A penguin paint by numbers scene on the ice
This penguin iceberg paint by numbers shows a colony of penguins gathered on a block of ice. The pink sky fades down to a pale blue horizon. On the ice, the penguins stand in tight groups, black backs and white bellies. Turquoise water fills the lower part of the picture and reflects the shapes of the iceberg. A few grey and pink clouds cross the sky. The scene is set in Antarctica at dusk. The printed canvas marks every area with a number. The acrylic paint pots are ready to use. Three brushes in different sizes are included. The paper chart helps you keep track of your progress.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the pink sky and the clouds, then move on to the turquoise water. The penguins need care: their black and white shapes are small and there are many of them. Paint them with the fine brush, one group at a time. Paint the iceberg last, blending white into grey and pale blue. The level of detail is high: choose a size of 40x50 cm or larger to keep the areas crisp. The 30x30 cm works if you want a more compact picture.
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 is in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers for the penguins, the iceberg and the ice.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the pink of the sky, the pale blue, the white, the turquoise and the grey.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the penguin outlines, the medium for the clouds, the broad for the pink sky and the water.
Guide:The paper chart of the design helps you check the numbers on the iceberg, the reflections and the icy horizon.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the Antarctic dusk canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled in a tube.
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 picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this penguin colony?
The detail is high, with many small penguins. A size of 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm leaves enough room for each area. The 30x30 cm is still possible for a more compact result.
Are the penguins difficult to paint?
Their shapes are small and close together. Use the fine brush and paint one group at a time. The outlines printed on the canvas help you keep the shapes crisp.
Who is this penguin picture a good gift for?
For lovers of polar animals and cold landscapes. The complete kit with canvas, paints and brushes suits someone who enjoys painting without drawing. The pink sky also appeals to beginners.
How do I start a paint by numbers picture?
On this canvas, paint the pink sky and the clouds first, then the turquoise water. Next tackle the penguins with the fine brush, one group at a time, following the numbers on the paper chart. Finish with the iceberg, blending white into grey and pale blue.
How does paint by numbers work?
Each area has a number that matches a pot of paint. The paper chart is there to check the numbers, not the painting order. Here, follow the order on the sheet: pink sky, turquoise water, penguins with the fine brush, then the iceberg last.
