A Christmas elephant paint by numbers kit with holly and red ribbons
A young grey elephant stands in the centre of the picture, with large black eyes. A garland of foliage with holly leaves, red berries and golden baubles frames it, and two red ribbon bows sit on its head and neck. A small white wooden fence covered in frost runs in front, and snow-laden trees fill the background. The cartoon style and portrait format make it easy to hang on a narrow wall or beside a door.
Grey, red, green, white and gold dominate. The red bows and gold baubles stand out against the grey skin and the pale snowy background, so the contrast helps you see where each area ends. It is an intermediate level kit, with medium areas and some fine details.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the white and blue tones of the sky and the trees in the background. Then fill in the elephant's grey body with the medium brush for an even surface. Save the fine brush for the precise details: the outlines of the eyes, the veins of the holly leaves and the golden baubles on the fence. The 36 colour version gives a crisp gradient on the animal's skin.
Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose. If you like animal themes, you can also browse our elephant paint by numbers designs.

Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you find the numbers for areas such as the white fence and the snowy trees.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this design?
The 40x50 cm size gives a balanced surface to make out the details of the elephant's face and the Christmas baubles clearly. Smaller sizes suit you if you are new to painting on canvas.
Are the details of the eyes and holly difficult to paint?
These areas have small numbered sections. Use the fine tip of the supplied brush and avoid loading too much paint so it does not spill over into neighbouring areas.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
This design suits adults and teenagers who like illustrated animals and end of year themes. You can give it as a complete kit or painted and mounted on a frame.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
This medium difficulty kit takes around 12 to 30 h. Follow the tips: start with the sky and the trees, then the elephant's grey body with the medium brush. The fine brush is for the eyes, the holly and the golden baubles.
