Firefighters in Action Paint by Numbers

A firefighter paint by numbers scene to paint yourself

This firefighters paint by numbers shows two helmeted firefighters facing a burning building. A jet of water crosses the scene, held with both hands. The building fills the background, with blackened windows and grey smoke rising through its full height. The main colours are orange, red and black, with yellow in the flames and smoke grey in the sky. The square format of the picture reinforces the verticality of the building. The dark uniforms stand out against the orange glow. The kit contains the printed canvas with outlines and numbers, numbered acrylic paint pots, three brushes and the paper reference sheet.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the black areas of the uniforms and helmets, then the dark windows of the building. Next paint the yellow and orange flames, keeping the pots separate to avoid mixing on the canvas. The water jet needs precision: use the fine brush and load it lightly to follow the pale lines. Paint the grey smoke last, with the large brush, in light layers. Given the level of detail, choose a 40x40 cm size or larger to keep the areas crisp.

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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the helmeted firefighters, the hoses and the burning building.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the orange, red, black, yellow and smoke grey of the design.
• Brushes:The fine brush is for helmets and uniforms, the medium for hoses, the large for water jets and smoke.
• Guide:The paper reference sheet helps you check the numbers of the flame and thick smoke areas.
• Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas of the urban scene, otherwise it arrives rolled. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
