Famous Japanese Paintings to Paint by Numbers

Japanese woodblock prints are made of flat areas of color with clean outlines, which is exactly how a paint by numbers canvas works. That makes a Japanese painting one of the most natural subjects for this hobby. This collection brings together real works by Katsushika Hokusai, Kawase Hasui and Kitagawa Utamaro: giant waves, Mount Fuji in every season, snowy temples, and delicate flowers and birds.

Tips for a Woodblock Look in Japanese Paint by Numbers

Keep colors flat

Woodblock prints use smooth, even color. Two thin coats in each section look better than one thick one.

Crisp lines last

Paint the dark outlines, wave crests and snow edges at the end with the finest brush so they stay sharp.
