A samurai on horseback paint by numbers to complete yourself
This Japanese paint by numbers design shows a rider in armour galloping through an open field. The setting sun fills the background and colours the sky in orange, red and golden yellow. The black horse stands out against this warm light, and the dust kicked up by the hooves stays visible at the bottom of the frame. Distant mountains close the horizon. The style is expressive, with visible brushstrokes. The printed canvas carries every numbered area, from the sky to the grass in the field. The square format suits this composition centred on the rider.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the orange sky and the sun, the largest areas. Keep the horse and the armour for the end, when you are confident with the mixes. The dark areas of the horse need a fine brush so you do not spill over onto the field. The samurai's face and helmet are among the smallest details. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger to paint the distant mountains without difficulty.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What the kit contains
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers for the samurai, the horse and the orange sky.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the orange, red, brown, black and golden yellow of the design.
Brushes:The three fine, medium and large brushes are for the samurai's details and the flat areas of sky.
Guide:The printed guide to the design helps you check the numbers on the horse, the mountains and the dust.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas of the field at dusk.
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.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this samurai on horseback?
40x50 cm gives a good balance between the large areas of sky and the details of the armour. 30x30 cm suits beginners, but the lines of the face become fine.
Are the samurai details difficult to paint?
The level is intermediate. The horse and the armour have narrow areas, to be painted with the fine brush. The sky and the field remain large areas that are easy to fill.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits fans of Japanese culture and of horses. The square format sits on a desk or a shelf. Allow around 12 to 30 h of painting depending on the size you choose.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
For this samurai on horseback, start with the orange sky and the sun, the largest areas. Keep the horse and the armour for the end, when you are confident with the mixes. The printed guide is there to check the numbers of the areas, not to set an order of painting.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the orange sky and the sun first, then the horse and the armour last. Use the fine brush for the dark areas of the horse and the small details of the face and helmet. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger for the distant mountains.
