A blue house with hens paint by numbers kit to paint yourself
The blue front of the cottage sits on the left, a wooden fence closes the foreground and four hens peck in the grass. Yellow flowers line the path, a leafy tree fills the right side and a brick chimney rises above the roof. The impressionist style builds the greens from small strokes, so you never have to blend. The palette is blue, yellow, green, brown and white, and the portrait format suits a hallway or a kitchen wall. It is an intermediate level kit, with medium areas and some fine details. Allow 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. If you like garden scenes, our flower paint by numbers range has more.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky and the tree foliage, as these are the largest areas. Keep the blue front and the fence for the end: their planks need clean edges. Paint the hens with the fine brush, one colour at a time, and do not let white and brown meet while wet. Add the yellow flowers last, in small strokes. Choose 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm for this level of detail, because below that the hens' feathers are hard to define.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 12 sizes, from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. 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 hours depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the outlines and numbers of the blue house, the hens and the garden.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots hold the blues, yellows, greens, browns and whites for painting the house, the hens and the flowers.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the details of the hens and yellow flowers, the medium for the fence, the broad one for the sky and grass.- Check sheet: The paper check sheet of the design helps you check the numbers of the areas for the house, the trees and the hens.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas before painting the blue house and its garden.
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 blue house with hens?
30x40 cm works well for a first picture: the hens and the fence stay clear. 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm leaves more room for the yellow flowers and the foliage. 20x30 cm squeezes the details.
Are the hens and the fence difficult to paint?
The detail is medium. The hens need the fine brush to separate the white from the brown. The wooden fence is painted in vertical bands, without mixing. The rest is done with the medium brush.
Who is this farm picture to paint a good gift for?
It suits people who like country scenes and farmyard animals, or someone who grew up on a farm. The kit comes boxed, with your choice of size and number of colours.
How do you use the paint by numbers kit?
Paint the large areas of sky and foliage first. Keep the blue front and the fence for the end, with clean edges. The hens are done with the fine brush, one colour at a time. The paper check sheet helps you check the numbers of the areas.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the sky and the tree foliage, the largest areas. Then paint the blue front and the fence, then the hens with the fine brush. Add the yellow flowers last, in small strokes.
