A Christmas owl paint by numbers kit with a red hat and holly arch
The owl has beige and brown feathers. It wears a red hat with a white pompom and a red coat closed with a scarlet bow tie. It stands at the centre of a dark wooden arch framed by dark green holly leaves and red berries. White snowflakes fall across a black winter night, so the red, the green and the neutral plumage tones each read clearly against the dark.
The level is intermediate. The coat, the hat and the background are medium areas, while the eyes, berries, holly leaves and snowflakes call for the fine brush. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. The design belongs to our owl paint by numbers range, and you can find more seasonal subjects in Christmas paint by numbers.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the black and dark tones of the background, which sets the contrast for the whole canvas. Fill the red coat and hat next to cover the large areas. Use the fine brush for the holly berries, the round eyes and the beige feathers, and add the white snowflakes once the black has dried. The 40x50 cm size gives you a comfortable surface for crisp snowflakes and face outlines. You can choose 24, 36 or 48 colours, and the 15x15 cm size is the smallest of the 12 formats.
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.

Paint the black and dark tones of the background first, then the red coat and hat. Switch to the fine brush for the holly berries, the eyes and the beige feathers, and check each area against the numbers in the paper guide.
What are the tips for painting by numbers?
Cover the large red areas after the dark background and keep the fine brush for small details. Choosing the 40x50 cm size makes the snowflakes and the face easier to keep crisp.
