A chameleon paint by numbers for rainy days
This chameleon paint by numbers shows a colourful reptile resting on a moss-covered branch in a lush tropical rainforest. Its skin is built from emerald green, teal blue, golden yellow and touches of vivid magenta. The tail winds into a neat spiral below the body. Fine rain streaks fall across the whole scene in soft, diffused daylight. Water droplets sit on the leaves and on the skin, and the scales have a glistening, textured look. Pink tropical flowers add bright spots against the deep forest green of the fern-like foliage. The style is mosaic pointillism, so the picture is made up of many small, separate patches of colour. The level of detail is high, which makes it a rewarding project for a patient painter. Your kit arrives with 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 large areas of deep forest green in the foliage, using the large brush so you cover them quickly. Move on to the moss on the branch and the broad emerald patches on the chameleon's body with the medium brush. Keep the fine brush for the small scale patches, the eye area, the spiral tail and the water droplets. Work in one colour at a time, and let each patch dry before painting a neighbouring one so the edges stay clean. Paint the pink flowers and the golden yellow highlights near the end, as they sit on top of the greens. Because the picture is so detailed, we suggest the 36 or 48 colour option, which gives more separate shades for the scales and the rain-soaked leaves. Choose a larger canvas size if you would like the small patches to be easier to reach.

Questions about this design
What size should I choose for the chameleon picture?
The design is square and comes in 12 sizes from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. Because the scales and droplets are small, a larger size gives you more room for the detail, while a smaller size is quicker to finish. Painting time is around 12 to 30 hours depending on size.
Which part of the chameleon picture is the hardest?
The scaly skin and the water droplets need the most patience, as the patches are small and sit close together. Use the fine brush, paint one colour at a time and let each patch dry first. Choosing 36 or 48 colours also helps by giving you more shades for these areas.
Who is this chameleon kit a good gift for?
It suits anyone who likes animals, bright colours or tropical scenes. The high level of detail makes it a good fit for people who enjoy a longer, absorbing project. Everything needed is included, and delivery in the UK is free.
