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.
Colourful elephant and calf paint by numbers
An adult elephant faces right with a curved trunk and visible ivory tusks, while a calf follows beside it. Turquoise, purple and blue areas cover both animals, with gold patterns across the ears and forehead. Pink and blue splashes form the abstract background around their silhouettes. The portrait layout keeps the two elephants central, while the numbered linen canvas shows where each acrylic colour belongs. This design sits within our elephant paint by numbers collection.
Tips for painting this design
The broad background sections give you a clear starting point before you work through the adult elephant and calf. The gold patterns on the ears and forehead contain many fine details, so use the fine brush and apply short, controlled touches. Clean the brush when moving between turquoise and purple to keep the colour boundaries clear. This is an advanced design with around 20 to 40 hours of painting, depending on the size. The 40x50 cm option or larger gives the small areas more room, while 36 colours add definition to the blue and turquoise sections.
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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

Questions about this design
Which size and colour option should I choose for this elephant and calf picture?
The 40x50 cm option gives the gold ear patterns and fine outlines more working room. Sizes range from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. Choose 36 colours for extra definition across the turquoise and blue sections, or 48 colours when you want more colour variation. Smaller sizes require more precision.
Is this design difficult to paint?
This is an advanced design with many fine zones around the ears, forehead and trunks. Allow around 20 to 40 hours, depending on the chosen size. The wide background areas provide a straightforward starting point before the detailed animal sections.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
The portrait format suits a hallway or bedroom, where the two elephants remain central on the finished canvas. Its colourful animal subject also makes a considered gift for an adult who already enjoys detailed painting.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the larger background areas first, then work on the adult elephant and leave the calf until later. Use the fine brush for the gold patterns on the ears and forehead, applying small touches. Clean the brush between turquoise and purple areas.
How do I revive dried paint?
The numbered acrylic paints are ready to use. Close each pot after painting so the paint stays usable. If a colour dries, add a few drops of water and mix it. Use the paper guide to check the number for each zone rather than to set the painting order.
