Polar Express - Dot painting

Polar Express dot painting through the snow

A steam train pushing through a winter landscape, smoke trailing behind it. Machinery against snow is a strong contrast, and this canvas leans on it throughout.

A steam train, snow and a marker in your hand. Dot painting lets you fill printed circles one by one, with no drawing and no cleanup.

What is in the dot painting kit

Everything you need comes in one box:

• Printed canvas: sturdy, with the locomotive finely drawn.
• Guide: one page of practical notes.
• Double-tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the engine and the smoke.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the wheels, the rails and the fir trees.

A December project

Winter subjects suit winter evenings. It comes out with the first cold week and goes away again in spring.

Smoke curls, rails stretch on: it is an easy project to share with a friend on a snowy evening, or to savor alone. A dot art painting kit with everything included.

Smoke against a pale sky

Keep the smoke loose and thinning as it rises. Dot it evenly and it becomes a solid bar across the canvas.

Tightly packed rows lend the locomotive weight against the soft snow. Hang it in a hallway or study.
