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.
Absolutely beautiful diamond art. Bright, sparkly gems. Easy to follow instructions. Love how it shimmers. Great company. Love the option to have framed.
This is my “ Girl on the moon” painting . I just love it! Everyone who sees it comments on its allure. Even my male friends love the subject matter. I cannot part with it. I paid a lot to have it double matted & framed but haven’t gotten it back yet.
From the moment i opened this product I was impressed by the quality. This was my second piece of diamond art and I really enjoyed working on this product. I finished it last night and couldn’t be happier with the diamond art.
Creating diamond art from a photo of a 40+ year old cross stitch tapestry. This is the largest project I’ve done so far and it’s going slowly but I’m excited about how it’s going. I like how the drills are in ziplock bags instead of plastic packets, easier for me to use and reusable when I’m finished.
The picture itself is beautiful. The paint containers are difficult to open and very, very messy. Many of the colors have to have several coats to cover the lines and the numbers. Cost wise I don’t feel this is any better than any other paint by number for the higher cost. I get them dry mounted before I paint them so it doesn’t matter if they come, rolled folded, etc..
This rating is for my custom designed diamond painting ( not the praying hands over mountains )
I used the Custom designed option on their site because we live in a New Orleans style home with a center courtyard & fountain just like this
I bought large size with maximum round diamonds.
It looks Amazing !! This company has EXCELLENT QUALITY products!!
Can wait to do more from this company
I ordered a semi‑custom diamond painting from Paintly Kits, and I am over the moon with how it turned out. I took one of their original images and had them substitute the woman and the dog for my Dunkin — and they absolutely nailed it. The final canvas is a gorgeous 50 × 70 cm piece that feels personal, peaceful, and full of love.
The rendering quality was excellent, and the square drills were crisp, clean, and sparkly. I added my own touches with AB and stardust drills on Dunkin’s fur and collar, plus her hair and dress, and the canvas handled the enhancements beautifully. The colors are vibrant, the details are sharp, and the whole scene just glows.This is one of those kits that reminds you why you love diamond painting. Paintly Kits did an amazing job with the customization, and the final result is truly special.
This is my first paint by number and I couldn't be more pleased! I chose to have a custom made of my family, the details and the quality are great and I can't wait to hang it up when I'm done!!
I have just started this one. It is my first Paintly kit. The canvas is soft and the drills are beautiful. I can’t wait to finish and will update my review and photo if allowed.
I’m not done yet, but as usual, Paintly does not disappoint! The paint coverage, even the yellows & oranges, has been great!! This has been fun to get started on. This is my 10th painting ordered from Paintly & I can state with confidence, they are my “go-to” site for quality paint by numbers!
This colourful painting was exciting! I started at the top (to get the 'boring' part of the wall over with) but skipped her face (I wanted to save that for the end) and it was so much fun painting the blankets and the fruit and veggies. Even the white blouse is not white at all, of course.
She took me hours and hours and I loved the 'zen' and me-time.
I love the final result (even though the print example is so much smoother), and I cannot wait to get her framed and on my wall.
I spent quite a lot of time on this lovely lady with her gorgeous dress. The light colours are very transparent, so I did the wall behind her twice already and the numbers are still shining through 😞.
I did not blur the colours on purpose; i felt that it would be quite messy, as the colours used next to each other often are quite different, even in the pottery and the fabric of the gown.
The result is a bit 'streaky' (or 'artsy') compared to the print example you see online when buying it, but in this case I actually do not mind.
I think I will love her when she will finally be on my wall 😍.
Love it! After returning from Germany I purchased this because it depicted all the Highlights of Germany that we had just experienced. I love it so much I have now ordered 3 more, Australia, Ireland and St. Louis because these places are near and dear to my heart. Only negative is the time it takes from ordering until you receive them.
Just at the early stages but I’m very happy with the quality of the canvas and resin drills. I was initially missing one color but Paintly’s customer service got me replacements quickly. I would buy again from them.
