About this design
★★★★★ Mesdag's Calm Sea as Color by Number
A serene North Sea in the style of Hendrik Willem Mesdag, now as Color by Number. Color the vast cloudy sky, the reflective water, and the sailboat into a soothing coastal landscape.
Why Color by Number?
Color by Number is wonderfully relaxing and surprisingly simple: each area has a number that corresponds to a numbered marker. Choose how many colors you want — 24 (Essential), 36 (Detailed) or 48 (Premium): the more colors, the finer the details and color transitions. Without any experience, you can create a painting that truly resembles the original.
Who is this kit for?
A beloved gift for art lovers and anyone who enjoys creative relaxation. Perfect for mindful crafting — and the end result can be hung directly on your wall.
What's in this kit?
- Premium canvas with pre-printed, numbered sections — ready to color, no experience needed
- Numbered marker set in your chosen number of colors (24, 36 or 48)
- Clear instructions, also suitable for beginners
- Ready-to-hang format — an immediate eye-catcher on your wall
What size and how many colors?
Choose your size from 30×40 cm to 60×80 cm — larger sizes allow for more detail and a more impressive end result. Combine with 24, 36 or 48 colors as desired: more colors means more refinement and softer transitions.
Which sizes and versions are available?
Size
30×40 cm · 40×40 cm · 40×50 cm · 40×60 cm · 50×50 cm · 50×60 cm · 50×70 cm · 60×80 cm
Number of colors
Up to 20 colours · Up to 30 colours · Up to 40 colours
Number of colours: the more colours, the more nuance and the smaller the areas. Up to 20 colours is calm, up to 40 colours the most detailed.
Do I use paint or markers?
Numbered markers. They’re mess-free, there’s nothing to mix and you can stop whenever you like. Ideal for the kitchen table.
What’s the difference between up to 20, 30 and 40 colours?
More colours give more nuance in skin, light and shadow, with smaller areas. Up to 20 colours is the calmest.
When will my kit arrive?
We make your kit in 5–7 working days, then it’s with you in 2–4 working days. Shipping is always free, with tracking.
You can pay securely with iDEAL, Klarna, Bancontact, Visa, Mastercard or PayPal.
Can I return it?
You have a 14-day cooling-off period. During that time, you can send the kit back in its original condition.
We’ll always put it right. Something damaged or missing, or did we make a mistake? Email a photo to info@stitchistudio.com.
Can I give it as a gift?
Of course. At checkout, enter the recipient’s address.
What are the instructions like?
Every kit includes instructions in Dutch: how to read the numbers, which colour is best to start with and how to work section by section without smudging.
Any tips for colouring?
- Start with the darkest colours and work towards the light.
- Colour small areas with the fine tip and large areas with the broad side.
- Put a sheet of paper under your hand so you don’t smudge anything.
