Baby cow in a cup paint by numbers kit
This kit prints a calf sitting in a white cup, a crown of pink flowers and white daisies on its head. Its fluffy ears hang down at the sides and small horns poke out between the petals. The front legs rest over the rim. The coat mixes white, ginger and beige, and the background stays a soft dark green with a few floral touches. The portrait format keeps the calf in the centre of the canvas. Areas are medium with some fine detail: the coat and the petals ask for the fine brush, the green background fills in fast with the wide one. The level is intermediate, mostly on account of the crown and the eyes; the cup and the background are broad and forgiving.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the white cup, the largest and simplest area on the canvas. Then block in the dark green background with the wide brush before you touch the calf, so you never lean on wet paint. Keep the fine brush for the daisies and the pink petals, where the outlines run close together. The coat needs three close tones, ginger, beige and white, so rinse the brush between them. 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm in 36 colours keeps the muzzle and the ears clear without making the petal edges fiddly. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you order. The full paint by numbers for kids and beginners range uses the same printed canvas and numbered pots. For a shaggy full-grown animal instead, try our highland cow paint by numbers kits.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit

Paint:The numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, hold the white, pink, green, ginger and beige shades of the coat and the daisies.
Brushes:Three brushes, fine, medium and wide, for the calf's eyes and petals, the coat, and the large areas of the cup.
Guide:The paper guide lists the design numbers so you can check an area of the cup or the crown before painting it.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed canvas of the baby cow in the cup tight for hanging.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
With frame
Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this baby cow in a cup?
30x40 cm covers the muzzle, the ears and the petals comfortably in 36 colours. 40x50 cm gives the crown and the coat more room if you plan to frame the canvas. 20x30 cm still works for a first try, but the daisies become tiny and need a steady fine brush.
Is this design suitable for beginners?
Around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you pick. The white cup and the dark green background go quickly with the wide brush. The flower crown, the daisies and the eyes take the most patience, so save them for the last sessions.
Who is this paint kit a good gift for?
For a child of 8 or over who likes animals, or a beginner adult. The pink crown and white cup suit a child's bedroom, and the portrait format fits a shelf or the wall above a cot. The parents of a new baby can also paint it as a keepsake.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The numbered acrylic pots come ready to use in white, pink, green, ginger and beige, and the option you pick sets whether you get 24, 36 or 48 colours. Paint the white cup in thin layers rather than one thick coat, and close the lids between sessions so the pots last to the end.
