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.
Virgin Mary and Child Crowned paint by numbers kit: a religious icon in gold, red and blue
Mary holds the Child Jesus on her arm, and both wear golden crowns. She is dressed in a deep red veil, and golden halos stand out against the sky blue background. Rays of light rise from the crowns towards the top of the portrait canvas, with green and pink in the clothing and background details. Most areas are medium sized. Fine work is limited to the faces, joined hands and crowns, which is why we class this kit as intermediate. Each numbered area on the printed linen canvas matches a numbered acrylic paint pot, ready to use, and the kit comes with 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option you pick. You can also browse more religious paint by numbers kits of the Virgin Mary.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky blue background and the rays. These are the largest areas and fill quickly with the wide brush. Paint the red veil next, in one even coat. Keep the faces, the joined hands and the crowns for the end, using the fine brush. The gold of the halos and crowns needs two coats to cover the printed line. Allow around 12 to 30 hours in total, depending on the size. For clear detail on the faces and crowns, choose 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm. If you want the canvas stretched while you work, the wooden frame option works like our framed paint by numbers: you assemble it before you start painting.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 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.

Questions about this design
How long does this Virgin Mary kit take, and is it hard?
It is an intermediate kit. Most areas are medium sized, and the fine brush is only needed for the faces, joined hands and crowns. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose, and paint the blue background first so the fine work comes last.
Should I choose the wooden frame or the rolled canvas?
The rolled canvas comes without a frame. The wooden frame is an option you assemble yourself, and it lets you stretch the canvas before painting the figures and the background. Orders are dispatched within 48 hours with either option.
Who would enjoy this kit as a gift?
Someone who wants a religious subject at intermediate level, in the gold, red and blue of an icon. The finished portrait picture suits a hallway or bedroom wall. The kit includes canvas, numbered paints and three brushes. Only an easel is extra, if the recipient wants one.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Start with the blue background and the rays using the wide brush, then the red veil in one even coat. Keep faces, hands and crowns for the end with the fine brush. The gold of the halos and crowns needs two coats to cover the printed line.
What are the standard sizes for a painting?
Sizes run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, 12 in total. For the faces and crowns to stay clear, choose 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm. 30x40 cm suits a smaller space, but the facial features become fine to paint.
