A Japanese paint by numbers scene of a samurai in red armour under cherry trees to paint yourself
The samurai in red armour paint by numbers shows a warrior standing under branches of flowering cherry. He wears a kabuto helmet, red armour and a katana at his side. Pink petals float around him. Behind, a Japanese spring landscape shows through in green and beige. The red of the armour dominates the scene, with the pink of the sakura and the browns of the branches. The linework is precise and the detail is high. Each numbered area matches a pot of acrylic paint. You follow the outlines printed on the canvas and fill in the areas one by one. The square format suits this centred composition.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the beige and green background of the landscape, then the brown branches. Keep the red of the armour for the end: the areas are large and need two coats to cover the linework. The pink petals are small, so use the fine brush and load it with little paint. The kabuto helmet mixes red, brown and beige on narrow surfaces. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger to keep the details of the face and the katana sharp.
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.
What is in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the samurai in red armour and the numbers for the cherry branches.
Paint:The acrylic pots cover the red of the armour, the pink of the petals, the brown of the branches and the green of the garden.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the pink petals and the details of the kabuto helmet, the broad one for the beige sky.
Guide:The paper chart helps you check the numbers for the katana at his side and the cherry blossom.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas of the Japanese garden, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it 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 finished picture on the wall.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this samurai in red armour?
The detail is high, especially on the helmet and the katana. A 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm size leaves enough room for the small areas. 30x40 cm is still possible if you paint with a fine brush.
Are the details of the helmet and petals difficult to paint?
The kabuto helmet and the pink petals are among the smallest areas. They need patience and the fine brush. The rest, the armour and the background, fills in without difficulty.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits someone who loves Japan and samurai scenes. The square format and centred subject appeal to fans of figurative painting. Allow around 20 to 40 h of work depending on the size.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Paint the beige and green background first, then the brown branches. Keep the red of the armour for the end, in two coats to cover the linework. Use the fine brush for the pink petals and the kabuto helmet. The paper chart helps you check the numbers of the areas.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The difficulty comes from the details: pink petals and the kabuto helmet on narrow surfaces need the fine brush and little paint. The red of the armour covers large areas in two coats. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger to keep the face and the katana sharp.
