Starry Night Paint By Numbers Kit The Starry Night Kit is a homage to Van Gogh's 1889 painting of the night sky over Saint-Remy. It shows a swirling sky of blue and yellow above a quiet village, with a dark cypress tree rising on the left and rolling hills behind the rooftops. The brushwork in the original is built from short curved strokes, and the numbered sections follow those swirls. Deep blues fill most of the sky, with the stars and crescent moon as warm yellow accents. The cypress and the sky carry the movement; the village below is calmer and simpler. 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 16 sessions, more at the 36 or 48 colour level. The numbered sections follow Van Gogh short curved strokes, so the sky rewards patience; the village below is calmer. Paint the sky first, then the cypress tree, then the village last. This kit sits in our abstract range. It forms a Van Gogh night-scene trio with the Cafe Terrace Night and Starry Night Over the Rhone kits, and the painting story is covered in our article on The Starry Night.
