Café and Croissant on a Terrace Paint by Numbers

- Sizes20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes)
- Time~12 to 30 h depending on size
- KitLinen canvas · 24/36/48 paint pots · 3 brushes
Difficulty level : Advanced
iWhat does this level mean?
- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
A café and croissant on a terrace paint by numbers to paint yourself
A black coffee on a white saucer, a golden croissant and a pot of red geraniums beside a wrought iron chair: that is the centre of this Café and Croissant on a Terrace paint by numbers kit. Coloured umbrellas fill the background above the neighbouring tables. Medium areas cover the umbrellas, the table top and the wall, with finer work on the petals, the cup rim and the chair scrolls.
The design sits at intermediate level and takes roughly 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. Reds, greens, yellows and blues keep the finished canvas bright, and the square format suits a kitchen or dining room wall.
Tips for painting this design
Work from the back forwards: fill the umbrellas and the wall, then the table top and the chair. Leave the cup, saucer and croissant until the surrounding paint is touch-dry, or your hand smudges the plate. The geranium petals are the smallest shapes, so load the fine brush lightly and dab rather than drag. A thin coat of white hides the printed numbers on the saucer better than a thick one.

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.
Kit contents
Canvas:Printed linen canvas with the outlines and numbers of the umbrellas, cup and croissant.
Paint:Numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, covering the reds, greens, yellows, blues and browns of the terrace.
Brushes:Three brushes, the fine one for the cup rim and petals, the wide one for the umbrellas.
Guide:Paper guide with the colour chart and every number.
Optional:Wooden frame to assemble if you want the canvas stretched. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
With frame
Wooden stretcher bars keep the linen taut, so you paint on a firm surface and hang the finished terrace straight 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.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for the café terrace design?
The design is square, so 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm gives the numbers room. At 20x30 cm the geranium petals and the chair scrolls are too cramped to read. Go bigger if the painting will hang where you stand back from it.
How much detail is there to paint?
Medium. The umbrellas, the table top and the wall are broad areas for the wide brush. The fine brush comes out for the geranium petals, the cup rim and the scrolls of the wrought iron chair. It suits painters who have finished a kit or two.
Does the kit include the colours for the umbrellas?
Reds, greens, yellows, blues, browns and whites come as numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, and the option you pick holds 24, 36 or 48 colours. The paper guide shows where each number sits on the umbrellas, the table and the saucer.
