Lace Curtain Window onto a Summer Garden Paint by Numbers Kit
A window with the curtains tied back, and behind it the whole garden in full flower. The curtains are pale green lace, so thin in places that the light comes straight through them, and they are embroidered with small pink roses and finished with a scalloped edge. Beyond the glass, the border is packed with colour: pink, yellow, blue, purple, orange and scarlet blooms sitting above deep green foliage. On the sill, terracotta pots hold white daisies, pink flowers and a brilliant red geranium, and more greenery spills in at the edges of the frame.
This canvas is a study in how to paint light coming through fabric. The curtains are not a flat green: they are a pale, almost luminous green where the sun passes through, a deeper sage where they fold, and cooler grey greens in the shadow beside the window frame. Getting those three greens right is what makes the lace look sheer rather than solid. The garden behind is the opposite kind of work, a dense celebration of small bright flowers, and the trick is to paint the greens first and then drop the flowers in on top, keeping each bloom clean and separate. The sill pots are where the painting gets its sharpest, warmest details.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots covering the greens, pinks, yellows and blues
- Three professional detail brushes for the lace edge, small flowers and foliage
- 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.
Fresh, Bright and Endlessly Cheerful
The finished canvas feels like a window left open on a summer morning, and the sheer green curtains give it a softness that a straight flower painting would not have. It suits a kitchen, dining room, bedroom, sunroom or hallway, and it looks lovely in a white or cream frame. A generous gift for gardeners and anyone who likes a bright, feminine interior.
