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.
A multicolour pop art octopus paint by numbers with wavy tentacles
The octopus stretches its tentacles from one edge of the canvas to the other. The body mixes purple, blue, pink and yellow, with suckers drawn along each arm, and the background is built from flat yellow and orange areas crossed by concentric circles and coloured swirls. Pop art keeps those contrasts clean: purple sits beside yellow, blue beside pink, with no blending in between. Every area carries a number that matches one pot of ready-to-use acrylic. Detail is medium, with broad areas and a few fine ones, so allow 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
Tips for painting this design
Lay the yellow and orange background in first. Those flat areas set the light of the picture, and you can judge the purple and blue of the body against them. Work one tentacle at a time so the acrylic never half-dries on an arm. The suckers are the smallest shapes on the canvas: use the fine brush, load it lightly and follow the printed outline of each circle. Keep the pink and orange touches for the end, as they pick up the shades around them most easily. From 30x40 cm upwards the fine shapes stay easy to reach.
Sizes, colours and painting time
Twelve sizes run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm, so the octopus can sit on a desk or fill a landscape panel above a sofa. Pick 24, 36 or 48 colours: the extra shades give the purple-to-pink transitions and the background circles more steps. The canvas arrives rolled, or on a wooden frame you assemble yourself. We dispatch within 48 hours. For a first canvas with wider areas, our paint by numbers for kids and beginners holds designs that ask for less precision, and our pop art paint by numbers collection keeps to the same bold palette.
What's in the kit
Canvas:Printed linen with every outline and number in place, in landscape format so the tentacles span the width.
Paint:Numbered acrylic pots, ready to use, covering the purple, yellow, blue, pink and orange of the octopus and the background.
Brushes:Three brushes: fine for the suckers, medium for the tentacles, wide for the flat background.
Guide:A paper guide with the design, handy for checking the numbers inside the concentric circles and the swirls.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble keeps the canvas taut while you paint. 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.
With frame
Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the picture on the wall.
Mounted canvas
The canvas arrives already stretched on its wooden frame. You start painting right away and hang the picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Do I need the 48-colour set for this octopus?
The 24-colour set covers the purple, yellow, blue, pink and orange areas on the octopus and the background. Choosing 36 or 48 adds steps between those shades, which keeps the purple-to-pink transitions and the background circles smoother. Every pot is numbered acrylic, ready to use straight from the pot.
Is this design difficult to paint?
The level is intermediate. Broad flat areas in the background and the body fill quickly, and the difficulty sits in the suckers and the concentric circles, which need the fine brush and a steady hand. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
Children and adult beginners who like bright colour, and anyone drawn to marine subjects or pop art. Sizes from 30x40 cm up keep the suckers open enough for the fine brush, and 40x50 cm or larger makes a stronger wall panel. The kit holds the printed canvas, numbered paints, three brushes and the paper guide.
How do you paint by numbers?
Start with the yellow and orange background, then the purple and blue body, then the tentacles one at a time. Add the suckers with the fine brush, and keep the pink and orange touches for the end, as they pick up the shades around them most easily. Check each number on the paper guide first.
What are the standard picture sizes?
Canvases run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. From 30x40 cm up the suckers and background circles stay open enough for the fine brush, and 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm suits a wall. The canvas comes rolled, with a wooden frame to assemble or with the canvas already mounted on its frame (except in 50x70 and 60x80 cm, delivered rolled).
