Red poppies and blue butterflies paint by numbers kit
This design pairs red poppies on fine stems with two blue butterflies resting on the grasses. The poppies fill the foreground in a strong red, and the butterfly wings stand out in deep blue. Behind them the field turns soft and blurred in beige, brown and dark green, with white wildflowers and closed buds between the stems. The style is realistic and the format is portrait. Each area carries a number on the canvas, and you apply the matching paint pot by pot with no mixing. It belongs with our flower paint by numbers range.
Tips for painting this design
The level is intermediate: most areas are medium-sized, with some fine details on the wings, petals and stems. Start with the two blue butterflies. Their wings need clean edges, so paint them before the grasses that cross in front. Then do the red poppies, keeping the fine brush for petals and stems. Leave the beige and brown background for last and cover it with the wide brush in broad bands. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. The 40x50 cm size suits the level of detail, and the 36 or 48 colour options give you more range in the greens and reds.
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 carries the outlines and numbers for the red poppies, the blue butterflies and the fine stems of the field.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots contain the red, blue, brown, dark green and beige seen on the flowers and the background.
Brushes:The fine brush draws the thin stems and veins, the medium brush covers the petals, and the wide brush lays down the blurred background.
Guide:The paper guide to the design lets you check the numbers for the poppies, the butterflies and the white wildflowers.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this poppies and butterflies painting?
40x50 cm is the best fit: the butterflies and fine stems stay clear without becoming too small. The 30x40 cm suits a beginner, and the 60x80 cm gives you a large field for the wall.
Are the butterfly details difficult to paint?
The level is intermediate. The blue wings have several separate areas, painted with the fine brush. The poppies and grasses are done with the medium brush and are easier.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
For someone who loves wildflowers and butterflies, or who wants a calm activity over several evenings. The kit contains everything you need: the canvas, the numbered pots and the brushes.
How do you paint by numbers?
Paint the areas following the numbers on the paper guide. On this canvas, start with the blue butterflies, then the red poppies, and finish the beige and brown background with the wide brush. Use the fine brush for the wings and petals.
How do you revive dried paint?
The acrylic pots supplied close up quickly. If the paint dries, add a drop of water and mix. Paint the blue butterflies first, then the red poppies, and the beige and brown background last.
