White dove paint by numbers kit: wings spread on a branch
The white dove sits in the centre of the canvas with its wings open, perched on a branch. An orange beak and a black eye mark the head. The background stays dark, between black and deep blue, and a small white bird flies in the distance in the mist. The feathers read one by one on the left wing and sit tighter on the right wing. The landscape format leaves room for the branch and the space around the bird. The palette runs from white and grey to pale yellow highlights, with deep blues behind.
The areas are mostly medium sized, with some fine details on the feathers and beak, which is why we rate it intermediate. It belongs to our bird paint by numbers collection.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the black and dark blue background. It covers large areas, the wide brush gets through it quickly, and the white then stands out against it. Paint the branch in grey and brown, then the dove's body. Keep the pure white pots for the end, on the wings and breast, so dark paint cannot smudge them. Use the fine brush for the feathers and follow the numbers area by area. Choose the 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm so the wing details stay clear.
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 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. The dark background and landscape format suit a wall above a sofa or a bed. If you enjoy painting wildlife, our animal paint by numbers range has more subjects. We dispatch within 48 hours.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this white dove?
The 40x50 cm suits the medium level of plumage detail on this dove. The 50x70 cm makes the fine areas of the left wing easier to paint. The 20x30 cm works for a quick first try, but the feathers will sit tighter and need the fine brush throughout.
Is the white plumage difficult to paint?
It is rated intermediate. The white is worked in several tones: pure white, light grey and pale blue for the shadows. Most areas are medium sized, with some fine details on the feathers and beak. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose.
Who is this dove picture a good gift for?
For anyone who likes birds and calm scenes on a dark background. It also works as a leaving or keepsake gift. The kit contains the printed canvas, numbered acrylic paints and three brushes, so the recipient can start straight away. We dispatch within 48 hours.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Work from dark to light: background first, white last. Use the fine brush for the feathers, area by area, following the numbers. The paper guide is there to check the numbers, not to set the painting order.
