Description
Youth in White Before a Flight of Crows Paint by Numbers Kit
This canvas has the stillness of an old painting and the weight of a mood. A fair haired young person in a loose white shirt stands with head bowed and eyes lowered, calm and entirely absorbed, while around them the air is full of crows. One enormous bird fills the upper left with wings spread wide enough to blot out the sky, others circle and wheel beside the figure’s head, and one small crow has landed in their hair. Behind, a bright blue sky, dark green trees and the pale towers of a distant city.
The painterly handling is what makes this canvas so rewarding. The white shirt is not flat colour at all: it is built from broad strokes of cream, blue grey and warm shadow, and the light striking the folds is what gives it volume. Against all that brightness, the crows are rich, deep black with subtle blue reflections, and the sky is a large, calm area that holds the whole composition together.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots with a full range of whites, blues and blacks

Melancholy Beauty for a Quiet Room
The finished canvas is atmospheric and a little melancholy, the sort of painting that keeps giving more the longer you look at it. It suits a study, bedroom, living room, reading corner or studio, and it looks beautiful against deep blue or charcoal walls. A wonderful gift for lovers of contemporary figurative painting and literary atmosphere.
