Piglet in a flower basket paint by numbers: the picture on the canvas
A white and pink piglet leans over the edge of a dark basket, its snout and black eyes picked out against the pale coat. White daisies with yellow centres ring the animal's head, and green foliage fills the background. Five tones carry the scene: white, yellow, pink, green and black, with the basket giving the strongest contrast against the pig. The lower half of the basket holds a decorative pattern you fill in the darkest tone. Portrait format keeps the pig in the middle of the canvas, with the flowers above and around it. Body areas are wide; the petals and blades of grass are the fine work. The pig sits with the other animal paint by numbers canvases in the shop.
Tips for painting this design
Block in the dark basket first: it sets the outline everything else hangs on. Then the white and pink body of the pig, rinsing the brush between coats so the cheeks stay clean. The daisies need the most patience. Lay the white petals with the fine brush, let them dry, then dot the yellow centres. Rinse the fine brush between the white and the yellow, or the centres turn cream. Finish with the foliage in two tones, darker behind and lighter in front, to keep the layers apart. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. A 30x40 cm canvas leaves the petals open enough for a fine brush; the 40x50 cm widens them further if you want an easier fill, and the paint by numbers for kids & beginners category lists the other titles at this level.
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.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this piglet in a basket?
The 30x40 cm keeps the daisies open enough for the fine brush while the pig stays clear. Take the 40x50 cm if you want wider petals and more room, or the 20x30 cm for a first small canvas. The same design is printed on all sizes.
Are the daisies and yellow flowers hard to paint?
They are the finest parts of the design. Lay the white petals with the fine brush in even strokes, then add the yellow centres once dry. The basket, the pig's body and the foliage are medium areas that fill quickly, so most of the canvas is straightforward.
Who is this piglet kit a good gift for?
For a child or a beginner who wants an animal they recognise at a glance, and for anyone who likes pigs or garden flowers. The kit arrives with the printed canvas, the numbered paints and three brushes, so there is nothing extra to buy before starting.
How do you paint by numbers?
Paint the basket first, because it sets the outline. Then the white and pink body of the pig, rinsing the brush so the cheeks stay clean. Apply the white of the daisies with the fine brush, let it dry, then add the yellow centres. Finish with the green foliage. Add a drop of water to any pot that starts to dry.
