A Manhattan skyline at night painting to complete yourself
The Manhattan skyline at night fills the upper half of the canvas. The skyscrapers stand as dark silhouettes, dotted with yellow and orange windows. A crescent moon sits in a deep blue sky. Below, the black river reflects the city lights in vertical streaks. This paint by numbers for adults skyline scene works with two distinct areas: the navy blue of the sky and water, and the warm yellow of the buildings. The contrast between them shapes the whole image. The square format emphasises the height of the towers.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the navy blue sky and the black river: they are the largest areas and they set the contrast. Then paint the skyscraper facades, keeping the edges crisp. The yellow and orange windows need the most care: they are small and numerous, so work with the fine brush and change pots often to avoid mixing. The reflections on the water go on in vertical streaks, without smoothing. Given the level of detail, choose 40x40 cm or larger.

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.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this night skyline?
The picture is square. Go for 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm: the skyscraper windows and reflections stay clear. Below 30x30 cm, the many small yellow areas become difficult to fill neatly.
Are the building details difficult to paint?
The level of detail is high. The windows form narrow, closely spaced shapes. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size. The fine brush and the paper chart help you find each numbered area.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
For fans of city scenes and New York, and for anyone who likes dark pictures with strong contrast. The kit contains the printed canvas, numbered pots, three brushes and the check chart.
How do I start a paint by numbers picture?
Start with the navy blue sky and the black river, the largest areas that set the contrast. Then paint the skyscraper facades with crisp edges. Save the yellow and orange windows for last, with the fine brush, changing pots often.
Which paint by numbers is good for beginners?
The ready-to-use numbered acrylic pots in this kit are suitable for beginners. Follow the numbers on the paper chart to find the areas, then paint in the order given: sky and river, facades, windows, vertical reflections on the water. Given the detail, choose 40x40 cm or larger.
