Capuchin Monkey Eating Orange in Jungle Paint by Numbers

A Capuchin Monkey Paint by Numbers in Mosaic Style

This picture shows a capuchin monkey eating a segment of orange. It sits on a branch covered in moss, with its tail curled to one side. Behind it is a dense tropical jungle of large monstera leaves and green foliage. A few blue flowers add cool spots of colour among the leaves. The palette runs from teal and emerald green to golden brown, bright orange and cobalt blue. The scene is lit by bright daylight, so the greens look lush and the orange stands out clearly. The whole image is built in a mosaic pixel art style, made up of many small blocks of colour. The level of detail is high, which makes it a rewarding project for anyone who likes steady, careful painting. If you are looking for a monkey paint by numbers picture with plenty of colour, this one has it. Each kit includes the printed linen canvas, numbered acrylic paints, three brushes and a paper guide.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the large green areas of foliage, as they cover the most canvas and help you settle into the numbers. Use the large brush for the broad leaf shapes and the medium brush for the branch and the body of the monkey. Save the fine brush for the small blocks around the face, the fingers, the orange segment and the edges of the blue flowers. Paint one colour at a time across the whole canvas, so neighbouring blocks match in tone. Let each block dry before painting the one beside it to keep the edges crisp. Because this design has a lot of small shades, the 36 or 48 colour option helps the fur, moss and leaves look more varied. A larger size gives you bigger blocks to work with, which is easier on the eyes.

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 has numbered outlines marking every small block of the monkey, the branch and the jungle leaves.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots cover the teal, emerald green, golden brown, bright orange and cobalt blue used in this picture.
• Brushes:Fine for the face, fingers and orange segment, medium for the branch and fur, large for the big green leaves.
• Guide:The paper guide shows which number matches which colour, so you can check each block as you go.
