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.
A flaming Viking ship paint by numbers scene on a calm sea
A flaming Viking ship sits at the centre of this picture, resting on almost still water. The paint by numbers for adults layout maps out every part of the longship: wooden hull, shields lined along the side, square sail, flames and smoke rising into a twilight sky. In the background, mountain silhouettes close off the horizon. The main colours are the orange and red of the flames, the midnight blue and purple of the sky, with dark reflections on the water. The style is expressive, with clear outlines and flat areas that are easy to pick out. The square format puts the ship at the centre and leaves little room for the surroundings.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the midnight blue and purple sky, then work down into the water to lay in the reflections. Keep the oranges and reds of the flames for the end: they go on in short flat strokes over the light areas. The shields need care, as they are small and lined up along the hull. Choose a 30x30 cm size or larger to keep the areas wide enough. At 20x30 cm the shields become too cramped.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit with 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the Viking ship, the flames and the twilight sky with their numbers.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the orange, red, midnight blue, purple and black seen in this design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the shields and mountain silhouettes, the medium for the flames, the broad for the sky and water.
Guide:The paper chart of the design lets you check the numbers for the ship, the flames and the reflections on the water.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas of this Viking ship so you can paint on a flat surface. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
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.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this Viking ship?
30x30 cm or 40x40 cm works best: the picture is square and the shields stay clear. Below 20x30 cm, the details of the hull become hard to paint.
Are the flames and shields difficult to paint?
The level is moderate. The flames are painted in flat areas of orange and red, with no complex blending. The shields need precision, but every area has a number and the paper chart helps you place them.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For fans of ships and Nordic scenes, and for anyone looking for a sea-themed picture to paint. The square format hangs easily in a hallway or bedroom.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
For this Viking ship, start with the midnight blue and purple sky, then work down into the water to lay in the reflections. Keep the oranges and reds of the flames for the end, in short flat strokes over the light areas. Paint the shields carefully as they are small and lined up along the hull.
What are the tips for paint by numbers?
Follow the order on the sheet: sky and water first, flames afterwards. Use the fine brush for the shields and details, the medium for the flat areas. The paper chart is there to check the numbers of the areas, not to set a painting order. Choose a 30x30 cm size or larger for areas that are wide enough.
