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.

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 numbers are so small that I can’t even see half of them. The paints are great quality but I’m not sure I would get an AI painting again. It’s a lot of money for something that’s barely doable. I’m trying to persevere but being honest, I’m not enjoying it. I can’t comment on how good the picture is as I haven’t finished it yet
Another paintly picture, that I love. The colors are quite saturated, but like others I painted, the paints needed some tlc.
16 x 20 36 colors unframed
Really enjoyed painting this, it was my first time and im looking forward to another one . Some of the numbers were very small and a bit hard to read from the paper print but I managed to get it done . Will be doing another one
I enjoyed painting this… the skin is a bit darker that the actual picture that made the whole painting darker . The shipping/packaging was great, paint is nice and smooth, numbers were easy to work with.
The diamond painting didn’t turned out the way as it’s shown on the picture. The Iris bloom is not as clear as the picture. Maybe because it’s small. I’ve expected the finished product will be the same as the picture.
Still finishing. It’s been a learning curve, have never painted so complex before. Quality canvas paints and guidance pictures compared with previous brands. Could never have done this with the cheap stuff i was using. Gives you the best chance for a decent outcome. 1 st of many
This is my 5 kit from Paintly. I really loved painting this one. There is a lot going on that catches the eye. All the plants in the jungle lots of detail. I am very happy with the way the tiger turned out as well. Might be my favorite one I have painted so far!
It was 48 colors, 16" x 24"
The detail was amazing.
The more I painted her the more she came to life.
All the paints were smooth going on..
Paintly paint by number is a great company, so many choices.
It was so fun to paint! It’s exactly as advertised. I love the deep, rich colors. I’m going to frame it and find the perfect place to hang her! 100% recommend
Im very pleased with this kit!!! The canvas, drills, and frame are good quality and its got good stick to it. My son and his husband are going to love it, as its a gift for their anniversary. Will definitely purchase from them again.
