Two Rabbits Under Cherry Blossom Paint by Numbers

Rabbit paint by numbers beneath the cherry blossom

This rabbit paint by numbers shows two brown rabbits sitting side by side in a spring meadow. Above them, a gnarled dark trunk holds a dense canopy of pink blossom. Petals are falling through the air and settling on the grass. The grass is green and dotted with small wildflowers. Sunlight comes through the branches and leaves dappled patches of light on the ground. The palette is built around pink, magenta, brown, green and cream. The style is realistic, so the fur, the bark and the petals all get careful shading. The level of detail is high, with plenty of small areas to fill. If you are searching for a bunny paint by numbers, this one gives you a pair to paint rather than a single animal. Your kit arrives with 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 green grass and the brown trunk, as these are the largest areas and help you settle into the numbers. Use the large brush for the bigger patches of grass and the medium brush for the rabbits' bodies and the thicker branches. Keep the fine brush for the small wildflowers, the falling petals and the edges of the fur. Work the blossom canopy in small sections, finishing one pink or magenta area before moving to the next so the shades stay tidy. Let each patch dry before painting beside it, which keeps the outlines crisp. With this much detail, the 36 or 48 colour option gives you more shades for the fur, the shadows and the dappled light. Expect somewhere between 12 and 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.
