Tom and Jerry Living Room with Wooden Clock Paint by Numbers

Tom and Jerry living room with wooden clock paint by numbers: what you paint

Our Tom and Jerry living room with wooden clock paint by numbers kit sets the pair mid-chase across an oriental rug, with a dark longcase clock standing against the panelled wall. Burgundy armchairs, a coffee table, a chandelier and framed pictures fill the rest of the room, so no area is left blank. Brown, burgundy, grey, beige and gold carry the palette. The cat, the mouse and the clock face are the smallest zones on the canvas, which is what makes the finished scene read as a cartoon still.

Tips for painting this design

Block in the flat background first: beige walls, dark panelling, then the floor. The burgundy armchairs and the patterned rug come next and give the scene its contrast. Save Tom, Jerry and the clock face for the end, when the fine brush can follow Jerry's whiskers and Tom's expression without wet paint underneath. The rug and the framed pictures hold many small areas, which is why we list this design as advanced; choose 40x40 cm or larger so the numbers stay legible. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

As a gift it suits a Tom and Jerry fan who wants a project that lasts several evenings. Take the wooden frame option and the canvas stretches on bars you assemble yourself, so the finished chase can hang in a child's bedroom or along a hallway wall. The design sits in our paint by numbers for kids and beginners collection, and younger painters will need a hand with the rug patterns. Other cartoon characters are gathered in our heroes and licences paint by numbers range.
