Description
Golden Mountains Above a Blue Plain Paint by Numbers Kit
Two colours do all the work in this canvas, and they do it beautifully. A cluster of towering peaks rises from a flat blue plain, their surfaces glowing warm sand gold wherever the light lands and falling away into deep cobalt shadow in every hollow. Narrow dark ridges run down the flanks, tiny golden trees cling to the slopes, and below it all a river of gold loops and braids across the blue in wide, elegant curves, trailing fine streams to the bottom of the frame.
The mountains are the most interesting part to paint, because they hinge entirely on the boundary between gold and shadow. Every ridge is a judgement call about where the light stops, and getting that edge crisp is what makes the peaks look three dimensional. The winding golden river is calmer, rhythmic work, and the flat blue sky and plain are large, easy areas that let the whole composition breathe.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots with a strong range of golds and deep blues
- Three professional detail brushes for the ridges, trees and river lines

Luxurious and Utterly Striking
The gold on deep blue makes this canvas feel expensive, and the graphic simplicity means it reads beautifully from across a room. It suits a living room, dining room, study, bedroom or hallway, and it looks magnificent beside brass, dark wood and deep walls. A brilliant gift for lovers of oriental landscape art and bold modern design.
