Difficulty level : Intermediate
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.
Red Ferrari on a Quayside paint by numbers: the scene on the canvas
The car holds the centre of the picture: a red sports car on cobbles, facing the water, with a tall building and its tower behind. This kit prints the outlines and the numbers on linen, so you build the scene in flat patches of colour with no drawing to do. The bodywork carries the strongest red and needs the cleanest edges. The cobbles run through grey and beige blocks. Sky and water sit in grey blues with low cloud, which cools the picture and pushes the red forward. Black covers the wheels, the windows and the shadow under the car. The square format keeps the building and the car in one frame, which works on a narrow wall where a wide landscape would not fit.
For a harbour scene without the car, the boats and seascape paint by numbers designs work the same grey blue water.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky and the water: both are broad areas, and the wide brush covers them fast, so colour lands on the canvas before the small work begins. Take the building and its tower next, in beige and grey with the medium brush. Leave the red bodywork for the end. It runs along black outlines, and a light load on the fine brush keeps the edge of the car sharp. The wheels and the windows take the fine brush as well. Rinse the brush and dry it on kitchen paper when you move from red to beige, since a wet red brush dulls the pale greys. A 40x40 cm or 40x50 cm canvas holds the medium detail at a comfortable size, and the range runs from 15x15 cm up to 70x80 cm. Choose 36 colours if you want the reds of the bodywork and the greys of the cobbles to shift properly; 24 covers the main blocks.
If you would rather paint another vehicle, our car & vehicle paint by numbers collection includes a tractor in a wheat field, a camper van in a flower field and a vintage motorcycle.
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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What the kit contains
Canvas:printed linen canvas with the outlines and numbers for the red Ferrari, the cobbled quay and the historic tower.
Paint:numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, holding the red of the bodywork, the beige and grey of the cobbles and the grey blue of sky and water.
Brushes:three of them. The wide brush for sky and water, the medium for cobbles and walls, the fine for wheels, windows and the tower.
Guide:a paper chart of the design, so you can find the number for each area of the old building and the water without squinting at the canvas.
Optional:the wooden frame to assemble pulls the canvas taut before you start on the red bodywork.
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 red Ferrari on a quayside?
40x40 cm keeps the square framing of the scene and stays clear enough for the wheels and the tower. 30x40 cm suits a narrow wall if space is tight. 50x70 cm or 60x80 cm open up the cobbles and the clouds, and the tower details get easier to place.
Is the picture difficult to paint?
The level is intermediate. Sky, water and cobbles are medium areas that fill quickly; the red bodywork, the wheels and the windows carry the fine work. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you pick, spread over several evenings.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For someone who likes sports cars and harbour scenes. A Ferrari fan gets the car onto the wall by painting it, and a painter gets a subject with a strong red centre and plenty of grey around it. The kit holds the canvas, the paints and the brushes.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Match each numbered area on the canvas to the same number on the paint pot and fill it with a thin layer. Work from the largest blocks to the smallest: sky, water, cobbles, building, then the car. Let an area dry before your hand rests near it.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Load the fine brush lightly for the bodywork so the red stops at the printed line. Two thin coats sit flatter than one thick coat. Dry the bristles on kitchen paper before you move from red to beige, and the pale greys stay clean.
