Why landscapes and nature are so enjoyable to color
Nature is perhaps the most rewarding subject to color. Skies, water, and mountains consist of large, flowing color areas that are wonderfully easy to work with — you see quick results and naturally enter a calm, mindful flow. Especially with landscapes, the soft transitions of a set with more colors truly come into their own: a sunset that fades from deep orange to soft pink, or a mountain range that disappears into the distance.
Because you color with numbered markers instead of paint, you don't need brush skills and everything stays clean. You pick it up whenever you have a moment, put it away just as easily, and don't have to worry about drying time or mess. Ideal for a relaxing evening on the couch.

The 5 landscape sets at a glance
Mountain Landscapes
Cool blues, misty grays, and deep greens capture the tranquility of a vast mountain view. This Mountain Landscapes set is timeless and effortlessly fits into a Scandinavian or minimalist interior — two peaks forming one panorama.
Coastal Adventure
Fresh sea blues, light sand, and waves breaking on the rocks: Coastal Adventure brings the salty atmosphere of a day at the sea into your home. An invigorating theme that instantly makes you long for the coast, perfect for a light, natural interior.
Northern Lights
Green and purple light veils dance over a snowy landscape under a starry sky. Northern Lights is the most magical set in the collection and truly lets the soft color transitions of a 48-color palette shine on your wall.
Sunset Dreams
Warm orange, pink, and golden skies that slowly blend into each other. Sunset Dreams is romantic and atmospheric, instantly adding warmth to a neutral or white wall. A favorite for the bedroom or a cozy reading nook.
Sunset & Palm Trees
Tropical vacation feeling guaranteed: dark palm silhouettes against a glowing evening sky. Sunset & Palm Trees combines deep silhouettes with colorful skies, allowing you to color both large areas and beautiful contrasts.
Which size and number of colors should you choose?
For a landscape above the sofa or bed, a larger size works best, as two canvases together fill a substantial wall. For a smaller corner or a gift, a more compact size is handier. Sizes range from 30×40 to 60×80 cm.
The number of colors determines the level of detail and the smoothness of the transitions:
| Level | Colors | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | 24 colors | Beginner-friendly. Larger areas, quicker to finish, wonderfully relaxing. |
| Detailed | 36 colors | The golden mean. Good detail without becoming too intricate. |
| Premium | 48 colors | The most refined. The softest skies and the most depth. |
Especially with sunsets and the northern lights, those soft transitions make all the difference — that's where 48 colors truly pay off. Are you new to this? Feel free to start with 24 colors; your result will still be beautiful. In our beginner's guide, you'll find out exactly how to start and why it's best to work from top to bottom.

Landscapes on your wall: interior and gift
Each landscape set consists of two canvases that share the same palette, so they automatically belong together visually. Hung side by side, they form a diptych: two parts that together tell one vast story. A mountain panorama or a double sunset above the sofa fills an empty wall much more beautifully than a single separate image.
Because you use one set of markers for both canvases, you don't buy anything twice — and you can easily give the second canvas as a gift. A self-colored landscape is a warm, personal gift for anyone who loves nature and tranquility. Find more inspiration in our color by number gift ideas.
Do you want your own landscape photo — the mountains from your last vacation or the beach where you got married — on canvas? You can do that with Your Own Photo – Color by Number, where we convert your photo into a numbered canvas with matching markers.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is color by number with a landscape theme?
You receive a pre-printed canvas with numbered areas and a set of numbered markers. Each number corresponds to a color; you color in the areas, and your landscape slowly appears. No paint, no water, no drawing or painting skills required — just relaxing coloring.
Which landscape sets are available?
Within the nature theme, you can choose from Mountain Landscapes, Coastal Adventure, Northern Lights, Sunset Dreams, and Sunset & Palm Trees. Each set consists of two matching canvases that share the same marker palette.
Which number of colors is best for a sunset or the northern lights?
For smooth skies and soft transitions, 48 colors (Premium) look best. If you prefer a calmer approach or are a beginner, 24 or 36 colors are also fine; your result will still be beautiful, just with slightly larger color areas.
Can a beginner start with a landscape set right away?
Absolutely. Landscapes consist of large, rewarding color areas, so they are quick to complete. As a beginner, choose 24 colors, work from top to bottom, and follow our beginner's guide if needed.
How much does a landscape set cost?
A set of two canvases starts from €59.95, depending on the size and number of colors. Larger sizes are slightly more expensive; the exact price can be seen on the product page. Shipping is always free, worldwide, with no minimum order.
