About this section
Fairy-tale subjects: Russian folk tales, European stories, enchanted castles, talking animals, illustrations in the spirit of book graphics.
Fairy-tale illustration sits between animation and painting: the outline is softer than in a cartoon but the fills are larger than in realism. That makes this section comfortable for painting alongside an older child. Nearly every design is level three — there are no sharp jumps across the section. The section currently holds 339 designs.
Sizes, difficulty and palette
Canvas formats here run from 40x40 to 80x120 cm — 12 sizes in total. The most common one is 40x60 cm: 40 designs.
Difficulty runs from level 3 to level 5, and level 3 covers 98% of the designs. Palettes range from 16 to 24 colours.
What comes in the box
Every kit in this section ships the same way: a cotton canvas already stretched over a wooden frame, numbered acrylic paints, two brushes, a control sheet and instructions. Nothing else is needed to start, and once the paint has dried the canvas hangs on the wall without a frame.
