Elephant and calf pop art paint by numbers
This portrait design shows an adult elephant facing its calf against a white background. The elephant paint by numbers picture uses flat areas of blue, orange, yellow, green and white, giving the finished canvas a clear pop art appearance. The adult has wide ears and a long trunk reaching the ground, while the calf stands beside its front leg with a visible tusk. Small watercolour strokes mark the ground below them. The ear outlines and the join between the two bodies require careful brushwork. You can compare it with our Elephant Paint by Numbers collection.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the white background, which covers a broad area and suits the wide brush. Paint the adult elephant next, moving from the dark blue areas towards the orange sections. Use the lighter yellow and green shades on the calf. Keep the fine brush for the tusk, trunk and line separating the two animals. Apply the ground strokes last with only a small amount of paint. The medium level of detail suits a 40x50 cm canvas.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a kit of 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 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The printed linen canvas shows the outlines and numbers for the adult elephant, calf, tusks, trunk and large ears.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots provide the blue, orange, yellow, green and white shades used across the elephants and ground marks.
Brushes:Use the fine brush for the tusks and trunk, the medium brush for the ears and the wide brush for the white background.
Guide:The paper guide helps you match each number to the adult elephant, calf and watercolour strokes.
Optional:The wooden frame can be assembled to stretch the canvas before you paint it. You can also choose it already mounted on its frame, ready to hang.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.

Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the finished picture on the wall.
Mounted canvas

Questions about this design
Which size suits this elephant and calf design?
A 40x50 cm canvas gives both elephant silhouettes room while keeping the medium-sized colour areas manageable. Choose 30x40 cm for a smaller picture or 60x80 cm when you want the portrait format to occupy more wall space.
Is this design difficult to paint?
This is an intermediate design. The white background and broad colour blocks are straightforward with the wide brush, while the tusk, trunk and contact line between the two animals need finer work. Allow around 12 to 30 hours according to the size selected.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
This kit suits an adult or teenager who enjoys elephants and strong colour contrasts. The parent-and-calf subject also gives you a specific present idea for a birth or a child's room, with the finished canvas framed afterwards.
How do you use the paint by numbers kit?
Paint the large white background first, then work through the adult elephant from dark blue to orange. Paint the calf in yellow and green, using the fine brush for the tusk, trunk and dividing line. The numbered guide helps you check each section before applying the acrylic paint.
