A gorilla in the rainforest paint by numbers to paint yourself
This gorilla in the rainforest paint by numbers for adults shows a gorilla sitting in dense vegetation. Its gaze meets the viewer from the shade of the banana leaves. Foliage fills half the canvas, with hanging vines and moss on the branches. Emerald and dark greens dominate, crossed by a pale yellow light filtering down from the canopy. The gorilla's black and brown coat stands out against this green background. Ferns fill the foreground. The square format strengthens the animal's presence at the centre. The printed canvas carries the outlines and numbers, and the paper chart helps you follow the sections.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large banana leaves around the gorilla to lay down the greens. Then paint the black and brown coat, following the numbers to keep the volume of the head and shoulders. The trickiest areas are the gaze and the outline of the muzzle: use the fine brush and load it with little paint. The pale yellow light on the canopy needs light passes. Choose a 40x50 cm size or larger so the details of the foliage stay clear.
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.
