Brown Bear Fishing in Misty Autumn River Paint by Numbers

Bear Paint by Numbers with a Misty Autumn River

A brown bear stands in a flowing river holding a fish. Ripples spread around it and sunlight reflects on the water. Small waterfalls spill over moss covered rocks beside it. Mist rises from the river at dawn. Autumn trees with pink and yellow leaves line the valley. The main colours are golden orange, soft pink, forest green, deep brown and pale blue. The style is realistic and the level of detail is high. This bear paint by numbers picture suits painters who enjoy water, rock and leaf textures in one scene. You paint it in acrylics, one numbered area at a time. You receive a printed linen canvas with numbered outlines, numbered acrylic paint pots, three brushes and a paper guide.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the larger areas of pale blue water and misty sky, using the medium brush. Move on to the forest green and the moss covered rocks before you tackle the trees. Save the deep brown of the bear for a calm session, as the outlines here are small and the fine brush helps. Use the fine brush for the fish, the edges of the ripples and the sunlight reflections. Paint the pink and yellow leaves last, so you do not smudge them while resting your hand on the canvas. Choosing 36 or 48 colours gives you more shades for the water, mist and autumn leaves. A larger size also makes the small numbered areas easier to paint.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, 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 numbered outlines of the bear, the river, the rocks and the autumn trees.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots cover golden orange, soft pink, forest green, deep brown, pale blue and the other shades in the picture, in 24, 36 or 48 colours.
• Brushes:Fine for the fish and small ripples, medium for the rocks and leaves, large for the water and misty background.
• Guide:The paper guide shows the numbered colour list so you can match each pot to the right area of the river scene.
• Optional:You can add a wooden frame to assemble yourself, which suits this autumn river scene on a wall, or choose the canvas rolled. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
