SpongeBob and Patrick Campfire Paint by Numbers

SpongeBob and Patrick Campfire Paint by Numbers: what you paint

SpongeBob and Patrick Star sit either side of a campfire on the seabed, each holding a marshmallow out on the end of a stick. Wooden logs feed the orange flames. A full moon lights the scene from the top of the canvas, air bubbles rise through the blue water, and red corals with green seaweed fill the lower corners.

The palette runs on blue, yellow, pink, orange and brown. SpongeBob's yellow body sits against the deep blue water, Patrick's pink stands out beside the firelight, and the brown logs anchor the middle of the picture.

Tips for painting this design

The blue water covers the largest area, so block that in first and leave the two characters until the background is dry. Paint the moon and the bubbles next. SpongeBob's yellow and Patrick's pink need clean edges where they meet the water, and the flame tips come out sharper with the fine brush. Faces and marshmallows are the smallest zones on the canvas, which is why we suggest 40x40 cm or larger if you want them comfortable to fill.

Expect around 12 to 30 hours of painting depending on the size. The square format of this SpongeBob and Patrick Campfire Paint by Numbers canvas suits a narrow wall above a desk or a bed. If you want more scenes with the pair, the rest of our SpongeBob paint by numbers range uses the same printed-canvas format, and the Heroes & Licences paint by numbers category collects the other cartoon characters.
