Five Yellow Birds on a Branch Paint by Numbers

Five yellow birds on a branch paint by numbers kit: what you will paint

Five yellow birds sit shoulder to shoulder on a branch that runs diagonally across the canvas. Green leaves and pink flowers fill the background and stay blurred, so the birds hold the foreground. The main colours are the yellow of the feathers, the green of the foliage, the pink of the flowers and the brown of the bark, with grey on the bellies. The landscape format places the group in the centre of the canvas. The level is advanced: the soft feathers and the many small details call for a steady hand. If you like this subject, our bird paint by numbers collection lets you compare other designs.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the birds: the yellow of the body, then the grey of the belly and the brown of the legs. The feathers need the most attention, so paint them in small strokes following the numbers. Move on to the branch and bark, then the green leaves. Keep the pink flowers for last, as they are the smallest areas. Choose 40x50 cm or larger: with this much detail, the five birds need room to stay clear.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). Each size is available with 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 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. The landscape format hangs well above a sofa or sideboard, and the yellow, green and pink palette brightens a light room.
