Stitch and Lilo Sitting Side by Side at Sunset Paint by Numbers

Stitch Paint by Numbers on a Sunset Beach

This stitch paint by numbers picture shows Stitch and Lilo on a tropical beach at sunset. Stitch is the blue alien, and he stands out clearly against the warm background. Lilo wears a red dress, a shell lei necklace and a pink hibiscus flower in her hair. Palm trees rise on either side, and the sun sits low over the ocean. Orange and pink fill the sky, while blue and green cover the waves and the leaves. Purple adds depth to the shading. It is a cartoon illustration, so the shapes are clean and easy to follow. The level of detail is medium, which suits beginners and keen painters alike. Fans of Stitch Hawaii scenes will enjoy the island mood and the bright colours. Every kit comes with a printed linen canvas, numbered acrylic paints, 3 brushes, a paper guide and free UK delivery.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the large areas of sky and ocean, using the large brush and working one numbered colour at a time. Move on to the sand and the palm leaves with the medium brush. Save Stitch and Lilo for later, once the background is dry, so you can keep the edges neat. Use the fine brush for the hibiscus flower, the shell lei and the small details on their faces. Choose a larger size if you want more room around the small details, or a smaller size for a quicker project. The 36 or 48 colour options give you extra shades in the sunset sky and the blue of Stitch, which makes the blending look smoother. Allow around 12 to 30 hours in total, depending on the size you pick.

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.
