Poppy Field Golden Horizon Paint by Numbers

Poppy field golden horizon paint by numbers: a sunset meadow to paint

Red poppies fill the lower part of the painting, with green stems and closed buds mixed into the grass. The open flowers sit in the foreground, larger and further apart. In the background they shrink and crowd together. Above them the sky runs from blue at the top to gold and orange at the horizon, with a few white clouds. The style is realistic and the format is landscape, which gives the wide scene room to breathe.

Each area carries a number on the linen canvas, matched to the numbered acrylic pots supplied. You choose 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option. This is an advanced level kit with many fine details. If you prefer flower subjects in general, our flower paint by numbers collection has more designs.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky. The blue to gold gradient needs clean passes, so avoid mixing two neighbouring tones on the same brush. Then paint the grass and the dark green stems, and finish with the red poppies. Red goes on in two coats if the green shows through. Keep the fine brush for the buds and for the small flowers in the background. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. We suggest 40x50 cm or larger, because below that the distant flowers are hard to make out.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
