Paint by numbers with animals

Paint your favorite animals step by step

With Paint by Numbers with animals you can create a detailed animal painting yourself without having to draw first. Each box on the painting example has a number that corresponds to a color of acrylic paint. By filling in the areas slowly, feathers, fur, eyes and the environment become increasingly clear.

In the Schipper range you will find different types of animal motifs. Think of colorful birds, animals in a landscape, butterflies and fantasy animals. Choose an image that matches the place where you want to hang the painting or give the complete set as a gift to an animal lover.

Choose an animal painting that suits your level

Animals with many fine feathers, fur structures or a busy background often contain more small areas. This makes them suitable for painters who like to work accurately. If you want to start clearly, choose a design with one clear animal and larger areas of color.

The size also determines the painting experience. A 40 x 50 cm set is a versatile choice. A triptych or five-part gives more space to a complete nature scene and, once completed, forms a striking wall decoration.

What's in a Schipper set?

A Schipper paint by numbers set contains the materials needed for the chosen motif. The paint colors are pre-mixed and correspond to the numbers on the painting sample. The visible linen structure of the sturdy painting cardboard gives the finished work a neat appearance. Please see the individual product page for exact package contents.

Animal painting as a creative gift

A painting kit with animals is a suitable gift for someone who likes to be creative. For example, choose birds for a color lover, a wild animal for a powerful image or a soothing nature scene.

From fine details to striking colors

The character of an animal motif often lies in the small details. Eyes, feathers and fur require calm and precise painting. For fine parts, work with a small amount of paint on the brush and rotate the painting cardboard when this gives a better working angle. You can fill in large backgrounds earlier to quickly see the atmosphere of the painting. Save the smallest details for moments when you have enough light and concentration. This keeps painting pleasant and prevents adjacent colors from unintentionally blending into each other.

Frequently asked questions

Are animal paintings suitable for beginners?

Yes, but pay attention to the amount of detail. A clear motif with larger surfaces is simpler than an image with a lot of fur, feathers and background structure.

Can I paint a picture of my own pet?

Schipper has separate products that can be used to convert a suitable portrait photo into a painting example. Read carefully in advance which photos are suitable.

Which frame suits my painting?

That depends on the chosen format. View the product details and then choose a suitable picture frame.
