Faber-Castell The Great Wave Scroll Painting Kit – DIY Hanging Wall Art for Kids & Beginners
The Faber-Castell The Great Wave Scroll Painting Kit is a complete DIY wall art project that lets you recreate Hokusai’s iconic Japanese woodblock print. It includes a pre-printed paper scroll, 8 acrylic paints (5ml each), a brush, drop cloth, and instructions—designed for kids ages 8+ and adult beginners. The finished scroll hangs as ready-made wall decor without needing a frame.
What comes in the kit?
- One paper hanging scroll with a detailed pre-printed outline of The Great Wave
- 8 acrylic paints (0.17 fl oz / 5ml each) in vibrant colors
- One paintbrush suitable for fine details and broad strokes
- Protective drop cloth to keep your work area clean
- Instruction sheet with a color chart and step-by-step guidance
The kit measures 1 x 5.63 x 13.75 inches when packaged—compact enough for easy storage or travel.
Is this a paint-by-numbers kit?
No—this is an open-ended painting project. The scroll has a detailed outline but no numbered sections, so you choose your own colors and brushstrokes. The included color chart suggests where to place each shade if you want guidance, but you’re free to experiment with blending and layering the acrylic paints to create your own interpretation of the wave, sky, and boats.
How to display your finished artwork
Once the paint dries, the scroll is ready to hang. Its traditional hanging scroll design includes an integrated system (rod and cord) so you can mount it directly on a wall—no frame or additional hardware needed. It makes a thoughtful handmade gift or a striking piece of cultural décor for any room.
