Dog in a retro suit at the pub paint by numbers
A pointer wears a brown tweed waistcoat, a white shirt and a green bow tie. He sits at a wooden table with a glass of amber beer in front of him, and the wood panelling and lamps of an old tavern fill the background. The palette runs from brown and beige to white, amber and dark green. The portrait format suits a hallway, a snug or a corner of the dining room. It also makes a gift for anyone who loves dogs and a good pub. It belongs to our dog paint by numbers range.
Tips for painting this design
The level is intermediate: most areas are medium-sized, with some fine details. Fill the brown background first to set the depth of the room. Then use the fine brush for the short hairs on the muzzle and the tweed pattern. Paint the amber beer carefully so it does not run into the white highlights. The 40x50 cm size gives you enough room for the texture of the coat and the folds of the bow tie. Expect around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you choose.
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

Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the brown of the coat, the beige of the muzzle, the white of the shirt and the dark green of the bow tie.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the pointer's hairs and the highlights on the glass, the medium for the waistcoat, the large for the pub background.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you place the numbers on the wooden table and the dog's front paws.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this dog in a suit design?
The 40x50 cm size shows the texture of the waistcoat and the details of the head clearly. The 50x70 cm and 60x80 cm sizes give you more room on the dark areas of the pub, which helps if you find small zones fiddly.
Which parts are the trickiest to paint?
The pointer's eyes, the buttons on the waistcoat and the froth on the glass of beer have narrow areas. The fine brush included in the kit lets you follow the precise edges without mixing the colours.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
This design suits lovers of hunting dogs and people who like the look of traditional taverns. Beginners can manage it thanks to the clearly outlined areas, though it is rated intermediate because of the fine details.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Paint the brown background areas first for depth. Then use the fine brush for the hairs on the muzzle and the tweed. Work the amber liquid in contrasts without spilling over onto the white highlights. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of the areas.
