Lion Pair Portrait Paint By Numbers Kit The Lion Pair Portrait kit shows a male and female lion close together, the male’s thick golden mane tucked against the female’s smaller head. The composition is tight to the faces, so fur texture takes most of the canvas. Backlight from a setting sun gives the manes a warm orange-amber edge while the muzzles stay in cooler shadow. The palette is concentrated in warm earth tones (gold, amber, ochre, deep brown) with very little blue. Eye colour is amber with darker pupils, and the expressions read as calm rather than dramatic. What's in this kit Pre-printed numbered canvas, 16″ × 20″ (40cm × 50cm) Acrylic paint pots: 24 colours (standard), 36 colours (adds about 5 hours of detail), or 48 colours (adds about 10 hours, the highest detail level) 3-piece nylon brush set: round detail (size 1), round mid (size 4), flat wide (size 8) Numbered reference chart at full size, plus a smaller printed copy for desk use Wall-hanging hooks on the framed variant; the rolled canvas option ships without Difficulty and pairing14 to 18 sessions. The mane is the slowest part because the numbered shapes are small and the colour transitions inside the fur are subtle. Work outward from the faces: paint the eyes and noses first, then the muzzles, then the manes outward to the canvas edges. This sits in our animals range and our paint by numbers for adults collection. Painters drawn to wildlife portraits often also pick up Cool Chimp Vibes or sister kits in the cats and dogs ranges.
