Blue-Eyed Leopard Paint by Numbers

A Note From Our Founder

William Murdock, Founder, Paint On Numbers Canada

"This is one of those designs where the eyes genuinely change everything. I'd recommend saving them for last, after the coat and background are fully done. By the time you fill in those blue irises, the painting has already built enough context that the eyes land with real impact. It's one of the most satisfying final moments of any kit we carry."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a difficult paint by numbers kit?

It's a detailed design with a lot of fine sections across the spotted coat, so we recommend it for painters who have completed at least one kit before and are comfortable with a fine brush. That said, the numbered system guides every section, so confident beginners can absolutely tackle it. Our expert tips guide is worth reading before you start if you're new to detailed animal designs.

How long does this kit take to complete?

A 40x50 cm canvas at 36 or 48 colours typically takes 14 to 20 hours across several sessions. The coat sections are dense with fine spots that take more time than broad landscape areas, but the finished result is well worth the investment. Our time guide gives you estimates at every size.

What is the best tip for painting the spotted coat?

Work one colour at a time across the whole canvas rather than completing one spot before moving to the next. Every time you load the black or dark brown onto your brush, use it across every corresponding section before cleaning and switching. This keeps the consistency even and dramatically reduces brush cleaning time. Read more techniques in our blending guide.

Can I frame this when it's finished?

Yes. The stretched-on-frame option arrives ready to hang immediately. The rolled canvas fits standard frame sizes from most Canadian home stores, including Michaels. A finished leopard portrait at 40x50 cm or larger is a genuinely bold piece of wall art.
