A golden Egyptian queen paint by numbers portrait
This golden Egyptian queen paint by numbers kit reproduces a portrait of Cleopatra against a background of hieroglyphs. The face sits in the centre, framed by a golden headdress and a necklace of turquoise beads. The eyes, outlined with black kohl, draw the gaze. The white drape of the fabric contrasts with the midnight blue of the background. Dangling earrings complete the finery. The palette is built on gold, turquoise, sand beige and black. The hieroglyph outlines call for precision at the edges. Each numbered area matches one pot of acrylic paint. The square format sets off the bust. The finished piece measures between 15x15 cm and 70x80 cm depending on the option chosen.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the hieroglyphs in the background in midnight blue, then the white drape. Save the golden tones of the headdress for last: they cover large areas and go on better on a canvas that is already stable. The turquoise necklace and beads need a fine brush, as does the kohl around the eyes. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger to make out the stones of the necklace. Below 30x30 cm, the hieroglyphs become hard to define.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. 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 Cleopatra portrait, with its hieroglyphs in the background.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the gold, turquoise, midnight blue, sand beige and black of the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the kohl-lined eyes and the hieroglyphs, the broad one for the white drape.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers on the golden headdress and the stone necklace.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the portrait canvas before painting.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint 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 finished picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this Egyptian queen portrait?
40x50 cm offers a good balance between detail and working time. 30x30 cm suits you if you are a beginner, but the hieroglyphs in the background stay cramped. 60x80 cm leaves enough room for the necklace beads and the features of the face.
Are the necklace and hieroglyph details difficult to paint?
The necklace and hieroglyphs are among the finest areas. Use the fine brush and work in small strokes. The rest of the portrait, headdress and drape, paints easily with the medium or broad brush.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits fans of Egyptian history and people who like portraits. The kit is suitable from age 12 with a little patience. Allow around 20 to 40 h of work depending on the size, a gift for a birthday or a calm activity.
How do you use a paint by numbers kit?
Paint the hieroglyphs in the background in midnight blue, then the white drape, and save the golden tones of the headdress for last. The paper guide helps you check the numbers of the areas. Use the fine brush for the turquoise necklace, the beads and the kohl around the eyes.
What are the standard sizes for a painting?
Sizes run from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. For this portrait, choose 40x50 cm or larger so you can make out the stones of the necklace. Below 30x30 cm, the hieroglyphs become hard to define.
