Puppy in a Daisy Basket Paint by Numbers

Puppy in a daisy basket paint by numbers kit: a white puppy among daisies

The puppy fills the middle of the canvas, its white coat broken by light grey shadows around the ears, muzzle and paws. Daisies with bright yellow centres sit around the wicker basket, and a blurred foliage background runs behind them, with a strip of green grass across the foreground. Yellow, green, grey and black sit alongside plenty of white, so the flowers stand out against the fur. The portrait format keeps the basket centred and pushes the background to the edges, which leaves fewer wide areas to fill. Outlines are clean and the shading is simple, so each numbered shape stays readable on the linen. The design mixes medium areas with a few fine details rather than a canvas full of tiny sections, and it comes from our paint by numbers for kids & beginners range.

Tips for painting this design

Paint the wicker basket first: its light browns and grey shadows are the quickest way to fix the centre of the picture. Move on to the daisies, keeping the petals white and the centres bright yellow. The puppy's coat takes the most care. Alternate white, light grey and mid grey across the head, ears and paws so the fur reads as rounded instead of flat, and follow the printed outlines where the tones change. Leave the grass and the blurred foliage until last, once the subject is dry enough to judge them against. A 30x40 cm canvas covers this level of detail; step up to 40x50 cm if you want more room inside the coat. For the same subject in other poses, look at our dog paint by numbers designs.

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 carries the outlines of the puppy, the wicker basket and every daisy, with a number in each area.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots include the white for the coat, the greys for the ear and muzzle shadows, the greens for grass and foliage, and the yellows for the flower centres.
• Brushes:The fine brush handles the eye, muzzle and daisy centres, while the medium and wide brushes cover the basket, coat and background.
• Guide:The paper guide matches each number to its pot, so you can check the basket browns, the flower yellows and the greys of the fur before you start.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the linen tight before you paint the puppy and the daisies. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
