- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.

Couple on a Bicycle paint by numbers: a tandem in a poppy field
A man in a denim jacket and a woman in a floral dress pedal a tandem across a wide field. Red poppies, blue cornflowers and wild yellow flowers fill the foreground, and a beige dirt path leads the eye towards the back of the landscape. The cloudy sky carries the warm light of late afternoon. Red, yellow, blue, green, beige and orange make up the palette, finished in an impressionist oil style. The design belongs to our Valentine's Day paint by numbers collection, and the level is intermediate: the flower field and the woman's dress are cut into small numbered patches.
Tips for painting this design
Block in the cloudy sky and the beige path first, while the broad brush still covers ground quickly. Then move to the flower field. The poppies and cornflowers sit in small numbered patches, so the fine brush does most of the work there, and the dress asks for the same care. Choose 40x40 cm or larger: the numbers stay readable and the two figures keep their shape. The 36 or 48 colour option separates the gold of the sky from the light on the tandem. Count around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you pick.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the couple, the tandem and the numbers for the poppies, cornflowers and yellow flowers.
Paint:Numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, covering the reds, yellows, blues, greens, beiges and oranges of the field and the sky.
Brushes:Three brushes: fine for the faces and the petals, medium for the bicycle frame, broad for the sky and the path.
Guide:The paper guide to the design lets you check the numbers over the couple, the bicycle and the flowers before you open a pot.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the flower field canvas before you start painting.
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 design?
The 40x40 cm size or larger is the safer choice. The flowers and the two figures carry a high level of detail, and smaller sizes leave the numbered patches tight to read and fill.
How long does this canvas take to paint?
Around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size and how much time you give the flower field. The sky and the path go quickly with the broad brush. The poppies, the cornflowers and the floral dress take the longest.
Are the flowers difficult to paint?
The poppies and cornflowers form small patches of colour. The fine brush in the kit lets you fill each numbered petal without spilling into the next area. Work one flower at a time and let the paint dry before you move on to its neighbour.
Who is the finished picture a good gift for?
A partner on Valentine's Day or an anniversary. The square format hangs well in a living room or bedroom, and the pair on the tandem suits a couple who cycle together or anyone who asked for a painted keepsake rather than a bought one.
