Peppa Pig and George in a Red Car Paint by Numbers

Peppa Pig and George in a Red Car Paint by Numbers: the Scene on the Canvas

Four pink pigs sit in a red convertible, with the black steering wheel in front of them. Round black glasses cover one face. A light blue sky and white clouds fill the top of the canvas, green grass runs along the bottom, and the round headlights stand out against the plain background. The shapes are wide and the detail is low, so the numbers stay readable even on the smallest size. That makes the design a workable first canvas for a beginner or for a child painting alongside an adult. The rest of our Peppa Pig paint by numbers range uses the same printed linen and the same numbered pots.

Tips for painting this design

Block in the sky and the clouds with the wide brush, then the green grass along the bottom edge. Move to the red bodywork with the medium brush and paint the pink faces after it: red and pink meet along the doors, and the darker red covers the line between them once it has dried. Keep the fine brush for the steering wheel, the glasses and the round headlights, where the numbers sit close together. A 30x30 cm size or larger gives your hand room across the wide areas.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 9 sizes, from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, on rolled canvas. You choose 24, 36 or 48 paint pots and whether to add a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 8 to 20 hours depending on the size. A 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm canvas gives Peppa and George enough presence for a child's bedroom wall, and the square format keeps the proportions of the cartoon. For an even easier first canvas, our paint by numbers for kids and beginners range keeps the areas broad.

What the kit contains

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers for the four characters, the red car and the blue sky.
• Paint:The numbered pots hold the pink of the pigs, the red of the bodywork, the blue of the sky and the green of the grass, ready to use.
• Brushes:The fine brush covers the glasses and the steering wheel, the medium brush the headlights, the wide brush the sky and the grass.
• Guide:The paper guide shows the finished cartoon so you can check the colours of the clouds and the car.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas once the paint is dry, if you add it to your kit. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
