A robin on a snowy branch paint by numbers to paint yourself
This robin on a snowy branch paint by numbers shows a bird with orange and brown plumage perched on a snow covered twig. Clusters of red berries hang nearby against a blurred winter background. White dominates the branch and the flakes, and the red of the berries answers the orange of the breast. The grey background isolates the subject. The drawing stays precise: feathers on the wing, shadows under the tail, small piles of snow on the wood. The square format suits this centred composition. The printed canvas carries the outlines and numbers, and the acrylic paint pots are ready to use. Allow around 20 to 40 hours of work depending on the size you choose.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the grey background and the white areas of snow: they go on in flat coats and free up the outline of the bird. Save the red of the berries for the end, with a fine brush, as the clusters are small and tightly packed. The orange breast needs two coats to cover the outline. On the wing feathers, work number by number without spilling over into the neighbouring brown. Choose 30x30 cm or 40x40 cm: the square format keeps the subject centred and the plumage detail stays clear.
Sizes, colours and painting time
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 20 to 40 hours depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines of the robin, the snowy branch and the clusters of red berries.
Paint:The acrylic pots cover the white, red, brown, orange and grey of the robin and the winter background.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the detailed plumage and snowflakes, the medium for the berries, the large for the background.
Guide:The paper guide helps you check the numbers for the robin and the snow covered branch.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the robin 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 robin?
30x30 cm or 40x40 cm suit the square framing. Below 20x30 cm, the berry clusters and wing feathers become too small to fill. Above 50x50 cm, the grey background takes a lot of time.
Are the plumage details difficult to paint?
The wing plumage and the snow on the branch include small numbered areas. Use a fine brush and work area by area. The level stays manageable with the 36 colour option, which gives more shades for the browns and greys.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
For someone who loves garden birds and winter scenes. The subject is easy to recognise and the square format hangs on its own on a wall. The kit contains the canvas, brushes and numbered paint pots, with no extra materials needed.
How do you paint by numbers?
Start with the grey background and the white areas of snow in flat coats, then paint the orange breast in two coats. On the wing, follow each number without spilling over into the neighbouring brown. Save the red of the berries for the end with the fine brush. The paper guide helps you check the numbers for each area.
How do you thin acrylic paint?
The pots are ready to use. If a colour drags, add a drop of water and mix. The robin's orange breast needs two coats to cover the outline. Save the red of the berries for the end, with the fine brush, as the clusters are small and tightly packed.
