The Freddie Mercury neon portrait paint by numbers
This Freddie Mercury paint by numbers shows the singer facing forward, microphone on a stand in front of him, thick moustache and short black hair. His face is caught in a magenta neon glow, with a cyan halo at the side. He wears a dark stage jacket. Behind him, a skyline of skyscrapers stands out against a night blue and purple sky. The square format keeps the portrait centred. The printed canvas carries the outlines and numbers, with 24, 36 or 48 acrylic paint pots depending on the option, three brushes and a paper reference sheet.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the dark areas of the jacket and hair, then move on to the night blue of the skyline. Keep the magenta and cyan for the end: these are the shades that blend fastest on the canvas. The face needs care, especially the moustache and the outline of the microphone. Choose a 30x30 cm size or larger to keep the features readable. The 40x40 cm works well if you want to work on the neon halo without losing the detail of the face.
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 of the Freddie Mercury portrait, the microphone and the night skyline.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the magenta, cyan, black, purple and night blue of the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the moustache and short hair, the medium for the microphone, the large for the cyan halo.
Guide:The paper reference sheet helps you check the numbers on the stage jacket and the magenta neon glow.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed portrait canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube.
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 square portrait?
30x30 cm is the minimum to make out the moustache and microphone. 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm leave more room for the gradients of the neon halo. Avoid 15x15 cm, too small for this level of detail.
Are the facial details difficult to paint?
The face has the smallest areas, particularly the moustache, the eyes and the outline of the microphone. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size. The printed outlines and the paper reference sheet help you follow each number.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
For a Freddie Mercury or rock fan, and for anyone who likes neon portraits. The square format sits easily on a wall or a shelf. The kit contains the canvas, the numbered pots, three brushes and the reference sheet.
How do I start a paint by numbers?
Start with the dark areas of the jacket and hair, then the night blue of the skyline. Keep the magenta and cyan for the end, as these shades blend quickly. The paper reference sheet is for checking the numbers of the areas, not the painting order.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
