Grey cat and orange lilies paint by numbers: a still life in chiaroscuro
A grey tabby long-haired cat stands beside a porcelain vase with blue patterns, filled with orange lilies. The scene is lit in chiaroscuro: a dark blue velvet drape fills the background and a dark wooden table holds a bowl of fruit. The orange of the flowers, the grey of the fur and the blue of the vase and fabric dominate, with greens for the stems and browns for the wood. The portrait format follows the vertical composition. The kit is rated advanced and has many fine details, so it suits someone who has already finished a canvas or two. If you like feline subjects, our cat paint by numbers range has more designs.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the background: the dark blue drape and the wooden table, in two coats for depth. Paint the vase and its blue patterns next, then the bowl of fruit. Leave the cat's fur until last. The grey areas need soft transitions between light and shadow, so work in small strokes. The lilies need the most care, especially the centre of each flower. Choose 40x50 cm or larger if you want room for the fur and the vase patterns.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit with 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. If you also like floral subjects, see our flower paint by numbers.

Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots contain the orange, grey, blue, green and brown shades seen in the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the cat's whiskers and the lily veins, the medium for the vase, the large for the dark background.
Guide:The paper guide helps you place the numbers on the cat's fur and the lily petals.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas for painting the cat, the vase and the dark wooden table.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this cat and lily painting?
40x50 cm gives a good balance between the cat's fur and the details of the vase. 30x40 cm works for a first try, but the blue porcelain patterns will be tighter to paint.
Is this design difficult to paint?
The level of detail is high. The grey tabby fur and the vase patterns call for precision. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size and colour option you choose.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits cat lovers and fans of classic still lifes. Someone who already paints and wants a scene with light and shadow will also enjoy it.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the background: the dark blue drape and the wooden table, in two coats for depth. Then the vase and its blue patterns, followed by the bowl of fruit. Keep the cat's fur and the orange lilies for the end.
What is the paint by numbers technique?
Paint the areas one by one, following the numbers on the canvas. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of each area. Work in small strokes for the soft transitions of the grey fur. The orange lilies need the most attention, especially the centre of the flowers.
