Difficulty level : Advanced
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.
Multicoloured butterfly over flower field paint by numbers: what you paint
A large butterfly spreads blue and orange-yellow wings at the centre of the canvas, above a dense bed of orange, pink and mauve flowers. Behind it, faint silhouettes of small butterflies cross a pale sky with golden reflections. The green stems and petals set against the blue wings give strong colour contrasts. The sky is a broad area that goes quickly, while the wing patterns need tighter work, so the level is intermediate. The portrait format suits a narrow stretch of wall. If you like this subject, our butterfly paint by numbers range has more designs, and our flower paint by numbers range offers more petals to paint.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the light tones of the background, which set the soft light of the scene. Move on to the pink and orange flowers at the bottom of the canvas. Paint the wings with the fine brush so the edge between the blue and the orange-yellow stays sharp. Finish with the dark outline shades to define the body of the butterfly. The 36 and 48 colour options add shades for the gradients on the petals.
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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this butterfly design?
The 40x50 cm size shows the wing shapes clearly without making the work too fiddly. Sizes start at 15x15 cm, which is quicker to finish, and go up to 70x80 cm. At 50x70 cm the flower details get more room.
Are the wing details difficult to paint?
The level is intermediate. The wing patterns need a steady hand and the fine brush, but the sky and the flower areas are medium-sized and quick to cover with the medium or wide brushes.
Should I choose 24, 36 or 48 colours?
All three options cover the whole design. The 36 and 48 colour options add shades that refine the gradients on the petals, so they suit you if you want smoother transitions between the pink, orange and mauve flowers.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits anyone who likes butterflies and colourful flowers. Adults and teenagers with a little crafting experience will manage the intermediate level well, which makes it a good gift for a nature lover.
How do I revive dried paint?
The numbered acrylic pots dry out quickly once open. Add a drop of water, mix and close the lid after each session. Paint the light background first, then the pink and orange flowers, the wings with the fine brush, and the dark outlines last.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
Allow 12 to 30 h depending on the size you choose. Most of the extra time goes on the wings, where the fine brush keeps the blue and the orange-yellow apart. Follow the order on the guide: light backgrounds, flowers, wings, dark outlines.
