A sea turtle with a gold mandala shell to paint by numbers
This sea turtle gold mandala shell paint by numbers shows a stylised turtle seen from above, swimming in a swirling deep blue background. Its shell carries a mandala pattern of concentric circles and gold geometric motifs. The flippers stretch across a purple and turquoise background filled with swirls. Patches of coloured light dot the water around the animal. The turtle's eyes are detailed and face the left of the canvas. The square format places the shell at the centre of the composition. Metallic gold outlines pick out the shell motifs and the edges of the flippers. The kit contains the printed canvas with numbers, the acrylic paint pots, three brushes and the control sheet.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the large areas of the deep blue and purple background, then move on to the turquoise flippers. Save the gold shell motifs for the end: they need precision and a fine brush. Paint the concentric circles of the mandala area by area, starting from the centre. Choose a size of at least 30x30 cm so the shell details stay clear. The 40x40 cm works well if you want to paint the eyes and gold outlines without difficulty.
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 printed linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers of the sea turtle and its mandala shell.
Paint:The numbered acrylic pots cover the dark blue, purple, gold, emerald green and turquoise of the design.
Brushes:The fine brush is for the detailed eyes and gold geometric motifs, the broad one for the swirling background.
Guide:The paper guide to the design helps you check the numbers of the shell and cosmic background areas.
Optional:Optionally, the wooden frame to assemble stretches the printed turtle canvas, otherwise it arrives rolled.
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 this sea turtle?
30x30 cm is enough for the large colour areas. 40x40 cm or larger leaves enough room for the gold shell motifs and the detailed eyes. Avoid 15x15 cm, which is too small for the mandala.
Are the shell details difficult to paint?
The shell has many small numbered areas. Allow 20 to 40 h of work depending on the size. A fine brush is included in the kit for the circles and gold outlines.
Who is this paint by numbers kit a good gift for?
It suits someone who has already painted a few pictures and is looking for a detailed sea design. The square format and dark background appeal to fans of turtles and mandala patterns.
Which colour should I start with in paint by numbers?
On this sea turtle, start with the large areas of the deep blue and purple background, then the turquoise flippers. Save the gold shell motifs for the end, with the fine brush. Paint the mandala circles area by area, starting from the centre.
How do I use the paint by numbers kit?
The linen canvas carries the outlines and numbers, and the acrylic pots are numbered and ready to use. The paper guide is for checking the numbers of the areas, not the painting order. Follow the tips on the sheet: deep blue and purple background, turquoise flippers, then the gold shell with the fine brush.
