A paint by numbers golden dragon coiled around a mountain
This golden dragon paint by numbers shows a celestial serpent coiled around a rocky peak. Its body crosses the pale blue sky, between white clouds and wisps of mist. Scales cover every curve of the body, with yellow and brown highlights along the flanks. The horns and whiskers stand out against the light background. The mountain sits at the centre, in grey and brown tones. The style follows traditional Asian illustration. The square format keeps the composition centred on the dragon and its rock.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large areas of pale blue sky and white clouds. Then paint the mountain in grey and brown, from the summit down to the base. Save the golden scales for the end: each scale has its own number and needs a fine brush. Paint the whiskers and horns last with the finest brush. For this level of detail, choose a size of 40x50 cm or larger. The 30x30 cm is fine if you are a beginner.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit with 24, 36 or 48 colours, 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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this golden dragon?
The 40x50 cm or 50x50 cm leave enough room for the scales and whiskers. The 30x30 cm is still possible for a first kit, with smaller areas to paint.
Are the scale details difficult to paint?
Each scale has a number and a colour. The work takes patience along the dragon's flanks, but the printed outlines guide the brush. Allow 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
Who is this painting kit a good gift for?
For people who like dragons and Asian illustration. The square format and the subject also appeal to teenagers and adults looking for a longer painting project.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
For this golden dragon, the level of detail is high. Start with the pale blue sky and white clouds, then the grey and brown mountain from the summit down to the base. Save the golden scales for the end with the fine brush. Choose 40x50 cm or larger, and the 30x30 cm is fine if you are a beginner.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the large areas of pale blue sky and white clouds first. Carry on with the grey and brown mountain, from the summit down to the base. Save the golden scales for the end, each with its number and the fine brush. The whiskers and horns come last with the finest brush.
