Owl and fireflies paint by numbers: a night owl on its branch
A big-eyed owl sits on a branch under the full moon, surrounded by bright yellow fireflies. In this owl and fireflies paint by numbers kit, the midnight blue sky fills most of the background, so a good part of the project is large, even areas. Tangled branches frame the bird. Its brown and ochre plumage has a visible texture, and the rest of the scene is filled with dark green foliage and white stars. The kit belongs to our owl paint by numbers range.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the midnight blue sky to cover the large background areas. Move on to the brown branches and dark green foliage, then paint the owl's ochre plumage. Leave the yellow fireflies for last. They are small points that need the fine brush supplied in the kit, and painting them over a dry sky avoids smudges. The design mixes medium areas with some fine details, which makes it intermediate level, and it takes around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. Choose 40x40 cm or larger to paint the eyes and insects comfortably. The 36 colour option gives you more shades for the plumage. If you like feathered subjects, you will find more in our bird paint by numbers kits.

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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this owl design?
The fireflies and the owl's eyes are small details. A 40x40 cm size or larger gives you enough surface to paint them with the fine brush. Smaller sizes work, but the yellow points become tiny and need a steady hand.
Are the fireflies difficult to paint?
The fireflies are small yellow areas scattered across the blue background. Use the fine brush from the kit and paint them after the sky has dried, so the yellow stays clean and the blue does not smudge.
How long does the owl and fireflies kit take?
Plan for around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size you choose. The sky is quick because the areas are large. The plumage, branches and fireflies take longer, so it helps to split the work into several sessions.
Who is this night painting a good gift for?
This kit suits fans of owls and forest scenes. Its intermediate level makes it a good gift for an adult or teenager who has already painted a kit and wants a design with some fine details.
