Multicolour macaw paint by numbers kit with a midnight blue background
A macaw perches on a branch, its curved beak turned to the left and its eye bright. Blue, orange, yellow and red meet in the plumage, set against a midnight blue background crossed by splashes of gold paint. The style is modern and pictorial, in portrait format, with broad areas on the body and finer feathers on the wings and tail. The level is advanced and the design has many fine details. This design belongs to our bird paint by numbers collection. The kit contains the linen canvas with outlines and numbers printed on it, numbered acrylic paints ready to use, three brushes (fine, medium and wide) and the paper reference chart.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the midnight blue background and the gold splashes, since they give you a guide for the rest of the picture. Paint the macaw's body in orange and yellow next, then move to the wings, where blue and red sit on narrow feathers. The curved beak and the eye need the fine brush and a steady hand. With this much detail, a 40x50 cm or 60x80 cm canvas keeps the sections easy to read. The 48 colour option gives you separate shades for the plumage gradients. If you have not painted a kit before, try one of our easy paint by numbers designs first and come back to the macaw afterwards.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this multicolour macaw picture?
The feather detail is high, so size matters. A 40x50 cm canvas keeps the wings and tail readable without stretching the painting time. A 60x80 cm gives more room for the plumage gradients and gold splashes. Sizes run from 15x15 to 70x80 cm, and the smaller ones mean smaller sections.
Is this design difficult to paint?
The midnight blue background goes down quickly in large areas. The difficulty sits in the wings and tail, cut into narrow sections, and in the curved beak. The level is advanced. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size you choose.
Who is this macaw paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits someone who likes exotic birds or parrots and is happy to spend several evenings on a detailed picture. The dark background with gold splashes also works in a living room or a study, and the portrait format hangs well on a free stretch of wall.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the midnight blue background and the gold splashes first, then the orange and yellow body, then the wings with their narrow feathers. Keep the fine brush for the beak and eye. Check each area against the paper chart before you open a new pot, so the numbers on the feathers stay clear.
Which colour option should I take?
The kit is available with 24, 36 or 48 colours. The 48 colour option gives you separate shades for the gradients where blue, orange, yellow and red meet in the plumage. Fewer colours simplify the palette, but the plumage shows less gradation.
