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 yellow and blue parakeets paint by numbers kit: four birds on leafy branches
Four parakeets perch on slender branches among eucalyptus leaves and small berries, in a realistic style on a soft, light background. Yellow dominates the heads and breasts, blue marks the wings and tails, and green covers the foliage. Black gives the feather outlines and the eyes, and beige fills the background. The portrait format stacks the birds in a column, two at the top and two at the bottom. Feathers and leaf veins carry many fine details, which is why we rate this kit as advanced. Expect around 20 to 40 h of painting depending on the size you choose. The finished picture suits a living room, a study or a hallway.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the beige background and the soft foliage, then work up towards the branches. Leave the yellow and blue feathers until last, because they are the smallest areas. On the wings, alternate dark blue and light blue following the numbers, and keep the two pots separate so the contrast stays clear. The narrow feather areas are easier to reach on 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm than on the smallest sizes. If birds are your subject, see our bird paint by numbers range, or try nature paint by numbers for other leafy scenes.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit with 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The linen canvas is printed with the outlines of the four parakeets, the branches and the berries, each area marked with its number.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and hold the yellows, blues, greens, blacks and beiges of the birds and foliage.
Brushes:The fine brush handles the feathers, eyes and berries, the medium one the branches, and the wide one the beige background.
Guide:The printed paper guide lets you check the numbers for the bird areas, the leaves and the background.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas, so the parakeets hang ready to display.
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 to paint these four parakeets?
We suggest 40x50 cm: the four birds stay clear and the feathers can be painted without an extremely fine brush. Choose 50x70 cm for more room on the blue wings. The kit comes in 12 sizes from 15x15 to 70x80 cm, and the smallest ones make the feather areas very narrow.
Are the feather details difficult to paint?
Yes, we rate this kit as advanced. Each feather has its own numbered area, often narrow on the wings and tail. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size. The paper guide helps you find the areas before you paint, and the fine brush reaches the narrowest ones.
Should I pick the 24, 36 or 48 colours option?
The kit is available with 24, 36 or 48 colours. A higher count adds more shades, which helps on the yellow breasts and the blue wings. The 24 colours option has fewer pots to manage. Dominant colours stay the same: yellow, blue, green, black and beige.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits someone who loves birds and natural scenes, or who wants a picture for a living room or study. The portrait format fits a hallway well. The kit contains the linen canvas, the numbered pots and three brushes, and it ships within 48 hours.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Begin with the beige background and the soft foliage, then paint the branches. Work one number at a time with the paper guide beside you, and keep the yellow and blue feathers for the end.
What are the tips for paint by numbers?
Use the fine brush for the eyes and beak, and load it lightly so the paint stays inside the small areas. Paint the black feather outlines once the neighbouring colours are dry, so the dark pigment does not blend into the yellow.
