Holy Family in Glass

Both parents are looking down at the child, and the light behind them radiates out in leaded panes of red, amber and cream.

The stained glass treatment gives this scene something a painted nativity rarely has — the sense that the whole picture is lit from behind rather than lit from the front. Deep blue robes, ochre stone, a starburst filling the arch above.

It's a Christmas canvas that doesn't have to come down in January. Devotional rather than seasonal, and it belongs in a hallway, a bedroom, or beside a reading chair.

Painting it is methodical work with a rhythm to it. Every pane is outlined in black with a flat fill inside, so there's nothing to blend and no way to lose your place. You work section by section and progress is visible from the first evening.

The 24-color version delivers a bold reading with the leading carrying the structure. This stained glass canvas is built for 36: the starburst alone steps from white through cream, gold, amber and crimson, the robes move through several blues from pale to deep, and the stonework runs through many close browns. Those separate tones are what create the impression of light coming through glass. 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.
