Stitch in a Dressing Gown Paint by Numbers

Stitch in a dressing gown paint by numbers kit

Stitch sits in a soft beige armchair with a red straw cup in his hand. The blue plush wears a white dressing gown with pink hibiscus flowers. A textured cushion and a potted green plant fill the background near the window. Blue dominates through the fur, turquoise fills the shadows and pink marks the flowers on the gown. The two-tone iced drink adds a light patch in the centre of the canvas. The realistic 3D digital style gives the fur smooth gradients, so neighbouring shades need a steady hand. The square format suits this indoor scene. If you like this character, the Stitch paint by numbers range has more designs of the same plush.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the beige armchair and the cushion. These two large areas set the light values for the whole picture. Next, paint the white dressing gown, keeping pure white for the lit folds and a blue-grey for the shadows. Stitch's fur needs the most attention: lay the light blues first, then the turquoises in the hollows. Leave the cup and the red straw until last, since they are the only bright red touches on the canvas. A 30x40 cm or 40x40 cm canvas gives enough room for this level of detail.

Sizes, colours and painting time

This design is an intermediate level kit with medium areas and some fine details, mostly on Stitch's face. It 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 hours depending on the size.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the outlines of Stitch in his dressing gown and of the beige armchair, so each area is marked before you start.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and include Stitch's blue, the hibiscus pink and the turquoise of the iced drink.
• Brushes:The fine brush handles Stitch's face, the medium brush the flowers on the gown and the wide brush the armchair.
• Guide:The paper chart of the design lets you check the numbers for the cup and the potted plant.
• Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas before you paint. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
