iWhat does this level mean?
- 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.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
A rugby player running with the ball paint by numbers canvas to paint yourself
This paint by numbers for adults places a centre running at full pace, the oval ball tucked against his forearm. Behind him, two defenders in pursuit fill the right half of the canvas. The blue and white shirt stands out against the green grass, with white pitch lines running across the lower part of the picture. The brown ball and the studs complete the scene. The style is expressive: the player's outlines are sharp, while the grass and the background figures are built up in broader flat areas. The square format strengthens the sense of a head-on run.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the player's blue and white shirt, then the brown ball: these are the smallest and clearest areas. Next, paint the green grass in horizontal bands, from the bottom upwards, to keep an even stroke. The white pitch lines need a fine brush and a steady hand. Choose 40x50 cm or larger if you want to separate the defenders clearly from the background. Below 30x30 cm, the chasing figures become hard to tell apart.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit with 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 rugby player, the oval ball and the chasing defenders.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the green of the pitch, the blue and white of the shirt, and the red and brown of the ball.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the pitch lines and studs, the medium brush for the shirt, the broad brush for the grass.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers on the player, the ball and the chasing defenders.
Optional:Optionally, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the rugby pitch canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube.
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 finished picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this rugby player?
40x50 cm suits the medium level of detail: the player, the ball and the two defenders stay clear. 30x30 cm works for a first kit, but the background figures become simpler. Above 50x70 cm, allow closer to 30 h of painting.
Are the face and studs difficult to paint?
The player's face is painted in flat areas, with no fine lines, which keeps it manageable. The studs and hands need a fine brush and a little patience. The trickiest areas are the white pitch lines passing behind the legs.
Who is this rugby paint by numbers kit for?
The picture suits a rugby player or supporter, teenager or adult. The sports theme makes a change from flowers and landscapes. It also works as a gift for a coach or a teammate, with a finished piece to display at the club or at home.
Is paint by numbers difficult?

What are the tips for painting by numbers?
