Difficulty level : Advanced
iWhat does this level mean?
- 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.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
Paint this golden pharaoh mask by numbers yourself
The golden pharaoh mask sits at the centre of the canvas, topped with the blue and gold striped nemes headdress. This pharaoh mask paint by numbers follows the stylised features of the royal face: eyes outlined in black, ceremonial beard and uraeus on the forehead. The plain deep blue background sets the mask apart and brings out the gold areas. The turquoises of the nemes add a cool note to the warm whole. The outlines stay clear on the large areas, with medium detail on the stripes and eyes. The square format suits a centred composition. Each numbered area matches a paint pot supplied.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the plain deep blue background, it covers large areas and sets up the contrast. Then move on to the flat gold of the face, followed by the stripes of the nemes: alternate gold and turquoise following the numbers. The stylised eyes and the uraeus need a fine brush and a steady hand, so paint them last. Use two thin coats on the gold to avoid brush marks. A 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm size is enough for this medium level of detail.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, 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
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the golden mask, the nemes headdress and the deep blue background.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the gold, deep blue, turquoise, black and white of the mask and headdress.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the stylised eyes and the uraeus, the medium brush for the beard, the large brush for the deep blue background.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers of the mask, headdress and background areas.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the printed canvas of the mask before painting.
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 finished picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this pharaoh mask?
The picture is square. A 30x30 cm works for medium detail, a 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm leaves more room for the nemes stripes and the eyes. Avoid the 15x15 cm if you want to paint the uraeus neatly.
Are the details of the face difficult to paint?
No, the outlines stay clear. The finest areas are the eyes, the uraeus and the nemes stripes. They need the fine brush and a little patience, the rest is painted in flat areas.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For fans of ancient Egypt and anyone who likes bold, contrasting patterns. The plain background and centred mask make the picture readable from the first painted areas, which suits a gift for a beginner adult.
How do I rescue dried paint?
On this kit the pots are ready to use. If a thin coat dries too quickly on the canvas, apply a second coat of the same number. For a pot left open, add a drop of water and mix. Paint the deep blue background first, then the flat gold of the face, and keep the eyes and uraeus for the end.
What is the painting called where you paint by numbers?
It is paint by numbers. Here the linen canvas is printed with the outlines and numbers, and each acrylic pot carries a number. The paper guide helps you check the areas. Follow the order on the sheet: deep blue background, flat gold, nemes stripes, then eyes and uraeus with the fine brush.
