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.

Japanese wave and cherry blossom paint by numbers in ukiyo-e style
A large stylised blue wave fills the foreground. Pink cherry branches hang above white foam drawn in fine detail. Behind them, a beige mountain sits under a pastel pink gradient sky, and petals fall over the water. The composition follows the conventions of ukiyo-e prints, with blue, pink, white and beige as the main colours and black for the darkest accents. The portrait format gives the wave its full height and lets the flowering branches curve across the top of the canvas. If you like this style, you will find more designs in our Japanese paint by numbers collection, and other blossom subjects in flower paint by numbers.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the pink gradient sky at the top of the canvas and cover it with the wide brush. Move to the beige mountain, then to the blue wave. The wave holds many small white foam areas, and these need the fine brush. Finish with the cherry branches and the isolated petals. We rate this kit Advanced and expect around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. Choose 40x50 cm or larger to give the foam details more room. Apply thin coats so the printed outlines stay sharp, and pick 24, 36 or 48 colours according to how much shading you want in the sky and foam.
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.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this Japanese print?
Choose 40x50 cm or larger if you want room for the white foam and the petals. The kit comes in 9 sizes from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, and the smallest ones squeeze the foam areas into very small spaces.
Are the foam details difficult to paint?
Yes, this is the hardest part of the design. The white foam breaks into many small areas packed against the blue. Use the fine brush, load it lightly and paint one numbered area at a time.
Who is this wave and cherry blossom picture a good gift for?
It suits someone who likes Japanese art or ukiyo-e prints and has painted before, as the level is Advanced. The portrait format also works for a narrow wall. Choose the wooden frame option if you want it ready to hang.
How long does this kit take to finish?
Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size you choose. The many fine details make it an Advanced kit, so short painting sessions help you keep the foam and petals accurate. Dispatch is within 48 hours.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Follow the order on the sheet: pink sky, beige mountain, blue wave with white foam using the fine brush, then branches and petals. The paper guide lets you check the numbers for each area. Paint thinly to keep the outlines visible.
