Stylized Dog Portrait on Newsprint Paint by Numbers Kit
This canvas gives a much loved dog the star treatment. The head fills the frame in close up, painted in flat, confident blocks of black, white and warm tan, with a pair of amber orange eyes that look straight at you. The whole dog is outlined in a bright turquoise blue that lifts it clean off the background, and behind it sits a collage of aged newsprint: bold headlines, columns of tiny type and torn paper edges layered like a scrapbook page.
The graphic style makes this a very enjoyable canvas to paint, because every area is a solid shape rather than a blend. The dog’s face is the most interesting work, with its white blaze, tan eyebrows and the careful shading around the muzzle, while the blue outline is a fun detail that makes the whole portrait pop at the end. The newsprint background is a large, easy fill with plenty of small variation.

- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots with plenty of paint for the newsprint background

A Portrait Any Dog Lover Would Want
The finished canvas has the feel of a screen printed poster, and the newsprint background gives it a warm, nostalgic quality. It suits a living room, hallway, study, bedroom or studio, and it looks wonderful beside vintage furniture, books and warm wood. A brilliant gift for dog owners and anyone who loves graphic portraiture.
