Cactus Bloom

The yellow center of the largest pink bloom is only a few strokes wide, and it's the thing your eye lands on first every time you look at the canvas.

Foreground first: prickly pear pads, pink and orange flowers, loose rocks. Then the desert opens up behind them — a dirt track, saguaro cactus standing along it, blue mountains far back under a sky full of cumulus.

The near flowers carry real shading, petal over petal, and the clouds move through several tones of white and gray. That's where the 36-color version earns its place. The 24-color version simplifies those transitions and gives you crisper, more graphic petals and a flatter sky, which some painters prefer and which finishes noticeably sooner.

This is a long paint by numbers project. Expect several sittings, mostly because of how many separate small shapes fill the lower half.

Southwest color without being a desert cliché — it works in a sunroom, a kitchen, or any wall that could use more warmth.

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

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.
