Veiled Chameleon in Tropical Jungle Paint by Numbers

A Detailed Chameleon Paint by Numbers Jungle Scene

This chameleon paint by numbers shows a veiled chameleon resting on a mossy branch in a dense jungle. Its tail is curled tightly and its body is painted in rich emerald green and teal. Purple and pink orchid flowers hang around the branch and add bright colour to the scene. Layers of fern leaves and tropical foliage fill the space behind the animal. Soft sunbeams stream down through the trees in daytime light. Small sparkling dots of light float across the picture and add a gentle glow. Touches of gold warm the highlights among the greens. The style is realistic and the level of detail is high, so the picture rewards patient, steady painting. Each numbered area on the canvas matches a colour in your paint set. You receive a printed linen canvas with numbered outlines, numbered acrylic paints, three brushes and a paper guide, with free UK delivery.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the large areas of foliage in the background, working from the darker greens towards the lighter ones. Paint the moss-covered branch next, then move on to the chameleon itself once the surroundings are dry. Use the fine brush for the curled tail, the eye and the small sections on the body, where the shapes are tight. The medium brush suits the orchid petals and fern leaves, and the large brush covers the bigger patches of leaf and background quickly. Leave the sunbeams and the sparkling dots until the end, so you can place them neatly over dry colour. A 36 or 48 colour set gives you more separate shades of green, teal and purple, which helps the realistic style show through. Take breaks on the busiest sections, because the high level of detail is easier to enjoy at a relaxed pace.

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.

What's in the kit

• Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries clear numbered outlines for every leaf, petal and scale of the chameleon scene.
• Paint:The numbered acrylic paint pots cover emerald green, teal, purple, pink and gold, plus the extra shades needed for the jungle.
• Brushes:Use the fine brush for the chameleon's tail and eye, the medium brush for orchids and ferns, and the large brush for background foliage.
• Guide:The paper guide helps you match each number to its colour and plan which areas to paint first.
• Optional:A wooden frame is available to assemble, so the finished jungle scene can hang on your wall, otherwise the canvas arrives rolled. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
