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.
Grey cat and iris vase paint by numbers: a realistic still life
A long-haired grey tabby cat stands beside a textured ceramic vase on a table draped in green. The bouquet mixes purple, yellow and white irises with green stems and leaves, and a few petals have fallen onto the cloth. The beige wall behind stays neutral. The cat's coat calls for greys and whites, the vase for brown and cream. The style is realistic and the portrait format keeps the proportions of the subject. If you like cats, our cat paint by numbers range has more designs to choose from.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the beige wall and the green drape, the largest areas. Leave the irises until last: each petal mixes purple, yellow and white over a small space. On the cat, follow the numbers carefully so the light and dark greys do not get mixed up. The level is advanced with many fine details, so allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. Choose 40x50 cm or larger for the long fur and fallen petals. If you are newer to painting, 20x30 cm keeps the detail more manageable.
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 shows the grey tabby cat, the ceramic vase and the multicoloured irises from the design.
Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots contain the green, purple, yellow, grey, white and brown seen in the picture.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the stems and petals, the medium one for the cat, the large one for the green drape and beige wall.
Guide:The paper guide lets you check the numbers for the areas of the cat, vase, irises and cloth.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas of the cat and iris bouquet; 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 cat and iris picture?
40x50 cm makes the cat's fur and the iris petals easy to read. Go for 50x70 cm or 60x80 cm to paint the greys comfortably. 20x30 cm is still possible for a first kit, and the range starts at 15x15 cm.
Is this design difficult to paint?
The level is advanced. The grey tabby cat's coat and the multicoloured irises have many small areas. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size you choose.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits people who like cats and classic still lifes. It also makes a gift for an adult who already paints, as the drape and wall give large areas to rest on between the fine details.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the beige wall and the green drape, the large areas. Leave the irises until last because each petal mixes purple, yellow and white over a small area. The paper guide helps you check the numbers for each area.
