Difficulty level : Advanced
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.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
Japanese waves and scale clouds paint by numbers kit in modern ukiyo-e style
Rolling black waves rise across the canvas in an upward movement. White scale shaped clouds layer over a beige and grey background, and golden particles mark the crests of the swells. The portrait format stretches the waves in height. Black fills the lower half, so the picture reads as a dark base under lighter clouds. Fine white lines separate the dark areas from the flat light colour, and each numbered area matches one colour in the kit. You can find more designs of this kind in our Japanese paint by numbers collection.
Tips for painting this design
This is an advanced design with many fine details, and it takes around 20 to 40 h depending on the size. Start with the large black areas at the bottom, which set the structure. Paint the beige and grey of the background next, then the white scale clouds. The golden particles are small areas that need the fine brush. Choose 40x50 cm or larger so each number stays easy to read, and use the paper chart to check the small areas under the white lines. If you want the canvas stretched on wood, pick the frame option, or look at our framed paint by numbers.
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 waves design?
Go for 40x50 cm or larger. The golden particles and fine white lines are small areas, and a bigger canvas leaves enough room to read each number. The range runs from 20x30 to 60x80 cm in 9 sizes.
Are the details difficult to paint?
Use the fine brush for the golden particles and the thin white lines. The wide black waves and the beige and grey background can be covered with the medium or wide brush. The kit includes all three.
Who is this ukiyo-e style picture a good gift for?
It suits someone who likes Asian art and graphic patterns and has already finished a kit or two, as the level is advanced. The black, white and gold contrast fits contemporary interiors.
Where do I begin painting this design?
Begin with the large black areas at the bottom to set the structure. Carry on with the beige and grey background, then the white scale clouds. Keep the fine brush for the golden particles and check the small areas on the paper chart.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
Expect around 20 to 40 h depending on the size, as the design has many fine details. Paint the black areas first, then the background, then the white clouds. Work in short sessions and pick 40x50 cm or larger to read each number comfortably.
