Colourful Pop Art Butterfly Paint by Numbers

A colourful pop art butterfly paint by numbers kit

A butterfly with open wings sits in the centre of the canvas on a light beige background. The pop art style relies on thick black outlines that separate every colour. The symmetrical wings carry green and orange circles, yellow and blue stripes and small decorative dots. Black antennae rise above the body. Because the outlines are bold, you can see where each colour stops before you pick up the brush. The kit contains a printed linen canvas, numbered acrylic paints, three brushes (fine, medium and wide) and a paper reference sheet. You choose from twelve square or rectangular sizes, from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. If you like brightly coloured designs, our easy paint by numbers kits include other graphic subjects at a similar level.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the large blue and yellow stripes on the wings. Move on to the green and orange circles, which need a steadier hand. Use the fine brush for the black outlines and the decorative dots, then finish with the antennae. The detail level suits sizes from 30x30 cm upwards. On 15x15 cm the small circles are still possible, but you will need to load the brush lightly. For a bolder wall piece, our pop art paint by numbers range has more designs in the same graphic style.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit with 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

What's in the kit
