Elderly couple on an autumn bench paint by numbers
Two elderly people share a wooden bench in a park at the height of autumn. We print this elderly couple on an autumn bench paint by numbers design on linen canvas, so the numbers stay readable where red and orange leaves crowd together. Maple leaves cover the ground and hang from the branches behind the bench. The man wears a dark green coat and a grey knitted hat. The woman sits in a burgundy coat with gloves on. The brushwork has the look of an expressive oil painting. Red, orange, burgundy, dark green, blue and yellow carry most of the picture. It suits a gift for a couple or for grandparents, and it sits in our Valentine's Day paint by numbers collection.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large flat areas of the setting, the tree trunks and the leaf covered ground. The burgundy and dark green of the coats come next: they anchor the two figures against the warm background. Take the maple leaves slowly where red meets orange, keeping the edge of each area thin so the shades stay apart. Choose 40x40 cm or larger to read the folds of the clothing and the grey knitted hat. The fine brush handles the gloves and the faces. Most painters finish in around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size chosen. If the maple colour is what drew you here, our autumn paint by numbers range stays on the same palette.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What is in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the couple sitting on the wooden bench.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use, in 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option, and cover the reds, oranges, burgundy and dark green.
Brushes:Three brushes: fine for the gloves and the grey hat, medium for the coats, wide for the masses of autumn trees.
Guide:The paper chart helps you check the numbers of the red and orange maple leaves fallen on the ground.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the autumn park canvas; without it, the canvas arrives rolled.
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 picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this design?
The 40x40 cm square keeps the original orientation of the picture and gives enough surface to paint the folds of the coats and the maple leaves. Below 30x40 cm the leaves squeeze together; 50x70 cm and 60x80 cm leave room for the grey hat and the gloves.
Are the details hard to paint?
The level is intermediate. The smallest areas are the grey knitted hat, the gloves and the leaf edges where two reds or oranges meet. Use the fine brush there and the medium brush for the coats. The tree trunks and the ground move quickly with the wide brush.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
This design suits a Valentine's Day gift for a couple or for grandparents. It shows two elderly people sharing a quiet moment in an autumn park, and the finished canvas works on a hallway or living room wall. We dispatch within 48 hours if you are working to a date.
