- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.

Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
Goldfinch on Sunflower Paint by Numbers Kit: a landscape bird canvas
A goldfinch stands on a sunflower with its head turned to the right. The plumage gives you four colour zones to paint: red on the face, black on the wings, white on the cheeks and brown on the back. Yellow petals open in a crown around the brown centre of the flower. The background stays light, in beige and golden tones, with a few dried thistles at the edges. The illustration is realistic, with medium areas and some fine details, which is why we rate it intermediate. The landscape format suits a living room or kitchen wall. If the flower is what draws you, see our sunflower paint by numbers designs, or browse more bird paint by numbers kits.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the large light areas of the beige background, using the wide brush, then move to the yellow petals with the medium one. Leave the brown centre and the dried thistles until the end, so your hand does not rest on wet paint. The plumage needs the most attention. Paint the brown back first, then the black wings, and finish with the red face and white cheeks using the fine brush. A 30x40 cm size gives enough room for this level of detail. Choose 36 colours if you want smooth yellow and brown gradients.

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.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for the goldfinch on a sunflower?
30x40 cm suits the medium level of detail in this design. Go to 40x50 cm if you want the petals and plumage easier to paint with a fine brush. 20x30 cm works for a first canvas, though the red face and white cheeks become small areas. Sizes run from 15x15 to 70x80 cm.
Is the goldfinch's plumage difficult to paint?
The black wings and red face need precision because the areas are small, so keep the fine brush for them. The brown back and white cheeks go faster. The kit is intermediate level, and the whole canvas takes around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
Yes, for someone who likes garden birds or sunflowers and has already tried a first kit, since the level is intermediate. The landscape format hangs well on a living room or kitchen wall. The kit includes the canvas, the numbered pots, three brushes and the paper guide.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
Work through the areas by number, in this order: the beige background, the yellow petals, then the brown centre and the dried thistles. On the goldfinch, paint the brown back, the black wings, the red face and the white cheeks. The paper guide lets you check each number as you go.
How many colours should I choose: 24, 36 or 48?
36 colours suit the yellow and brown gradients of the petals and plumage. 24 colours keep the palette simpler, with fewer pots to handle. 48 colours give the most shading. In every option the acrylic pots are numbered and ready to use, so you paint straight from the pot without mixing.
