Three Baby Monkeys at the Pool Paint by Numbers

Three Baby Monkeys at the Pool paint by numbers kit: gold sunglasses, swimsuits and turquoise water

Three baby monkeys in round gold sunglasses stand in a line at the edge of a pool. One wears a white two-piece swimsuit, one yellow swimming shorts and one pink polka dot knickers. Their white fur contrasts with the turquoise water, so each animal is easy to pick out on the canvas. The tiled edge runs along the bottom and the summer background stays blurred. The square format keeps the three monkeys centred. The artwork is a humorous digital illustration, and every area carries a number that matches a pot of acrylic paint. The level is intermediate, with medium areas and some fine details. The design belongs to our funny paint by numbers range, and you can find more painted creatures in our animal paint by numbers kits.

Tips for painting this design

Begin with the turquoise water. It is the largest area and needs two coats to look evenly blue. Paint the tiled edge next, then the white fur of the three monkeys. Keep the fine brush for the gold sunglasses and the dots on the pink knickers. A slight grey tint separates the white swimsuit from the fur, so follow the numbers and do not blend the two. The yellow shorts need a clean coat to stay bright. Count on roughly 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you pick, and choose 40x40 cm if you want enough room for the small details.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, 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.
