Tom and Jerry Kitchen Chase Paint by Numbers

The Tom and Jerry Kitchen Chase Paint by Numbers scene

Tom is mid-leap above the tiled floor while Jerry balances on a red saucepan with a wooden spoon, and flour has spilled across a frying pan. Brown wooden units and beige drawers run along the back wall, which gives you broad areas to fill with the medium brush. The printed linen canvas carries every outline and number, and the ready-to-use acrylics cover the browns, beiges, greys, yellows and reds of the room. Most shapes are medium sized, with fine details around Jerry's face, the spoon and the flour.

Tips for painting this design

Block in the cupboards and the beige floor first, then Tom's grey body; the wide brush covers those areas quickly and shows you where the light falls. Switch to the fine brush for Tom's yellow eyes, his whiskers and Jerry's outline against the saucepan. The white flour and the pale pan need two thin coats so the printed numbers stop showing. This Tom and Jerry Kitchen Chase paint by numbers runs from around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size, so a 30x30 cm square is a few evenings and a 60x80 cm one is a longer project.

This design sits in our paint by numbers for kids and beginners range, and you will find more food scenes in kitchen and food paint by numbers. Hang the finished canvas in a kitchen, a playroom or a bedroom; it also makes a birthday present for a young fan of the cartoon who is ready for an intermediate design.

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.
