- 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.
Blastoise watercolour paint by numbers: shell and cannons seen from behind
Blastoise has its back to us, with a rounded brown shell and two water cannons pointing backwards. The blue skin fills the centre of the portrait canvas, the white claws show on the legs and the tail runs down towards the bottom edge. Beige and grey mark the highlights on the shell. Around the character, the white and blue background carries abstract spots and splashes. The outlines stay clear on the broad areas and on the scales, so the watercolour finish does not make the numbers harder to follow. The level is intermediate, with mostly medium areas and a few fine details. Browse more designs in our Pokémon paint by numbers collection.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the white and blue background. The watercolour spots go on as a light wash, so you do not need to be precise. Move on to the blue skin of the body, then the beige and grey highlights on the shell. Keep the dark brown and the white of the claws for the end, because they give the drawing its structure. On the water cannons, work in small flat patches, one at a time. A 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm size gives enough room for this level of detail.
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.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this Blastoise watercolour?
30x40 cm suits the medium level of detail here. 40x50 cm makes the background splashes easier to read. 20x30 cm works for a beginner, but the scales on the shell become small. The kit comes in 12 sizes, from 15x15 to 70x80 cm.
Are the details on the shell difficult to paint?
No. The shell is made of broad plates with clear printed outlines. The finer areas are the water cannons and the claws. Use the fine brush for these and the medium brush for the rest.
Who is this Blastoise canvas a good gift for?
It suits a Pokémon fan who likes watercolour finishes more than sharp lines. The portrait format sits well on a desk or a shelf. Allow around 12 to 30 hours of painting, depending on the size.
How do you paint by numbers?
Follow the numbers on the pots. Start with the white and blue background in a light wash, then the blue skin, the beige and the grey of the shell. Finish with the dark brown and the white of the claws. The paper chart helps you check each area.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Lay down the background washes without aiming for precision, then paint the blue skin and the beige and grey highlights. Save the dark brown and the white of the claws for the end. On the water cannons, work in small flat patches, one at a time.
