Giant Face Above a Small Boy Paint by Numbers Kit
Something is happening in this quiet room, and the painting never explains what. Light falls through a rectangular recess into a dim blue grey space, where a small boy in a white top crouches on the floor with his hands together, looking down. Hanging above him in the air is an enormous translucent face of another boy, dark haired with wide blue eyes and flushed cheeks, gazing down with an expression somewhere between worry and understanding. Between them, on the floor, stands a tiny toy figure on a plinth.
The palette is deliberately narrow, almost everything built from blue greys, soft whites and muted shadow, which gives the canvas its hush. What makes it rewarding to paint is the huge face: it is rendered softly and semi transparent, so you blend pale skin tones into the surrounding blue rather than drawing a hard edge. The room around it is broad and calm, and the small boy and toy figure are the crisp, quiet details.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots with a careful range of blue greys and skin tones
- Three professional detail brushes for the face, boy and toy figure
- 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.
Quiet, Strange and Deeply Atmospheric
The finished canvas is the kind of picture people stand in front of and invent stories about, which makes it perfect for a room where people talk. It suits a study, bedroom, living room, studio or hallway, and it looks superb against deep blue or charcoal walls. A thoughtful gift for lovers of surrealism and psychological art.
