Thatched Cottage in a Summer Garden — Paint by Numbers

A thatched-roof cottage all but disappears into the greenery — a birch trunk in the foreground, blossoming shrubs, and a carpet of blue wildflowers leading the eye toward the sunlit clearing. It's the kind of quiet corner you'd want to sit in for an afternoon.

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

A calm, detail-rich subject for anyone easing into paint by numbers for the first time.
