A dolphin paint by numbers leaping above the ocean
A dolphin passes through a ring of warm colours in this paint by numbers picture. The animal sits at the centre of the canvas, its body blue-grey, dorsal fin raised, mouth open over the water. Around it, a circle forms in a gradient of orange, pink and purple, like a sunset closing over the sea. The ocean ripples in bands of turquoise and deep blue beneath the jump. White splashes and golden reflections mark the surface of the water. The sky stays simple, in an orange gradient, so the dolphin and the ring draw the eye. The square format balances the jump at the centre with the waves below.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the colourful ring: the orange, pink and purple bands need clean transitions, so paint each segment before moving to the next. Keep the dolphin for the end, its blue-grey body is worked in flat areas then in lighter reflections along the back. The white splashes go on with the fine brush, without thinning the paint. Choose a 30x40 cm size or larger: the medium detail of the jump and the waves deserves the space, a 15x15 cm squeezes the outlines too tightly.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the leaping dolphin, the colourful ring and the rippling ocean.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the orange, pink, purple, turquoise blue and golden yellow of the sky and the ring.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the dolphin's outlines and the splashes, the medium for the ring, the broad for the graded sky.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers of the bright reflections on the water and the orange sky.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas of the jumping dolphin, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube.
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.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this dolphin?
A 30x40 cm or a 40x40 cm suits the medium detail of the jump and the waves. The square format keeps the original composition. Below 20x30 cm, the splashes and reflections become difficult to place.
Are the dolphin's details difficult to paint?
The dolphin's body stays in broad flat areas. The delicate parts are the colourful ring, with its shifts of shade, and the white splashes. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size you choose.
Who is this paint kit for?
For fans of sea animals and for people who have started painting recently. The design reads quickly and the large areas forgive small slips. The kit can be given as it is, with the rolled canvas and the guide.
How do you paint by numbers?
Paint the colourful ring first, segment by segment, keeping clean transitions between orange, pink and purple. Keep the dolphin for the end: flat blue-grey areas then lighter reflections along the back. Put the white splashes on with the fine brush, without thinning the paint.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Follow the order on the sheet: colourful ring first, dolphin next, white splashes last with the fine brush. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of the areas. Choose a 30x40 cm size or larger, as a 15x15 cm squeezes the outlines of the jump and the waves too tightly.
