Description
Painter with a Burning Canvas Paint by Numbers Kit
Something is very wrong in this peaceful green field, and that is exactly what makes the canvas so compelling. A man in a brimmed hat and dark suit sits calmly on a wooden stool at his easel, palette in one hand and brush in the other, working away as though nothing unusual is happening. But the canvas he is painting is on fire: a tall column of orange flame rises from the board, twisting and curling upward, and thick black smoke pours off it into a heavy grey sky. The field around him is flat, green and utterly ordinary.
The fire is the technical heart of this painting. It is built from layered yellows, hot oranges and white hot cores against dark smoke, and because it is the brightest thing on an otherwise muted canvas, it needs to be handled with care to keep its glow. The flat green field and the vast grey cloud bank are large, quiet areas that give your eyes a rest, while the painter himself is a small, precise figure in warm browns and black.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots with plenty of paint for the field and sky
- Three professional detail brushes for the figure, easel and flame edges
- 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.
Art About Art, and About Something Else Too
The finished canvas is the kind of image people stand in front of and talk about, which makes it a wonderful piece for a space where guests gather. It suits a study, living room, studio, home office or hallway, and it looks superb against plain walls where the fire and smoke read clearly. A brilliant gift for artists, writers and lovers of surreal and conceptual painting.
