Border collie in a top hat paint by numbers: a dog at the bar
A border collie sits at a wooden bar in a dark jacket and a small top hat. In front of him stand a glass of amber beer and a glass bottle. Soft lamps light a traditional pub behind him. His black and white coat stands out against the brown and golden tones of the wood. The realistic style splits the scene into medium areas with some fine details, such as the muzzle, the hat and the reflections in the glass.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the brown background and the black of the jacket, which set the structure of the picture. Then paint the white and black areas of the coat on the head with the fine brush. The golden reflections in the glass need clean edges if the beer is to look transparent. For the muzzle and the hat, choose the 40x50 cm size with 36 or 48 colours. This is an intermediate kit, so allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. If you prefer a gentler start, our easy paint by numbers range has simpler designs.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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.
