Red Poppies on Cream Background Paint by Numbers
This red poppies on cream background paint by numbers kit gives you open red blooms and tight green buds on a pale square canvas. The naive style uses flat areas of colour and visible brushstrokes, so the finished picture looks hand painted.

Difficulty level : Beginner
iWhat does this level mean?
- 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.
Red Poppies on Cream Background Paint by Numbers
The square canvas is filled at the centre with a small group of poppies. Some are in full bloom with broad, vivid red petals, while others are still closed green buds on slender stems. Forest green and dark green run through the stems and serrated leaves, which gives each flower a clear outline. The cream background covers the rest of the canvas, so the red stands out without any shading to manage. The lighting is flat and even, which means you paint clean areas of colour rather than blend shadows.
Detail is medium. Petals and leaves have enough sections to keep you busy, and none of them are tiny. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you pick. If you like bold flowers in a simple style, this is the kit to choose. You can also browse the full poppy paint by numbers collection or look at other flower paint by numbers designs.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the cream background. It is the largest area, and a slip near a flower is easy to cover once the cream is dry. Use the wide brush for the background and the medium brush for the red petals, painting each petal in one direction to keep the strokes even. Keep the fine brush for the thin stems, the bud tips and the serrated leaf edges. Where red meets green, paint the red first so the darker green gives a crisp edge. Let each area dry before you add a neighbouring colour, especially along the stems. The 36 colour option gives you enough reds and greens to separate the open blooms from the buds. The 48 colour option adds subtle variation across the petals.
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.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for the red poppies on cream design?
The design is square, so 20x30, 30x30, 40x40 and 50x50 cm follow its shape. The range runs from 20x30 to 60x80 cm in 9 sizes. Expect around 12 hours on the smaller sizes and up to about 30 hours on the largest.
How many colours do I need: 24, 36 or 48?
The 36 colour set gives you enough reds and greens to separate the open blooms from the buds. The 48 colour set adds subtle variation across the petals. The 24 colour set keeps the palette simpler if you prefer fewer paint pots.
The stems and leaf edges look fiddly. Any advice?
Paint the cream background first, then use the fine brush for the stems and the serrated leaf edges. Work along one stem at a time, and let the red petals dry before painting the green where they meet.
Is this a good gift for someone who likes flowers?
Yes, especially for anyone who likes bold red blooms. The naive style and medium detail keep it manageable, and the canvas, numbered paints and brushes are all in the kit. Orders are dispatched within 48 hours.
