Red Sky Planet

A figure alone on a ridge, small against everything.

The astronaut takes up maybe a twentieth of the canvas and carries the entire image. Orange suit against black rock, helmet catching light, backpack in fine detail. Small work, and worth saving until you're warmed up.

Around him the ground breaks into ribs of red and blue stone with black outlines separating every ridge. Hard edges throughout, no soft transitions, so it moves quickly once you find the rhythm.

The sky is split between two moods: burning orange cloud low down, deep black and starfield above, with a blue-white planet hanging between them.

24 colors suits the way this is drawn. Every shape is a flat field bounded by black line, and the flat treatment is what gives the poster its punch. At 36 the planet and the clouds gain more interior shading and the rock ribs separate further, which softens that graphic look.

The strongest paint by numbers canvas here for a dark room, and the kind of image a teenager will actually want on their wall.

We recommend the 24-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.
