- 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.

A Captain America paint by numbers canvas with star shield
Captain America stands facing forward in an American city street, his round shield raised in front of him. This Captain America paint by numbers design shows the blue and red costume, the winged helmet and the white star at the centre of the shield. Behind the hero, the buildings rise in grey and black, with regular windows. The light comes from the left and picks out the folds of the fabric. The square format keeps the character centred and leaves little room for the background. There are plenty of colour areas on the chest and shield, and wider ones in the sky and the buildings.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large areas of sky and buildings, in grey and black, to loosen up your hand. Save the shield for last: its red and white rings need a fine brush and clean edges. The face and winged helmet come next, with the smallest areas. On a design this detailed, choose a 40x40 cm size or larger: the numbers stay readable and the facial features do not blur together.
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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the hero with the star shield, the blue and red costume and the city street.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the red, blue, white, grey and black seen on the shield, the costume and the buildings.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the stars on the shield and the wings on the helmet, the medium for the costume, the large for the street background.
Guide:The paper guide to the design lets you check the numbers for the shield, the winged helmet and the buildings in the background.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas of the hero in his heroic pose, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube.
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 Captain America?
The picture is square. A 40x40 cm works well for the detail of the face and shield. Below 30x30 cm, the small areas of the helmet and hands become hard to fill without going over the lines.
Is the design difficult to paint?
The level of detail is high: costume, shield and buildings all add small areas. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size. The large grey areas of the background give you a break between the fine sections.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
For comics and Marvel film fans who want to paint a recognisable hero. The square format suits a study or bedroom wall. The kit contains the printed canvas, the numbered pots and three brushes.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the large areas of sky and buildings, in grey and black, to loosen up your hand. Save the shield for last, with a fine brush for its red and white rings. The face and winged helmet come next, in the smallest areas.
How does paint by numbers work?
The printed linen canvas carries outlines and numbers. Each numbered acrylic paint pot matches one area. The paper guide is there to check the numbers, not the painting order. On this detailed design, choose 40x40 cm or larger to keep the numbers readable.
