Description
Thick Impasto Swirls in Crimson and Violet Paint by Numbers Kit
Paint applied as though there were no tomorrow. Deep reds and hot oranges climb the upper left, meeting lemon yellow and spring green across the top right, then folding down into a dense purple and violet mass that fills the lower half of the canvas. Every stroke has a raised edge and a shadowed valley beside it, so the surface reads as if it were scraped on with a palette knife, and the hollows between the ridges are noticeably darker than the crests.
What makes this canvas rewarding is that the texture, not the drawing, does the work: there are no outlines and no recognisable objects, only colour and relief. Start with the large masses, keeping each family of colour clean, and resist the urge to smooth the boundaries, because the contrasts are meant to stay abrupt where warm and cold meet. The darker troughs are where the picture gains its depth, so they are worth building in deliberately with the darker end of each colour rather than with black.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots covering the full range of reds, oranges, greens and violets
- Three professional detail brushes for the ridge edges and the darker hollows
- 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.
Rich, Moody and Completely Abstract
Because the colour is so saturated, the finished canvas works as the loudest thing in a calm room, and it also holds up well next to dark furniture and deep walls. It suits a living room, dining room, hallway or studio, and a plain black or oak frame sets it off. A generous gift for anyone who loves serious modern colour.
