Paint by numbers: a basketball player mid dunk
This paint by numbers for adults shows an athlete suspended above the hoop, ball in hand. The net and rim sit in the top corner, while the court floor and blurred crowd fill the lower part. The orange jersey stands out against the midnight blue of the arena. The floodlights create light and dark areas on the player's arms and torso. The style is expressive, with visible outlines and bold flat colour. The kit contains the printed canvas with numbers, acrylic paint pots, three brushes and the control sheet. The square format emphasises the movement and the position of the body.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the midnight blue background and the court floor, then move on to the orange jersey. The ball and the net need care: the areas are small and close together, so work with the fine brush. The floodlights create contrasts on the skin, so paint these light areas before the shadows. Choose a size of 30x30 cm or larger to keep the detail in the face and hands. The 40x40 cm works well if you want a sharper finish on the court floor.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. 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 dunking player, the hoop and the arena floor.
Paint:The acrylic pots cover the orange of the ball and jersey, the midnight blue of the background and the yellow of the floodlights.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the outlines of the net and ball, the medium for the jersey, the large for the court floor.
Guide:The paper control sheet lets you check the numbers for the player, the hoop and the blurred crowd.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas of the dunking player, otherwise it arrives rolled.
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.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this dunking basketball player?
30x30 cm is enough for the movement and the hoop. Move up to 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm if you want to paint the detail in the face, hands and net without areas that are too small.
Are the ball and net details difficult to paint?
The ball and net are among the smallest areas. Use the fine brush and the paper control sheet to find the numbers. The rest of the picture is painted in larger flat areas.
Who is this basketball paint by numbers kit for?
For a basketball fan or someone looking for a sports picture to paint. The square format and the subject suit a gift for a teenager or an adult.
How do I start a paint by numbers picture?
Start with the midnight blue background and the court floor, then move on to the orange jersey. The paper control sheet helps you check the numbers for each area. Then paint the ball and net with the fine brush, and the light areas of the skin before the shadows.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The background and jersey stay simple. The ball and net need care because the areas are small and close together: work with the fine brush. Choose a size of 30x30 cm or larger to keep the detail in the face and hands.
