Jupiter Mosaic Planet in Deep Space Paint by Numbers

A space paint by numbers of Jupiter

This space paint by numbers shows Jupiter against a dark, deep space background. The planet is covered in swirling cloud bands, and the Great Red Spot sits among them. Burnt orange, cream and gold make up much of the planet's surface. Teal and deep blue run through the bands and settle into the sky around it. Distant spiral galaxies and scattered bright stars fill the night behind the planet. The whole picture has a pixelated mosaic texture, so each area is built from small blocks of colour. The level of detail is high, with plenty of surface markings to work through. If you are looking for paint by numbers planets, this one rewards patient, steady painting. The finished picture has a strong contrast between the glowing planet and the dark sky. You receive a printed linen canvas with numbered outlines, numbered acrylic paint pots, three brushes and a paper guide, with free UK delivery.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the dark blue sky, since it covers the largest area and gives you a clean edge to work against. Move on to the planet's cloud bands one band at a time, so that neighbouring colours do not smudge. Use the fine brush for the Great Red Spot, the small mosaic blocks and the bright stars. The medium brush suits the wider cloud bands, and the large brush is best for open areas of sky. Because the picture has many small shapes, we would choose the 36 or 48 colour option, which gives more shades in the planet's surface. Let each section dry before painting beside it, and keep the paper guide close to check the numbers. Smaller sizes are quicker to finish, while larger sizes make the mosaic blocks easier to paint.
