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.
A snowy owl paint by numbers to paint yourself
A snowy owl crosses a snow-covered field, wings spread. This snowy owl paint by numbers design shows the white plumage flecked with light brown, the grey-blue sky and the falling snowflakes. The bird sits at the centre of the square canvas, its shadow marking the snow beneath it. Bare trees close the horizon on the left. Light areas dominate: white, pale blue, grey-blue. Black is used for the eyes and the tips of the wings. The drawing keeps a high level of detail, especially in the feathers and branches. The printed canvas carries the outlines and numbers, and a paper chart helps you keep track of your progress.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the grey-blue sky and the snow, as these are the largest areas. Save the white of the plumage for the end: the flecked feathers need you to follow the numbers without spilling onto the pure white. The black of the eyes and wings goes on with the fine brush. Choose 40x40 cm or larger to keep the detail of the feathers and trees; below 30x30 cm the small flecks blend together.
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 owl with wings spread, the snow-covered field and the grey-blue winter sky.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the white, grey-blue, light brown, pale blue and black of the plumage and the scene.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the snowflakes and flecks in the plumage, the medium for the bare trees, the broad for the sky and snow.
Guide:The paper chart of the design lets you check the numbers for the shadow on the snow and the trees in the distance.
Optional:As an option, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas of the owl in flight; 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 finished picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this owl in flight?
The detail is high, especially in the feathers and the trees in the distance. Go for 40x40 cm or 50x50 cm to keep the flecks in the plumage clear. 30x30 cm works if you are happy with smaller areas.
Are the feather details difficult to paint?
The white plumage flecked with light brown calls for precision. The numbers guide each fleck, but work with the fine brush and let it dry before moving to the neighbouring white.
Who is this paint kit a good gift for?
For someone who loves birds or winter landscapes. The square format sits easily on a wall. Allow around 20 to 40 h of painting depending on the size you choose.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The kit needs care on the flecked plumage of the snowy owl, with 24 to 48 colours depending on the option. Start with the grey-blue sky and the snow, then follow the numbers for the feathers without spilling onto the pure white. The black of the eyes and wings goes on with the fine brush. Allow around 20 to 40 h.
What are some painting ideas to try?
This kit offers a snowy owl in flight over a winter field, with grey-blue sky, snow and trees. Paint the large areas first, save the white of the plumage for the end and follow the numbers for the flecks. Choose 40x40 cm or larger to keep the detail.
