Rabbit in a Spring Tulip Garden Paint by Numbers

A realistic rabbit paint by numbers for spring

This rabbit paint by numbers shows a brown and white rabbit in the centre of a tulip garden. Its ears stand upright and its dark eyes look out from the scene. The white fur on its chest contrasts with the warmer brown of its coat. Red and yellow tulips crowd around it on every side. Green leaves and stems fill the gaps between the flowers, with a strip of soil at ground level. The light is bright daylight, so the colours look clean and fresh. The style is realistic and the level of detail is high, with plenty of small numbered areas in the fur and petals. If you search for a bunny paint by numbers, this one gives you a lot to get your brush into. The design is square, so it hangs neatly on its own or beside other pictures. Each kit comes with the printed linen canvas, numbered acrylic paints, three brushes and a paper guide.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the green leaves and stems, as they cover large areas and help you get used to the numbers. Move on to the red and yellow tulips, working one colour at a time so the petals stay tidy. Leave the rabbit until later, when your hand is steadier. Use the fine brush for the eyes, the edges of the ears and the white chest fur, where the shapes are small. The medium brush suits the brown coat, and the large brush is best for the soil and wider patches of leaf. Because the picture has a lot of detail, the 36 or 48 colour option helps with the shading in the fur and petals. Let each layer dry before painting next to it, so the colours do not blend where you want a sharp edge.

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.
