Barn owl in flight paint by numbers above a golden wheat field
A barn owl spreads its wings over a golden wheat field. The sky is orange and purple, the colours of dusk, and clouds cover part of the horizon where the dark outlines of hills appear. The owl's feathers alternate between white and brown, so the bird stands out against the warm background. The wheat fills the lower half of the composition and the sky takes the upper half. This design reproduces a rural scene in warm colours and belongs to our owl paint by numbers range. If you like the sky, our sunset paint by numbers range uses similar dusk tones.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky and apply the purple before the orange, so the two meet cleanly along the clouds. Paint the wheat field next with the yellow and golden tones, then finish with the owl in the centre. The white and brown feathers need the fine brush to keep the outlines neat. Choose 40x40 cm or larger, because a smaller surface makes the feather areas very small. The 36 colour option gives enough shades for the dusk gradients. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 15x15 to 70x80 cm (12 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

Brushes:Three brushes come in the kit. The wide one covers the sky and the field, the fine one is for the feathers.
Guide:The paper guide helps you match each number to the clouds, the hills and the ears of wheat.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble holds the canvas stretched. Without it, the canvas arrives rolled.

Wooden stretcher bars to assemble stretch the canvas. You paint on a taut surface and hang the finished picture on the wall.
Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this barn owl?
Choose 40x40 cm or larger. The owl's feathers hold the finest numbered areas, and a bigger canvas gives each one more room for the fine brush. The 15x15 cm size makes those areas very small. Sizes run up to 70x80 cm across 12 options.
How difficult is this painting and how long does it take?
The level is intermediate. The sky and wheat are medium areas that fill quickly, while the feathers need the fine brush. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you pick, so plan on several sessions.
Which number of colours suits the dusk sky?
The 36 colour option gives enough shades for the purple to orange gradients in the sky. The 24 colour option uses fewer shades, so the transitions are simpler. The 48 colour option offers the most shades for the clouds, hills and field.
Does the kit come with a frame?
The canvas arrives rolled without a frame, or with a wooden frame to assemble if you choose that option. Take the frame option if you want to hang the finished owl straight away. We dispatch within 48 hours.
