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.
Red and yellow fruit basket paint by numbers: what you paint
Cherries on their stalks, strawberries with their seeds, apricots and peaches fill a wicker basket on a red and white checked tablecloth. The fruit sits close together, so you switch between reds, oranges, yellows and pinks within a few brush widths.
The basket weave and the cloth checks are the widest areas; the stalks and seeds are the smallest. The design is intermediate level and takes around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. The reds and yellows suit a kitchen or dining room wall.
More table scenes sit in our food paint by numbers kits, and flower paint by numbers covers the same still-life approach with blooms.
Tips for painting this design
Work the red lines of the checked cloth first and leave the white squares until the edges are dry. Then the basket weave, from dark browns to lighter ones, and the fruit last so the cherries, apricots and peaches keep clean edges. The fine brush handles the stalks and seeds, the wide one the checks. On 15x15 cm and 15x20 cm canvases the seeds crowd together, so choose 40x40 cm or larger. The 36 colour option gives enough pinks and oranges for the peaches without mixing.
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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What the kit contains
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the wicker basket, the fruit and the checked tablecloth.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the red of the cherries, the orange of the apricots and the pink of the peaches.
Brushes:Three brushes: fine for the cherry stalks and strawberry seeds, medium and wide for the basket and the cloth.
Guide:The paper guide gives the numbers for the browns of the weave and the yellows of the peaches.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble holds the canvas once finished, otherwise it arrives rolled.
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 keep the canvas taut while you paint, and the finished fruit basket hangs straight on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this fruit basket?
Square sizes keep the layout of the design. A 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm canvas holds the basket and the fruit in the original proportions, and 40x40 cm leaves room for the cherry stalks and strawberry seeds. Go up to 50x50 cm or larger if you want those details easy to paint.
Are the strawberry seeds and cherry stalks difficult to paint?
They are the smallest marks on the canvas and need the fine brush from the kit. The design is rated intermediate, so the rest is medium-sized areas. From 30x30 cm upwards the seeds and stalks stay clear enough to paint comfortably.
How long does this painting take?
Around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you order. The checked cloth and the basket weave take most of that time because they repeat, while the fruit moves quickly once the reds and yellows are open. A small canvas sits at the lower end of the range, a 60x80 cm one at the top.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
This one suits anyone who likes still life and kitchen subjects, and it works as a gift for someone who cooks and wants a picture for the kitchen wall. The intermediate level means you have painted before, or you are happy to slow down on the small details.
