Chimpanzee on the toilet paint by numbers kit: a funny portrait to paint yourself
A chimpanzee sits on a toilet with a newspaper open in his hands, in a small tiled room seen through a door left ajar. The background is grey and white tiles, the fur is black and brown, and the face is pale pink. A toilet roll and a white towel sit at the side of the scene. The realistic style keeps the situation believable, which is where the humour comes from. The portrait format follows the seated figure and gives the room its depth.
Tips for painting this design
For this chimpanzee on the toilet paint by numbers kit, start with the wall tiles: their regular grey lines set the perspective of the room straight away. Paint the toilet bowl and the floor next, then the white newspaper, whose folds are only just visible. Leave the fur for last and layer black and brown over the numbered areas. The pale pink face and hands need the fine brush. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size, and choose 30x40 cm if you want enough room for the face and the newspaper.

Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit with 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The linen canvas comes with the outlines and numbers already printed, so the chimpanzee, the newspaper and the toilet are drawn for you.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and cover the black, white, grey and pale pink of the fur and the tiles.
Brushes:Three brushes: the fine one for the newspaper and the toilet roll, the medium for the fur, the wide one for the wall tiles.
Guide:The paper guide helps you find the numbers for the chimpanzee, the newspaper and the white towel.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas before you start painting. 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 chimpanzee on the toilet?
30x40 cm suits the medium areas and the few fine details of this design. Choose 40x50 cm if you want the pale pink face and the newspaper easier to paint. 20x30 cm works, but the facial features become small. Sizes run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm.
Is the chimpanzee's fur difficult to paint?
The kit is rated intermediate. The fur is split into separate numbered areas of black and brown, so you paint each one as printed without mixing. Only the pale pink face and hands need the fine brush. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
Who would enjoy this funny picture as a gift?
It suits a friend or colleague who likes absurd humour, and the guest toilet or bathroom is the obvious wall for it. The complete kit includes the canvas, numbered acrylic paints and 3 brushes, and we dispatch within 48 hours.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
On this kit, paint the wall tiles with their grey lines first, then the toilet bowl and the floor, then the white newspaper with its faint folds. Save the chimpanzee's fur for last, layering black and brown. The pale pink face and hands are done with the fine brush.
