Brooklyn Bridge at Sunrise Paint by Numbers

A Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise canvas to paint yourself

This paint by numbers for adults shows the Brooklyn Bridge seen from Brooklyn, with its two stone towers and cables stretching towards Manhattan. The sky shifts from pink to orange above the East River. The water picks up these tones in golden reflections. The cables in the foreground draw dark lines across the pale sky. The bridge deck crosses the image diagonally. The towers sit at the centre in stone grey and brown. The pale blue of the sky balances the warm oranges. The square format keeps the whole bridge in the frame.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky, from pale pink towards orange, to lay down the gradients before the cables. Then paint the water and its golden reflections, following the numbers to keep the horizontal bands. The stone towers need care: the shades of grey and brown are close together, so brush finely. Keep the foreground cables for the end, with the fine brush and paint that is not too diluted. A 40x40 cm size or larger leaves enough room for the details of the deck and cables.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
