Ghost Reader

Candlelight does most of the storytelling here. This ghost paint by numbers kit turns a quiet reading corner into a warm Halloween scene, with amber light set against deep browns and midnight blue.

The ghost and armchair provide larger areas, but books, leaves, lantern frames, wood grain, and the surrounding interior keep the brushwork precise. Detail is spread across almost the entire canvas, making this an advanced project.

At 36 colors, the candlelight changes more gradually across the white ghost, chair, wood, and window shadows. The 24-color version keeps the same warm-and-cool contrast in broader areas of cream, amber, brown, and blue.

The finished piece feels more like a cozy autumn illustration than a horror scene, combining Halloween imagery with the atmosphere of an old reading room.

We recommend the 36-color version for this design.

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.
