- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.

Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
Blue haired elf paint by numbers kit: a portrait with a gold diadem
A pointed-eared elf sits at the centre of the canvas. Her wavy blue hair falls over a turquoise and gold chestplate necklace. A gold diadem set with gems rests on her forehead, and dangling earrings frame her face. Gold and purple make-up surrounds her eyes. Behind her, the blurred background stays in turquoise tones, lifted by carved gold patterns.
The background and the hair are broad areas that fill in quickly. The face, the jewellery and the purple and gold ear ornaments carry the tight detail, which is why this kit is rated Advanced. Allow around 20 to 40 hours depending on the size you choose.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the turquoise background and the gold patterns, as these are the largest areas, and use the wide brush for them. Save the face for last: the gold and purple make-up needs short strokes and the fine brush. The necklace and the diadem hold the smallest blocks of colour, so let each one dry before you paint the colour beside it. On a 40x50 cm size or larger, the gems and earrings stay clear. At 20x30 cm, the face becomes too cramped.
This kit belongs to our paint by numbers women range. If the fantasy style appeals to you, our fantasy paint by numbers collection has more imaginary subjects.

What's in the kit

Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and cover the blue, gold, turquoise, purple and beige of the face and the ornaments. You choose 24, 36 or 48 colours.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the gems on the diadem and the earrings, the medium one for the necklace, the wide one for the blurred background.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this elf portrait?
40x50 cm suits the level of detail in the face and the jewellery. 30x40 cm still works if you accept smaller areas. At 20x30 cm the gems on the diadem and the make-up start to blur together. The 9 sizes run from 20x30 to 60x80 cm.
Is this picture difficult to paint?
The turquoise background and the hair fill in quickly. The difficulty is concentrated on the face, the necklace and the ear ornaments, where the sections are narrow. The kit is rated Advanced. Allow 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
Who is this elf paint by numbers kit for?
It suits adults who already have some experience and like fantasy portraits. The many fine details on the face and jewellery reward patience. The kit contains the printed linen canvas, the numbered acrylic pots and three brushes (fine, medium and wide).
How many colours and which canvas option should I pick?
You can choose 24, 36 or 48 colours, which sets the number of numbered pots in the kit. The canvas comes rolled without a frame, or with a wooden frame to assemble if you want to stretch it before you start painting.
