White Chick Among Daisies Paint by Numbers

White chick among daisies paint by numbers kit

This white chick among daisies paint by numbers kit places the chick at the centre of a portrait canvas, with a grey stone beside it. White daisies with yellow centres open on green stems around the bird, darker leaves fill the background and the sky stays pale, without marked clouds. Most areas are medium sized, so the work moves at a steady pace; the petal edges and the chick's eye are the fine details to save for a steady hand. The palette stays light: white, green, yellow and grey, spread over 24, 36 or 48 numbered pots depending on the option. Outlines and numbers are printed on the linen canvas. Expect around 12 to 30 hours of painting depending on the size. For more feathered subjects, see our bird paint by numbers designs.

Tips for painting this design

Block in the green stems and the background leaves first, then the grey stone, so the light colours stay clean. On the chick, keep pure white for the head and the back and work the lightest grey into the shadow under the wing and along the belly; that shading gives the down its roundness. Give each daisy centre one small dot with the fine brush and let it dry before you touch the petals. A 30x40 cm canvas keeps those dots sharp, while 40x50 cm gives wider petals and a faster session.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The white chick among daisies paint by numbers design comes in 12 sizes, from 15x15 cm to 70x80 cm, all printed with the same outlines. Each one arrives on rolled canvas, with or without the wooden frame to assemble, and with 24, 36 or 48 colours. The 15x15 and 15x20 cm formats suit a quick first attempt, though the daisy centres become very small. Beginners often start on the paint by numbers for kids & beginners range, where the outlines are simpler, and come back to this chick when they want the fine details.
