- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.

A crystal cave paint by numbers picture, painted number by number
This fantasy paint by numbers design shows an underground cave filled with giant crystals. A wooden mine cart stands on winding metal rails. The crystals fill the centre and the walls: electric blue, emerald green and purple. Grey and brown rock frames these coloured areas. Stalactites hang from the ceiling and rock formations line the rails. The square format keeps the mine cart in the foreground and the crystals in the background. The detail is high: every crystal facet has its own number. The kit contains the printed canvas, numbered paint pots, three brushes and the control sheet.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the grey and brown rock walls: they give you reference points for placing the crystals. Then paint the blue crystals, followed by the green and purple ones, keeping a fine brush for the edges. The light facets need precision: apply the paint in one coat, without going over it again. The wooden mine cart comes after the rails, which are finer. Given the detail, choose 40x40 cm or larger and the 36 colour option to tell the blues and purples apart.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, 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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the giant crystals, the mine cart and the rock walls of the cave.
Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots contain the electric blue, emerald green, purple, wood brown and stone grey of the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the sparkling highlights and the rails, the medium one for the crystals, the broad one for the rock walls.
Guide:The paper control sheet helps you check the numbers for the stalactite and rock formation areas.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the printed canvas of the glowing cave. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it 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 crystal cave?
The detail is high, especially on the facets and the rails. Take 40x40 cm minimum to keep the areas wide enough. 50x50 cm works if you want to paint the crystals without pushing the fine brush too hard.
Are the crystals difficult to paint?
They need care: every facet has its own number and the blues, greens and purples are close together. The 36 colour option helps you tell the shades apart. Allow 20 to 40 h depending on the size you choose.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
For people who like fantasy settings and underground games. The mine cart and crystals also appeal to model makers. The kit suits a gift for an adult who already paints or who is starting with a detailed design.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
