iWhat does this level mean?
- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.

Blue Cow on a Cloud Paint by Numbers: a baby cow asleep under a starry sky
A baby cow sleeps on a cloud with a flower crown on her head. Her coat is light blue with embroidered flowers, her muzzle pink, and the night blue sky around her fills with stars and small white clouds. The areas are broad and the outlines clearly marked, so a child or a first-time painter spends little time hunting for numbers. The portrait canvas keeps the cow centred, which suits a nursery wall or the back of a bedroom door. Everything arrives on printed linen canvas, with numbered acrylic pots and three brushes. Allow around 8 to 20 hours depending on the size you choose.
Tips for painting this design
Paint the night blue sky first: it is the largest area and the wide brush covers it in a few passes. Then the white cloud, then the light blue body of the cow. Keep the pink muzzle and the flowers for last, with the fine brush and two thin coats rather than one thick one, so the colour sits flat. The stars go on at the very end with the brush tip. A 30x40 or 40x50 cm canvas suits this level of detail; below that size the flowers on the coat turn fiddly.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The blue cow on a cloud paint by numbers kit comes in 9 sizes from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, with 24, 36 or 48 colours. 24 colours cover the flat sky and cloud; 36 or 48 give the embroidered flowers and the shadows in the cloud more depth. Choose rolled canvas or a wooden frame to assemble. The design sits in our paint by numbers for kids and beginners range, and the animal range holds highland cow paint by numbers canvases if you want a shaggier subject.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries outlines and numbers for the sleeping blue cow, the cloud and the starry sky.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and hold the light blue, midnight blue, white, pink and brown of the coat, the cloud and the muzzle.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the stars and the embroidered flowers, the medium for the muzzle and horns, the wide for the sky and the cloud.
Guide:The paper guide lists the number of each area, including the white horns and the flower crown.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch and hang the night sky with its floating clouds. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
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.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this blue cow?
30x40 cm suits a child or a beginner: the cloud and the sky stay wide and the flowers stay workable. 40x50 cm gives the stars and the embroidered coat more room. 20x30 cm work too, but the muzzle and the flowers turn small for a fine brush.
Are the details difficult to paint?
No. The sky, the cloud and the body are large flat areas, and only the muzzle, the flowers and the stars call for the fine brush. The printed numbers and the paper guide tell you which pot goes where. 24 colours are enough for a first canvas.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
For a child of 8 or over, a teenager, or an adult who likes cartoon animals. The broad areas keep a young painter going, and the starry sky works on a nursery wall. It also makes a shared afternoon project for two people.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Start with the night blue sky and the wide brush, then the white cloud, then the light blue body of the cow. Leave the pink muzzle and the flowers until last, in two thin coats with the fine brush. Finish with the stars and the brush tip.
