Description
Alpine Valley River Poster Paint by Numbers Kit
The valley opens up right in front of you and the river comes straight at the canvas, white water over brown stones, running out toward the bottom edge. Grey rock walls lean in from both sides with tan and ochre faces catching the sun, and a green meadow rolls gently down to each bank, dotted with pale boulders and the dark cones of small pine trees. Overhead, the sky is an uncompromising flat blue with two or three white clouds cut clean and simple.
The poster style keeps every shape bold and definite, so the paint goes down in solid blocks and nothing needs blending. It is a very forgiving canvas for a first painting, and a very pleasant one for an experienced hand, because so much of the work is in the arrangement rather than the technique. The river is the liveliest section: pale aqua and near white laid in alongside deeper blue so that the water reads as fast rather than frozen. The pine trees are small but they matter, since they give the whole view its sense of scale.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots covering the blues, greens and rock tones
- Three professional detail brushes for the pines, rocks and water edges
- A colour reference sheet showing the completed artwork

Sizes and Options
Available as a 16×20 inch canvas with a 24 colour palette. Choose No Frame – Rolled if you would like to frame the finished piece yourself, or Pre-Stretched Frame if you would rather begin right away and hang it as soon as it dries.
Clean Lines and Open Air
The finished canvas has the clarity of a classic travel print, and it reads well even from across the room. It suits a living room, hallway, office, cabin or guest bedroom, and it looks best in a simple frame that lets the blue breathe. A dependable gift for walkers, climbers and anyone who keeps a favourite valley in mind.
