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.

Tip: on a larger canvas the areas are bigger and easier to paint.
Celtic Tree of Life Paint by Numbers Kit with Gold Knotwork
This design sets a central trunk inside a circle, with branches and roots curling into each other as interlaced knotwork. Stylised leaf shapes sit within the weave, each one outlined in gold. The palette runs from emerald and bright teal to deep forest and dark olive, and metallic gold picks out the lines. The background is a solid deep green with visible directional brushstrokes. The composition is symmetrical, so your eye follows the circle round. The areas are medium in size and the knots are clear and open, so only the gold outlines and the narrow gaps between strands call for the fine brush. The finished style is naive, with a hand painted feel. The canvas is square and the level is intermediate. Allow around 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you choose. You can find more designs in our paint by numbers tree of life collection.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the deep forest and dark olive areas of the background, as they set the contrast for everything else. Work round the circle in one direction so the knotwork stays symmetrical and you keep your place. Use the fine brush for the gold outlines and the gaps between strands, and the medium brush for the leaf shapes. The wide brush suits the background, where loose directional strokes match the look of the original. With the 36 or 48 colour option you get several greens close in tone, which helps each knot read as a separate strand. Paint the gold last, once the greens are dry, so the lines stay crisp. If you enjoy patterned work like this, our styles and themes paint by numbers range has more to try.

Questions about this design
What size suits this circular knotwork design?
The design is square and comes in 9 sizes, from 20x30 to 60x80 cm. A middle size such as 40x40 cm keeps the knots clear and the gold lines wide enough to paint comfortably. Larger sizes take closer to 30 hours.
The gold outlines look fiddly. Any advice?
Paint them last with the fine brush and a light touch, thinning the gold slightly if it drags. If a line looks uneven, let it dry and go over it once more instead of adding more paint straight away.
Who would this kit suit as a gift?
Anyone who likes Celtic art, green colour schemes or symmetrical patterns. The level is intermediate, with medium areas and some fine details, and a patient beginner can manage it. Expect around 12 to 30 hours depending on size.
Should I choose 24, 36 or 48 colours?
All three options cover the greens and gold. The 36 and 48 colour sets add more greens close in tone, which helps separate the interlaced strands. The 24 colour set gives you fewer numbers to track and a simpler, flatter result.
