Pop Art Koala with Colourful Drips Paint by Numbers

A pop art koala paint by numbers canvas in pink, blue and yellow

The koala head has big fluffy ears and sits against a background of splashes and drips. The fur mixes pink, blue, yellow and green, with a large blue nose and expressive eyes. White is used for the lighter areas, and paint splatters run across the whole square canvas. Each area carries a number that matches a pot of ready-to-use acrylic paint. The kit includes the printed linen canvas, the numbered pots, three brushes (fine, medium and wide) and the paper reference sheet. Allow around 20 to 40 hours, depending on the size you choose. The design is rated advanced, so it suits painters who have already finished a kit or two.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the abstract background and its drips, then move on to the koala head. Leave the light areas of the muzzle until last, as they act as a guide. The large blue nose and the outline of the eyes hold the most small numbers, so use the fine brush and thin coats. On the ears, alternate pink, yellow and green without mixing the pots. A 40x50 cm or 50x70 cm size leaves enough room for the splashes without losing legibility. If you like bold colour in animal portraits, our art painting kit range of pop art designs has more to choose from, and the animal paint by numbers collection covers other creatures.

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 hours depending on the size.
