Stone Windmill in Red Poppy Field Paint by Numbers

Stone Windmill in a Red Poppy Field Paint by Numbers Kit

An old stone windmill sits on a rolling green hill, its wooden sails reaching out against a blue summer sky. A wide field of red poppies runs across the foreground, and white cumulus clouds drift above. The impressionist style uses thick, visible brushstrokes, so the finished canvas has real texture. The main colours are bright red, sky blue, grass green, cloud white and stone brown. The warm red of the poppies stands out against the cool sky and the green stems.

The level is intermediate. Most areas are medium sized, and the fine details are limited to the individual poppies and their thin stems. Allow around 12 hours for the smallest size and up to 30 hours for the largest. The red and blue give a strong focal point for a living room or hallway wall. If you like flower subjects, our poppy paint by numbers collection has more red poppy designs.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky blue and cloud white at the top of the canvas, using the wide brush. Move down to the hill and lay in the grass green base across the lower half. Switch to the medium brush for the stone brown tower and the wooden sails. Keep the fine brush for the red poppies and their thin green stems.

The 36 and 48 colour options give you several shades of red and green, which helps build the thick impressionist texture. Let each layer of acrylic dry fully before adding overlapping strokes, so the colours stay distinct. Work from the background to the foreground to avoid smudging wet red petals. If you want another scenic project afterwards, our landscape paint by numbers range has more outdoor compositions.
