Fire Engine in a Street at Night Paint by Numbers

A fire engine at night paint by numbers picture

This car paint by numbers shows a red vehicle parked on a city street at night. The blue flashing lights illuminate the wet road and the buildings in the background. The fire engine sits in the centre of the composition, with its yellow headlights on and clear bodywork lines. Around it, grey and black facades create an urban perspective. The reflections on the ground add areas of blue and red to work on. The night sky stays dark, which makes the vehicle stand out. The square format suits this centred scene. The kit contains the printed canvas with numbered outlines, the acrylic paint pots, three brushes and the control sheet.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the large dark areas: the night sky and the building facades. Then paint the red of the fire engine in one even coat to avoid streaks. The blue flashing lights and yellow headlights need care: load the fine brush lightly and work in small strokes. Leave the reflections on the road until last, once the neighbouring colours are dry. A 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm size is enough for this medium level of detail.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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 the outlines and numbers of the red fire engine and the lit buildings.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the red, blue, black, yellow and grey of the fire engine and the wet street.
• Brushes:The wide brush covers the night sky and the road, the fine one is for the blue flashing lights and the bright headlights.
• Guide:The paper design sheet helps you check the numbers for the reflections on the road and the building windows.
• Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the fire engine canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
