Centimetres are hard to picture. Drag through the sizes and see the canvas held
at true scale by an average adult, so you know what is arriving before you order it.

Add your photoRequired
This is the photo we turn into your paint by numbers kit.
Cover the table, set good lighting, keep water and a paper towel nearby. Lightly iron the canvas on low (no steam) or tape it flat to a board.
2
Organize paints & match numbers
Open one color at a time to prevent drying. If thick, add a drop of water and mix. Keep lids closed when not in use.
3
Start smart
Work from top-to-bottom (or left-to-right if right-handed) to avoid smudges. Many painters begin with the background or darker areas for easy progress.
4
Use the right brush for the area
Small brush for tiny cells; larger brush for big areas. Glide the tip—don’t press or splay bristles. Cover numbers fully; add a second coat after drying if needed.
5
Rinse & dry between colors
Swirl in water, wipe on a towel until clean, then paint the next color. A barely damp brush gives cleaner edges.
6
Let sections dry
Acrylic dries fast—about 10–20 minutes depending on thickness. Touch up gaps or streaks once dry.
7
Store in-progress work
Close paint pots firmly; wipe rims so they reseal. Keep paints upright and the canvas flat.
8
Finish & frame
After 24 hours, optionally seal with a clear acrylic varnish (matte or gloss). Then frame and enjoy!
Pro tips
If a paint is too thick, add a single drop of water and mix. If too thin, use two light coats.
Mist closed paint pots lightly with water if you’re painting for a long session to slow drying.
For tiny areas, a toothpick or fine liner brush can help hit small corners cleanly.
Use daylight or a neutral white lamp so colors look true.

The AI portrait generator did a great job of capturing my beautiful dog's face and I am really enjoying it. The only drawback is that some of the numbers are so tiny and hard to read that I have had to fudge it quite a bit. I have done many PBN projects now, so I am pretty competent at this, but it does create a bit of eye strain. Overall, the picture is looking beautiful so far.
Quality is not as good as I was hoping. The image is very pixelated and many packets of the beads just clumped and stuck together making application of the beads onto the frame difficult. Would not order again
I have done several diamond art projects from several different companies now. This has been my favorite by far!! I really like the kits from Paintly because the quality and organization of the materials can't be beat, but THIS image was beautiful! It is a large format and had 50 colors! I didn't complete it in time to display this Halloween, but I have the perfect place to hang it next year!!
My friend lost everything in a fire and we both love cats. She also loves Godzilla and cats so when I saw this diamond art it was the perfect gift for her new apartment! I was very impressed with the quality of the kit!
It's just halfway completed but the colors are so vivid and beautiful. I have ordered a few paint with numbers pictures and have had no problems with identifying the numbers . However, this one seems very complicated because some numbers are kinda fused together and the lines are extremely faint so it's a lot of guess work and my own creativity to paint along the 'invisible' lines
I really enjoyed painting my Seattle, a bit like I remember it back in the day! The colors are vibrant and the paint was creamy and fresh. I chose to do a larger canvas and use the 80 color kit. I can’t say it was easy, but I’ve done probably close to 100 so far and wanted to choose something more challenging!
Now I need to find a frame for it😁
I used the ai function to change this one slightly, gave her a smile, changed the colour of her dress, and added a candle to one of the cakes. Only started on it yesterday but already absolutely love it. The resin square drills are perfect, drill field nice and tight, and such pretty colours. Perfect
