Description
Watercolor Cat with Rainbow Fur in a Flower Garden Paint by Numbers Kit
A long haired cat sits among flowers, and its coat is the whole story. The chest and ruff are almost pure white, then the fur drifts through peach, lemon, mint, powder blue and lilac in long soft waves, as though the colours were washed into it rather than painted on, while the ears and the top of the head carry warmer apricot and coral tones. Two clear green eyes look past the viewer, and fine white whiskers cross the whole face. Around the cat, a green garden fills every edge with pink, yellow, cream and coral blossoms, small blue butterflies and scattered petals.
This is a study in restraint. Almost every colour here is light, and the pictures only works if the pale tints stay pale, so it is worth mixing less paint rather than more and building the soft fur transitions slowly with the round brush. The darkest marks in the whole canvas are the eyes, the small pink nose and the thin whiskers, and holding those back until the end gives the face its sharpness. Keep the greens behind the cat slightly deeper than the cat itself so the pale figure stays forward.
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 soft pastels and greens
- Three professional detail brushes for the whiskers, eyes, butterflies and small blossoms
- 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.
Gentle, Pretty and Very Forgiving
Soft edges make this a kind canvas for a first project, since nothing has to be perfectly crisp to look right. The finished picture suits a bedroom, nursery, dressing room or reading nook, and it looks lovely in a white or pale wood frame. A sweet gift for cat lovers, gardeners and anyone who likes quiet colour.
