Sunset Swans is a paint by numbers kit for adults, taken from Image World's painting of swans on a cottage pond at sunset.

A tile-roofed cottage stands behind a stone bank with ivy climbing the chimney and a windmill turning beyond the trees. Four swans are out on the water in front of it, one with its wings half raised, and a pair of rowboats are tied along the near bank with the oars still in them. Flower beds run right down to the water in pink, red and purple, a willow trails over the far side, and the whole sky has gone orange and rose behind the roofline.

Image World designs are drawn for painting rather than adapted from a print. Ledgebay licenses the original artwork rather than copying a stock image, so what you finish is a real painting, not a generic design.

What's in the box

  • Pre-printed cotton canvas, rolled in a tube rather than folded, so it arrives without creases to iron out
  • Full set of acrylic paints, vacuum-sealed so they arrive moist
  • Four brushes in different sizes, wooden handles
  • Printed instructions and a full-color reference photo
  • An 11" x 17" printout of the design, useful if you'd rather not lean over the canvas
  • Framed sizes also include a wooden tabletop easel

Choosing a size

The framed 12x16 and framed 16x20 arrive pre-stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang the moment you put the brush down. No mounting, no separate frame to buy. The unframed 16x20 gives you the same canvas and the same paints for less. It is trimmed close to the printed edge, so it suits taping or mounting to a board rather than stretching over your own frame.

Will I be able to see the numbers?

The 16x20 is the easier of the two sizes on the eyes, and the 11" x 17" printout means you can check a section without leaning over the canvas. Most people paint with a lamp pulled close and reading glasses on. For the finest sections a magnifier helps, and plenty of our customers keep one on the table.

Who it suits

One of the highest-rated designs we sell, and reviewers recommend it for any teen or adult. The sky, the water and the cottage roof are large and satisfying to fill. The flower beds along both banks are where the hours go, and the swans need a careful hand because white birds on bright water leave nowhere to hide a wobble. Middling difficulty overall, and a strong second canvas.

Common questions

Do I need any painting experience?
None. Every section is printed with a number that matches a numbered pot, so there is no drawing, no color mixing and nothing to work out in advance. Start with the biggest areas and work down.

How long does Sunset Swans take?
Most people spend 15 to 25 hours on a 16x20, a bit at a time over a few weeks. There is no rush and nothing spoils if you leave it a while.

How do I paint white swans on bright water?
Paint the water first and let it dry completely. The swans are laid over the top in two or three numbered whites and grays, and on dry paint you can correct an edge. On wet paint you cannot.

What if a color runs low or dries out?
There is a matching replacement paint set for this design, so a dried pot never ends the project. If a pot has only thickened, a drop of water and a stir usually brings it back.

  • Work from the top down. Painting downward keeps your hand off sections you have just finished, which is the most common way a canvas gets smudged.
  • Finish one color everywhere before moving to the next. Every section marked 4, then every 5. It uses less paint, means less brush cleaning, and the painting comes together faster than working area by area.
  • Two thin coats beat one thick one. Pale colors in particular will let the printed number show through on the first pass. Let it dry and go over it again rather than loading the brush heavily.
  • Keep the reference print beside you. Every kit includes a full-size 11 x 17 print. The numbers on the canvas are small, and the finest sections are much easier under a good lamp, with a magnifier if you use one for reading.
  • If the paint thickens, add a single drop of water. Stir it in and close the pot firmly between sittings. Acrylic dries fast once it is open to the air.
  • Stock designs. 12 x 16 framed, 16 x 20 framed, or 16 x 20 unframed.
  • Custom kits from your own photo. 12 x 16, 16 x 20 or 18 x 24, framed or unframed.
  • How long it takes. A few evenings if you paint steadily, or a few weeks treated as a relaxed hobby. The more detailed designs take considerably longer than the open ones, which is worth knowing before you pick.
  • A pre-printed cotton canvas. It ships rolled in a tube rather than folded, so it arrives without a crease through the middle. Framed or unframed, depending on the option you choose above.
  • A complete set of acrylic paints. Numbered to match the canvas and vacuum-sealed, so they arrive workable rather than dried out.
  • Brushes in a range of sizes. Enough to cover the broad areas and pick out the finer sections without swapping tools constantly.
  • An 11 x 17 reference print. A full-size copy of the numbered canvas, which is a good deal easier to read than the canvas itself.
  • A color photograph of the finished painting. So you can see where the piece is heading before you start.
  • An easel, with the framed sizes. The unframed option does not include one.
  • Orders ship within 2 to 4 business days. Often sooner.
  • Sent from a US warehouse. We ship from the fulfillment center closest to your address.
  • Free shipping on orders over $40. A flat $5.95 below that.
  • 30-day returns on unopened items. Returned unopened within 30 days of purchase and we refund in full.

    Gorgeous picture, paints were good, relatively easy

    My daughter and I are new at this, but found this set very do-able. The picture is lovely, the paints are beautiful colors (though they don't really match the colors as advertised), and the brushes are ... acceptable. We found we only used the smallest brushes, and happily there are two of those. But I also invested in a set of sable brushes, and those are MUCH better. For the light colors, you need to paint a little thick to cover the numbers, and for the dark colors, adding a little water makes them much easier to use. But overall, a great set. Oh, and the canvas paper is rolled, so no creases. It came in a hard cardboard tube, and was in perfect condition.

    Sweet Petunias Paint by Number

    The canvas, paint and brushes were great quality. This was a very time consuming project, but the end result was very nice. I agree with other reviews that there is not enough border to wrap around anything making it very difficult to frame. I didn’t really notice that until I finished.
