- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.

Paint by numbers of praying hands holding a rosary
This paint by numbers for adults shows two clasped hands holding a rosary with a cross, in front of lit candles. The dark background brings out the skin of the hands and the beads of the rosary. The main colours are golden ochre, warm brown, cream beige and amber, with a deep black for the background. The candlelight creates reflections on the fingers and on the cross. The setting is a dark, intimate interior. The level of detail is high, especially on the hands and the beads. The square size suits this centred composition.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the deep black background and the dark areas around the candles: they paint in flat coats and give the contrast straight away. Then move on to the hands, finger by finger, following the numbers from the fingertips towards the wrists. The amber reflections on the rosary beads and the cross need a fine brush and light touches. Choose a size of 30x30 cm or larger to keep the detail of the hands and candles. The 40x40 cm leaves more room for the skin gradients.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the clasped hands, the rosary and the lit candles.
Paint:The numbered pots cover the golden ochre, warm brown, cream beige, deep black and amber of the design.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this praying hands paint by numbers?
30x30 cm is enough for the hands and the rosary. 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm make the skin gradients easier to follow and leave more room for the candle reflections.
Are the details of the hands and rosary difficult to paint?
The level of detail is high on the fingers, the beads and the cross. Use the fine brush and take your time on the reflections. The dark background, by contrast, paints in quick flat coats.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits someone religious or a friend or relative who likes paintings of prayer. The kit contains the printed canvas, the numbered paints and three brushes, ready to give.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
On this picture, start with the deep black background and the dark areas around the candles, painted in flat coats to give the contrast. Then move on to the hands, finger by finger, from the fingertips towards the wrists, then to the amber reflections of the rosary beads with the fine brush.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Follow the numbers on the paper chart to find the areas, without using it as a painting order. Paint the black background and the dark areas first, then the hands finger by finger. Keep the fine brush for the amber reflections of the rosary and the cross, in light touches.
