Radiance, Vitality, and Raw Emotion
Step into a world dominated by raw color and energy. Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh Paint By Numbers invites you to recreate one of the most recognizable and emotionally charged paintings in history. Van Gogh didn't just paint flowers; he painted vitality itself, using color to express an intensity that feels alive and restless.
The challenge of this kit is not in complex details, but in bold forms and intense texture. You will work with an almost monochromatic palette of layered yellows, golden ochres, and muted greens to build the dense, heavy flower heads and the swirling background. The goal is to capture the "impasto" effect, the thick, expressive brushwork that gives each twisting petal and seed-filled center its distinct personality and emotional weight.

A Note From Our Founder
"The difficulty in painting 'Sunflowers' is that it is essentially yellow painting on a yellow background. Van Gogh used texture to separate the flowers from the wall. In a paint by numbers kit, we rely on subtle shifts in tone. The challenge is to trust the process and apply these similar shades of gold and ochre boldly to build the form of the vase and the heavy flower heads."
Pro-Tip: To mimic Van Gogh's famous thick paint texture (impasto), do not be afraid to apply the paint heavily. Use the flat brush to lay down thick strokes in the background, following the swirling directional lines of the numbered sections. For the flower centers, dab the paint thickly to create a tactile, seed-like texture. A second coat is highly recommended for the rich yellows to ensure opacity."

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this painting difficult?
A: Yes, this is considered an advanced kit. While the shapes are bold, the difficulty lies in managing the monochromatic palette. Distinguishing between many similar shades of yellow and ochre requires focus and a good eye for tonal variation. We recommend the 36 or 48 color count versions for the best depth.
Q: What is the style of this painting?
A: This is Post-Impressionism. Van Gogh used color and texture emotionally rather than realistically. The goal is to convey the feeling of the flowers' vitality through thick paint and intense hues.
