Multicolour butterfly wild garden paint by numbers kit: a large butterfly over wild flowers
The centre of the portrait canvas is filled with a large butterfly, wings open above a bed of wild flowers. Its blue, orange and red wings each hold several separate tones, so you fill one small area at a time. A blue daisy sits on the left and orange and purple flowers on the right. Dark green foliage fills the background, with two small butterflies resting further back. The drawing is an illustration with clean outlines, which makes each area easy to follow. We rate it Advanced because of the many fine details, and you should allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large green areas of the background, because they frame everything else. Paint the butterfly's body and the dark veins next, then the wings. The blue and orange gradients need a steady hand, so keep the fine brush for the divisions between tones. The orange and purple flowers come last, area by area. The kit comes in 12 sizes from 15x15 to 70x80 cm, and a 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm canvas leaves enough room for the small patterns on the wings.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this multicolour butterfly?
40x50 cm gives the wing patterns enough room. 30x40 cm works if you are newer to painting, but the patterns are tighter and the fine brush does more work. 60x80 cm makes the blue and orange gradients easier to read. The kit comes in 12 sizes, from 15x15 to 70x80 cm.
Are the wing details difficult to paint?
The wings have many separate areas, especially along the edges, so the kit is rated Advanced. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size. The paper guide helps you find each number before you paint, and the fine brush handles the divisions between tones.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For people who like insects and flower gardens and have already painted a few canvases. The large central butterfly is easy to spot, which helps you keep going through the long filling sessions. Its blue, orange, red, green and pink also make it a colourful gift for a nature lover.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the large green areas of the background, then paint the body and the dark veins, followed by the wings. Keep the fine brush for the blue and orange gradients. The orange and purple flowers come last, area by area.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Use the fine brush for the patterns on the wings, the medium brush for the flowers and the broad brush for the foliage. Check each number in the paper guide before you paint a small area. A 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm canvas leaves enough room for the small patterns.
Should I choose the canvas with or without frame?
Without frame, the linen canvas arrives rolled and you can paint it flat on a table, then frame it as you like. With frame, you receive a wooden frame to assemble, which stretches the canvas so it is ready to hang once the wings and garden are finished.
