Golden Hydrangea on Crimson — Painting by Numbers © Halyna Vitiuk

A single hydrangea head, dried to gold and cream, hangs above two curling leaves against a deep crimson field in this design by Halyna Vitiuk. The dense cluster of tiny florets gives the paint-by-numbers scheme plenty of texture to work through, from crisp highlights to warm shadow.

• Cotton canvas stretched on a wooden frame with a numbered outline
• 3 brushes of different thickness
• Acrylic paints, numbered to match the scheme
• Wall-mounting fixture for the finished painting
