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.
I've done quite a few of these paint by numbers. This one was better than most. The paints were all slightly above average. My painting had 36 colors and all but maybe 3 or 4 were one coat coverage so thats nice. The only downsides were the brushes, but no matter what kit you buy the brushes are no good so just buy a few good ones. And last complaint which isn't huge but worth mentioning is I paid extra for a wooden frame, and it's the wrong size. I'd have to cut of a small but still significant portion of the painting to use the included frame. Other than that I was very happy with this purchase.
Pictures great canvases great glue is good but I ran out of black 310 and I ran out of blue 823 so I had to order some from Amazon to get here the next day
Love how she turned out.
I had an existing artwork modified to make her hair, color and shape more like mine, and the drink switched over to something I drink and a glass that I would drink out of. And I could not have been more happy with how it turned out. This was my biggest project so far and I absolutely 10 out of 10.
Still in the process of finishing this gorgeous piece!
I think this is the prettiest of the three that I have worked so far.
Colors are so vibrant and the canvas is nice to work on.
I did need to buy a magnifying glass to see some of the details better.
Im amazed sometimes how well my own pictures I paint turn out. . It's awesome to be have the freedom to send pictures that mean something to you rather then just picking out an offered one. Im actually running out of wal space. Lol
Nearly finished this one and loving the end result so far. Great paint. Some numbers too tiny to see even magnified. Canvas great to work on. Not impressed with paint brushes.
This came out so great! I love the ease of it being framed already! It looks so
Good paired with the first one I completed! I’m working on a 3rd kit from Paintly! Repeat customer for sure!
I wasn't sure if I would like it since it didn't have the AB beads. But now I think it wouldn't look right with them. The colors are so natural. The detail is beautiful. I absolutely love this painting. I think it's my favorite so far and I've done several dozen. Love it
The painting turned out beautiful. But one problem was an issue: the consistency of the paint itself. About 10% of the colors were too thin and required two or more coats.
This is hands down my favorite painting that I've done!
80 colors, beautiful paint quality and a great canvas!
I absolutely love it and so does everyone who sees it!
Other than not having enough drills for two of the colors, I love this one!! I had to order from Amazon. They did not match exactly but I made it work. I really like these kits. The canvas is quality and really sticky for the drills. I have done many from Paintly, and I have loved every one. Just received my next project from ! Can’t wait to share that one!
I love this paint by number company! My friend did one from another company while I did this one from Paintly and the quality was much better - from the canvas quality, to the paint consistency, to the accuracy of the paint colors. It was fun, fun, fun. Would definitely recommend Paintly and I will be a returning customer.
