Balloons Over Water

Count them: nine balloons above the treeline, and every one repeated again in the water below.

That doubling is the real subject. The reflections are broken by ripples, so the same shapes come back stretched, wavering and slightly darker, and they take almost as long as the balloons themselves.

Each envelope is made of vertical panels, and every panel needs its own lighter and darker step to look inflated rather than flat. That's the case for 36 here. At 24 the balloons read as clean stripes of solid color, brighter and more graphic, and the water simplifies into fewer bands.

The sky is a long stretch of blue with piled white clouds, and the far shore is a line of green and gold trees. Both go down steadily and give you room between the fiddly parts.

Bright, open, and unthreatening. This paint by numbers landscape works in a hallway or a guest room, and it's a safe gift when you don't know exactly what someone likes.

We recommend the 36-color version for this design.

What's included:

• 16x20 in (40x50 cm) numbered canvas
• Available in a 24-color and a 36-color version
• Acrylic paints and brushes included
• Choose rolled canvas or pre-stretched on a frame

24 or 36 colors?

The number is how many different colors the design is printed in. The 24-color version uses broader areas of solid color, so it goes faster and the finished painting looks bolder and more graphic. The 36-color version splits those same areas into finer steps, which gives softer shading and more depth, and takes longer to complete. Both use the same design and the same canvas size.

No experience is required. Every canvas is clearly numbered, guiding you step by step. Thousands of first-time painters have completed their first artwork with our kits – and loved the result.

You'll not only enjoy the process but also experience the "wow effect" when you see your finished painting come to life.

Everything you need arrives in one box:

• Pre-printed numbered canvas (your chosen size)
• Acrylic paint set (24 or 36 colors – always enough to finish, and we'll send extra for free if you ever run out)
• 3 premium artist brushes (different sizes for details and larger areas)
• Reference color chart & printed guide
• Step-by-step instructions
• Optional: Pre-stretched frame (ready to hang)

24 or 36 colors — which version?

It's simply how many different shades the design is painted with. The 24-color version has a clean, classic look and is a little easier to paint. The 36-color version adds extra shades for smoother blending and a more realistic finish. Both come with all the paint you need to complete your canvas — the number is about shades, not how much paint.
