A polar bear in stained glass mosaic style
This bear paint by numbers design shows a white polar bear swimming underwater. The whole picture is built from small mosaic tiles, much like a stained glass window. Turquoise and teal fill most of the water around the bear. Navy blue sits in the deeper shapes, while sea green adds a little variety between the blues. The bear itself is mostly white, broken into many geometric pieces. Bubbles rise through the water, and rays of daytime sunlight cut down from the surface. The level of detail is high, with plenty of small shapes to fill. Each tile has its own number, so you simply work through them one at a time. The finished picture is bright, cool and very graphic. You receive a printed linen canvas with numbered outlines, numbered acrylic paint pots in 24, 36 or 48 colours, three brushes, a paper guide and free UK delivery.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large areas of turquoise and teal in the background, using the large brush and working one tile at a time. Move on to the navy blue and sea green shapes once the lighter water is dry. Save the white tiles of the bear for later, and expect to give them a second coat so the colour looks even. Use the fine brush for the bubbles, the light rays and the edges where the bear meets the water. Let each tile dry before painting the one beside it, which keeps the mosaic lines crisp. The 36 or 48 colour options help here, because the extra shades give a smoother change from one tile to the next. A larger canvas gives the small tiles more room, which makes the detail easier to paint.
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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries numbered outlines of every mosaic tile in the polar bear and the water around it.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover turquoise, teal, white, navy blue and sea green, in 24, 36 or 48 colours.
Brushes:Use the fine brush for bubbles and small tiles, the medium brush for the bear, and the large brush for the open water.
Guide:The paper guide shows the number for each colour so you can check every tile as you paint.
Optional:The optional wooden frame is assembled at home and suits the cool blues of this underwater scene, otherwise the canvas arrives rolled.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
With frame
Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size is best for the mosaic polar bear?
The design is high in detail, so a larger size gives the small tiles more room and is easier on the eyes. Smaller sizes still work well if you like a quicker project. Painting time is around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.
Which part of this picture is the trickiest?
The white tiles of the bear sit next to pale shades, so take your time and check each number against the guide. The bubbles and light rays are small, so the fine brush helps. A second coat on the white tiles gives a clean, even finish.
Who does this polar bear kit suit as a gift?
It suits anyone who likes animals, bold colour or stained glass patterns. No painting experience is needed, because every tile is numbered. It is best for someone who enjoys steady, detailed work, and it comes with everything needed plus free UK delivery.
