Cute forest animal paint by numbers: the design
A furry creature with a green leaf on its head sits against a tree trunk, a braided rope collar around its neck. Its big round eyes sit at the centre of the canvas. The setting stays simple: a brown trunk on the right, green leaves behind it, a blue grey and beige background. The body and the foliage are painted in wide flat areas, the eyes and the muzzle in small ones. Clean outlines and flat shades keep the cartoon design easy to follow, even on a first canvas.
It makes a gift for a child aged 8 or over and a first canvas for an adult. The body, the leaves and the background fill quickly, while the eyes and the muzzle need a steadier hand. More creatures in this cartoon style sit in the fantasy paint by numbers range, and the paint by numbers for kids and beginners range gathers the simpler designs.
Tips for painting this design
Paint the blue grey and beige background first, then the brown trunk. Leave the eyes and the outline of the muzzle for the end, when the small areas are all that remain. The leaf on the head uses a light and a dark green, so read the numbers on the paper chart before you load the brush. At 15x20 cm and 20x30 cm the shapes stay wide enough for a child to fill in over a few sessions. Go up to 40x50 cm if you want the foliage and the fur to carry more detail.
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.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this picture?
15x15 cm and 15x20 cm suit young children, with wide areas and a design that still reads. 20x30 cm and 30x40 cm give a beginner a little more detail. From 40x50 cm the leaves and the fur sharpen. Painting takes around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you pick.
Are the details difficult to paint?
The level sits at intermediate. Most of the canvas is flat colour: the body, the background and the leaves. The round eyes, the muzzle and the veins of the leaf need the fine brush and a steadier hand. Check those small areas on the paper chart before you start, so you know where they sit.
Who is this kit a good gift for?
It suits children aged 8 and over and adults on a first canvas. The cartoon design and the big round eyes appeal to young painters, and the numbered pots are ready to use, so nothing needs mixing. Each kit holds the printed linen canvas, the numbered acrylics and three brushes.
Is paint by numbers difficult?
The canvas comes rolled, or with a wooden frame to assemble if you choose that option. The frame stretches the linen before you paint, which keeps the printed outlines flat under the brush. Sizes run from 15x15 cm up to 70x80 cm, and we dispatch within 48 hours.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Blue grey and beige go on first, then the brown trunk. The leaf on the head uses a light green and a dark green, so read the numbers on the chart before you load the brush and the two stay apart. The eyes and the muzzle outline come last.
