Pikachu vs Gengar Paint by Numbers

A Pikachu vs Gengar paint by numbers kit set in a dark forest

Pikachu launches an electric attack at Gengar among dense trees and mossy stones. Pikachu's yellow body stands out against Gengar's purple silhouette and red eyes, and lightning runs through the centre of the scene. The background in brown, dark green and black deepens the contrast between the two fighters and the vegetation. The cartoon style gives clear shapes, so each character is easy to pick out as you work.

Tips for painting this design

The kit is rated intermediate. It has mostly medium areas, plus some fine details such as the lightning and the faces. Start with the dark forest tones to set the trees and the stony ground. Then apply Gengar's purple and Pikachu's yellow in covering layers, as yellow over dark paint needs a second coat. Leave the electric arcs until last and paint them with the fine brush. Allow around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you choose. The square format keeps the duel centred, and the 40x40 cm size gives enough room for both faces.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, 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.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the outlines of Pikachu, Gengar, the trees and the stones with their numbers.
• Paint:The acrylic pots contain Pikachu's yellow, Gengar's purple, the dark green of the trees and the brown of the trunks.
• Brushes:The fine brush is for the electric arcs, the medium for the faces, the broad for the trunks and the mossy ground.
• Guide:The paper guide lets you check the numbers for the Pikachu, Gengar and ground stone areas.
