The Freddie Mercury paint by numbers of him in concert
This Freddie Mercury paint by numbers puts the singer centre stage, microphone on a stand, thick moustache and short black hair. Behind him, a crowd raises its hands under strings of lights. The setting is a huge concert hall. The colours are mainly black, gold, white, purple and red. The style is an expressive painting, with a medium level of detail. The square canvas carries the outlines and the numbers. The kit contains the numbered acrylic pots, three brushes and the paper reference sheet.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the black of the hall and the purple areas, then move on to the microphone and its stand. Save the whites and golds for the strings of lights and the faces in the crowd: these areas are small and need the fine brush. The moustache and hair are painted last, in a clean black. The medium detail suits a 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm size. Below 20x30 cm, the raised hands become hard to define.
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 the kit contains
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the singer at the centre of the stage, the microphone and the crowd.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the black of the hair, the gold of the strings of lights, the white, the purple and the red.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the outlines of the microphone and the moustache, the medium for the face, the broad for the crowd.
Guide:The paper reference sheet of the design helps you check the numbers of the areas of the singer, the stage and the strings of lights.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the concert 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 Freddie Mercury painting?
30x30 cm or 40x40 cm suits the medium detail of the scene. 40x50 cm leaves more room for the strings of lights and the hands in the crowd. 15x15 cm is possible but the small elements shrink.
Are the details of the crowd difficult to paint?
The raised hands and the strings of lights form small areas. Use the fine brush and paint one area at a time. The paper reference sheet shows each number. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size you choose.
Who is this Freddie Mercury paint by numbers kit a gift for?
For a rock or concert fan, or for someone who enjoys painting portraits of singers. The kit contains the printed canvas, the numbered pots and three brushes. It comes in 24, 36 or 48 colours.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The medium detail of this painting stays manageable. The black background and the purple areas are painted first, then the microphone and the stand. The whites, golds and faces in the crowd are small and need the fine brush. The moustache and hair come last.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Follow the order on the sheet: black background and purples, then microphone and stand, then the whites and golds of the strings of lights and the faces, and finally the moustache and hair in a clean black. The paper reference sheet is there to check the numbers of the areas, not to choose the order. Use the fine brush for the small areas.
