iWhat does this level mean?
- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
A Formula 1 paint by numbers picture to paint yourself
A red Formula 1 car sits at the centre of the canvas, seen from the front on the starting grid. This Formula 1 paint by numbers shows the single-seater under the floodlights of a night circuit. The front wing and wide tyres fill the lower part of the picture. The driver's helmet appears in the cockpit. The grey track surface draws a clear line beneath the car. The black sky and yellow floodlight halos fill the background. The red of the bodywork dominates, with white areas on the sides and grey reflections on the tyres. The drawing stays realistic, with crisp outlines on the bodywork and gradients on the tarmac.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large red areas of the bodywork, then the black of the sky and tyres. Save the yellows of the floodlights for the end: they need a fine brush so you do not spill over onto the grey. The reflections on the tyres and tarmac are painted in small strokes, number by number. On a 40x50 cm size or larger, the details of the wing and helmet stay clear. Below 30x30 cm, the areas become very small.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. 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 racing car seen from the front on the grid.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the red, black, white, grey and yellow of the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the numbers on the helmet and wing, the broad one for the night sky.
Guide:The paper guide repeats the numbers for the wide tyres, the starting line and the floodlights.
Optional:Optionally, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the night circuit canvas, otherwise it 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 should I choose for this Formula 1 car?
The 40x50 cm suits the level of detail in the picture: the wing, helmet and floodlights stay sharp. The 30x30 cm works for a first kit, but the small areas of the cockpit need more attention.
Are the details of the car difficult to paint?
The bodywork is filled in large areas. The fine parts are the front wing, the helmet and the reflections on the tyres. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size chosen and the brushes used.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
For motorsport fans and people who follow the grands prix. The square format and the subject suit a gift for a patient adult or teenager, as long as they have already painted a kit.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
On this picture, start with the large red areas of the bodywork, then paint the black of the sky and tyres. Save the yellows of the floodlights for the end, with the fine brush, so you do not spill over onto the grey.
How do I start a paint by numbers?
Find the numbers on the printed canvas and the paper guide for reference. Paint the large red areas of the bodywork first, then the black of the sky and tyres. The reflections on the tyres and tarmac are done in small strokes, number by number.
