- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.

A paint by numbers knight's helmet and sword to complete
This paint by numbers for adults shows a steel helm set beside a bare blade. Both objects sit at the centre of a stone table in a dark medieval interior. Two lit candles light the scene and cast orange reflections across the metal. The background stays midnight blue, crossed by a patch of dark sky. Steel greys dominate the helmet and the sword's guard. The brown of the stone and the black of the shadows frame these lighter areas. The design keeps a high level of detail on the rivets, the visor and the blade.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the dark areas of the background and the table, then move on to the candles and their orange glow. Leave the steel greys of the helmet until last: the reflections go on in small touches on the visor and the nasal. The sword calls for precision on the guard and the blade, where light and dark tones meet. Choose a size of 30x40 cm or larger to keep the rivets legible. The 40x50 cm works well if you want to build up the metal's gradients.
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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the helmet and the sword on the stone table.
Paint:The pots cover the steel grey of the helmet, the black of the sword and the flame orange of the candles.
Brushes:The fine brush draws the metallic reflections on the helmet and the medium brush paints the stone table.
Guide:The paper chart helps you check the numbers for the dark sky and the helmet areas.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the helmet and sword canvas before painting. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this knight's helmet and sword?
30x40 cm is enough for the main shapes of the helmet and the table. Move up to 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm if you want to paint the rivets, the sword's guard and the reflections without straining the fine brushes.
Are the details of the helmet and sword difficult to paint?
The level of detail is high on the visor, the rivets and the blade. Use the fine brush for these areas and allow around 20 to 40 h of work depending on the size you choose. The large areas of the background paint up quickly.
Who is this medieval painting suitable as a gift for?
It suits an adult who likes medieval history, knights or armour. The kit contains the printed canvas, the numbered pots and three brushes, which makes it a gift that is ready to start.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Each pot is numbered and matches the areas on the canvas. The paper chart helps you check the numbers. Paint the dark areas of the background and the table first, then the candles and their orange glow, and keep the steel greys of the helmet for the end, in touches on the visor and the nasal.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The level is high on this subject. The sword calls for precision on the guard and the blade, where light and dark tones meet. Choose a size of 30x40 cm or larger to keep the rivets legible, and 40x50 cm to work on the metal's gradients.
