Girl in the Bath with a Tabby Cat Paint by Numbers

Girl in the bath with a tabby cat paint by numbers

A child sits in the bath while a tabby and white cat rests against the rim. Water droplets fall above her, and the shelf behind holds soft toys and two bath bottles. A pink towel hangs to one side. White, pink, brown and beige carry most of the canvas, with light blue for the water. The cartoon outlines stay open enough for the cat's stripes and the bottles to read at 30x40 cm. Landscape format gives the bath and the shelf room across the width.

The level is intermediate. Large light areas cover most of the canvas, and the fine work comes down to the whiskers, the droplets and the bottle reflections. It sits in our paint by numbers for kids and beginners range, so a younger painter can take the bath and the tiles alone and ask for help on the cat.

Tips for painting this design

Block in the large light areas first: the bath, the tiles, the towel. Keep the cat's whiskers, the water droplets and the reflections on the bottles for the end, once the paint underneath is dry. The tabby coat is the fiddly part, so follow the stripes one at a time and keep the brown and beige apart where they meet. For the water, lay the light blue first, then add the stronger touches on top. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. If the cat is the part you want, our cat paint by numbers designs put it on its own canvas.

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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the child in the bath, the tabby and white cat, the falling droplets and the shelf with the soft toys.
• Paint:Numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, in the white, pink, brown, beige and blue of the scene. 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option.
• Brushes:Three. The fine one for the whiskers and the droplets, the medium for the girl, the wide one for the bath and the tiles.
• Guide:The paper guide shows the design smaller, so you can check the numbers for the toys and the bottles before you paint.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble keeps the finished canvas flat on the wall. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
