Difficulty level : Advanced
iWhat does this level mean?
- Beginner: one large subject and big areas to paint, little detail. Ideal for a first canvas.
- Intermediate: several elements or colour gradients, with smaller areas. It takes a little more care and a fine brush in places.
- Advanced: a busy scene with many small areas and small faces to paint with a fine brush. For experienced painters, or with patience.
Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
Mona Lisa paint by numbers kit: the portrait painted area by area, from face to landscape
This kit reproduces the portrait of Mona Lisa, seated with her hands folded over a dark dress. Her face sits at the centre of the canvas, framed by long brown hair falling over her shoulders. Behind her, a mountain landscape fades into mist, crossed by a winding path and a river. Brown, ochre and beige carry most of the picture, with dark green in the landscape and near-black in the clothing. The background is built from several layers of hills and rocks. Every area of the canvas carries a number that matches a paint pot.
The kit belongs to our paint by numbers women range. If you enjoy painting well-known artworks, see the famous paintings paint by numbers collection too.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the background. The mountains, sky and river are broad flat areas that suit the medium brush and let you get used to the numbering. Leave the face and hands until last, because they hold the smallest areas. The smile and the outline of the eyes call for the fine brush and a steady hand. Allow around 20 to 40 h, depending on the size. The kit comes in 12 sizes from 15x15 to 70x80 cm, and we recommend 40x50 cm or larger: below that, the sections on the face become too tight. The 48 colour option gives you more shades for the skin gradients and the reflections in the landscape.
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 20 to 40 h depending on the size.
What's in the kit
Canvas:The linen canvas arrives with the outlines and numbers of the Mona Lisa portrait already printed, including the folded hands and the smile.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots are ready to use and hold the browns, ochres, dark greens, beiges and blacks of the dress and the landscape.
Brushes:Three brushes are supplied. Use the fine one for the face and hair, the medium one for the dress and the wide one for the sky and mountains.
Guide:The printed paper guide lets you check the numbers for the face, the hands and the winding path.
Optional:The wooden frame to assemble lets you stretch the portrait canvas before you start painting.
Without frame
The canvas arrives rolled in a tube. You paint it flat and frame it afterwards if you wish.
With frame
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 painting the Mona Lisa?
Choose 40x50 cm or larger to keep the sections on the face and hands readable. 60x80 cm makes the landscape sharper but takes longer to finish. At 20x30 cm, the features of the face are tight and the smile becomes hard to paint.
Is the portrait difficult to paint?
The level is advanced. The background and dress are straightforward, but the face, hands and smile contain many small, fine areas. Allow around 20 to 40 h depending on the size. Painting the background first and the face last gives you time to get used to the brushes.
How many colours should I choose for the Mona Lisa?
The kit is offered with 24, 36 or 48 colours. The 48 colour option helps most with the skin gradients and the reflections in the landscape. A lower count means broader colour steps in those areas, with fewer shades between neighbouring numbers.
Who is this paint by numbers kit for?
It suits art lovers and anyone who likes classic portraits. The finished picture can hang on the wall or go to someone who admires Leonardo da Vinci. The advanced level and long painting time suit people who have painted before and want a lasting project. The kit includes the canvas, the pots and the brushes.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
Start with the background: mountains, sky and river in broad flat areas with the medium brush. Leave the face and hands until last, as they are the smallest areas. The paper guide is there to check the numbers of the areas, and does not set the painting order.
What are the standard sizes for a painting?
There are 12 sizes, from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. For this level of detail, choose 40x50 cm or larger. The canvas comes rolled without a frame, or with a wooden frame to assemble. The 48 colour option helps with skin gradients.
