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.

This has turned out really well. I got it for a friend as an xmas present. It was very intricate for a 36 colour and I did struggle with it a bit as the pods were so small. The end it beautiful and my friend loved it
My first 80 color PBN. I chose one that didn't have a busy background so I could allocate those 80 colors to the main event - the lovely woman and her jewelry. Only pbn I've seen that adequately captures the older face and hands. Love it.
Most of the numbers are missing or are so faint they are unreadable.
If when I complete it I may be able to improve it a lot but at the moment parts of the picture is not showing the details that make any sense!
It is so blurry! The details are completely lost. The picture advertised is so crisp and clear, and this diamond painting is a complete disappointment.
Loved this kit!! The canvas was of good quality and all the paints were in great shape which is more than I can say for a lot of the other companies. The added plus was how quickly it arrived. I have a 2nd AI generated one otw now. Paintly is definitely my new PBN company
It was fun to do! However it came missing 3 of the colors I needed and the handwriting on a few was very hard to read. The numbers on the bottom portion of the painting were smeared as well, like when you pull a sheet of paper out of the printer.
I love this one so much. I actually ran out of one of the colors but, I made a couple alterations to the design and was able to finish it. I am very impressed with the quality. I just do not like how the sides are sticky though and running out of the color wasn’t great. I am hoping my next one goes better.
I've done a lot of 80 color pictures and enjoyed them....this picture was woefully lacking details-especially around the earrings and bangles on scarf. I had to do a LOT of improvising. I posted the picture I improved...
