Anemone Bouquet in a Bucket Paint by Numbers

Anemone bouquet in a bucket paint by numbers: pink flowers on a rustic chair

Pink anemones with black centres sit beside yellow and orange ranunculus in a galvanised bucket with a wooden handle. The bucket stands on a distressed wooden chair with flaking paint, against a rustic background, and variegated green foliage spills over its rim. Pink, green, grey and sky blue dominate, with yellow and beige on the wood. The portrait format has medium areas and some fine details, so it suits you if you have already finished a simpler kit. Outlines and numbers are printed on the linen canvas, and each paint pot matches one area. For more floral designs, see our flower paint by numbers collection.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the background and the chair back in beige and grey, which clears the large light areas first. Then paint the metal bucket. Its grey and sky blue reflections need clean strokes, so avoid blending two neighbouring numbers. Leave the pink anemones for later: paint the black centre of each flower, then the petals. Finish with the yellow and orange ranunculus on dry canvas, so the colours stay separate. The 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm size gives enough room for the medium level of detail.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 9 sizes, from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. You choose a kit with 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 hours depending on the size. If you also like bright blooms in a different style, our sunflower paint by numbers range is worth a look.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the outlines of the pink anemones and the bucket on the chair.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the pink of the anemones, the yellow of the ranunculus and the grey of the bucket.
• Brushes:The fine brush traces the black centres of the anemones, the medium brush covers the leaves, and the large brush paints the background.
• Guide:The paper guide helps you place the numbers for the pink petals and the chair rails.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas so you can paint the bouquet and chair without creases. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
