A Colorful Dragon Rainbow Fantasy Paint by Numbers Kit by Ideyka KHO5113

Paint a fierce dragon head in iridescent blue, purple and pink scales on a black background. A Colorful Dragon is a paint by numbers kit for adults by Ideyka, printed on a natural canvas that is already stretched over a wooden frame, so you can start painting the moment you open the box.

A little painter's folklore: painters of fantasy scenes say the glow is everything: put the brightest color next to the darkest one and the light seems to shine out of the canvas.

Why this kit: if you want a screen-free way to unwind after a busy day, it is the kind of project you can pick up for twenty minutes or a whole rainy afternoon, and every session adds visible progress. With 21 colors it is a satisfying project for beginners and experienced painters alike.

In the box: a pre-printed natural canvas on a wooden stretcher with gallery-wrapped edges, 21 numbered acrylic paints, nylon art brushes, a color reference sheet with the numbered outline, a checklist and step-by-step instructions. Made in Ukraine. Not included: a cup of water, paper towels and a varnish if you want a glossy finish.

How to paint: work in good light, choose one color and fill every shape with that number before moving on, and give fine details a second coat once the first is dry. Keep the pots tightly closed between sessions and wash the brushes with water as you go. When the paint is dry the canvas is ready to hang as it is, no frame needed; the colors of the finished painting may differ slightly from the photo.

Size: 40 x 50 cm (15.7 x 19.7 in). It looks right at home in a bedroom, a teen room or a living room, and makes a thoughtful gift for a dreamer, a teen or a fantasy fan.
