Difficulty level : Advanced
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 race car paint by numbers picture to paint yourself
A racing car crosses a coastal circuit at sunset. This car paint by numbers kit shows the single-seater from the side, speeding along a start line lined with palm trees. The sky fills the top half of the canvas, with a gradient of orange, red and yellow running down towards the sea. On the left, a dense crowd stands behind the barriers. The bodywork uses deep blues and purples, lifted with yellow along the sides. The dark grey tarmac keeps a few warm reflections. The square format balances the car and the horizon.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky, from the top down to the horizon, following the numbers in order to keep the gradient continuous. The oranges and reds look similar on the canvas: sort the pots before you start and paint a whole area with the same shade. Leave the bodywork until last, as the blues and purples need a steady hand on the outlines. A 40x50 cm or 50x50 cm size leaves enough room for the details of the crowd and the palm trees.
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.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the race car, the coastal circuit and the palm trees.
Paint:The acrylic pots cover the orange, red, blue, yellow and purple of the sunset.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the outlines of the car, the medium one for the crowd, the broad one for the sky.
Guide:The paper guide lets you check the numbers for the areas of the circuit and the start line.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the coastal circuit canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
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.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this race car?
40x50 cm suits the medium level of detail: the car stays clear and the crowd does not turn into a mass of dots. 30x30 cm works for a first kit, 60x80 cm if you want to work on the reflections in the tarmac.
Are the crowd and palm tree details difficult?
The crowd is painted in small touches of similar colours, with no sharp outlines to follow. The palm trees need more care on the leaves. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size you choose and how fine your brush is.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
For a motorsport fan or a racing enthusiast who already paints. The subject appeals to adults, and the sky gradient stays manageable for someone who has never held a fine brush. The kit can be given as it is, in its tube.
How do you paint by numbers?
Start with the sky, from the top down to the horizon, following the numbers to keep the gradient continuous. Sort the pots before you start, as the oranges and reds look similar. Paint a whole area with the same shade. Leave the bodywork until last, as the blues and purples need a steady hand on the outlines.
How do I rescue dried paint?
The pots are ready to use. Paint a whole area with the same shade without leaving a pot open, and close it after use. The paper guide is for checking the numbers of the areas, not the painting order.
