Golden River

Low sun straight down the middle of the river, and the whole picture built around that one line of light on the water.

Autumn birch and beech close in from both sides in gold and green, a bank of fallen leaves runs along the near shore, and the far end of the river disappears into haze. It's the classic riverbank scene done properly — warm, familiar, easy to sit with.

That familiarity is why it sells to a particular buyer: someone furnishing a living room or a hallway who wants a landscape that looks like a landscape, not a design statement.

There's real substance to the work. Foliage covers most of the canvas in small clustered shapes, and the reflections below repeat the canopy above in broken bands.

The 24-color version simplifies the foliage into bolder masses and moves along faster. This paint by numbers landscape is squarely a 36: the light travels from white at the sun through cream, gold and amber into deep bronze, the greens run from sunlit lime to shadowed forest, and the water repeats all of it. Those close steps are the whole reason the scene glows. 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.
