- 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.

A basketball hoop paint by numbers picture for adults
This paint by numbers for adults shows a hoop fixed to its post, a hanging net and a ball resting on the ground. The outdoor court fills the lower part of the canvas, with a white line running across the grass. The sky shifts from orange to yellow and then to purple across the full height. The post and backboard stay in dark greys, almost black, which contrast with the warm background. The square format keeps the hoop centred and leaves little empty space. Detail is medium: the net mesh and the lines on the ball need a fine brush, while the sky is filled with a wide brush.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky: the orange, yellow and purple bands are painted with a wide brush, from the top down to the horizon. Keep the fine brush for the net and the grooves on the ball, as these are the smallest areas. The post and backboard need dark greys applied in an even coat to avoid streaks. Choose a size of 30x30 cm or larger: the hoop stays clear and the sky gradient goes on smoothly.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit with 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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers for the hoop, net, ball and court at sunset.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the orange, yellow, purple, grey and black of the sky and court.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the lines of the net and ball, the medium for the post, the wide for the orange sky.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers for the hoop and outdoor court areas.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas of the hoop at sunset. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
With frame
Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the picture on the wall.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this basketball hoop?
30x30 cm suits the medium detail of the design and keeps the hoop well centred. Go for 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm if you want more room to paint the sky and net.
Are the net and ball difficult to paint?
They are the smallest areas on the canvas. The fine brush supplied in the kit is for the net mesh and the lines on the ball. The rest is filled with the medium or wide brush.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For a basketball player or someone who follows the sport. The design is easy to read and the square format hangs easily in a bedroom or office.
How do I start a paint by numbers picture?
Start with the sky: paint the orange, yellow and purple bands with the wide brush, from the top down to the horizon. The paper guide helps you check the numbers for the areas. Keep the fine brush for the net and the grooves on the ball, the smallest areas.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the sky first with the wide brush, from the top down to the horizon. Apply the dark greys of the post and backboard in an even coat to avoid streaks. The fine brush is for the net and the grooves on the ball. Choose 30x30 cm or larger to keep the hoop clear.
