iWhat does this level mean?
- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
Bullfinch paint by numbers kit: a pair on a flowering branch
The male bullfinch has a red breast and a black cap. The female beside him is more subdued, in brown and beige plumage. Both have their wings slightly open. Pink flowers and white buds grow along the wood, and small green leaves fill the lower part of the branch. The background stays light beige, with a blue and yellow gradient at the edges. The portrait format keeps the two birds in the centre of the canvas, so the eye lands on them first. This realistic design is rated intermediate: most areas are medium-sized, with some fine details on the feathers. Every area is outlined and numbered on the canvas, from the red of the breast to the grey of the wings.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the beige background and the blue and yellow gradient. These large areas go quickly with the wide brush. Paint the pink flowers with the medium brush, then the green leaves. Leave the male's red breast and black cap for last, because these flat areas show every uneven stroke and call for the fine brush. The female's brown and grey plumage works best in small strokes that follow the direction of the feathers. A 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm canvas keeps this level of detail comfortable to paint. If you want to paint another bird afterwards, our bird paint by numbers range has more designs, and the pink blossom here also suits anyone who likes flower paint by numbers kits.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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 linen canvas arrives with the outlines and numbers of both bullfinches and the flowering branch already printed.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and cover the beige, pink, black, grey and brown of the birds and blossom.
Brushes:Three brushes: the fine one for feathers and buds, the medium for flowers, the wide for the beige background.
Guide:The printed paper guide helps you match each number to the bullfinch and branch areas.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the canvas before you start on the birds. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
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.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this bullfinch picture?
30x40 cm holds both birds and the branch with room for the feather detail. 40x50 cm makes the pink flowers and feathers easier to read. 20x30 cm works, but the feather detail is tighter. The range runs from 20x30 to 60x80 cm.
Is this design difficult to paint?
It is rated intermediate. The beige background and the flowers fill in quickly with the wide and medium brushes. The male's red breast and black cap, and the female's brown plumage, need the fine brush and a steady hand. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For someone who likes garden birds or nature scenes and has already painted a simpler kit. The portrait format suits a narrow wall. The box holds the printed canvas, three brushes and numbered acrylic pots, ready to use.
Should I choose the canvas with or without a frame?
Without a frame, the canvas arrives rolled, which suits you if you plan to frame it yourself later. With the frame, you receive a wooden frame to assemble and can stretch the canvas before painting the birds. Both options are dispatched within 48 hours.
