Hedgehog with a Heart Paint by Numbers
Our Hedgehog with a Heart paint by numbers canvas shows a small hedgehog holding a red heart, pink spines over the head and a few hearts floating around it. The body and the background are wide areas that fill quickly; the eyes and the heart outlines ask for the fine brush. Intermediate level, around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.

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.
Hedgehog with a Heart paint by numbers: what you paint
A small hedgehog holds a red heart between its front paws. The body is white, with pink spines fanning over the head and back, and two large black eyes set low on the face with white highlights. Red hearts float around the animal on a beige and dark green background. Pink, red, white, dark green and beige cover almost every area of the canvas. The landscape format keeps the hedgehog central and leaves room for the hearts on both sides. The outlines of the hearts and the edge of the muzzle are the tightest lines in the design.
Tips for painting this design
The body and the background are wide surfaces that fill quickly, while the eyes, the heart edges and the tips of the spines need the fine brush. Fill the beige and dark green background first, then the white body, and keep the red hearts for last so the colour stays clean. Work the pink spines in short strokes and rinse the brush between two numbers. The 30x40 cm with 24 colours is the easy way in: the body areas stay generous and the face readable. The 40x50 cm pulls the small hearts tighter if you want sharper outlines. Sizes run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, with 24, 36 or 48 colours depending on the option. This design sits in our paint by numbers for kids and beginners collection, and you will find more animals in our animal paint by numbers section.

Questions about this design
Which size should I pick for this hedgehog canvas?
The 30x40 cm with 24 colours suits a first painting: the body areas stay wide and the eyes are easy to fill. Move up to the 40x50 cm when you want sharper edges on the small hearts. The range runs from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, with 24, 36 or 48 colours.
How hard is the face to paint?
The eyes, their white highlights and the edge of the muzzle are the finest parts. Use the fine brush, load one colour at a time and let a pot dry before you touch the area beside it. The body, the spines and the background are medium areas that fill quickly.
Is this a good gift for a child?
It suits a child who has already painted a little, since the level is intermediate. The wide body and background carry most of the work, and an adult can take the eyes and small hearts. The red heart makes it an easy Valentine's Day gift, and the finished canvas works on a bedroom wall.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Paint the beige and dark green background first, then the white body of the hedgehog, and save the red hearts until the background is dry. Work the pink spines in short strokes, one pot at a time, without mixing two numbers on the same brush. The black eyes and their white highlights go on with the fine brush.
What are the standard picture sizes?
This kit offers canvases of 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). For a first painting, choose the 30x40 cm with 24 colours. The 40x50 cm suits you if you want sharper hearts.
