A Realistic Monkey Paint by Numbers Portrait
This realistic portrait shows an orangutan up close against a blurred jungle. Burnt orange fur fills much of the picture, with long strands of hair falling in different directions. The face is dark, with deep wrinkles and warm brown eyes. Behind it, forest green and olive green melt into soft circles of bokeh. The light is diffused daylight, so the shadows stay gentle. Dark brown and charcoal grey sit in the deepest parts of the face. If you are looking for monkey paint by numbers, this one suits people who enjoy fine detail. The level of detail is high, so it rewards a patient approach. The soft background gives you a calmer area to paint between sessions on the fur. You receive a printed linen canvas with numbered outlines, numbered acrylic paint pots, three brushes and a paper guide, with free UK delivery.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the green background, using the large brush for the broad areas and the medium brush for the round bokeh highlights. This gets you used to the numbers before you reach the fur. Move on to the face next and paint the dark skin and wrinkles with the medium brush. Keep the fine brush for the eyes and the thin strands of hair, as these small shapes need a steady hand. Work in one colour at a time across the fur so the orange tones stay even. We would suggest the 36 or 48 colour option, because extra shades give smoother changes between the fur, the shadows and the background. A larger canvas size also leaves more room for the small hair details, and it usually takes the longer end of the 12 to 30 hours.
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.

Guide:The paper guide shows the numbered colours so you can check each pot as you work through the portrait.

Questions about this design
Which size is best for this orangutan portrait?
We offer 9 sizes from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. The fur and hair strands are detailed, so a larger size gives you more room for the small shapes, while a smaller size works well if you prefer a shorter project.
Which part of the orangutan is the hardest to paint?
The long strands of hair and the wrinkles around the face need the most care. Use the fine brush for these, work one colour at a time and let each area dry before painting next to it.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
It suits animal lovers and anyone who likes realistic pictures with plenty of detail. It includes everything needed to start, from the acrylic paints to the three brushes, and delivery in the UK is free.
