Paint by numbers: two scarlet macaws on their branch
This scarlet macaw jungle paint by numbers kit shows two parrots sitting side by side on a brown branch. The first turns its head towards the second, hooked beak open. Their plumage mixes bright red, blue and yellow on the wings. Around them, large jungle green tropical leaves fill the background and the edges of the square frame. Canopy light passes between the leaves and leaves lighter areas on the feathers. The printed outline separates each colour area, including the small tail feathers and the veins of the leaves. The square format keeps both birds at the centre of the composition.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large jungle green leaves, they set the density of the background straight away. Keep the red and blue feathers for the end: they are the smallest and most numerous areas. On the beaks and around the eyes, use the fine brush and load little paint so you do not go over the lines. A 40x40 cm size or larger leaves enough room for the feather detail. Allow several sessions for the wings.
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.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the two scarlet macaws, the large tropical leaves and the tree branch.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the bright red, jungle green, blue, yellow and brown seen in the plumage and the canopy.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the hooked beaks and feather detail, the medium for the leaves, the broad for the jungle backgrounds.
Guide:The paper guide to the design lets you check the numbers for the red and blue feather areas and the leaves.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble is optional and stretches the printed canvas so you can paint the macaws and jungle on a stable surface.
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 macaw picture?
40x40 cm suits the square framing and leaves enough room for the small feathers. Below 30x30 cm, the feather areas become very fine. Above 50x50 cm, the work takes longer but is more comfortable.
Is the feather detail difficult to paint?
The wings and tail have many small numbered areas. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size. The paper guide helps you spot the colour changes between red, blue and yellow.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
For people who like tropical birds and bright colours. The square frame hangs easily in a living room or study. It also makes a gift for someone who already paints and wants a detailed design.
How do you paint by numbers?
