Description
Pale Pink Fish on Dotted Blue Paint by Numbers Kit
Four fish moving across water that glows like a lightbox. The blue is intense, somewhere between cobalt and electric, and it is covered with a dense scatter of tiny pale dots that give the whole background a grainy, printed texture. Against it, the fish are almost luminous: mostly white shading into soft pink along the belly and fins, with blocky darker markings running along the back of each one. Their fins and tails open out into fine translucent ribs, and one of them shows a small round eye ringed in dark blue.
What makes this canvas special is that the two halves of it are opposites. The background is quiet, repetitive and meditative: a huge field of blue scattered with hundreds of pale dots. The fish are the opposite, graphic and pale against that dark field, and the work there is in the fins, where the pale ribs need to stay crisp so the tissue reads as transparent. It sounds simple and it is not, which is exactly why it is satisfying. Take the background slowly and the fish will do the rest.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots covering the deep blues, pinks and pale whites
- Three professional detail brushes for the fin ribs, dots and eye detail
- A colour reference sheet showing the completed artwork
- Printed instructions suitable for complete beginners
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.
Dreamlike, Graphic and Calming to Paint
The finished canvas is unusual and very easy to live with, since the deep blue settles into a room rather than shouting. It suits a bedroom, bathroom, office, hallway or study, and it looks excellent in a plain white or pale wood frame. A lovely gift for anyone who loves fish, water or clean, graphic art.
