Difficulty level : Advanced
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.
Couple at a Café Terrace Paint by Numbers Kit
Two figures sit at a table under a red awning that hangs above a shop window, and the terrace chairs repeat the same red. Around them the cobbles run in ochre and brown towards an old tower that closes the background, with a street lamp on the left and a beige sky above. The oil painting style leaves broad areas on the ground and crisp outlines on the couple, and the square format keeps the façade and the street in one frame. The design comes from our Valentine's Day paint by numbers range. Many fine details make it an advanced canvas: expect around 20 to 40 hours with the brush.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the red awning and the chairs. Both are flat areas and take one or two coats without much care. Then paint the cobbles in horizontal bands, alternating ochre and brown, so a join between two numbers does not show. Leave the street lamp and the shop window until the end: their yellows meet, and the fine brush keeps the edges clean. Choose 40x50 cm or 40x40 cm if you want space for the faces and the tower. On a wall it sits well beside other street corners from our city paint by numbers collection.
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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this café painting?
The 40x40 cm keeps the square framing of the design. The 40x50 cm gives more room to the façade and the cobbles without losing the couple. Below 30x40 cm the faces and the reflections on the street lamp get tight, and the numbers sit close together.
Are the faces and the shop window hard to paint?
The level is advanced. The two faces, the hands resting on the table and the reflections in the shop window need the fine brush and some patience. The red awning, the chairs and the cobbles are large flat areas, so most of the canvas goes quickly.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For someone who likes street scenes and old town cafés, and as a Valentine's gift for a partner who paints. Two figures at a table carry the theme without turning the scene into a cartoon. Allow 20 to 40 hours depending on the size you pick.
How do I revive dried paint?
The numbered acrylic pots reseal, so a session can stop and start again. Add a drop of water and stir if a colour thickens. Paint the red awning and the chairs first as flat areas, then finish with the street lamp and the shop window using the fine brush.
