Tom and Jerry Cheese Kitchen Paint by Numbers

Tom and Jerry cheese kitchen paint by numbers for a cartoon wall

Tom is mid-leap towards Jerry, who is already running along the worktop past a wedge of Emmental and an upturned spoon. Pale green cupboards and a metal sink fill the background, so the two characters keep the attention. The palette runs on Tom's grey fur, Jerry's beige-brown body, the yellow cheese and the light green woodwork, which keeps the mixing simple. The level is intermediate, with medium areas and several fine details. Hung in a kitchen, the canvas matches the room it shows; for a second food-themed canvas, look at our kitchen and food paint by numbers designs.

Tips for painting this design

Block in the light green cupboard panels and the tiled splashback with the wide brush, then Tom's grey fur, then Jerry's smaller body and the holes in the cheese. Save the whiskers and the eyes for the fine brush, once the surrounding grey has dried. Sizes run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm: 40x40 cm keeps the square composition intact and still leaves room for the faces, while the smaller formats in our paint by numbers for kids and beginners range suit a first attempt. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you pick.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit with 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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:Linen canvas with the outlines and numbers printed over Tom, Jerry, the cheese and the kitchen cupboards.
• Paint:Numbered acrylics, ready to use, covering Tom's grey, Jerry's beige, the yellow of the cheese, the light green cupboards and the brown worktop. Pick 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option.
• Brushes:Three brushes: fine for the whiskers and the cheese holes, medium for the character outlines, wide for the cupboard panels.
• Guide:Paper guide to the design, so you can check the number of any kitchen or character area before you load the brush.
• Optional:Wooden frame to assemble if you want the canvas stretched tight before you start painting. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
