Pitbull in a Suit at the Bar Paint by Numbers

Pitbull in a suit at the bar paint by numbers: what you will paint

A pitbull leans on a dark wooden bar in a pub. He wears a dark blue jacket, a white shirt and a tie with a geometric pattern. In front of him on the varnished counter sits a glass of amber beer with a white head of foam, and warm brown wood panelling fills the background. The dog looks straight out of the picture, which gives this realistic portrait its focal point. The palette of blue, brown, white, grey and amber works well in a portrait-format canvas for a kitchen, a living room or a corner with a home bar.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the large areas of the wooden background and the blue suit to lay down the main blocks. Switch to the fine brush for the dog's head, especially the folds of the muzzle, the eyes and the tie pattern. The beer needs more care: apply the amber first, then the white of the foam, so the glass keeps its transparent look. For sharper facial features, choose 40x50 cm or larger with 36 colours. The level is intermediate and a full painting takes around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.

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.

• Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots contain the blue of the suit, the white of the shirt, the amber of the beer and the brown of the bar.
