as you go.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Keep the fine brush for the pink flowers and thin outlines. Let the wood of the balcony dry before you paint the orange lanterns beside it, so the colours do not blend into each other.
