Tom and Jerry in Space Paint by Numbers

Tom and Jerry in Space Paint by Numbers: What You Paint

Tom and Jerry float through a nebula with a small grey robot beside them. Jerry's brown fur and Tom's grey fur stay close to the cartoon, and the background runs from deep black through blue to purple, dotted with white stars. Rocky asteroids fill the lower part of the square canvas. That contrast helps once you start painting: pale stars and fur sit against dark space, so neighbouring sections stay easy to tell apart. Finished, the square picture suits a child's bedroom wall or a shelf in a study.

Tips for painting this design

Block in the black, blue and purple of the background first. Those sections are the largest on the canvas, and a flat base gives you a clean edge along the stars and the asteroids. Move on to the grey and brown rocks, then to Tom, Jerry and the robot. The figures carry the fine details, so switch to the fine brush for eyes and whiskers. Where a number still shows through a pale star, let the paint dry and add a second thin coat.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 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.

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the outlines of Tom, Jerry, the little robot and the asteroids, each area marked with its number.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and hold the black, blue, purple, grey and brown the scene needs.
• Brushes:The fine brush is for the faces of Tom and Jerry, the medium one for the asteroids and the wide one for the nebula.
• Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers on the cat, the mouse and the robot.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas before you paint the starry background. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.

Without frame

The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.

With frame

Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the picture on the wall.

Mounted canvas

The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.

What's in the kit

Twelve sizes run from 20x30 cm up to 60x80 cm, all square like the original scene. Small sizes squeeze the faces of Tom and Jerry into a few millimetres, so 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm leaves room for eyes and whiskers while the nebula still fills quickly. Count around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you pick. We rate the design intermediate: wide open background, tighter work on the characters.

Choose 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on how much shading you want in the nebula and the fur. The canvas arrives rolled, or with a wooden frame to assemble if you would rather stretch it first. We dispatch within 48 hours. Building confidence before you tackle the figures? Our paint by numbers for kids & beginners range keeps the sections larger, and the funny paint by numbers collection holds more cartoon scenes.
