Goldfish Bowl

Petals lie scattered on the table around the bowl, catching the same light that comes through the window. They're the detail that tells you this is a still life and not a picture of a fish.

Glass is the hard part. The bowl is transparent, which means what you're painting is not the bowl but everything seen through it — flowers distorted at the edges, the waterline across the top, highlights on the curve. Those transitions need 36 colors to hold up.

The 24-color version simplifies the glass into cleaner shapes and stronger contrast. The flowers stay bright and the whole thing reads more like an illustration, which is a fair trade if you'd rather not spend an evening on reflections.

The dark wood surround gives you rest. Large, quiet areas where you can put the brush down mentally for a while.

Small canvas, dense subject. This paint by numbers still life suits someone who likes working slowly on a single object rather than filling a landscape.

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.
