A basketball paint by numbers of a player in action
This basketball player paint by numbers shows a point guard dribbling against a defender, ball on the floor. The orange shirt stands out against the light wooden court. Behind the two players, the crowd fills the stands and the hoop can be made out at the back of the hall. The areas are clear: blue and white shirts, black shorts, court lines. The square format keeps both bodies in the frame. Each area carries a number that matches a paint pot. You fill the flat areas, then the outlines. The kit contains the printed linen canvas, the numbered pots, three brushes and the reference sheet.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the light wooden court and the stands, as these are the largest areas. Keep the orange and blue shirts for the end: the flat areas need to stay clean where they meet the black of the shorts and the outlines. The ball needs particular care, as its sphere reads through the contrast between the orange and the shadow. A 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm size is enough for this medium level of detail. Take 36 colours to shade the crowd and the court without mixing.
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.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the player in action, the defending opponent and the basketball.
Paint:The numbered pots cover the orange of the ball, the blue and white of the shirts and the light wood of the court.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the outlines of the ball and faces, the broad one covers the court and the stands.
Guide:The paper reference sheet lets you check the numbers of the coloured shirts, the hoop at the back and the crowd.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas of the dribbling player, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube. 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 player?
30x30 cm suits the medium detail and keeps both players readable. For a sharper finish on the faces and the ball, take 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm. The square format keeps the original framing.
Are the details of the crowd and the court difficult?
The crowd is painted in small numbered areas, which takes patience more than technique. The court is painted in broad flat areas. Allow 12 to 30 h depending on the size you choose.
Who is this basketball paint kit a good gift for?
For a basketball player or fan, teenager or adult, who wants to paint their sport. The theme also appeals to a coach or a parent of a club player. The kit contains everything needed to start.
How do I start a paint by numbers?
Start with the light wooden court and the stands, the largest areas. Keep the orange and blue shirts for the end, with clean flat areas where they meet the black of the shorts and the outlines. The paper reference sheet is for checking the numbers of the areas, not the painting order.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Open the numbered pots and paint the matching areas following the order on the sheet: court and stands first, then the orange and blue shirts, then the ball with care. The 3 fine, medium and broad brushes cover the surfaces. The paper reference sheet helps you check the numbers.
