Mountain Hare at Twilight in Pop Art Snow Paint by Numbers

A pop art hare paint by numbers for winter evenings

This hare paint by numbers shows a white mountain hare in a snowy landscape at dusk. The hare sits among snow-covered rocks, with frosted pine branches and a few red berries close by. Behind it, layered mountains fade into the distance and silhouetted trees line the horizon. A crescent moon sits in a cloudy sky on a clear winter evening. The colours are deep purple, magenta pink, violet and ice blue, with touches of orange for warmth. The pop art style gives the scene flat, vivid blocks of colour rather than soft, muted tones. The detail level is high, so you will find many small numbered shapes in the sky, the snow and the branches. The pale hare stands out clearly against the rich background, which makes it satisfying to see take shape. Each area is numbered, so you can work at your own pace, one colour at a time. Your kit arrives complete with a printed linen canvas, numbered acrylic paints, three brushes and a paper guide.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the large areas of sky and the distant mountains, using the large brush so the colour goes on evenly. Work from the darkest purples towards the lighter pinks and blues, and let each patch dry before painting next to it. Move on to the snow-covered rocks and the hare using the medium brush, keeping the whites clean by rinsing between colours. Save the fine brush for the pine needles, the red berries, the crescent moon and the thin outlines of the silhouetted trees. Because the sky has many neighbouring shades, the 36 or 48 colour option helps you keep the blends as the design intended. Expect around 12 to 30 hours in total depending on the size you choose, so short sessions work well. Paint the pine branches last so you can see where they overlap the sky.

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.
