Golden Dancer

Everything on this canvas is moving. The skirt sweeps left, her hair lifts behind her, and the air around her breaks into hundreds of loose flakes of gold, white and blue.

Those flakes are the trick of the design. They read as motion from a distance and as separate palette-knife marks up close, and they cover more of the canvas than she does.

Her face is small and turned in profile with the eyes lowered, which spares you the hardest part of painting a person. The arms and shoulders need more care — that's where the light has to travel smoothly, and it's why this one wants 36.

At 24 the dress becomes bolder wedges of gold and red and the background flakes flatten into stronger shapes. Faster, and with more punch from across a room.

Start with the dark corners, then the flakes, then her. The dress last of all — it's the part you'll want to take slowly.

A romantic paint by numbers canvas that suits a bedroom or a hallway, and one that reads as a real oil painting once it's framed.

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.
