Smiling Australian Shepherd at the bar paint by numbers
A black, white and tan dog rests its two front paws on a varnished wooden bar counter, smiling beside a large glass of blonde beer topped with white foam. The background is a dark, traditional pub lit with amber and golden reflections. The palette runs from the warm brown of the wood and the deep black of the coat to the ochre of the drink. The light fur on the chest stands out against the dim setting, so the boundaries between colours are easy to follow as you paint.
Tips for painting this design
This realistic portrait is rated intermediate. Most areas are medium-sized, with some fine details on the face. Begin with the dark background to set the pub scene. Paint the wooden counter and the glass next, leaving the white foam until the amber beneath is dry. Finish with the coat, using the fine brush for the white and brown hairs of the muzzle. Expect roughly 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. The 40x50 cm size in 36 colours renders the expression of the muzzle and the shading of the coat well.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. 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 Australian Shepherd and the bar counter, with numbers for each area of fur and wood.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the brown, golden, white, black and amber tones seen on the dog, the beer and the setting.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the whiskers and the reflections in the foam, the medium for the coat, the large for the counter and the dimly lit background.
Guide:The paper guide to the design lets you check the numbers for the areas of the dog, the glass of beer and the paws on the counter.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas so you can paint the bar, the Australian Shepherd and the beer without creases.
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 finished picture on the wall.
