Difficulty level : Advanced
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.
Multicoloured macaw paint by numbers kit: a portrait to paint area by area
The macaw sits on a branch with its body turned to the left. Deep blue covers the wings, green runs down the back, and yellow and orange fill the chest. The head has a black beak and a pale area around the eye. The branch crosses the lower part of the canvas, and a yellow glow shows through the dark tropical foliage behind the bird. This multicoloured macaw paint by numbers kit is in portrait format, in an expressive oil painting style, on linen with the outlines and numbers printed. Medium areas dominate, with some fine details in the feathers. The level is intermediate. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size, which ranges from 20x30 to 60x80 cm across 12 options, with 24, 36 or 48 colours.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the dark background and the foliage, then the branch. The wide brush covers the foliage quickly. Leave the plumage until last, as it holds the most detail. The blue to green transitions on the wings need the fine brush, and each colour should dry before you add the next so the edges stay clean. The black beak and the outline of the eye go on at the end. A 40x50 cm canvas leaves enough room for these details without stretching the working time.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, 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 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:Linen printed with the parrot, the branch and the tropical foliage, each area outlined and numbered.
Paint:Numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, covering the blue, green, yellow, orange and black of the plumage and the background.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the feathers and the eye, the medium one for the branch and the wide one for the dark foliage.
Guide:The paper chart of the design lets you check the number of any area on the parrot or the vegetation.
Optional:A wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas. Without it, the canvas arrives rolled. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
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.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this macaw painting?
Choose 40x50 cm for the medium areas and fine details of the plumage. It leaves room for the wing feathers without stretching the working time. 30x40 cm works if you are new to painting, though the wing feathers are tighter. 60x80 cm gives the foliage more room.
Is the multicoloured plumage difficult to paint?
The kit is intermediate level. The wings carry the most numbered areas, with shifts from blue to green, so use the fine brush there and for the outline of the eye. The chest and back are broader areas and go faster.
Does the macaw kit come with a frame?
You choose when ordering. The canvas ships rolled without a frame, or with a wooden frame to assemble that stretches the canvas for hanging once painted. You also pick the number of colours (24, 36 or 48) and one of the 9 sizes.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For someone who likes tropical birds and wants a colourful canvas to hang. The 40x50 cm with frame can go straight on the wall once finished. Allow 12 to 30 hours of painting depending on the size.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the dark background and the foliage, then the branch. Leave the multicoloured plumage until last, as it is the most detailed area. The paper chart is there to check the numbers of the areas, and it does not set the painting order.
