abstract sunset paint by number kit

a painterly wash of sunset color: gold and butter yellow burning through coral and hot pink into deep violet. no subject, no edges, just color doing what it wants.

the odd one out, and the most satisfying to fill in. it has the most colors in the shop, 30, but the fewest pieces of any kit, 304, because the shapes are big soft drifts rather than detail. you cover ground fast.

instant download. on iPad this kit is listed as abstract sunset.

the numbers, so you know before you buy

what you are taking on

  • 30 colors across 304 pieces.
  • the printable kit is 87 pages across 5 PDFs. the art prints 10 x 8 in, centred on a US Letter page. print at 100%, not fit-to-page.
  • the iPad kit paints at 3000 x 2400 px, which is 10 x 8 in at 300 dpi.
  • roughly 3.5 to 6.6 hours on a tablet, so an evening or two.
  • 28 of those 304 pieces are smaller than a size-0 brush tip, so you will want your finest nib or a sharp pencil for those. I would rather tell you now.

no likeness to get wrong, so nothing can look off. the 28 tiny pieces are along the blend edges, so bring your finest nib for those.

the 30 colors in this kit

taken from this kit's own procreate palette. every one comes with its hex and RGB, and the swatch card matches each swatch to four popular marker and pencil brands:

how many of this kit's colors have a close match in each marker or pencil set
ohuhu honolulu30 of 30 colors have a close match
copic24 of 30 colors have a close match
prismacolor premier30 of 30 colors have a close match
faber-castell polychromos29 of 30 colors have a close match

where nothing comes close, the card says so rather than pointing you at something wrong.

on paper

87 printable pages, 5 PDFs

  • eighteen outlines to choose from

    four darknesses, each one plain or numbered, with or without the color bar along the top. one way to use them: print the faintest plain one, and no lines or numbers show in your finished piece. the last two sit over a 1-inch grid so you can copy the design onto canvas by hand.

  • the swatch card

    every color as a true 1-inch square with its hex and RGB, so you can swatch your own markers straight onto it. then a page naming the closest ohuhu, copic, prismacolor and polychromos for every single color.

  • the color-by-color guide

    one page per color, that color alone on the page. wondering where every #12 hides? turn to page 12.

  • the build-up guide

    the same one page per color, but each page shows the whole picture as it grows, with only the color that page adds numbered on it. no hunting for which shape is new.

  • the finished preview

    in full color, plus a second copy with the numbers printed on the colors, so you can check yourself halfway through.

the same picture, 5 layered files

listed as abstract sunset. color drop through the numbers, then switch the numbers and the outlines off.

  • line-art.png

    every outline on a see-through layer, drawn with hard edges so a color drop fills the shape and stops dead at the line.

  • numbers.png

    the numbers on their own see-through layer. switch it off when a region is done.

  • palette.swatches

    a real procreate palette. import it once and every color is sitting in your color picker, in kit order.

  • finished-art.png

    what it looks like painted, to work from. it also sits at the bottom of your layers, and that is the bit that lets the outlines go as well as the numbers.

  • read-me.png

    a one page setup guide with a picture of the layer stack, written for someone who has never opened procreate. every tap spelled out.
