Red Poppy Close Up in a Field Paint by Numbers

Red poppy close up in a field paint by numbers: what you paint

A large red poppy opens the foreground, with its green stem and foliage. Behind it, more red flowers recede towards the horizon. The sun sinks behind the field line and sends yellow rays across the sky, while the clouds shift from orange to gold above the hills. Green stems run through the whole lower part of the canvas. The landscape format leaves room for the horizon and the bands of light. Every area carries a number, from the red of the central poppy to the gold of the sky. This is an advanced, realistic design with many fine details, so it suits painters who already have a few kits behind them. Our flower paint by numbers range has other floral subjects if you want to compare.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky, from pale blue towards orange, so the gradients go down first. Then paint the sun and its rays, followed by the horizon line. Leave the large foreground poppy until last: its red petals need a steady hand and the fine brush. The green foliage mixes several shades, so follow the numbers without blending. A 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm size shows the bands of light in the sky well.

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 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the outlines and numbers of the poppy field, from the large red poppy to the setting sun.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots hold the reds, greens, orange, yellow and gold seen in the sky and flowers.
• Brushes:The three brushes, fine, medium and wide, are for painting the stems, poppy petals and rays of light.
• Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers for the golden sky and green field areas.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the poppy field canvas so you can paint the details. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
