A Chrysler Building at sunset canvas to paint yourself
This Chrysler Building at sunset paint by numbers kit places the art deco spire at the centre of the canvas. The silver crown stands out against a warm orange sky. The stacked arched windows draw vertical lines across the facade, with golden reflections on the upper floors. Around it, the skyline skyscrapers stay darker, in steel grey and pale blue. A few light clouds cross the top of the painting. The square format keeps the tower upright in the frame. The sky areas are large, and the detail is concentrated on the spire and the window arches. The palette mixes orange, silver, golden ochre and grey.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large areas of orange and pale blue sky using the wide brush. Keep the fine brush for the spire and silver crown: the stacked arches need precision. Paint the surrounding skyscrapers in steel grey before the golden reflections on the facade, to avoid going over the lines. A 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm size suits the high level of detail. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size you choose.
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.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this square painting?
The subject is square, so a 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm keeps the tower well centred. 30x30 cm is still possible for a first try, but the window arches become small. 60x80 cm is not suited to the square framing.
Are the details of the spire difficult to paint?
The spire and silver crown need the fine brush. The window arches follow in vertical lines: work floor by floor. The rest of the canvas, sky and skyscrapers, is painted in large areas.
Who is this painting kit a good gift for?
For architecture and New York fans, and anyone who likes skyline paintings. The kit contains the printed canvas, numbered paint pots, three brushes and the check guide. It makes a gift from £5.90.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The level of detail is high, especially for the spire and the silver crown with its stacked arches. Start with the large areas of orange and pale blue sky using the wide brush, then paint the skyscrapers in steel grey before the golden reflections. The paper guide helps you check the numbers for each area.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Begin with the large areas of orange and pale blue sky using the wide brush. Keep the fine brush for the spire and silver crown. Paint the surrounding skyscrapers in steel grey before the golden reflections on the facade to avoid going over the lines.
