What skill level is the Matisse Still Life Paint by Numbers Kit suitable for?

This is a beginner-friendly to intermediate paint by numbers kit for adults. The 24-colour version gives a bold impressionistic result accessible to most adults. The 36 and 48-colour versions are designed for more experienced painters who want to capture the full tonal complexity of the cool blue-grey torso, the floral bouquet detail, and the layered studio interior.

What colour depth should I choose for the Matisse Still Life Kit?

The 24-colour version captures the bold contrast between the vivid flowers, the cool torso, and the deep blue background. The 36-colour version adds tonal depth to the individual blooms and the sculptural form of the torso. The 48-colour version is the ultimate level, fully mapping the loose, confident brushwork of the original across every element of the composition.

What frame options are available?

The kit comes in three frame styles: rolled canvas for framing yourself, a DIY wooden frame kit to stretch and mount at home, or a fully ready-framed option that arrives as a complete gallery-quality piece ready to hang straight from the box.

Is this an official licensed Matisse reproduction?

This work by Henri Matisse is in the public domain. Our canvas is an original interpretation of the composition adapted for paint by numbers and is not affiliated with or licensed by the Matisse estate or any institution.

The Studio in Blue

A classical plaster torso stands on a wooden table beside a glass vase of pink carnations and yellow blooms, all set against a deep cerulean blue studio wall with a decorative tapestry behind and a small framed sketch to the right. This is Matisse's studio at its most serene, a painter's room filled with the things he loved most: flowers, sculpture, colour, and light. Painted circa 1919, it is one of the finest examples of his interior still life work, and as a paint by numbers for adults it is the most compositionally balanced and accessible work in our Famous Art collection. Also part of our Floral and Botanical collection.

Why this studio still life rewards every session

The Flowers Against the Blue

The bouquet of pink carnations and yellow blooms in the green glass vase is the warmest and most vivid element in the entire composition, and it sings precisely because of what surrounds it. The deep cerulean blue of the studio wall is one of the most satisfying large sections to fill in our floral paint by numbers range, and once it is established, the flowers emerge with an intensity that is entirely Matisse's intention. In the 36 and 48-colour versions, the individual blooms have their own tonal mapping, giving you the loose, confident brushwork of the original. For more floral designs, explore our Floral and Botanical collection.

The Torso: Where Sculpture Meets Paint

The plaster torso is one of the most technically interesting sections in the collection. Matisse painted it not as white but as a complex of blue-greys and cool shadows, its classical form dissolving slightly into the blue background behind it. In the 48-colour version, the tonal transitions across the torso are fully mapped, and painting a sculptural form in cool shadow against a cool background is precisely the kind of subtle challenge that separates an experienced painter from a beginner. For portrait and figure painting techniques that apply directly to this kind of tonal work, our portrait painting guide covers the approach in detail.

A Companion to the Standing Woman

Together with our Matisse Standing Woman kit, this piece completes a two-work studio series that spans the full range of his Nice and Paris period work: bold Fauvist interior in one, serene still life in the other. Both are available in the same colour depths and frame options, making them a natural pair for a gallery wall. For a personal alternative at the same quality level, our custom paint by numbers service creates a numbered canvas from any photograph, or our custom pet paint by numbers does the same for an animal portrait. Browse the full Famous Art collection for more masterpieces.

(Tip: Paint the blue background wall first across the entire upper canvas and let it dry fully before painting the torso sections adjacent to it. The torso is painted in cool blue-grey tones that sit very close in value to the background, and wet-into-wet application will blur the edges you need to keep clean. Establishing the blue first and painting the torso against a dry background is the key to the composition reading correctly. For more advanced colour management, our 7 pro techniques guide covers edge control in detail.)

More colours mean more detail, smoother transitions, and a more realistic final painting.

24 Colours (Standard): Great for a classic paint by numbers feel with bold, distinct colour blocks. Perfect for beginners and simpler designs.
36 Colours (Most Popular): Highly recommended for most paintings. This option captures subtle details in faces, landscapes, and pets, creating a richer, more nuanced result.
