A children playing basketball in a park paint by numbers picture
This paint by numbers for adults and children shows three young players on an outdoor court. A child in a yellow shirt leaps towards the hoop with an orange ball in hand, while two others follow the action. The setting is a sunny urban park: green trees, a public bench, blue sky and ochre ground. The colourful trainers and the red and yellow shirts give clear reference points on the canvas. The cartoon illustration style keeps the flat areas crisp and easy to follow with the numbers. The square format puts the hoop and the players in the centre.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the blue sky and the ochre ground, two large areas that set the light. Then paint the trees and the bench, followed by the hoop and its net. Keep the yellow and red shirts for the end: they are the most visible colours and need a clean edge. The orange ball is best done with the fine brush to round off the outline. A 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm size suits the medium level of detail and leaves enough room for the faces and hands.
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 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 children, the hoop and the orange ball in the park.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the orange of the ball, the green of the trees, the blue of the sky and the yellow of the bench.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the outlines of the children and trainers, the medium for the hoop, the large for the blue sky.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers for the areas of the court, the bench and the trees.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas of the sunny park, 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 picture?
30x30 cm or 40x40 cm suits the medium detail of the illustration. The square keeps the hoop and the three players well centred. Below 20x30 cm, the faces and hands become small to paint.
Are the details difficult to paint?
The level is medium. Large areas like the sky, the ground and the trees fill in quickly. The tricky parts are the net of the hoop, the laces of the trainers and the outlines of the shirts, which need the fine brush.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
For children aged 8 and over and for adults who follow a match or play basketball. The sports theme and cartoon style appeal to families. The complete kit is ready to give as it is, with canvas, paints and brushes.
How do you paint by numbers?
Start with the blue sky and the ochre ground, two large areas that set the light. Then paint the trees and the bench, followed by the hoop and its net. Keep the yellow and red shirts for the end, with a clean edge. The orange ball is best done with the fine brush. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of the areas.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the blue sky and the ochre ground first, then the trees and the bench, then the hoop and its net. Keep the yellow and red shirts for the end because they need a clean edge. Work the orange ball with the fine brush. The paper guide helps you check the numbers, not the order.
