Description
Victorian Aristocrat with a Lace Parasol Paint by Numbers Kit
This canvas is quiet, formal and full of restraint. A young man with long black hair stands with his eyes closed and his head tilted slightly downward, as though listening to something. He wears a deep wine red jacket over a white collar built entirely from layered lace, caught at the throat by a gold set dark gem brooch. His hands, gloved in black leather, grip the slim handle of a parasol, and behind him a wide cream lace canopy patterned with flowers fills the frame.
The lace is the part that will occupy you most, and it is worth the effort. Those fine scalloped edges and openwork patterns are made of hundreds of small pale shapes, and building them up gradually is what gives the collar and the canopy their delicate look. Against all that light detail, the wine red jacket and the black gloves provide rich, smooth areas to balance the work.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots with a subtle range of creams, reds and blacks
- Three professional detail brushes for the lace, brooch and parasol handle
- 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.
Elegance With a Hint of Melancholy
Finished, this canvas has the atmosphere of a period novel cover, and the lace detail makes it look far more valuable than a kit. It suits a bedroom, study, dressing room, hallway or living room, and it looks superb in a black frame against deep or muted walls. A wonderful gift for lovers of gothic romance, historical fashion and elegant portraiture.
