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.
Aboriginal Dot Tree of Life Paint by Numbers on Linen Canvas
A stylised tree stands at the centre of this design, its branches curling outward in smooth swirls. Concentric rings of dots in ochre, red and yellow radiate around it, and a white dotted outline frames the middle. The layout is symmetrical, so each side mirrors the other. Dark brown fills the background edge to edge with patterned dot work. The style is decorative rather than realistic, with a lot of fine detail in the dot patterns. Each dot is a numbered shape printed on the linen canvas, so you fill them one at a time. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size, which runs from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. The kit is rated intermediate. For more designs on this theme, see our paint by numbers tree of life collection. Orders are dispatched within 48 hours.
Tips for painting this design
Begin with the dark brown background. It covers the largest area and sets the contrast for every dot that follows. Use the medium brush for the broad background and the wide brush for any open patches. Switch to the fine brush for the dot rings and corner motifs, where the shapes are small and close together. Work one ring at a time from the centre outward so you keep your place. Load the fine brush lightly and clean it between colours to keep the white dots crisp. The 36 and 48 colour options give you more shades of ochre and red, so you mix less. For a different natural subject, see our nature paint by numbers range.
Sizes, colours and painting time
The design comes in 20x30 to 60x80 cm (9 sizes). You choose a 24, 36 or 48 colour kit, on rolled canvas, with a wooden frame to assemble or with the canvas already mounted on its frame (except in 50x70 and 60x80 cm, delivered rolled). Allow around 12 to 30 h depending on the size.

Questions about this design
What size suits this dot design best?
The dot rings and corner motifs are small, so a size from 40x50 cm upward gives each dot more room and keeps the work neat. The smaller sizes, down to 20x30 cm, still work, but you will need a steady hand and the fine brush for every ring.
The dot rings look fiddly. Any advice?
Paint them last, once the background and tree are done. Use the fine brush, thin the paint slightly if it drags, and finish one ring before starting the next. Because the layout is symmetrical, each ring repeats on the other side, which helps you keep track.
How long does this kit take to paint?
Plan for around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you choose. Each dot is a separate numbered shape, so the rings take longer than flat areas. Painting one ring per sitting is a comfortable pace on the larger sizes.
Who would this kit suit as a gift?
Anyone who enjoys pattern and repeat work, and people who like Aboriginal inspired art. The kit is rated intermediate, and the symmetrical layout also suits a patient beginner.
