Moose by a Turquoise Lake in Summer Paint by Numbers

A detailed moose paint by numbers for wildlife lovers

This moose paint by numbers shows a large bull moose standing in an alpine meadow. His antlers are wide and carefully detailed. Behind him, a turquoise lake stretches towards rugged mountains. The peaks are dusted with snow under a clear blue sky. Red wildflowers, blue lupins and yellow flowers fill the grass around him. Green conifer trees grow along the rocky mountain slopes. The style is realistic and the level of detail is high. Browns for the moose, turquoise for the water and bright flower colours give a fresh summer palette. Small areas such as the antlers and flower heads reward a steady hand. You receive a printed linen canvas with numbered outlines, numbered acrylic paints, three brushes and a paper guide, with free UK delivery.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky and the turquoise lake, as these are large areas and help you settle into the numbers. Move on to the mountains and the green conifer trees, working from the top of the canvas downwards so your hand does not smudge dry paint. Paint the moose next, using the medium brush for the body and the fine brush for the antlers and the edges of the face. Leave the flowers until last, as the red, blue and yellow dots are small and sit on top of the green meadow. Let each colour dry before painting beside it, especially where the white of the snow meets the blue sky. The 36 or 48 colour options give you more shades to work with in the fur, the water and the rocky slopes. Allow around 12 to 30 hours in total, depending on the size you choose.

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 moose, the turquoise lake, the snowy mountains and the flower meadow.
• Paint:Numbered acrylic paint pots in 24, 36 or 48 colours cover the browns of the moose, turquoise water, blue sky, green trees and red, blue and yellow flowers.
• Brushes:Fine for the antlers and flower heads, medium for the moose and the mountain slopes, large for the sky, lake and meadow grass.
• Guide:The paper guide shows the numbered colour list so you can check each shade as you paint the scene.
