Beer Barrels in a Cellar Paint by Numbers

A beer barrel paint by numbers scene to paint yourself

This food paint by numbers scene shows a vaulted cellar with two large wooden barrels, a serving tap and amber tankards on the counter. Stone walls, bottle shelves and golden lanterns fill the background. Warm browns dominate, with amber reflections on the metal and deep blacks in the corners. The printed canvas marks each area with a number. You paint with the brushes supplied and the numbered acrylic pots. The square format puts the focus on the centre of the scene. The finished piece keeps the contrast between the gloom of the cellar and the light of the lanterns.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the large brown areas of the barrels and the flagstone floor. Keep the deep blacks for the end, as they mark the joints and shadows. The amber reflections on the tap and tankards need precision: use the fine brush and load it with little paint. If you choose 40x50 cm or larger, the stones of the vault and the bottle labels stay legible. At 30x30 cm, simplify the details of the shelves.

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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the wooden barrels, the beer tap and the stone vault.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the warm brown, amber, ochre, deep black and gold of the barrels and lanterns.
• Brushes:The fine brush is for the numbers on the bottle shelves, the medium for the tankards, the large for the vault.
• Guide:The printed paper guide helps you check the numbers of the barrels, the tap and the flagstone floor.
• Optional:Optionally, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the barrel canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
