Masha and the Bear Reading Paint by Numbers

A Masha and the Bear reading paint by numbers scene to paint yourself

Masha and the brown bear share an open book across their knees in an orange striped armchair, the stone fireplace lit behind them and a geometric-patterned cup at their side. You paint Masha's pink headscarf and the pink curtains at the window against the brown, orange, beige and grey of the room. Most of the canvas sits at medium detail: wide stretches of wall, wooden floor and round rug, then tighter work on the book pages, the cup and the stripes of the chair. Hang the finished piece in a living room, where the lit fire and the armchair pick up the colours already in the room.

Tips for painting this design

Paint the big shapes first: the fire, the burgundy rug and the beige wall. Then the bear's brown fur and the orange stripes of the armchair, which take the medium brush. Save Masha's face, the book pages and the pattern on the cup for the fine brush, once the layer underneath has dried. The acrylics are ready to use, so there is nothing to mix. A 40x40 cm canvas or larger keeps the small shapes easy to follow, while anything under 30x30 cm tightens them. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit with 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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:the printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the two characters, the striped armchair and the stone fireplace.
• Paint:numbered acrylic pots matched to the bear's brown, Masha's pink headscarf and the burgundy rug. Choose 24, 36 or 48 colours.
• Brushes:three brushes, the fine one for the book pages, the cup and Masha's face, the medium for the fur, the wide for the fire and the rug.
• Guide:the paper guide to the design keeps you on the right numbers across the window, the pink curtains and the armchair.
• Optional:add the wooden frame to assemble if you want to hang the canvas as soon as it is dry. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
