Golden retriever puppy and reflection paint by numbers
A young puppy sits on a black background and looks at its reflection in a puddle. The water returns the head of an adult dog with a longer coat, so you paint the same animal at two ages. Golden and beige tones dominate both coats, and the adult's open mouth shows a pink tongue. Ripples in the water slightly distort the lower outlines. The flat black behind the two light silhouettes gives the picture its strong contrast. It is a realistic portrait-format design, rated intermediate, with medium areas and some fine details.
Tips for painting this design
Fill the large black areas of the background first. They set the frame and are quick to cover with the wide brush. Paint the puppy's coat next, laying down the light beige before adding the golden shadows. Use the fine brush for the ripples at the bottom so the horizontal lines stay clean and do not cross into neighbouring areas. Plan on around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. If you like dog portraits, our dog paint by numbers collection has more breeds and poses. The 40x50 cm size keeps the fur details readable.
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.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the golden retriever puppy, its reflection as an adult dog and the ripples in the water.
Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots contain the black, gold, beige, white and pink seen on the puppy and the water.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the pink tongue and the fur, the medium brush for the reflection, the large brush for the black background.
Guide:The paper guide lets you check the numbers of the areas for the puppy, the reflection and the water ripples.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas of the puppy and its reflection so you can paint flat. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint 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.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this dog design?
The 40x50 cm size gives enough room for the strands of fur and the ripples in the reflection. Smaller sizes make the eyes and nose tighter to paint. Sizes run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm.
How difficult are the water details?
The ripples need a steady hand with the fine brush. The kit is rated intermediate. The numbers and outlines printed on the linen canvas keep each area clearly marked.
How many colours can I choose?
You can choose 24, 36 or 48 colours. A higher count gives more shades in the golden coat and the shadows of the reflection, but it also means more numbers to follow on the canvas.
Who is this dog picture for?
It suits retriever owners and anyone who likes realistic animal portraits. The puppy facing its adult self also makes a thoughtful gift for a dog lover.
