A floating island castle paint by numbers to paint yourself
A floating island carries a stone castle with waterfalls pouring from it into the clouds. This fantasy paint by numbers shows a stone bridge, rocks covered in green and a blue sky streaked with white. Grey dominates the castle walls, brown marks the ridges and walkways. The square format keeps the island in the centre of the frame. The printed canvas carries the outlines and numbers, with 24, 36 or 48 acrylic paint pots depending on the option chosen. Three brushes and a paper reference chart complete the kit. Allow around 20 to 40 hours of work depending on the size you pick.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the blue sky and white clouds: these large areas are painted with the wide brush and give the painting its light straight away. Then move on to the rocks and green vegetation, then the waterfalls, keeping pure white for the water. The stone castle needs the most attention: the greys and browns are close together, so check the number on the chart before every stroke. On a design this detailed, choose 30x30 cm minimum, or 40x40 cm if you want to paint the stones without straining.
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 hours depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the floating island, the stone castle and the waterfalls into the clouds.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the sky blue, stone grey, green, white and brown seen on the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the details of the castle and bridge, the medium for the rocks, the wide for the sky and clouds.
Guide:The paper chart of the design helps you check the numbers for the sky, waterfall and rock areas.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the printed canvas of the suspended island. 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 finished 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 floating island?
The detail is high, especially on the castle stones and the waterfalls. Take 30x30 cm as a minimum to keep areas you can paint. 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm works better if you want to tackle the rocks and bridge without too fine a brush.
Are the waterfalls and castle difficult to paint?
The waterfalls are painted in white and light blue, with crisp edges: work with the fine brush. The castle means telling several greys and browns apart. The paper chart shows each number, which limits mistakes in these areas.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For people who like fantasy landscapes and castle scenes. The square format and clear subject make it an easy gift to read for a patient adult or teenager. Allow 20 to 40 hours of painting depending on the size chosen.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
On this painting, start with the blue sky and white clouds, painted with the wide brush. Then move on to the rocks and green vegetation, then the waterfalls, keeping pure white for the water. The stone castle comes last, with the paper chart to check the numbers for the greys and browns.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The sky and clouds are painted without difficulty. The waterfalls call for keeping the white pure, and the stone castle needs the most attention because the greys and browns are close together. Choose 30x30 cm minimum, or 40x40 cm to paint the stones without straining.
