Autumn Woodland: 12 New Wildlife Paint by Numbers Designs

Golden leaves beneath tiny paws. A magnificent stag standing above a waterfall. A squirrel adding one more acorn to its autumn pantry.

Our new Autumn Woodland Paint by Numbers collection brings these moments together in 12 autumn wildlife paint by numbers designs from 1001Canvas. Inspired by North American animals and the changing colors of the season, the collection travels through golden forests, misty woodland paths, quiet coves, and flowing streams.

Some scenes feel grand and dramatic. Others invite you to look closer at the smaller lives tucked between tree roots and fallen leaves. Together, they offer a colorful way to bring a little of the autumn outdoors into your next painting project.

Three Woodland Stories to Discover

Stag above the Falls Paint by Numbers: A Majestic Autumn Moment

Standing high on a broad rock ledge, the stag commands attention. Its branching antlers rise against a hillside of golden trees, while a waterfall tumbles through the rocky landscape behind it.

The composition pairs warm copper and chestnut tones with cool blue water and shaded cliffs. That contrast gives the scene both strength and depth: your eye moves from the stag’s illuminated chest to its antlers, then into the forest beyond.

Choose this design if you enjoy a strong central subject surrounded by dramatic scenery. The animal anchors the painting, while the waterfall and autumn trees give you plenty to explore around it.

Squirrel’s Pantry Paint by Numbers: The Little Treasures of Fall

A hollow tree, a gathering of acorns, and a squirrel holding its latest find turn this design into a small woodland story.

The squirrel’s silver-gray coat stands out against the warm wood of the tree hollow. Golden leaves frame the scene, while mossy greens and cool forest colors add variety around the rich browns of the acorns.

Its appeal lies in the details: the curve of the squirrel’s tail, its paws around an acorn, and the little collection waiting inside the tree. If you prefer intimate animal scenes to sweeping landscapes, this woodland pantry offers a particularly inviting subject.

Chipmunks at Play Paint by Numbers: A Playful Forest Encounter

Two chipmunks turn a moss-covered tree root into the setting for a lively encounter. One peeks over the wood while the other approaches from below, their positions guiding your eye through the scene.

Golden foliage, small mushrooms, and scattered acorns fill out their woodland surroundings. The arching root connects the two animals and gives the composition a natural sense of movement.

This is a cheerful choice for anyone drawn to expressive wildlife scenes. The pleasure comes from the relationship between the pair as much as from the autumn colors around them.

Meet the Rest of the Autumn Woodland Collection

The collection’s other nine designs bring different moods, settings, and color combinations to the forest.

Beavers Building Dam	Two beavers at work among branches and flowing water, bringing activity to the collection.
Bear by the Golden Creek	A sturdy brown bear standing in a woodland stream beneath warm autumn trees.
Owl at Dusk	An alert owl perched against blue evening colors, with golden foliage framing its feathers.
Fox beneath the Birches	A resting red fox nestled among bright leaves and pale birch trunks.
Wild Turkey in Full Display	A broad fan of tail feathers and richly colored plumage creating a bold autumn centerpiece.

If the animals are what first catch your attention, our wider selection of animal paint by numbers kits offers more subjects to explore beyond this seasonal collection.

Autumn Color Beyond Orange and Brown

Warm colors connect these designs, but each painting uses them differently.

In Stag above the Falls, pale blue water balances the golden canopy. Three Wolves in the Mist gives more space to silver and cool forest blues. Fox beneath the Birches brings orange fur and yellow leaves together, separated by white bark and darker woodland greens.

The smaller scenes have their own contrasts. Moss softens the woody browns in Squirrel’s Pantry, while the chipmunks’ warm coats stand out against the cooler forest behind them.

These backgrounds are part of each painting’s character. For readers who find themselves just as interested in the waterfalls, trees, and woodland paths, our landscape paint by numbers kits offer another direction for a nature-inspired project.

How to Choose Your Fall Favorite

Start with the scene you would enjoy returning to over several painting sessions.

For a bold focal point, consider the stag, moose, or displaying turkey. For a smaller woodland story, look at the squirrel, chipmunks, or raccoon. If cooler colors appeal to you, the wolves, owl, and pelican bring blue and gray tones into the autumn palette.

Then look closely at the design itself. Fur markings, feather patterns, foliage, and branches create different kinds of detail. Before choosing, check the product’s available size and preview rather than judging its difficulty from the animal alone.

Our guide to choosing the right paint by numbers kit can help you think through the options.

Once you begin, give yourself a manageable section to work on: a patch of golden leaves, part of a tree trunk, or a group of stones beside the water. You do not need to finish an entire animal in one sitting. Watching the scene take shape gradually is part of the experience.

Bring Your Favorite Woodland Moment Home

Autumn Woodland offers twelve different encounters with the season, from the quiet confidence of a stag to the busy world around a squirrel’s tree.

Choose the scene that holds your attention—the one whose colors, animal, or little story makes you want to pick up a brush.
