Couple Walking on the Beach at Sunset Paint by Numbers

Couple Walking on the Beach at Sunset Paint by Numbers

A man and a woman walk hand in hand on the sand while the sun drops towards the water. In this couple walking on the beach at sunset paint by numbers scene, the man wears a blue hoodie and jeans, the woman a purple jumper. The setting sun draws an orange and yellow line along the horizon. Waves spread across the shore, and the cloudy sky mixes purple, orange and beige. The impasto finish leaves the brushstrokes thick enough to read as paint.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the sky at the top of the canvas. Block in the oranges and yellows of the sunset first, then work through the purples and beiges of the clouds. Move down to the ocean and the sand. Leave the two figures until last: the blue hoodie sits right next to the purple jumper, and a fine brush keeps that edge sharp. Use the wide brush on the flat sky and water, the fine one on the silhouettes and the sun's reflection on the waves. Detail level is intermediate, with medium areas around the couple rather than a canvas full of tiny shapes.

Sizes, colours and painting time

Twelve sizes run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. A 40x40 cm square keeps the original orientation and leaves room for the figures and the shading in the clouds. Each kit comes with 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas or with a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.

The finished square suits a bedroom wall or the space above a hallway console. As a gift it works for an anniversary or Valentine's Day, and the framed option means it can go straight up once the last area is dry. More designs sit in our Valentine's Day paint by numbers range, and the beach and seascape kits stay on the same coastline.
