Ship and Boat Paint by Numbers Kits
Sailboats on open water, fishing fleets in harbor, rowboats pulled up on the sand. This collection of ship paint by numbers kits is built around boats and the water they sit on, and many of the designs are famous paintings by Van Gogh, Monet, Signac and Sorolla. Water, sails and reflections break into clear numbered sections, so they are more approachable than they look. Each ship paint by numbers kit includes a numbered canvas, matching acrylic paints, brushes for large areas and fine detail, and printed instructions.

Tips for Painting Boats and Water
Start with the sky and sea
Fill the large background areas first with the wider brush, then move to hulls, sails and rigging with the fine brushes.
Keep reflections crisp
Let each area dry before painting the one next to it. Clean edges are what make water look like it is shining.
