Chamonix Skier and Train Paint by Numbers

Chamonix skier and train paint by numbers, a vintage winter sports poster

A skier in a red and blue suit comes down a snowy slope. Halfway up the range, a red steam train follows its track. The word CHAMONIX is part of the composition, as on the old travel posters that advertised winter sports. The orange and beige sky contrasts with the white expanses of the peaks, so the red of the train and the skier stands out. Red, white, blue and orange dominate. The printed linen canvas marks every colour area, and you match each numbered acrylic to its outline to build the mountain scene.

Tips for painting this design

Begin with the orange and beige sky, which covers the large areas at the top. Move on to the white mountains, then finish with the skier and the red train, where the detail is concentrated. The CHAMONIX lettering needs the fine brush, one letter at a time, kept inside the printed edge. We rate this design intermediate: the sky and slopes are medium areas, the figure, train and text are fine work. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.

Choose 40x40 cm or larger if you want the numbers on the skier easy to read. The 36 and 48 colour options add extra shades in the sky. We dispatch within 48 hours. This poster belongs with the other designs in our vintage paint by numbers collection, and if you prefer wild peaks without the train, see our mountain paint by numbers kits.
