- 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.

Alpine Village Paint by Numbers Kit: Summer Sunlight in the Valley
This alpine village paint by numbers kit shows a quiet village on a bright summer day. Snow-capped peaks rise across the top of the picture, and dense forest in deep forest green covers the slopes beneath them. A white church with a tall spire stands among timber brown chalet-style houses. A green valley opens out in front, and small touches of meadow yellow mark the wildflowers in the foreground. The sky is a clear alpine blue with soft white clouds. The style is impressionist, with visible brushwork and medium detail, and the square format gives the mountains and the valley equal room. If you like this scene, our mountain paint by numbers collection has more peaks to paint, and the landscape paint by numbers range covers other views.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the sky and the snow-capped peaks. These large areas set the light for the rest of the picture. Use the wide brush for the sky and the broad green valley, and the medium brush for the forest slopes and the houses. The fine brush is for the church spire, the chalet windows and the wildflowers in the foreground. Work from the top of the canvas downwards so your hand never rests on wet paint. The 36 and 48 colour sets add more shades of green and blue, which helps separate the forest from the meadow and the distant peaks from the sky. Let each block dry before you paint fine details on top.

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.

Questions about this design
What size should I choose for the alpine village scene?
The design is square and comes in 12 sizes, from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. Around 40x40 cm keeps the church spire and chalets easy to read. Larger sizes give the forest slopes and the wildflowers more room for the brush.
The church spire and small wildflowers look fiddly. Any advice?
Paint the spire with the fine brush in short strokes, once the surrounding sky has dried. For the wildflowers, use the tip of the fine brush, keep each dot small and add them last so they sit on top of the dry meadow.
Who would this kit suit as a gift?
It suits anyone who likes mountain scenery or has visited an alpine village. The medium detail makes it a good choice for adults who have already painted a kit or two and want a scene with some fine work.
How long does the alpine village take to paint?
Plan on around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you choose. The sky, peaks and valley are large areas that go quickly. Most of the time goes on the forest slopes, the chalets and the small wildflowers.
