Claude Monet painted the lily pond at Giverny for the last thirty years of his life. This kit hands a beginner that same pond and a number guide to get there, one colour at a time, and the result is good enough to put on a wall rather than in a drawer.

Everything but the water cup is in the pack: six pots of acrylic paint, a Faber-Castell brush, and a 6 by 8 inch canvas board with the design printed onto real woven canvas, so the brush has something to bite. Illustrated instructions explain the techniques the masters used and add a few facts about the painting itself. A display easel and a hang tab come in the box, which is the part most kits leave out. Graded by Faber-Castell for ages 8 and up.
