Colourful tiger portrait paint by numbers kit: a tiger's head painted area by area
The centre of the canvas is filled with a tiger's head, muzzle facing forward and eyes looking straight at you. The fur stripes are split between orange, yellow, turquoise and green. White marks the muzzle, the lips and the inside of the ears. Behind the head, an abstract background in cool tones sets off the ears and the outline of the skull. The style is contemporary and artistic, and we rate this colourful tiger portrait paint by numbers kit Advanced because of its many fine details. Outlines and numbers are printed on the canvas, so you always know which paint goes where. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size you choose.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the abstract background. Its large flat areas go quickly with the medium brush. Paint the eyes and the muzzle last, as they are the smallest areas on the canvas. The turquoise and green stripes need a steady hand: use the fine brush and follow the direction of the fur. On a 40x50 cm canvas the fur on the neck stays easy to read. Choose the 60x80 cm if you want room for the shading in the coat without crowding the details. At the smallest sizes the areas shrink, so we suggest a larger format for this Advanced design.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 12 sizes, from 15x15 cm to 70x80 cm. You choose a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours. The canvas arrives rolled, either without a frame or with a wooden frame to assemble, and we dispatch within 48 hours. As a gift, it suits someone who likes big cats and has already finished an easier kit.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this tiger portrait?
The 40x50 cm is a good first choice: the eye and muzzle areas stay fairly large and the neck fur remains clear. The 60x80 cm shows the shading in the coat better, but it takes longer to finish.
Is this tiger kit suitable for a beginner?
We rate it Advanced. The fine stripes around the eyes and muzzle need the fine brush and a steady hand, and the turquoise and green stripes follow the direction of the fur. Plan several sessions, as the painting takes 20 to 40 hours.
How many colours should I pick: 24, 36 or 48?
Orange, yellow, turquoise, green and white make up the tiger whichever option you choose. A higher number of colours gives you more shades to work with in the coat and the abstract background.
Does the kit come with a frame?
You choose. The canvas arrives rolled in a tube without a frame, or with a wooden frame to assemble and stretch it yourself. Orders are dispatched within 48 hours.
