Cafe Terrace Night Paint By Numbers Kit The Cafe Terrace Night kit is a homage to Van Gogh's 1888 painting of a cafe terrace in Arles. It shows a yellow-lit outdoor cafe on a cobbled street under a night sky full of stars. The terrace glows warm gold against deep blue buildings, with figures seated at tables and an awning overhead. The cobblestones in the foreground catch some of the cafe light. The painting turns on the contrast between the warm terrace and the cool blue night, so keeping those two temperature families distinct is what gives it depth. What's in this kit Pre-printed numbered canvas, 16" x 20" (40cm x 50cm) Acrylic paint pots: 24 colours (standard), 36 colours (adds about 5 hours of detail), or 48 colours (adds about 10 hours, the highest detail level) 3-piece nylon brush set: round detail (size 1), round mid (size 4), flat wide (size 8) Numbered reference chart at full size, plus a smaller printed copy for desk use Wall-hanging hooks on the framed variant; the rolled canvas option ships without Difficulty and pairingPlan for 12 to 15 sessions, more at the 36 or 48 colour level. Keep the warm terrace and the cool night sky as two distinct temperature families. Paint the dark buildings and sky first, then the terrace and its glow, then the seated figures and the cobblestone highlights last. This kit sits in our cities and villages range. It forms a Van Gogh night-scene trio with the Starry Night Kit and Starry Night Over the Rhone kits, and the painting history is covered in our article on Cafe Terrace at Night.
