Wheat Field and Poppies at Sunset Paint by Numbers

A wheat field and poppies paint by number kit with a purple dusk sky

A winding dirt path crosses a golden wheat field dotted with red poppies. Purple and orange clouds fill the upper half of the canvas. The style is impressionist, so the thick brushstrokes become small patches of colour that you fill number by number. The main colours are yellow, orange, red, purple and brown, and the composition is square. Detail is medium across the surface: the sky and the wheat give you wide areas, while the poppies and stems call for a steadier hand. The kit comes with ready-to-use numbered acrylic paint in 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option you choose, and the finished painting takes around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky at the top of the canvas. Apply the purple and orange shades first, then move down to the yellow tones of the wheat. Finish with the red poppies and the brown path in the foreground. The clouds need frequent brush changes where purple meets orange, so keep a clean brush to hand. Use the fine brush for the stems and isolated petals. On this wheat field and poppies paint by number kit, a 40x40 cm size or larger gives the small coloured areas more room. The warm yellows and reds suit a hallway or dining room wall. If you like this kind of scene, our landscape paint by numbers range has more countryside views, and our poppy designs offer more red flowers.

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.
