- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.

Paint by numbers an Egyptian temple with giant columns
This paint by numbers for adults shows a hypostyle hall with giant columns covered in coloured hieroglyphs and geometric patterns. Two pharaoh statues frame the central passage under a deep blue sky. Golden sand covers the floor and steps. The main colours are golden ochre, turquoise, terracotta and beige sand. Wall torches add orange areas between the columns. The drawing keeps a high level of detail: every column ring, every band of hieroglyphs and every statue face has its own number. The square format matches the framing of the illustration.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the deep blue sky at the top, then the beige sand on the floor: these are the two largest areas and they set the light of the picture straight away. Keep the hieroglyphs and geometric patterns for the end, fine brush in hand, as the areas there are small and numerous. Turquoise and golden ochre often touch on the columns: let them dry before painting the neighbouring colour. For this level of detail, choose 40x40 cm or larger and the 36 colour option.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with a wooden frame to assemble or with the canvas already mounted on its frame (except in 50x70 and 60x80 cm, delivered rolled). Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the giant columns, coloured hieroglyphs and pharaoh statues.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the golden ochre, turquoise, deep blue, terracotta and beige sand of the temple.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the hieroglyphs and geometric patterns, the medium for the columns, the large for the deep blue sky.
Guide:The paper guide helps you check the numbers for the wall torches and the golden sand areas.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the temple canvas; otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
With frame
Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the picture on the wall.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this Egyptian temple?
The design is square and very detailed. Take 40x40 cm minimum so the hieroglyphs stay readable under the brush. 50x50 cm works if you want to paint the geometric patterns without straining the fine brush.
Are the hieroglyphs difficult to paint?
They take patience: each band contains small separate areas. Use the fine brush and work band by band, from top to bottom. The 36 colour option helps you tell the turquoises from the blues on the columns.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For fans of ancient Egypt and anyone who likes architectural scenes. The square format and high level of detail suit an adult already comfortable with paint by numbers.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Paint the deep blue sky first, then the beige sand on the floor, the two large areas. Keep the hieroglyphs and geometric patterns for the end with the fine brush. Let the turquoise and golden ochre dry between coats on the columns. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of the areas.
What are the standard sizes for a picture?
The kit ranges from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. For this temple with its giant columns and hieroglyphs, choose 40x40 cm or larger with the 36 colour option. Painting time runs from around 20 to 40 h depending on the size you pick.
