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.
The picture on the canvas is only an example. Your own photo goes there.

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 canvas and supplies were beautiful but, I was disappointed with the clariyof the picture. I mistakenly purchased small canvases and will try a larger canvas when I can afford.
It’s coming along nicely! The paints are real nice but I did buy some acrylic flow medium and added it to a few of the colors, but honestly I don’t think it needs it. The paints flow nice and smooth.
I uploaded my nephew's wedding picture and had them turn it into a fairytale. It's adorable! Not only that, but the canvas was so smooth; it was rolled and not creased. And the best paints I've used so far. The downside is that now all other companies will suffer by comparison.
This is beautiful and super realistic. It’s not quite done because the chair is very detailed at 48 colors, so fairly tedious 😁 I love this painting and it will hang in my kitchen so that I can see it all the time. Thank you, Paintly. Must mention, I have four or five or even maybe six more paint kits from your company that I can’t wait to get started on, some standard and some custom. I keep seeing more and more that I like!
I created my pic with AI. It's an amalgam so to speak of our Mexico vacations. This feature is great! The canvas & size, we'll done.
My ONLY complaint is the transparency of some colors. Going over these spaces gets tiring. Maybe give an opaque white to mix with numbered colors. Other than that, I am enjoying myself immensely.
This took a long time and was very difficult, due to all the fine lines. But I like the end result. The colors on the barn seem way darker than in your picture. But I still like it.
Absolutely love this painting! I did add some extra flowers and bushes as there were sections at the bottom of painting that were full sections of darkness-but art is open to interpretation and it made it a bit more me.
The only thing I disliked was colour #75-hideous dark dark green that was like painting with a paint that didn’t want to be paint!
I loved how Petra turned out. Machu Picchu was a bit more detract than I like. The be with Egypt turned out well. The Egypt one with the Nile was a bit of a pain to to because the numbers were so small. I made them for my daughters’s birthday and she loves them. She has visited all of those places
