A Great Dane in a suit at the bar paint by numbers
A Great Dane in a dark grey suit rests his paw on a wooden bar counter. He wears a white shirt and a black tie, and a glass of golden beer topped with foam stands beside him. Behind him is the inside of a traditional pub lit by two gold wall lights. Brown, black and gold dominate the scene. Greys cover the dog's coat and jacket, and the lamp light reflects on the varnished counter.
Tips for painting this design
This is an intermediate, realistic design with mostly medium areas and some fine details. Start with the dark pub background and the wall lights to fix the contrasts. Then apply the greys of the jacket and coat, and cover the numbers on the shirt with the light colours, adding a second coat of white if the numbers show through. Use the fine brush for the whiskers and the foam on the glass. The 40x50 cm size with 36 colours keeps the folds of the fabric and the reflections on the counter sharp. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose to paint this Great Dane?
The 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm size works well for making out the dog's facial features and the outlines of the suit. Smaller sizes reduce the legibility of small areas such as the eyes, the tie and the reflections on the beer glass.
Does this design have any particular technical difficulties?
The level of detail is medium. The main difficulty lies in the even outlining of the tie and the white collar. Applying white over the numbers on the shirt sometimes needs a second coat of acrylic paint.
Who is this painting of a dog at the bar a good gift for?
This design suits animal lovers and Great Dane owners who enjoy humorous portraits. The traditional pub theme fits well in a living room, dining room or leisure space.
How do you paint by numbers?
First paint the dark background of the pub and the wall lights. Continue with the greys of the jacket and coat, then the light colours of the shirt. Use the fine brush for the whiskers and the foam on the glass. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of the areas.
How do you use the paint by numbers kit?
Each pot is numbered. Fill in the matching areas on the canvas following the order in the tips: pub background, wall lights, jacket, coat, shirt, then details with the fine brush. The paper guide lets you check the numbers, not the order of painting.
