Brown Bear Catching a Salmon Paint by Numbers

Brown Bear Catching a Salmon Paint by Numbers to paint yourself

This realistic animal scene shows a brown bear standing among grey and brown rocks, with a pink salmon held in its mouth. Blue and white water runs through the mountain river, with small waterfalls between the stones. Dark green conifers fill the background beneath a cloudy sky. Brown, blue, green and grey create the main colour structure. The printed linen canvas has numbered outlines for the bear, salmon, rocks and river. The kit includes ready-to-use numbered acrylic paints, three brushes and a paper reference chart. You can compare this design with other animal paint by numbers scenes before choosing your subject.

Tips for painting this design

Paint the cloudy sky and conifer forest first, then fill the river and waterfalls before working on the foreground bear and salmon. The bear's fur uses several brown shades, while the salmon includes small pink areas that benefit from the fine brush. Medium areas make up most of the design, with some fine details around the animal, water and rocks. Choose 40x40 cm or larger if you want the bear's face and salmon to remain easier to read. Let each section dry before painting an adjoining area.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers for the brown bear, salmon, river rocks and surrounding landscape.
• Paint:Numbered acrylic pots provide the colours for the bear's brown fur, the salmon's pink scales, the river and the conifer forest.
• Brushes:Use the fine brush for the salmon and narrow waterfall sections, the medium brush for the rocks, and the wide brush for the cloudy sky.
• Guide:The paper reference chart helps you check the numbers across the bear, river and forest.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble gives you a way to stretch the canvas for display. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
