Difficulty level : Intermediate
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.
Three Birds on a Willow Branch Paint by Numbers Kit: a calm portrait watercolour
Three small birds sit side by side on a willow branch in the centre of a portrait canvas. Their round bodies and tilted heads are painted in brown and yellow, with paler feathers on the bellies. The branch crosses the image on a diagonal and carries white buds and small green leaves. Behind it, a beige and ochre watercolour background stays light and soft, with no sharp detail. The body areas are large, while the beaks, feet and buds are finer, which makes this an intermediate kit. If you like feathered subjects, our bird paint by numbers collection has more designs to compare.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the beige and ochre background. It covers the largest areas and goes on quickly with the wide brush. Next, fill the brown and yellow bodies of the three birds, then the pale feathers on their bellies. Keep the fine and medium brushes for the beaks, feet and white buds, which need a steady hand. A 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm canvas gives enough room for these small details. Choose the 36 colour option if you want more shades in the background. The leaves and buds sit close to the pastel tones of our nature paint by numbers designs, so the two styles hang well together.
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 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The linen canvas has the outlines of the three birds, the willow branches and the white buds printed on it, each area numbered.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and hold the beige, brown, yellow, green and white of the design, in 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the small buds, the medium for the birds, the wide for the beige and ochre background.
Guide:The printed paper guide lets you check the numbers for the bird and leaf areas.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the canvas while you paint. 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 painting of three birds?
30x40 cm suits a first attempt, with areas that are easy to fill. 40x50 cm leaves more room for the buds and feathers. 60x80 cm takes longer but lets the watercolour background flow more softly. The kit comes in 9 sizes, from 20x30 to 60x80 cm.
Are the birds' details hard to paint?
The level is intermediate. The bodies are filled in large areas, but the beaks, feet and white buds need the fine brush. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose, and paint the background first.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits anyone who likes garden birds and soft watercolour finishes. The numbered outlines keep the design clear even without painting experience. The kit contains the linen canvas, numbered acrylic paints, three brushes and the paper guide.
Should I order the kit with or without the wooden frame?
Without the frame, the canvas arrives rolled and you stretch or frame it yourself afterwards. With the frame, you assemble the wooden stretcher bars and the canvas is held taut while you paint the branches and the light background.
