Gekko Lifting a Big Rock Paint by Numbers

Gekko Lifting a Big Rock Paint by Numbers: the PJ Masks trio in a park

Gekko lifts a big grey rock in the middle of a park while Catboy, in his blue costume, and Owlette, in her red outfit, stand beside him. Green trees line the scene and white clouds dot the blue sky. Green, blue and red dominate the picture, so each costume stands out clearly from the background. The cartoon has a low level of detail and the colour areas stay large. Every numbered area matches one shade in the kit, and you apply the acrylic paint straight onto the printed linen canvas.

Tips for painting this design

Begin with the blue sky and the white clouds to set the background. Paint the green trees next, then move on to the three characters. Keep the green, blue and red of the costumes unmixed so each hero keeps a clean, bold colour. The grey rock sits in the centre of the design, and the wide brush covers that large area quickly. Use the fine brush for the costume outlines and the medium brush for the trees. The picture is square, so the 30x30 cm and 40x40 cm sizes match its shape. Smaller sizes keep the outlines readable because the design has so little fine detail.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. We dispatch within 48 hours. If you like the clear outlines of this one, our PJ Masks paint by numbers range has more scenes with the same heroes. For a first kit with large areas to fill, see paint by numbers for kids and beginners.
