Cat with Crystal Heart Paint by Numbers

Cat with crystal heart paint by numbers kit: a Valentine's cat to paint yourself

A black and white cat wearing a black bow tie holds a transparent heart between its paws, and a small landscape is visible inside the heart. The cat's white whiskers stand out against a sky of pink and mauve clouds scattered with yellow stars. The composition is square, with the cat in the centre. Outlines and numbers are already printed on the canvas, so there is nothing to draw before you start.

This design belongs to our Valentine's Day paint by numbers range. If you prefer feline subjects in general, see our cat paint by numbers designs.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the crystal heart. Its reflections need soft gradients between pink and white, so blend neighbouring colours while the paint is still wet. Move on to the cat's black fur, then the white areas of the chest and whiskers. Use the tip of the fine brush for the yellow stars. Fill in the pink and purple background last, in broad bands. The level is intermediate: most areas are medium-sized, with some fine details. A 30x40 cm or 40x40 cm size is enough for this amount of detail, and the 36 colour option gives you more shades for the sky.

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.

What's in the kit

• Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and cover the pink, black, white, purple and yellow of the cat and the sky, in 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option.
• Brushes:The fine brush handles the whiskers and stars, the medium one the clouds, the wide one the sky background.
