How to Paint-By-Number

Time: 12–20 hrs (size & colors) Skill: Beginner-friendly Paint: Water-based acrylic

1

Prep your space

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.
