Peppa Pig and George Kite Paint by Numbers

Peppa Pig and George kite paint by numbers

Peppa takes one side of the string and George the other while a diamond kite with coloured bows on its tail lifts above a green hill. Sky blue fills the top half of the linen canvas, grass green the bottom, the red of Peppa's dress and a yellow sun between them. Every area carries a number, so you match pot to number instead of mixing.

The shapes stay large across the scene. The smallest areas are the faces and the bows on the tail.

Tips for painting this design

Paint the sky first with the broad brush, in one pass: going back over dried acrylic shows as patches. Then the sun and clouds, keeping the white edges clean where they meet blue. Red goes on the dress and the kite last with the fine brush, and the green hill closes the bottom.

Pick a square size. 30x30 cm and 40x40 cm hold the composition as drawn; a rectangular canvas adds strips of sky or grass that carry no numbers. The kite string is the thinnest line on the canvas and blurs below 20x30 cm. Our paint by numbers kits for kids and beginners share the same printed layout.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 9 sizes from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, with 24, 36 or 48 colours. The 48-colour set adds shades for the sky; the 24-colour set covers the flat blocks. Rolled canvas arrives without a frame, and the wooden bars are worth assembling before you start so the linen stays taut. Allow around 8 to 20 hours, and we dispatch within 48 hours.

The rest of the Peppa Pig paint by numbers range uses the same numbered system, so your brushes carry over.
