A blue peacock paint by numbers design to paint yourself
This paint by numbers birds design shows a peacock fanning out its tail on a green lawn. The eye feathers sit at the centre of the picture, with turquoise blue, emerald green and golden yellow spots. Around them, pink and white flowering bushes line a garden path. The pale sky lets light fall on the soft grass. Two butterflies rest near the flowers. The square format keeps the peacock at the centre of the composition. Each area of the design carries a number that matches a pot of paint. You follow the paper chart and fill in the areas one by one. The finished piece shows the feathers, flowers and ground in their true colours.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large green areas of the lawn and bushes, then the pale sky. Leave the eye feathers until last: their turquoise, emerald and gold spots need a steady hand, especially at 30x30 cm. Use the fine brush for the eyes and the butterflies. A size of 40x50 cm or larger leaves enough room for the detail in the feathers. Allow around 20 to 40 h of work depending on the size you choose.
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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the peacock in display, the flowering bushes and the garden path.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the turquoise blue, emerald green, golden yellow and pink of the feathers and flowers.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the eye feathers and butterflies, the medium for the bushes, the broad for the sky and lawn.
Guide:The paper chart lets you check the numbers for the peacock, flowers and path before you paint.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas so you can paint the peacock and garden on a stable surface.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
With frame
Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the finished picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this peacock in display?
40x50 cm works well if you want to paint the eye feathers without straining the fine brush. 30x30 cm is still possible on a tighter budget, but the spots on the feathers become small.
Are the eye feathers difficult to paint?
They need care: each eye mixes several colours in a small area. Paint the blue and green around them first, then the yellow and turquoise spots with the fine brush.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
For people who like birds and flowering gardens, and who are happy to work over several sessions. The square format sits well on a living room or bedroom wall.
