Capture the quiet beauty of winter in the Southwest with this guided gouache paint-by-number kit inspired by a snow-covered scene in Chaco Canyon National Historical Park in New Mexico. Designed for national park lovers, Southwest travelers, winter landscape enthusiasts, and detail-loving painters, this kit helps you create a finished painting with the luminous look and feel of hand-painted gouache.
The composition features a peaceful Chaco Canyon snow scene with glowing sunset light, cool blue-violet shadows, winter grasses, dark desert shrubs, and soft bands of warm yellow, peach, coral, mauve, and lavender across the sky. The contrast between snow, desert vegetation, and New Mexico light gives the painting a distinctive sense of place, capturing the stillness and atmosphere of Chaco in winter.
The design has been translated into numbered color areas using a coordinated gouache palette, giving the finished piece depth, warmth, and painterly character while still providing clear guidance. This advanced kit includes a reference photo, completed painting guide, line drawing, paint-by-number key, coordinated gouache paint pots matched to the numbered palette, and a 5-brush set selected for painting broad sky areas, snow shadows, grasses, shrubs, edges, and final details.
Perfect for a rewarding weekend project, a thoughtful gift, or a creative way to remember the Southwest, this kit invites you to slow down, follow the colors, and paint the parks one brushstroke at a time.
15% of the purchase price of this kit will be donated to the National Park Foundation, supporting work that helps protect and preserve America’s national parks for future generations.
