Difficulty level : Intermediate
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.
Four tits on forsythia branches paint by numbers kit: a portrait canvas of garden birds
Four tits perch on slender, flowering forsythia branches. The canvas is in portrait format with a plain beige background, so all the attention goes to the birds. The plumage combines blue, yellow and beige, and the forsythia flowers appear as bright yellow dots along the twigs. Green buds mark the spots where the wood turns to blossom. The outlines are clear and the level is intermediate: the colour areas are broad on the bodies and finer on the legs and around the eyes. The numbers are printed on the linen canvas and the acrylic paints are ready to use. Count on around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you choose. If you enjoy garden birds, our bird paint by numbers collection has more designs to choose from.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the beige background and the central wash, then paint the brown branches. Fill the blue and yellow bodies of the tits area by area before moving on to the details. The eyes, the beak and the legs call for the fine brush, so keep them for the end. The forsythia flowers go on in yellow directly on the twigs, with no mixing. Choose the 30x40 cm or the 40x50 cm for this level of detail: in smaller sizes the flowers are hard to define. The yellow blossoms also pair well with the designs in our flower paint by numbers range if you want a matching set for one wall.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The linen canvas is printed with the outlines of the four tits and the forsythia branches, so each area is already marked out.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the yellow, beige, green, blue and brown used on the birds and the flowers. You can choose 24, 36 or 48 colours.
Brushes:The fine brush handles the feather details and the small yellow flowers. The medium and wide brushes cover the branches and the background.
Guide:The paper guide to the design lets you check the numbers of the areas on the tits and the flowers before you paint.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas while you paint the four tits.
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 paint by numbers of tits on branches?
Choose 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm. At these sizes the four birds stay clear and the small yellow forsythia flowers are easy to define. In sizes such as 15x15 cm the flowers and the area around the eyes become hard to paint. The largest sizes, up to 70x80 cm, leave more room for the feathers.
Are the details of the tits hard to paint?
The level is intermediate. The bodies and wings are filled with medium areas. The eyes, the beak and the legs are finer and need the fine brush. Allow around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you choose.
Who is this painting of tits and forsythia for?
It suits anyone who likes garden birds and spring scenes. The portrait format fits a narrow wall or a hallway. The kit arrives complete with canvas, paints and brushes, so it can be given as it is, with your choice of colours and frame.
How many colours does this kit come with?
You can choose 24, 36 or 48 colours. The dominant shades are yellow, beige, green, blue and brown. Pick 24 for fewer pots to manage, or 48 for more shades across the plumage and the forsythia flowers.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Begin with the beige background and the central wash, then paint the brown branches. Fill the blue and yellow bodies of the tits area by area. Keep the eyes, the beak and the legs for the end with the fine brush. The forsythia flowers go on in yellow directly on the twigs, with no mixing.
How do I revive dried paint?
The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use. If the paint thickens, add a drop of water and stir. Close each pot after use to stop it drying out, and work area by area so the paint is not left open to the air for long.
